Rhinoplasty postponed (claravis update w pics)

it looks great! and for it to look THAT good RIGHT after cast removal, sheesh, i think it's going to be everything you wanted when the swelling goes down :) im so excited for you !!!!!!!!!! the profile looks awesome

Ahhhh yes, it's certainly for the birds!!! But you're right, maybe the postponement is meant to be a lesson in patience for me. Time does fly~ but I think the year since I started RealSelf has felt as if it passed so slow since I've been dealing with the Claravis side effects throughout and each month I've been ordered to stay on it longer is one month added to having to wait even longer for my rhino! It just felt like an endless chain of disappointment from having to cancel the original surgery date to getting the red light 3x on finishing my meds! I'm so happy with the results of the meds and my new skin but I also haven't seen the sun in over a year and I miss it, and I'm also ready for the dry skin and moodiness to go away.. But I'm just being a cry baby because I don't regret the Claravis at all, only wish I would have got my nose done first :) Thanks for your comment and compliment! I looked through your profile and you are looking gorgeous! It's obvious that there's still swelling, but c'mon, you're not even a month post-op yet!!! It's bound to refine daily and you're already looking great to me so it can only get better from here! The one thing I am most concerned about for myself reflects what you were saying about not recognizing yourself or missing your old face/nose. I can't imagine missing mine for too long seeing as how I've been altering it with my hands in the mirror for years but it is an obsession of ours prior to the 'fixing' so I guess that contributes to the psycho effect we go thru in our heads after? I want nothing short of love for my new look and that high expectation makes me so anxious!!!

thanks girl! i just looked over your profile and at your pictures - our noses definitely have (HAD) some things in common! ;) by this time you already have your surgery underway or completed and that's so awesome!!! i'm jealous! good luck! it will be beautiful and i will surely be creeping on your after photos :)

Thanks for the advice and encouragement!

your results are great! you look awesome! so pretty ! congrats :)
