WORTH IT$5,700
Okay It seems that when I take a picture, either the lighting or something doesnt really show the definition of my nose. From the front the camera makes it look bulbous but its not. I took some side and semi side pics to maybe show you the difference. My nose has gone down quite alot. I really like it. It's not piggish at all. The tip did go down and you cannot see head on into my nostrils anymore. My only problem now is that I was able to pick my nose with my fingers, but my new nose is so small I can only use qtips, I dare not use anything else. I know that sounds gross but its reality. Thats the transformation my nose took. I cant wait to see it at the year anniversary. I'm told it still will go down.

19 days later alot of swelling has gone down, I'm still adjusting to my new nose. It seems so small now, I never knew my nose could be this small. Its amazing. Everything is looking better. Some of my family (the ones that dont know) haven't even noticed it. I guess because its gradually going down. I'm still adding the scar cream because of course I'm taking forever to heal, and the skin on my nose has been crazy. Its been peeling, so I just add an spf facial cream on it, and lightly removed peeling skin with a moistened q-tip. I dont know if its just me or it happens to everyone.

Yeah...so glad you like it now! It does look like the tip dropped. You look great.
NO ONE noticed I had my nose done. If I didn't tell my own mother that I was doing it (she sees me every week and helped with the kids after surgery), she probably wouldn't have been able to tell either :) People will think you look different, but may not be able to tell why. The weird nose skin is totally normal. Mine was like that for a couple of weeks. I didn't use my Clarisonic for 2 months after surgery. (I had a septo too). After I started using it again, my nose is totally normal...or at least as normal as it will get!

Your nose before didn't seem to show a lot of nostril. I think that may be why it seems so drastic. I think it looks gorgeous and very similar to how I'd like mine to turn out. You look like a model, love.

Yes I think so too, I'm so used to not seeing in my nose lol. Each passing day it gets better. Thank you

Did Dr. C ask you how much you wanted your tip to raise? He told me this is one thing he could play with, but I wasn't sure what to say.

He lifted mine slightly but it looks good, I think if he would have lifted it more it would have been too drastic for me. I like the droop because it makes my nose still mine, natural looking. I think its best if you take a pic of the nose you think would look best just so there isn't any confusion with what you want.

Okay it day 11, I gave in, I said I was going to be patient. I've been using arnica cream on my nose for the swelling. So I rested all day and decided to take a nap. Lo and behold I woke up and was going to add some more cream, looked in the mirror and thank the Lord the tip is beginning to come down. I am so happy. Its still fat and wide but its starting to normalize. I heal quite slowly so I am adding some scar zone cream to the stitch area. Its still kinda raw. Scar zone is great, and its inexpensive.

I think your profile looks amazing...not too pigfish at all. Like I wrote you privately...I think you are also so used to having a longer nose, that the space between your tip and lip is a little shocking. I promise promise that your tip will drop...BUT...it can take up to a year! So do your best not to drive yourself crazy or obsess over it weekly. at the least, you need to give it 4-6 months. I'm always here for advice or to talk if you need it :)

Yes, it seems like a big difference to me, my nose seems so short now, like it was hacked away. I just can't wait until this swelling goes down somewhat. I just try not to look at it. Thanks Dolce.

You look great!!!! Don't fret about anything!! It must be weird to see yourself differently..but really, you look fantastic! :D

Personally loving how your nose looks so far. Also, I didn't notice your lovely high cheekbones in the other pics, but they really stand out with your new nose.

I had similar issues with the tip, it looked a bit too elevated during the first week; now 6 weeks later it has come down even more than I wanted...
