    I think it looks fantastic! I can see a BIG difference from the first post op photos you posted and the new ones from your vacation! I am 2 weeks behind you, just 1 month post op now. I notice that I am very swollen when I wake up and very swollen after being out and about most of the day (especially in the heat). I, too, feel like my nose isn't quite as small as I imagined but have hope that it will come down enough that I'll be satisfied with the result. My dr is very conservative, as am I..so I know it will not be a huge change, but enough to give me confidence:)
    Again..great results so far!!!

    I do not agree with the docs, NaturalMe......I am also Italian and also asked for a straight nose.....it is my opinion that a scooped nose would have changed too much of the Italian in us, don't you think? I don't know many Italian girls without a "strong" nose and I don't think it makes us look less feminine. You were beautiful before and even more beautiful now!!!! Like you I can definitely see the changes my dr made and when I show someone the befores they are amazed at how much has changed, but unless I show someone they do not know I had anything done. I want to think that's a sign of a really good dr :)
    You still look like you, but a better version of you :)
    Honestly, your after pictures were what I showed my doctor since our before noses were so similar!! I thought even at the 1 month mark that your results were ideal for our Italian features. I can't wait to see your changes after the shots kicks in!
    If you'd like, message me your email address and I will send you my before and after photos....I don't have a review on here.
    Take Care:)

    Noticing any differences from the shots yet?! I hope so!!!
    I am 1 month post op and am noticing the same thing as you...actually I think our before and after photos are pretty similar!! I can see a small bump on my bridge and I'm really hoping its just swelling. It was much more pronounced the day I had my cast off but I can still see it and it's driving me crazy!! I go for my appt on Monday and I'm praying he tells me it's just persistent swelling!!

    Hey Girl....so today was my cast removal and wow, you are right..huge potato! LOL! Thankfully after reading so many stories on here that I need to give it time but I can see the next few weeks will definitely be hard for me. The profile is great, but so much swelling in the front:( I'm am so glad you are happy with your results now! Thank you so much for sharing...reading your last few updates again after getting home really made me relax about what I just saw in the mirrow;)
