I continue to love my nose as it settles into its new shape - lots of refining has happened over the last few months. The tip and underside still felt numb and hard, and during my last follow up Dr. R gave me two shots of Cortisone in the nose tip, with another follow up in 8 weeks. Two days after the Cotisone shot, I can feel my nose tip is less rigid and I can feel it more. The shots do not hurt :)

Baseball - style hats and pulling my hair back from my face are a welcome novelty! Amazing all the things that I have avoided because I would not want to draw attention to my nose profile!
I wish I had the resources to do this decades ago... and I am grateful that I was able to do it now.

Hey! I was going to upload a new pic but I didn't do it right. I am doing well - now putting vaseline in my nose (per doctor's instructions) to keep things protected. The swelling on one side that was making me freak a little because it makes my nose look crooked is sort of settling down. I know it's only been 3 weeks :)
My profile is awesome though! I bought a baseball style hat which with my previous nose I would never do - long nose plus long brim equals no-no.
How are you doing? I am excited for you and wishing you well.

Glad to hear things are better... & funny about the hat, I have always worn hats my whole life especially hats with big brims. I genuinely like them but part of it is to take attention away from my nose. As if people wouldn't notice!
Looking forward to getting it all over with!

That reminds me of the Wizard of Oz..."pay no attention to the nose under the hat..." I am sure no one noticed our noses, anyway, but it is sure nice to like your profile. Are you going in the morning on Monday?

I called my PS to make sure that I should not be worried that my nose looks crooked...they said that asymmetrical swelling is normal. I am hoping that is settles soon! Smile is staring to return, but my nose is still stiff and delicate to touch.
