6 year update
On family / people “noticing”: I regret not being brave enough to just have my face out there in my old updates because the stickers I put to hide my identity are obnoxious and the quality is low, so apologies, but when you’re 24 in a family that thinks plastic surgery is crazy and vain it’s tough and also I really used to be unhappy with how I looked before my surgery so I don’t have a ton of photos from before. Now that I’m 30 I couldn’t care less what my family or anyone has to say about this at all so enjoy the photos. Funny enough, my mom who I love dearly who has made her views on plastic surgery very clear either 1) never noticed, or 2) did notice and decided to never say anything to me. Isn’t that crazy? I was most worried about her reaction and it’s quite literally never been brought up. No one new I meet ever asks if I’ve had a nose job which means it must fit my face great.
Have I had any breathing issues or complications? I just ran my first marathon in life this year and a pretty fast one for a first-timer at that, so no, no breathing issues or snoring to speak of. I breathe great! I don’t consider this a complication but the one thing that I have noticed emerge over the years is that there is a tiny bump of bone that sticks out more juuuussttt slightly on my right side on the bridge of my nose and it casts a shadow in certain lights - I tried to capture it in this update but couldn’t capture it on an iPhone, it’s very subtle. As an observant perfectionist, I notice it, and I think it might just be a piece of bone that wasn’t perfectly shaved down because it may have been missed due to swelling, but quite literally no one notices but me and I’m not sure it bothers me enough to pay to do anything about it anyway. Maybe if I have a stupid amount of money later in life - then again, maybe l’ll care even less.
Would I do anything differently? I think if I made the decision now at this age I would’ve asked for something slightly more chiseled / structured looking, but I still think I look great and I love my decision. At 24 I was afraid to look too different and “done.” This surgery gave me an insane amount of confidence and I don’t have a single regret going through with it, I would do it again in a heartbeat, in every lifetime, etc. My nose was the one facial feature in every single photo I hated, and this completely removed that feeling for the remainder of my 20s and presumably the rest of my life. Dr. Funk, his coordinator, and all the nurses who cared for me treated me incredibly well and I can’t thank them enough.
22 days post-op
Functionally, I am struggling to be patient as the swelling still affects my breathing at times (night, when I exercise, when I'm outside in the heat - I notice it's not back to usual and I can't breathe as well or I breathe heavier, but I'm only 4 weeks out as of yesterday, Sept 5 so I'm trying to be patient). My next followup is next Friday (Sept 13), will update then or that weekend sometime. No pain or anything though.
11 and 12 days post-op (TAPE REMOVAL)
Seriously - so glad I went with my gut and chose Dr. F. It might be luck that I am somebody who usually heals very quickly from things and is healthy, but he is also a fantastic surgeon. I have no regrets.
Here are some before and afters I through together for you. I will take more as time progresses and update, promise!
Provider Review
From my very first consultation all the way up through my recovery so far at a month out, Dr. Funk and his entire team have been nothing but wonderfully professional, informative, kind, and communicative. Leah, Sarah, and the rest of his office team seriously knows their stuff and were all able to provide me extra information, tips, and assistance wherever needed. Dr. Funk himself is an extremely talented surgeon with great bedside manner and is both realistic, competent, and honest with his expectations and work. He obviously has a great team who has been working with him for a very long time, and the whole process from payment to actual surgery to communication about finances, the recovery process, and the results was absolutely seamless. I cannot recommend this provider enough. This is all just the cherry on top of having results I love, that still look like me, and that look amazing. No matter where you are in your decision, Dr. Funk is a great resource and provider you can trust.
