I always felt people noticed my nose about me...

I always felt people noticed my nose about me before anything else, that it simply overwhelmed my face. Now I feel at ease and more social and overall happier. I have gotten nonstop compliments on the my new nose's shape and the way it enhances my face. I simply love it.

You look great!! Did you have open or closed rhinoplasty?

it was open because of the droop in my tip. I was apprehensive at first but I am so glad I decided to go with the open approach. I know a friend from school who had a rhinoplasty with the closed approach and her nose started drooping again since it has been five years since her surgery.

oh I definitely will! I need to take a new picture since it has been more than two months now. I've gotten lazier since I started liking my results more. I'll post a frontal one but the front is still swelling a little unevenly.

it's taking forever to post some more pictures but hopefully it loads soon. when did you get your surgery? my rhinoplasty was just such a transformation. I can't believe I ever had that nose LOL I joke about it all the time by showing off my original nose to unsuspecting people. Dr. Shah really did do an amazing job. I just need to be patient with the results. :)

I haven't had my primary yet but my profile looks exactly like your before profile. I've always eyed Shah as a potential surgeon because he does subtle and I really want subtle. Im middle eastern so I'm really trying to go natural. PS love the pic you just posted
