Hi guys, so I'm just coming up to the 6 month mark. Dr Shahidi have me the all clear, no injections needed. My recovery has been a pretty smooth process. I still feel swelling in the morning along the bridge and tip but that's it. My nose no longer feels stiff and I have not had any infections or sinus issues at all since. It shows the FESS procedure I had
Done has really helped.
I also have so much more confidence in myself with the way I look. I just can't believe how out of balance my face was before and im so happy I went through with this!

Here's some more pics. My nose is still sore if it gets bumped but swelling has gone down a lot more and there is still swelling that I can feel. My nose isn't so numb either.

I am so happy with my nose! I have had such positive comments from people about how natural and fitting it is to my face.
I am sneezing soo much and every time I do my nose starts running. Sense of smell is there but not strong. I have to really try to smell something eg cooking food. My nose is completely clear though. The swelling is minimal but it does swell on occasion and sometime it throbs at the tip. And I get really itchy where my stitches are healing. Also still slightly numb at the tip. Still hurts like hell when I bump it.
My nose is soo oily! It's terrible! There's so much my nose feels slimy. Im pretty sure it's from taping it and where the cast at night. I'm hoping in don't have to keep it up much longer. So sick of the 'tape my nose up before bed' routine.

Your nose looks beautiful, you are very beautiful....a perfect nose job.
How do you feel today? doe your nose appear more straight or curved? and what was the goal, to have a slight curve or more straight? i think when your nose appears straight it might be swelling that could take months to settle.But idk!
You look awesome though, congrats!!!

Thank you! The goal was more refined with a curve but not a ski slope. Most of the time it looks curved and I think your right when it's really straight I think it's just swollen. It's changed a lot the past month so it's surprised me how much swelling I actually had. Since the difference from my original nose was significant even if it was swollen so I thought I had minimal swelling but apparently not haha. I love my nose and for my face it really is perfect and doesn't make me feel like I'm a different person just makes me feel like me just better

Im happy for you. Its really matches your other facial features....
sometimes eating too much salty food aka sodium, can increase the swelling, thats why u might see your nose get swollen one day and not the next etc.
The kind of curve you got is really great. Congrats again!

Oh thank you! Yeah that makes sense, I normally eat insanely healthy and some days I might treat myself to some junk while I'm out of the house.

Your nose suits you sooo much! Looks fantastic.
The photo you posted of the potential nose you'd like (girl with the black hair in a pony tail) did you show dr shahidi the photo and did he say it was achievable ? Did it turn out as you wanted it to like the picture? Also who is that is the picture? I love that nose too and want to find more pics of her! Thank you for sharing your story :)

Hi Zed I actually didn't show him that picture but I had shown him previously picture that were pretty much the same. To be honest my nose isn't as curved and upturned as I had envisioned but it was what could be done with my bone structure and it does suit me perfectly. However in saying that my nose is still very swollen so it will still refine so it is pretty close to as what I did want.
Shahidi was very genuine and knew that I wanted a cuter more refined nose and I didn't even have to say anything about achieving a natural look. He told me himself that he wouldn't give me a fake ski slope nose.
