My experience was fantastic! Still so happy with my rhinoplasty 6 years later...only wish I had had it done 20 years ago. Dr Portuese is wonderful. He has a great eye for keeping things natural looking. I’d call him an artist as well as a surgeon :)

Star I'm so glad he did a shot for you! I saw a huge improvement after mine and I'm sure you'll be happier afterwards. I still have days where I wake up and have more swelling on one side then the other and I have to laugh because if I didn't know that was normal I would totally freak out! Did he say it would be 6-9 months before the tip is the way it should be? That's what mine said, the wait kills =)

Hi Lillybug
So you got injections too? How did I miss that in your updates? Did they hurt you? And what did you notice after getting them? I noticed already this morning I wasn't as swollen when I got out of bed. That seems to be normal for the last couple months to have swelling in the morning.
I really hope that stubborn area settles down now after the shots. Did your PS suggest doing more down the line?
Have I told you recently that I think your new nose is gorgeous on you :)?

Hi Star, Yes I got one the day my cast came off because I was way more swollen then average. But I wasn't icing as much as I should have so I'm sure that didn't help. I did notice a huge change the next day my bridge came down and so did the tip a little bit. Mine said because I had so much work done on my tip it would be 6-9 months before I really saw much change but it did get much better after the shot. I have my 1 month follow up on June 28th so he may want me to get another because of my excess swelling. It really hurt but I would do it again to speed up the process. Thank you BTW I really love it sucks when there is uneven swelling some days and it looks funny but only I can tell and the next day I'm okay again. I love yours too! Do you feel happier now that you had the shot?

Thank you Lillybug
I do feel a better after the shots. Today I notice that there is less fullness in the skin above the tip giving a slight bit more definition to my nose as a whole.
My PS was just smiling and beaming at my appointment and kept saying he is excited to take my after pictures :) I think he is happy with his own work. hahahaha
This is just such a process! And takes a lot of patience...but SO worth it!!!!

I love following your experience and watching your progress. :)

He should be happy he did a really good job and you look beautiful. I've loved following you as well. It was nice to watch someone go through it and know what to expect.

Wow! Your nose looks perfect!

Thanks :) That is a very close up picture! I will post a couple more where you can see the rest.

Wow Star, you are looking so gorgeous!! Did you find the injections to make a noticeable difference and worth it?

Hi Romes,
I wish I was going to Italy too!!! That would really be wonderful :)
Thank for the comment. Do you notice a difference in my pictures? It's hard for me to tell visually...
The injections definitely have reduced some of the width swelling in the mid area of my nose...and maybe ever so slightly on the bridge. it has only been a week and think it takes 3-4 weeks to really see the results of the shots.
I can see the bony part of my bridge more, and can feel some irregularities with my finger tip...kinda weird.
How are you doing? Are you still happy with your results? And are you still seeing any changes?
xoxo
