WORTH IT$17,500
I had surgery done on the July 19th 2011 with Dr. Sam Rizk because I suffered from puffy bags under my eyes which always made me look tired and older (not a good look for a 23 year old)and had a open rhinoplasty to remove the hump off my nose, slightly lift the tip, and narrow the tip of my nose since its very bulbous.
But coming out of surgery idk how I feel about it yet I feel like my nose is still too big for my face then again its too soon to tell, I haven't even had my cast off yet I might just be paranoid lol. Hopefully my nose will go down and get smaller and my eyes even out since I feel like one eye is a little bit more hollow then the other one but like I said its only been a week since surgery so we'll see how it goes.
-Ill keep you guys posted my on recovery and upload post-op pics soon

-I Finally got my cast off and so far I loveeee my new nose its much much better than what it was before. He lifted the tip and shorten my profile slightly and narrowed my nose (since it was too bulbous). My nose is however very swollen especially at the tip so Ill have to wait the next few months before I can determine its final shape but so far so good and for my nose to look even better according to him once the swelling starts to go down well I can't wait. He had to give me a kenalog shot on my tip since I have very thick oily skin to minimize scarring on my nose so it can shrink over time to its new frame.
-As for my lower lids I talked to him about my concern ( my right lower lid is a little bit more hollow then the left one) on my lower lids been slightly uneven but he said thats normal, with any surgery one will find imperfections here and there at the beginning but give it time and it will even out. I hope he's right because it's bothering me. How long should I wait before I should start seeing a difference of my lower lids evening out? what should I do in the meantime? should I ice my left one only so it can even out with the right one? etc.
-I'm going back in 6 weeks for a 2nd follow up appointment

is the picture with you wearing the white shirt a post-op picture? If it is, your nose definitely looks a lot smaller. I had the surgery July 19th as well and my cast has been off for 2 days already (monday). i feel like the front of my nose kind of looks the same... but he said i'm really swollen still so we will see...

No, these are all before pics, when you place the arrow over my pictures it'll give you a description of what I wrote. I'll upload new pictures soon when I get the chance.

Hello, i think you have already been very pretty before the surgeries. I would also love to see post op pictures. :-)

Wow, your eyes look great! Your nose is still swollen but i can see it is nicely refined.

One eye is a little bit more hollow then the other one though :-/ i'll try to take better pics at different angles so you can see. Hopefully it'll even out its bothering me. And I look the side view of my nose but the front view is so big and swollen but he said that's normal and it'll go down

-So far it has been 10 days since my surgery and I'm doing well. When I was changing the tape on my nose I noticed that the swelling on my nose is slowly but surely going down giving it a nice refined look, I'm very pleased on how my nose is processing.
- As for my lower lid blepharoplasty I haven't seen any changes yet which is frustrating me. I've been using the wrong term, my one eye isn't more hollow but instead meant to say is that I feel there's a small indent on the side of my lower lid towards my inner corner of my eye next to my nose. While the other lower lid looks nice and evened out. I'm getting worried he might have taken a little too much fat from one eye compared to the other. But well see how it goes. I just really want both my lids to match up and even out
