Is it normal for the feeling to change every time you look in the mirror in the early stages after rhinoplasty?

It hasn’t been long since my rhinoplasty, but my nose looks a bit different depending on the time of day morning vs evening.

The first few days had a lot of swelling, which made me worry the bridge might be too high, but as it’s going down, my impression keeps changing.

I asked for a natural look, nothing too dramatic, and I think it was done in a way that suits my face. I especially like my side profile so far.

From the front, the tip still looks a bit blunt, but I’m assuming it’s just swelling. I was told this is normal, so I’m trying to be patient. My experience with Eight Plastic Surgery was actually pretty reassuring, especially with how clearly things were explained.

Breathing has honestly been more uncomfortable than the pain itself.

I know it’s still early, but when did others stop worrying about swelling after rhinoplasty?

I still pretend I know how to pronounce words correctly when I clearly don’t

I have a bad habit that I’ve never fixed, and it’s honestly kind of silly.

Whenever I come across a word I’m not sure how to pronounce, instead of asking or looking it up, I just confidently say it out loud the way I think it sounds… even if I’m completely wrong.

The funny part is I fully commit to it like I’m correct. I’ll even repeat it multiple times in conversation so no one questions it. Later, if I hear someone else say it correctly, I just quietly adjust in my head and act like nothing happened.

At this point I’ve probably mispronounced way more words than I realize, but I still do it out of pure confidence and laziness.

It’s harmless, but definitely one of my weirdest silly habits.
