The first day is the worst. You’ll feel like a sad raccoon with a face full of cement. But by day four, you’ll be eating potato chips again (carefully). By week two, you’ll only notice it when you smile. And by month two, you’ll forget it ever happened—until someone tells a bad joke about your “new nose.”
So, to sum it all up: ice it, sit up, don’t blow it, and don’t be a hero. If you’re worried, get checked. And if you’re just nursing a mild break, give yourself permission to put your feet up and binge that show you’ve been saving. Your nose earned it.
