Well, I have been getting back into the swing of life as it was before surgery finally :-) Including my workout routines. It feels so great to be able to accomplish cardio and weight training with more effective breathing!

I've also started to massage the bridge of my nose as it isn't as sore to the touch to help with swelling and smoothing the tiny bumps i can feel through my skin from where the bump was shaved down. it's helping alot.

Hello Sara I just wanted to warn you to please go gentle with any exercising this soon after surgery. Although we desire to get back to our routine workouts, they do unfortunately causes additional swelling. This is why I advise patients to stick to simple power walking for the first 6 weeks after surgery.

Being that this was a primary rhinoplasty for you, I think you will be coming along nicely at around 3 to 4 months. If this was a revision rhinoplasty your recovery would last about twice as long.

Do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach?

Thank you for the heads up! I haven't gotten back into running yet as it isn't time yet for that. :-) I walk uphill and do light weights and it doesn't make me swell any more than is already there. I don't swell much from exercise, I know this because I went through the same type of thing when I had my jaw surgery and dealing with the crazy facial swelling from that :-)

A quick question for you though: When are the internal stitches supposed to be dissolved enough that I can pull them out? The strings inside are holding onto all kinds of dried crusty gross stuff and it clogs my nose holes :-P
