Now to think about it... my rhinoplasty was worth it.. I was really worried before because it didn't look great, and I felt more self conscious about it and decided to re do them, but now after months have past... I realized I'm liking my nose more often, and my eyes as well.

Hi, so you didn't have your bridge augmented at all? I also have thick skin and was wondering what the healing process is like. I think your nose and eyes look great now. They fit your face well!

Thanks for sharing your pics. You look fantastic. DId you get them both your nose and eyes done at the same time? Does the doctor you listed above have a link? I'm researching the same two procedures here in LA...

I think your nose looks great and wow you can see what a difference a few months can make with refinement. Thank you for sharing! You have given me hope because I'm almost 5 weeks post op and feeling like my nose looks big and clownlike. Glad you are seeing the results you wanted!

It's been about a month since my surgery, and I have noticed that one of my nostrils are bigger than the other.. I felt like my left nostril is smaller than the right... Is my nose still swollen? It's quite nerve wrecking since I don't want my nose to turn out like this.. Tomorrow will be my one month post op... Please help me out..I've been so emotional and my confidence has been going down a lot lately.. I also think one of my nostril size is bulkier than my other side.. Please help me

Thank you for posting in the Rhinoplasty community!

I think your nose looks great! Maybe it's just the photo, but I can't see any asymmetry at all in your nostrils.

If you do, then yes, it could still be swelling. It can take up to a year to see your final results.

Thank you! I hope my nose looks great, and I just hate how it's not similar.. It's so annoying... = /
how do you get rid of the scar on the columella area?
Is it still okay if I gently touch the nose on the side or will that ruin my nose shape?

well my doc didnt make insision on columella he did 2 alar bas incision to minimize my nostrils size
and about touching it i already was instructed to make gentle massaging on the bridge and make slight pinching to my nostrils 10 times at night when i change the tape
