1.4 year update
$8,500
After over a year I think my results are about 90% there. My nose still feels funny sometimes. Though my nose is definitely an improvement over what I had before but my two biggest issues still remain. Not enough refinement in the tip, it's too rounded, and the indent that makes my nose look crooked is still there. Not sure what I will do at this point, would like a revision but not sure if I will pursue it.
I would still recommend surgery to anyone that wants it.
Wishing you all happy results!

Hi!! Such a nice change! Iv been searching for surgeons for three months already and he is the one who convinces me the most!! Im afraid it will be a little bit pricey due to its location and to its Wonderful job! I wonder if you Could you tell how much did it cost you? I would be extremely thankful as i am not a us citizen and would need to travel from Switzerland to get the surgery! Ps: sorry for my weak english , your new nose is amazing!

I was wondering if you are happy with your nose after over a year has passed. Are you still thinking of a revision?

not much improvement
The tip has still not refined. At 4 months I am not sure much more will change from here out. The one thing that really disappoints me is that I asked to have the curve in on the left side of my nose filled in. As the swelling went down I could clearly see nothing had been done to that side. : (

Hello, i think your nose looks fantastic, honestly, saying this as a very critical person. Good that you point out not to expect too much- i did not have a bump, and my nose needed only minor correction- as a result 9 days after, i dont see anything, just that because of all the swelling it is worse than before. :)

I do not understand you. Your nose looked crooked and wide before and it is straight and slimmer now. Your tip is clearly swollen because your surgery was only 4 months ago. Even then it looks so much better than before. I would honestly be very happy with your result already. My sister's nose did not shrink until it was close to two years after surgery. I would love to see how your nose looks one year after surgery.

I have to agree. Your nose looks good. I wish mine turned out that nice in my first surgery. I think you should be thrilled with these results. Rhinoplasty is not a since and not a guarantee.

Thanks that is really helpful to know. I am older so I guess I should expect a longer healing time before I see results than others.

I see what you mean about the slight curve. Sometimes things seem more noticeable when we zero in on them. I want to say: look around at everyone's noses... even beautiful noses. They are not perfect, especially at the straight on angle. People generally do not see us from the straight on view, it is unrealistic in a 3D world. But to counter that, I know I say to myself: well I paid good money so I *should* have a *more* perfect nose. I am trying not to be pessimistic as well and think, will it even get better from here on out? It has to, OKAY! It WILL get better for us because swelling takes time. Maybe your surgeon addressed the slight indentation by mirroring it on the other side and that's why it is swollen? Just make up excuses from here until the 1.5 mark. Then in a couple years, we can begin telling ourselves that humans are not perfect and therefore cannot create a perfect nose.... :) Be patient with me!!! And refer to our before photos...

By the way, of course your nose looks beautiful. But I've already told you that and I feel like it passes right through you but for anyone who hasn't read all my comments prior to this (haha um no one), they wouldn't know you know I think your nose looks great.

Thanks I appreciate it! I do hear you when you say you paid big bucks and feel that you deserve an amazing end result for the time and money that was spent though. I appreciate the feed back though, it helps hearing from others who are impartial so you can trust the comments.

Hey! Your tip swelling will still go down a lot over the next few months! It really takes foreverrrrr for the tip to go down. Also, some days my nose seems to curve a little to the right. Then the next day, it looks straight and balanced. (I'm almost 10 months post-op after septo-rhinoplasty with Dr. G). Some people told me they couldn't tell I had the surgery either, where I see a huge difference. Just remember no one stares at your nose the way you do. (I still have to remind myself of that fact... all the time). But congrats, you really look amazing!

Hello, I hope that you are well.
I was wondering if you may provide feeback on the doctor and his staff? I thought I was completely sure I was going with Dr. G but after contacting his office to set up a surgery date and the receptionist being extremely unprofessional Im not so sure. Thanks.
