Hi Skye,
So sorry it took so long to get back to you...I never even knew you asked me a question. Oh the swelling!!!! Yes, I had a ton of swelling and it lasted for a good 3-4 months. I thought it was because of the heat (had surger y in the summer, but that was the only time I could get off of work) but then again, I am one of those people that swells up really fast so I was expecting it. It does take months for that to go away and it was really hard to be patient but now, it is almost one year since my surgery and I am loving it. I feel great and usually all this rain (I in my NYC) would be killing my allergies and I would have headaches everyday and at least one or two sinus infections and I have been pretty okay. I had closed surgery but my sister had surgery with him in February and she had open because he broke her nose and her cartlage was really messed up. The scar is healing well and but she has a lot of swelling too. Maybe it runs in the family. I hope you are feeling better. Don't you feel that Dr. Guida is sweet when it comes to being impatient??? I have heard, and read on this site about other doctors who are really annoyed when the patients complain about not healing faster. He was not like that with me and hasn't been like that with my sister either. Good Luck. Hope you're healing!! C

Hi Skye, Not sure if you still check on this, how is everything going? I am going for surgery with Dr. Guida within the next few months (still working it out). He was and is still my #1 choice. Do you have any photos to share?
Thanks!
Thanks!
