She is two days after her Rhinoplasty (nose job or nose reshaping) procedure. At two days the swelling is usually at its peak. In the majortiy of primary rhinoplasty procedures, the swelling reduces significantly after this day. This video is being presented to show her at her "worst" from the standpoint of pain and swelling after her nasal plastic surgery.

patient - Hi, okay guys this is day two now after my surgery. I know it looks more painful than what it really is, but it really isn't that bad. Surgery was great. It's more the swelling and the uncomfortableness that really is bothering me. It's really not that painful at all.

I have been very limited on my pain medicine, I haven't really needed it. I've been icing which helps. The breathing has gotten better you know and it's just getting, little by little, I'm just getting better and better and I'm getting more excited to seeing what it really looks like.

I saw a difference immediately. My friends and family did too, which was awesome. But again, I was just so scared about the pain, and I think that was the main thing about the whole surgery I was most scared about. But honestly there really isn't that much. It's just uncomfortableness like I said about the swelling itself. And pain is like, whew, I would do this all over again. But I'm really excited and I can't wait to see it. I get my cast off next week and we'll see a different Ceci.
