Day 22 and I'm feeling great! I was starting to worry a little with the shape...and then out of nowhere, it changed! It's starting to look great, and I can really see it taking it's form. I'm still hiding a little bruising on the bridge and there is still swelling in the tip, but I'm very pleased.

I posted a profile pic for you! Still a little swollen. I also wanted to make sure the doc didn't give me a sloped nose, so I'm very happy with the results! It's very natural and perfect for me!

Thank you! Not the greatest picture, but I wanted to show how great a job the Dr. did with making me look natural and not too over done. Just what I wanted!

You look great! I am in the "seeking consultations phase". I have a hump that I'd like to have removed. I've been self-consious about my nose since at least junior high and HATE my profile. I understand how you felt about pictures. On one of the doctor's before/after pics on his website, he made a comment that I thought was kind of cute. He pointed out that the lady in the pic had great features and that she didn't need her old nose clamouring for attention (she had a hump removed). Now her other features are in the limelight as they should be. I love your new nose and couldn't help but notice you have a great smile too. I hope you can feel better about pics now. Congrats!

Thank you! I'm very happy I finally did it! I already feel more comfortable in my own skin...even though I'm still in the recovery phase. I'm looking forward to the transformation of my new nose in the next few weeks. :)

Oh my goodness... So much better now! I'm still hiding some bruising in my bridge. Other than that, I'm feeling great and my nose is quickly showing it's new shape! How are you? Are you feeling better?

Oh my your nose is soooooo cute and perfect!!! You look so good! Your new nose just opens up your whole face! You have such a nice smile and now it is complimented by your nose :)) And makes you look so young :)
I am feeling great!!! Check out my updated pics :) My nose is starting to feel normal again when I smile and when I am washing my face...don't really think about it...which is freedom for me :)

You are looking fantastic. Did you have your bones broken on the bridge. I'm 42 and it's amazing how many people are doing this at 40+. I was thinking maybe this is a really bad bad idea for me. I don't have anything booked yet. Still meeting with doctors. But, really helps seeing that others in the same age range are doing this for themselves. Hope it gives me the strength to move forward.

After so many years of research and thinking of surgery, I decided to just move forward and do it! I had my consultation and scheduled surgery for less than 4 weeks out, otherwise I would have changed my mind once again. I had 2 previous consults before. One at the age of 22, another at the age of 26. Then, changed my mind! So, at 33 I didn't want to wait any longer. To answer your question, yes I did have bones broken, my septum straightened and transposition of the depressor septi muscle(under nose/lip). It's been just over a week and I'm now feeling it was all worth it! I say, go for it! But, do your research! :)

Hi,

Both your front and side look fantastic. Did the doc do a lot of work on your tip too? It's amazing how natural and perfectly your nose suits you.
