5 Months Post-Op

Everything is adjusting well. Unfortunately I still snore, the surgery didn't correct that. My nose is "settling" into place and my old curve is becoming more noticeable. It's not as pronounced as it was but I can still see it. The main (and most important) thing is that I have both nasal passages open.

I'm still very glad I got the surgery. My self-esteem has been boosted. I didn't realize how much I didn't like my nose being curved. It's also nice for when I get sick. When one passage is blocked, I have the other to rely on. I would 100% recommend this surgery to anyone considering it. The benefits outweigh the recovery time. I'm not sure I'll ever get my curve fixed straight but I'm happy with the results.

My nose is becoming less sensitive. The base is still a little stiff but every month it gets better and better. I can no longer tell when it's going to snow either. I am still using the non-petroleum based jelly for my nose. I don't use it everyday but it helps with the snoring.

Here's me 5 months post surgery!
