It’s getting there 🙂 God my swelling was so bad lol, it wasn’t actually sore it just looked really bad! 🙂 It’s all gone now thank goodness, just a little left on my nose itself. It’s hard to be patient with the result isn’t it, not that we have any choice! 😉 xx

I think you do have some swelling on the tip, I had the same the first 4 or 5 days after cast off and then it started going down, we all have to be patient 🙂 Isn’t it nice to have a small cute nose! You look stunning and it’s going to get even better as the months pass xx

How long should you keep the drip pad on, until your nose is completely dry or just until it stops oozing? (Gross I know, sorry!)
Secondly, when should you start using the nasal spray they give you?
Thanks for any advice! 🙂 xx
