Hi again! I didn't see your May comments till now! So it seems we are very much on the same page as we heal. Awesome! Yes mine looks very bulbous too-- My doc had me wrap it for 3 mos post op and said I didn't have to anymore. Yet he gave me more tape so not sure why but I do use it now n then when it seems really swelled. He also gave me nose stint because I have the same thing-- I use q-tips to pick my nose. LOL!! Just this morning I could fit my pinky up my right nostril but my left is still tight. Do you have the nasal stints? If not ask the doc for a pair-- they help. Enjoy!!!

Oh Hello Gorgeous! Yes-- I was asked to tell my story but been so busy. I should be able to now that I am taking a mini vacay. Your nose looks softer than your first picture-- I am experiencing the same thing. I am 90 days post-op; either it has come down a bit or I'm getting used to it. Also, no one recognizes I had a nose job even tho to me it seems obvious. All my life I'd look in the mirror and never see my nostils-- now I look and whoa! But I took some pics of myself and it really doesn't look so strikingly different than what I looked like before but definately better. Funny how that is. In the end, I am happy I did it. I had a "tough girl" nose before and I sort of liked that-- now it's "cuter" which I had to get used to. As time goes on (I was told it could take 18 months post-op) the swelling comes down and it feels more and more like "me". At 33-- your nose WILL definately transform in time and I am certain you will be very, very happy. You look adorable!!

DaToplsLonely-- Thank you so much for your post! I hope you are feeling well and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You look gorgeous before and after. I am in a similar predicament-- 1 month post-op of a revision-- 20 years older than you and freakin out about looking like a whoville character-- but your post gives me hope. I too had a hanging columela (whatever) and told doc to give a SLIGHT lift but it seems way over lifted. The tip is still hard so I'm hoping that's just the swelling and it will come down. Thanks again for sharing!

You look so beautiful-- before and after-- what's great is that your nose was pretty before just a tad too much-- now its perfect for you. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! I had a revision from a previous botch job over 30 years ago! I noticed that your "new nose" is lifted a bit-- which is what I am currently experiencing with mine but I'm a little freaked out because it seems SO lifted and SO obvious. People who see me on a regular basis have taken a few double takes but have not said anything and I've stayed quiet but I feel like a Whoville character. My SO says it's all in my head and my doc said once the swelling reduces the tip should lower a bit. So like you, I'm not 100% pleased but I guess I can't make judgement for another few months. I have so little patience.
