Was Almost Frightened Off, but So Glad I Did the Fraxel Now!

AMAZED!! Giant joke nose is no more!

I'm very sorry to hear what you went through :(

I do think your tip looked better in the before picture, although it may get better with time. Have you tried taping it? Taping my nose did wonders for my very swollen tip after my surgery.

You're still a pretty woman though :) I hope it gets better for you and if you do decide on a revision I'd suggest a different doctor.

Hi Susy,

For me it was a difficult experience, but it was worth it. I now have the nose which I should have been born with, rather than the one I ended up with.

I didn't anticipate how difficult it'd be, but if I could go back, I'd still do it.

My advice is to do your research before you go ahead and see someone who specializes in noses, NOT just a general plastic surgeon.

Good luck, whatever you choose!

Thanks :)

Still more swollen in front than I'd like and it doesn't feel normal yet.. But it's getting there and I can see a difference now, which is what I was hoping for!

**edit -meant to say glad I'm not the only one with the experience of being swollen in the front of my nose! Not that others have to suffer it too...I wouldn't wish this swelling on anyone!

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's still very swollen from the front! My tip is extremely swollen too - as are the insides of my nostrils and it doesn't feel like *my* nose yet. I can see the tops part of my nose is less swollen now...from what I hear the tip is the slowest to heal. And it feels strange!

When I got the cast off I was THRILLED, I loved it, but the splint would have held in the swelling as by that very evening it grew amazingly swollen. If it eventually looks like it first did when the splint came off I'll be a very happy girl. Until then - I wait!

Mt Hill - I went to Dr Marcells in Sydney.
