Happy half a year birthday nose.
WORTH IT$5,559
Holy cow. How on earth has it been 6 months? I've been thinking about how my life has changed since I had my nose done and here are my musings:
- It will completely change you but completely not change you all at the same time: you forget what hating your nose felt like - super weird, so your new straight lovely nose just becomes the norm.
- No one will notice. Genuinely. Which bothered me, I spent a lot of time, mild pain and money on this! But it really is true that we're all noticing our own imperfections to take a second look at anyone else's.
- They tell you it's the waiting after to have it revealed that is the most frustrating part, no, wrong! It's the 6 months and counting that it takes for the puffy weirdness to go down that is the real kicker, which also makes the whole experience not a dramatic change if your surgery was a minor adjustment (felt like mine was face changing, but actually, just a little straighter and smaller!)
- If you're happy with your new nose (hopefully you are) you'll never take it for granted - it'll become a big fan of being featured in pictures at all angles!
- Nope, you won't get addicted to plastic surgery. My then boyfriend now husband was convinced this would just be the start of me changing myself, that I should speak to someone (counselling) first before the change... I'm good. I don't want to go under the knife again, it was a big decision I didn't take lightly and I feel it was 100% the right choice.
- Finally, TAKE pictures. I thought my doctor would share the before and afters with me - they didn't, they lost them, but also wouldn't share them with me unless I paid £50; I read the fine print on the op, the finances, but missed that if you want your pictures you'll have to exchange MORE money.
Over and out.

The swelling is still taking its time - apparently I have strong bones and thick skin!
Still a little stiff but it's getting there!

Great pics! I'm almost five months out and I still notice swelling too. Is your tip still numb in areas? Mine is. And I read on here if there's numbness then you're likely still swollen.
