Hi ladies here is a little update well is been six months since my surgery and Yes My nose does look thinner but from the side view Is still big :( sometimes I feel like my dream of having a beautiful nose is never gonna come true. I plan to call Dr. Elam office when the 12 months gets closer so he could look at my results I haven't heard or been to his office after I took out my cast.

Yeah, you should give it some time to heal. I like your attitude because some people get really depressed after cast removal! it's like it's the end result

I'm sure it will look great after the swelling has gone down. That's exactly how I feel too. My nose still looks big with the cast on so I'm thinking its the swelling. I'll have my cast removed on Friday.

yes mine looked big with the cast so when I got it remove yesterday I was prepared for it and I know Dr. Elam is a great doctor so I guess patience is all we need to we could heal and see results.

I don't think I'm an ugly person but my nose has always been too big for my face. I have posted some pictures of me before surgery and I can't wait for me to recover and post my new nose pictures
