I can tell my nose is not done with the swelling, I would say about 20% left to go and most of it is in the tip. My tip is still pretty hard to the touch and I can't really crinkle my nose all the way. It's also still a little lifted a the tip, and my results should be a straight nose. Dr. Torkian noted that early on the tip would look a bit lifted. It's not very noticeable tho.
I also notice my male is more swollen in the morning still, but dissipates through out the day.
Overall still super happy with my results and can't wait to see what it's like at the year mark!
6 Weeks Post-Op
The swelling and numbness in my chin has gone down so much. There is still some heightened sensitivity on my left lower lip and chin, but the sensation is definitely returning to normal and it no longer gets sore from smiling or talking! woohoo!
My nose consistently fluctuates with swelling. In the morning it is much bigger than it is by afternoon. I can see the tip becoming a bit more refined as well, though the differences are minor.
The bridge of my nose is also still a bit swollen. But nothing that looks odd as it was right after surgery, I just personally know that my nose is wider than it should be.
I don't see that much a difference in my photos from week 4 till now, its really hard to capture the slight differences unless you have great lighting! I'll post a few more pics in a few weeks when the change is a bit more noticeable.

Provider Review
Dr. Torkian was the only doctor I consulted with. Some may think that's crazy, but he really put me at ease and thoroughly explained what techniques he could use. I went in just knowing that I didn't like my nose, mainly the hump, and that I didn't think it fit my face. He has a great aesthetic taste, and none of the photos he showed me look like the stereotypical nose jobs that most people think of when they hear about this surgery. I told him over and over-- natural, I want to look natural. Not like a different person. And he did just that! My consultation was free and lasted about an hour. My photo was taken via 3D imaging and this was used during the consultation to make changes to my face. I then met with his patient coordinator to go over what the costs are and if insurance would cover any. Never did his staff push me in a direction, they just gave me the information I needed to make a decision. His staff is very friendly, I could call or email questions and they kindly and promptly answered. About a month prior to surgery I had a pre-op appt. in which I met with Dr. Torkian for about another hour. We went over my photos again, and I had a chance to make any changes or ask questions about the surgery, pre- and post op recovery etc. He was always kind, re-assuring, professional, and down to earth. I would 100% recommend Dr. Torkian to a friend.. and I have some considering going to him =)
