WORTH IT$8,000
Just had a filler shot injected on the right nostril yesterday. Not too painful and the results were immediate. It filled in the side of my nostril where I felt my nose appeared slightly pinched. It's subtle but made a big difference to my watchful eye :-)

Posted my 4 month post op pics. My nose is settling in quite nicely now. Im at the point now that I can appreciate having the surgery even though the recovery period is an experience in itself. I think thats the hardest part of having a rhinoplasty.

Thank u missmiami but I guess I didn't post the right kind of pictures. I will post a before pic of my profile and you will see the old Indian hump. It was a mess. Dr Jeffrey epstein performed my rhino and at only 4 months post op I think he did a wonderful job. The swelling will fool ya in the beginning. Let me go look for some before pics from the side view.

Cool thanks. I went on his website yesterday. I am in Miami so trying to find a local doctor is hard. I havea consult with Dr. davis in October but haven't found another doctor as of yet. It is hard finding someone to work on an ethnic nose and like you said I dont want a new ose just a better version of my own. I will contact Dr. epstein. Did he use any grafts or etc?

I'm glad you're feeling better about the results! I didn't realize Dr. Epstein performed facial plastic surgery. I had a consult with him in NY to lower my hairline but didn't go forward with it because his sales team gave me such a hard sell! Though my research showed that he was well-known in the hair transplant field, I didn't like being pushed in the direction of a lot of expensive options I didn't initially come to get by him and the sales crew - but it's a business. I thought about it when I re-read what you said about having a clear idea of what you wanted when you walked in and getting coaxed into more and disliking the results. As time goes by I hope you continue to grow into liking your new nose or modifying it if you wish. Thank you for sharing your story.

Yes he is a facial specialist. He doesn't operate on any other part of the body, just hair transplants and facial. I'm surprised you had such an aggressive experience with his staff, they were always so sweet and caring with me. Maybe that might also be because at my consultations I already knew I was having the surgeries, it was mere housekeeping going thru the consults. He really is a great surgeon.

Hi did the doctor use wedge incisions or sill incisions to narrow your nostrils? I can't quite tell from the pictures you posted.

Honestly I have no idea. I can ask at my next appointment next week and let you know. I never asked exactly how he was going to do it.

Both, I had stitches inside of my nostrils and stitches on the outside of the little strip of skin separating your nostrils.

It is settling in nice. Wow, i didnt know it would take so long for the final product. I am definately thinking twice. Did u get any grafts or anything? Did he just use your own cartlidge and stuff?

I have no idea. Yes girl it take so long and so much patience. You have to be a monk not to flip out. I would say if u don't absolutely hate your nose, don't change anything about it. Even slight changes alter what you are used to seeing in the mirror and will drive you insane if you didn't hate it before. Just a small tip. Don't do any more than what you think you need, don't listen to the doc telling you what you should do.

Im at the 3 month mark and I am sooooo happy. I love my new nose! Forget all of those things I said before. The swelling went down and my nose settled into a very nice look. The nose dropped and isnt in the air anymore and my nostrils are no longer slanted. It was a long journey but for anyone who is freaking out about their nose job results, please learn from me, BE PATIENT! Stay away from the mirror for the first 2 and half months. It will drive you insane for no reason. I still have 8 months of healing to do but at this point i am very happy with my results...
