Over a year after my surgery, I couldn't be more satisfied! I absolutely LOVE my new nose and I am just happy I went through with it as soon as I did. I wish I had done it years ago. I couldn't have picked a better surgeon. Dr Shah is AMAZING. So reassuring and professional; the work he did is fantastic and I have gotten the sweetest compliments from people that has made me feel incredible. If anyone would like to ask questions, please feel free! Sorry it has been a while since my last update, I have had a lot going on recently! I am a huge advocate of being comfortable in your skin because it truly is a horrible feeling to be self conscience. If you choose to get a nose job, do NOT feel like you are weak for making this decision.

Does your nose look exactly how the doctor showed it on the simulator thing in the consultation??? :)

Your nose looks so great and you look stunning! I have my surgery scheduled for Jan 15th with Dr. Shah and for the first time I am starting to get anxious. My family and friends have not been too supportive but I am sticking with my choice. Thanks for sharing your progress, I appreciate it!

OK it's been 12 weeks and everything is turning out wonderfully! I am so happy! I am waiting for 6 months because my doctor said that is his favorite time to see how the nose has developed. He said it will look more refined and detailed. But I am happy already so I guess it can only get better from here :)

Hi there, just wanted to say (first post) that you had one of the best rhinoplasties I've seen on here! You were beautiful from the start. Love your hair curly:)

Hi Bella,
I have been wanting to get a rhinoplasty for the past 5 years now. I met with Dr. Shah about 2 years ago and thought he would be a great doctor. I didnt end up getting it done because my family was kind of against it and I was only 18 at the time so I was kind of scared to do it. My sister just got hers done this summer tho, so I think my parents are more comfortable now and Im definitley ready to do this! I just have a question for you. I was curious how did you know what the front of your nose was going to look like because Dr. Shahs computer editing only really gives you a good image of the side profile? And by the way, you nose looks great and very natural :-)

Hi!
This article helped me so much! I am 16 (almost 17) years old, I've hated my nose since I was in 6'th grade when the other kids started teasing my, telling me that I looked like a boy. I can't wait for my 18'th birthday, because my grandparents said they hey would pay since it was from that side of the family.
And I must say that your nose looks SO pretty now!
Good luck when the swelling goes away! :)

I'm so glad to hear that this helped you make a decision. When I was 16 I also wanted to get it done but didn't end up doing it until 8 years later lol. Totally worth it and made me 100% more confident. Just make sure you do your research and pick a surgeon you are comfortable with, can trust, and has great credentials. Thanks for your comments I will continue to update as time goes on. Let me know if you have any questions :)

Hi Bella! Like so many other people on this site, your review helped me SO much over the past few months as I made my rhinoplasty decision and moreover now, as I'm in the is-the-swelling-ever-going-to-end recovery period post-op (with your same doctor!) I'm only at 9 days, but based on your beautiful results, I have lots to look forward to. Thank you so much for helping so many strangers!

That is so kind of you to say that! I am so thrilled that people are finding my review helpful :) I know the uncertainty and anxiety a person can experience before and right after a rhinoplasty. Well I know you picked an amazing surgeon so I'm sure your results will be fabulous! At about 4 weeks, enough of the swelling went down that I was happy but even when the cast first came off there was a huge difference and I loved it even though there was a lot of swelling. Time will go by and you will just continue to see vast improvement. If you have any other questions feel free to talk to me I am so happy to help :) Thanks again!

I am loving loving it! I did the same thing you did. I had a haircut like two weeks after surgery, and they all said I looked different! I didnt say I had a nose job, just a hair cut.
