2 months post op
Hello Real Selfers, just wanted to give a little update. Its been 2 months since my surgery and things have been good. I love my nose and overall I am still happy with my results. I saw Dr Elam today and told him my concerns. the first is im still very stuffed up. My nose gets very dry and I feel like I can't breath, it's very uncomfortable. He suggested saline spray. Hopefully it helps. Also I still have a small bump on the left side of my nose. It does bother and some days I hate it but overall I love my nose 100times better. I also still have swelling on my tip but i know its still early in my healing stage. Here are some pics. Hope u are all well !
17 day post
I'm 17 days out and my nose is getting more swollen. I'm still happy with the result but my nose is peeling and breaking out which is not fun. Also I am forming a small pump on the left side of the bridge of my nose. It's got me very worried and I hope it goes down. Anyone else expirienced this? Any advice?

Dr. Elam was wonderful and caring. I feel like he listened to all of my concerns and during the surgery process he was very gentle with my face. My bruising was minimal. As far as the staff goes I cannot say enough good things, Jodi, Lupe an the nurses were so nice and comforting during the whole process their support was a huge help. I'm very greatful to of found such a great doctor and i look forward to my final result. I would highly recommend Dr Elam. I already have a friend that will be going to him.
