My deviated septum was bothering me and I wanted to refine my nose as all that rubbing made it look more bulbous in pictures. I'm 36 and look 36. I would rather look 32. Life gave me a break to polish myself up a little and after having two kids in the last 3 years I am doing just that.

My cast was removed the day before yesterday. I was scared to look in the mirror! but when I did I immediately felt relieved. My nose looked a lot better than I expected. So far I am happy with the result..we will see how things progress as my nose heals. My nose has continued to look better every day and I'm still at home so I feel like I am looking at it every 10 minutes and feeling pretty happy every time. Things are swollen right now and the stitches were very uncomfortable to have removed in this sensitive area. Can't wait to see what Dr. Shah recommends next. I am very comfortable with this surgeon and I am picky picky picky

Sure I will.. I thought I would wait until the swelling goes down a bit more.. I also had some needling done on my cheeks at the same time so everything is still trying to sort itself out. I am now 11 days post op..nose is still looking great. I am doing some nose excercises as i feel like my nose is to the right slightly but could be bc of swelling..its still early and I'm still happy. I mentioned this to dr.s and as I suspected, he was supportive and more critical than I am myself, so if it becomes an issue I know it will be fixed. All things considered..I am still not disappointed in the least with the outcome. I have been taking pictures daily so if anyone needs them right away pm me otherwise I will wait until 6 wks post op. As far as the fat transfer.. Dr.s was very conservative.. And I am so thankful bc I was panicked on day 3 post op due to the swelling and read about so many unfortunate experiences on this site. I never really discussed it in detail w dr.s he just seemed to know the level to take things since I had 3 procedures done at the same time.

I am going to get a nose job hopefully within the next year and am considering Dr. Shah! Your experience with him is reassuring but I would love to see your results!
I'm glad you were able to do something for yourself after having children! I'd love to see your before and after photos (you can blur out your eyes if that would make you more comfortable). Please let me know if I can do anything to help you navigate around RealSelf and thank you for posting your experience!
