My nose was my biggest insecurity and I finally decided to go under the knife in March of 2023. I want to share my nose surgery experience and general information on what to expect before, during and after rhinoplasty.
My biggest challenge was wearing my prescription glasses during the 8 weeks of my new nose healing. I found a product that was a complete life-saver for my recovery that I have featured here.

This product, OpticBridge Glasses Holder, are made just for rhinoplasty recovery and a must-have if you wear heavy prescription lenses like I do. They rest on your cheeks and lift glasses away from your nose. Check them out here

I love these gel ice packs. They are small and come with a lovely soft pouch. I like that there are two so I can have one in the freezer and one for the microwave. As a result I can alternate cold and heat for my face/nose area. These were perfect for my recovery.
