My goal is an overall thinner nose from bridge to tip - 2 months post op - California, CA

Had my 6 month check up today. Tip is still slightly tender, firm and swollen. the indentation on right side is slowly going away as my tip swelling goes down. I still have a slight 3/4 view bump on each side. On my 3 month check the dr said it should resolve by 6 months but today he said give it up to 12 because my bridge is still tender and healing. At 3 months he said he could perform a quick procedure to get rid of the bump again for free at the 6 month mark, but since I'm still healing I'll wait it out. He is against a steroid shot to reduce swelling since the body will do the work in due time.
I've noticed that recently the swelling diminished a lot where my tip meets my bridge so it gives a nice shape to my otherwise straight bridge. I've also noticed that my tip had dropped a bit and incision is virtually invisible.
Overall very happy! The best is not thinking about which is a good angle when I'm taking a photo :) it took a bit to forget it is no longer a problem.

Had my 2 month post op visit today and all is well. Still swollen in bridge and tip. Bridge is also still a bit numb at the top and bottom parts. Tip is also quite hard which means it is still healing, especially since my tip was seen together. Nose is tender and hurts to move it. Dr assures me my small residual 3/4 bump and a tiny bridge bump are just swelling. I've noticed the biggest reduction in swelling in the past 3 weeks. I have a small divot on my right tip which is due to tip swelling so that should get better by the next mon or two. Saw my before pic and couldn't believe how different it is. So easy to forget! Still, no one has noticed and my friend looked at the before and afters in disbelief. All in all, very happy!
