Hi all just wanted to update everyone. I will get more pics once I'm not pregnant and my face is no longer swollen. 4 more weeks and I'll be back to normal lol! I still really love my nose my profile is my favorite which is funny because I use to hide it and pose so no one noticed my old witch nose! I also love the way the tip is more defined and smaller. The best part is how natural it looks, I'm really happy about how it turned out and once my little one is here I'll show you some pics of my no longer fat pregnant face =)

I had never liked my nose it didn't matched the rest of my features. Dr Shah made it feminine and cute and now I am so happy and confident with it!

Congrats on the new nose-it looks great! Poor puppy, he probably felt so bad. :) I can't see a bump at all. Are you heading back to work soon? My surgery is tomorrow and I am just wondering how much down time I should really plan to have, like you I get bored quickly.

Thank you, I think that was his I'm sorry face =) I had my surgery May 24th and was back to work June 4th. I could have gone back June 1st because by then I didn't have any pain, my splint was off, and I could cover up the small amount of bruising with makeup. But I think it depends on the person so just take it easy and ice like you're supposed to. I did not and ended up with a shot in the nose =)

Hi, im highly considering rhinoplasty with Dr. Shah. Im super nervous and have been following your surgery experience. Your nose looks fabulous! Its very natural and fits your face perfectly. I was just wondering about nausea/pain/breathing post surgery. Im just freaking out because i cant imagine the thought of not being able to breathe out of my nose for a few days. Did you feel like you were suffocating? How long would you say you had discomfort? Were you able to sleep fine? Sorry for all the questions but im totally getting nervous.

Lol Don't worry you sound like me before i did it =) Shah is amazing! I had zero nausea I asked for some anti nausea drugs before surgery because I have a very sensitive stomach and the nurse had me feeling fine and I never even got queasy. I had very minimal pain less pain then you would have with a headache. The breathing out of your mouth is not fun but you quickly get used to it and keep lots of water and chopstick nearby. but within a couple days I could breath out of my nose again and I never felt like I was suffocating but sleeping like that is hard to get used to the first few days. I had discomfort for about a week but really that's all it is, very easy! I didn't sleep well the first couple days but then I was fine once I was really tired my body just took over =) Hope this helps let me know if you have any other questions =)

Thanks for the very helpful details - definitely yours is a success story. I was wondering if the change has trigerred any identity issues. I read somewhere that some patients look in the mirror and see a different person then what they've used to see their whole life. Not that one couldn't get used with a better looking face but wondering if it's causing any "old look nostalgia" at all?

Hi Tm, I have not had any issues with feeling like I look like someone else. Rhinoplasty if done correctly is such a subtle change that most people wont even notice if you don't tell them, then they'll notice and be surprised because it makes such a difference with such a small amount of updates. I Love my new nose. Yesterday I was playing with my friends baby and I asked him if he could touch his tongue to his nose (I used to be able to) I tried and couldn't. OMG I thought it used to hang down that far! I enjoy seeing it change everyday and get more refined and smaller it's a great experience and I still feel like me just a cuter nose is all.

Well I'm two weeks post op today. I wish it could have been a better day then it was. My jerk face puppy decided to head butt me in my nose and it looks awful right now. I'm so worried he ruined it. The bridge is sooo red and it looks like there is a bump again. The tip is really swollen and it feels like it's going to float off my face right now. I'll show you guys the profile and let me know what you think. I'm going to ice it and pray it's just swelling and not damaged. Looks like I'll be back on my pain meeds tonight. I'm so upset right now I don't even want to look at myself it just makes me want to cry!

Haha I keep checking as well!! =) Can't wait to see your progress, especially after the shot.

I honestly don't see a thing. Still looks great to me, but if it continues to swell or hurt, I would definitely call your doctor right away.
June 8, 2012
I am sure it feels awful! But honey it looks beautiful! It might actually be a little swollen from being bumped, but it isn't noticeable at all xoxo I hope you feel better.
