WORTH IT$4,000
I am now 2 months post-op. The nose looks very natural. Most people don't even notice I've had anything done. The smell is now gone, I think it was caused by packing residue that stayed inside my nose after the cast was removed. It came out after cleaning and blowing my nose regularly. I only hope that there are no more foreign objects stuck up there :)
I updated with a few photos from a few days ago.
I have noticed it is still uncomfortable for me to wear sunglasses on my nose, so I try to avoid doing that as much as possible.

I have only now gotten around to posting photos from my 2 weeks post op mark. I have spoken with the doc about the smell that's coming out of my nose. He said it's bacteria that's stuck to the place where the turbines were, and that there's nothing to do except clean clean clean, so that's what I'm doing.
A work friend have told me that she cannot recall how I looked before the surgery, so that's a good sign.
I still have a lot of swelling, especially in the tip area, and I feel it's uneven. I hope it will even out over the recovery period.

Oh and I am at 3 weeks and the swelling has improved a lot over just the last week! I also had uneven swelling along the sides of my nose which has seemed to resolve itself :) hope your doing great and the smell goes away soon xoxo

I really love my nose :)
I am now at 3 weeks post op (the photos are a little old) and there is still swelling. Some days more and some days less, I'm told the fluctuation in swelling is normal so I shouldn't worry.
The smell is a little frustrating. I can't smell it 90% of the time (perhaps I have gotten used to it), so I have to ask my boyfriend which is a little inconvenient, but he is being a good sport :)

I'm now 10 days post op. I still am not allowed to blow my nose, I only clean my nose with q-tips dipped in 3% peroxide, to avoid having the gross smell people often complain about after Rhinoplasty. My results look natural, even though swelling is slightly uneven on both sides of the nose. The profile is so cute! I never before imagined I could look better in profile than from the front.
Since I can't blow my nose but am highly allergic to dust the whole not being able to blow my nose bit has been hard on me. I have contacted my doctor about this and he said it's OK to try and blow my nose by blocking one nostril and blowing gently through the other.
So far people have not noticed a significant change in my appearance. I will upload more photos later.

I love your tip...I kinda wish my PS had lifted mine a little more...
i too want to blow my nose!! I am day 9 and actually can breathe about 80%...also cleaning a few times a day. In the shower I try to breathe water into my nose and gently breathe it out...it helps. xoxo
Isn't feeling better about your profile such a relief? :))

I am uncomfortable with sunglasses too...they seem to leave marks that last for at least 2 days and they feel unusually heavy. I am exactly 2 months post op today :) I don't think my nose is looking much different that at 1 month...oh well.
Hope you are pleased with your cute nose :)
