My journey through pictures!
I can't believe it's been almost four months since I did my nose. This picture says it all!
I accidentally clicked post. "3 months post w/pictures" CONTINUED...
As I was saying...
- He told me to massage my incision for it to completely fade. He also said that my tip will continue to raise a few millimeters, due to the cartilage he removed and added (to restructure my tip. WoohoO!!) He also said he didn't need to inject any steroids this appt because it's healing well on its own. He said that he will probably take my "after" photos at the next follow up and that I will likely see my "final" result at about 18 months post, but that even five years down the road I will see positive changes to my nose! It's crazy how much it changes over time but I assume I will love it even more, given how natural it looks now.
- I may purchase CicaSolution Silicone Scar Stick, as recommended by Elizabethian. She said it's great for incision scars. Dr. MarkTaylor told me that massaging it will cause it to fade But that anything with silicone is great for scar healing so I can try it if I want to. I can't seem to find if it's available in Canada so I'm thinking of ordering it on Amazon. Has anyone used anything like this?
- I still tape almost every night and love how my nose isn't as swollen when I wake up. The mornings I wake up without tape on my nose it's definitely fatter haha
- Tip is continuing to even out. I sleep on both sides and my back. Just letting the healing do its thing
- I still find that alcohol, high sodium, and heat cause excess swelling
- My nose is a little runny at times and i'm not sure if this drip is normal post-rhinoplasty or if it's due to the freezing cold weather
- I can breathe great!!!!
- Tip is still pretty hard, but less numb and a little more squishy
That's all that comes to mind now. All in all the pictures look very similar to my 2 month update but I do notice that my tip doesn't appear to be as long as then
Let me know if you have any questions and happy researching/healing to all of you as well !!

3 months post w/ pictures
Just a quick overview:
- I don't obsess over my nose anymore. I don't stare in the mirror or take a million selfies of my profile / 3/4 / frontal. I'm really learning to love it and even my close friends/family have commented on the improvements. They claim that every day it looks smaller and smaller! (Who doesn't like to hear that LOL)
- I saw my surgeon a week ago for a follow up and he was so happy with the way it's healing. He told me to massage my incision for it to c
