Time Flies!
WORTH IT$9,200
Well, You won't believe this but I haven't even gone to my one year follow-up yet. I know..... but I am happy with the result and thought a follow-up visit wasn't needed. Maybe, I'll stop by Dr C's office one of these days to say 'hi'.
My nose has changed a lot in the past six months. There are days when I look very swollen but I learned to not take too many pictures on those days. :)
If you are thinking about going through with the procedure, my only recommendation is that you do your due diligence on your surgeon. After making a decision, stay positive! You will shine from within!

10 months - still changing
Well it's my 10 month anniversary and I thought I put up a couple before and afters. I still have days when my nose swells up but I am not thinking about it too much. My sister recently visited and couldn't believe how "small" my nose was. I remember wanting to see pictures of people with long term reviews before my surgery, so I hope my update will help others on their decision making process. Find a doctor with experience and you will be happy!

Oh my goodness it's looks great!! Can't believe it's already been 10 months!! You look gorgeous! STunning! and It goes great with your face!
Thank you! Feels good!
he really took into consideration the rest of your face when he performed your rhinoplasty. So many doctor swill tack a nose on someones face without considering the balance of the face and Cochran definitely didn't do this. It fits you very nicely, oh and is that some brown in your blue eye? Very unique characteristic :D
I completely agree with you! I didn't want someone else's nose - I wanted mine smaller. I am so happy with the result! Yes, the brown spot is definitely a conversation starter . :)
You look fab and your nose looks fab too! How's the horse riding going? My poor horse had to have an op in sept to remove a bone cyst on pedal bone :( we are walking only at mo but fingers crossed he will stay sound xxxxx
oh, no! I hope everything will be ok with your horse. I can't stand it when my animals are hurt. I have been riding here and there - I fell of the other day (my saddle belt was lose while galloping) and the only thing I was concentrating on is protecting my nose. hehe
You look great!
Thank you :)

7 month angle/profile pics
I realized that my profile and angle look has not changed that much the last 4 months. I see a tiny shrinkage but other than that I really have to look. On the contrary, I am extremely pleased that my nose is so defined from straight on.
I believe hydration has a big role achieving this definition!

I looked at Dr. Cochran when I first startd looking for a surgeon! He did a really good job on you. It doesn't look like a nose job and looks as if you were born with it. Your confidence shines in your smile now, which makes you make attractive. Glad to know you're still loving it!
Thank you. I never wanted a nose from a magazine picture and maybe that is why I am so much happier with this result!
Oh yes, there is noticeable difference in the definition, and also your profile and 45 angle are smaller. Your nose looks very natural, and I am glad to hear that you are happy. Has your life changed in any way - attitude, self esteem, reaction from people?
Thank you. I cannot believe that you see the difference, for me it is so subtle. I always had a good self esteem but I had an incident last year and after that I realized I have to have a nose job. It was nothing mean or dramatic but a reality check that my confidence is hindered by my nose size - especially the profile look. (Maybe, I can share with you the whole story over coffee one day.) Interestingly people who have not seen me for years immediately could tell that I had something done to my face. People I see everyday did not notice (or they just not saying it :)) I am extremely happy with the result and I am truly glowing from within. I cannot wait to see your journey! XOXO
I am leaving on a long vacation - for three months - so the steroids better last that long :) I will be happy to have that coffee with you sometimes in the new year, we can compare our experience and noses! :) I would like to hear what incident made you change your mind. In my case, I went through episodes in my life when I was desperate for a nose job and when I was ok with my nose. Even with my old nose, I had healthy self esteem too. Funnily, there were constant reminders in my every day life that my nose size was too big, like I always saw it in a bottom vision, when looking straight, or some bottles and tumblers were uncomfortable to drink, kissing my hubby....all such little things that I don't think about anymore. It's easy to forget.
I would not mind a long vacation just about now! Even if we do not forget, we think about those nose incidents with a smile! Let's keep in touch! Enjoy your time away!
thanks for posting that 3 month compared to 7 month. I'm at three now and it helps me see how swollen it might be!
Maybe because I see my face everyday I am not seeing a huge change. :) It's goof to hear from others that it is changing!
WOW... you look great!
Thank you!
Wow, beautiful profile! Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks!
