Going on 5 months and I still love my results. From the my surgery until now Dr. J has and is continuing to take care of me to make sure my progress is basically perfect!

April 2024-July2024: I’ve had numerous follow up appts for a little opening I had which is now closed and my scares are barely noticeable, Dr. J did not just continue to tell me to put scar cream he went above and beyond and I’ve had a few laser treatments on my scares as I think my tissue was a little more complex while healing, He even added some silver nitrate which really helped with a little bump I had from the stitching :) . Each session I left with release because my progress kept looking better.

August 2024: I still use the scar cream provided every day/ night. And keep it extra protected during the summer heat. As of now my next appt is in September 2024.

Emotional Changes/ differences: I want to specify that my journey was a trust the process, I knew it was going to look good but still nervous again because it was my face. Five months later I can really see a difference and how softer my features look, I no longer have that heavy insecurity of smiling (and my nostrils would widen) if anything I’m smiling a lot more these days. I’m no longer nervous to face frontal towards someone. This has really been a life changer for me and not to toot my own horn but since the swelling has gone down I’ve gotten the most random compliments from random ppl telling me “You’re beautiful “ or “your pretty” (no one needs outside validation of course but I’ve definitely noticed a difference in ppl approaching me or complimenting me as I was not complimented like that before especially back to back, or it can just be my confidence lol). I’m even more confident taking pictures. This surgery has literally changed a lot for me.

-I also want to specify that when you get surgery you will literally look for flaws, I absolutely am in love with my nose but there are times(not too often) where I want an even “smaller” nose or I think not enough was taken off then I an hour later I love it again. So pls allow Dr. J to do what he does best and he’ll give you an accurate diagnosis. I’m so glad he went with taking off Large. I thought it would be too much but it’s great! Also keep in mind with any surgery you will have scars in my case I have very minimal to the point where no one can see unless they are so close they’re breathing in my skin. That how unnoticeable the scars are.


IN CONCLUSION I still love my results, I will attempt to do an update in sept or a 1 yr. Update.

Oh my gosh this is such a helpful review! Absolutely agree - Dr J is so so good!

My pre-op nose was extremely similar to yours, and I’m reading your review literally nodding my head along hahahaha!

We had veryyyy similar experiences - I’m also so happy I opted not to do a tipplasty and managed to hang on to my black African nose look - but just have a more feminine and refined version without the flaring!

I’m so so happy that you love your results too - and your comment about no longer being afraid to smile or be physically close face-front to someone IS SO REAL!!! I used to be soooo scared! I tell people my alarplasty was literally life transformative for me and it sounds dramatic but it’s the truth !

And 100% agree… 2+ years on I occasionally still have thoughts of hmmm should I have gone smaller, hmmm should I have done my tip etc etc but I think it’s just because honestly plastic surgery can be addictive! Im so happy I trusted Dr J to make the right size amendments for my nostrils to still suit my tip and my face (I have a wider face, so too small nostrils would look horrendous on me!).

I hope the small bump on your nose is healing well with the treatments, and I’m looking forward to reading your next review!

Update! 04/25/24

Went to my follow up on 04/25/24 and informed dr. J of my open wound / bump he consoled me that this happened due to over moisture and was a hypergradual excess skin. He kindly cut it and added silver nitrate. I was a bit nervous because it was so dark - nearly a black…he warned me it’ll be dark then will fade. Literally not even 3 days later the black scab began to heal and come off. My other side is starting to look normal again i can’t wait until it’s fully healed. I was not able to wear a full face of makeup because I did not want to infect the wound when it was open so I’m excited that it was fixed.

When looking back at pics I see a huge difference in how feminine my features & face looks now, I feel confident looking someone back in the face and not wondering if they are seeing my nose first before my other amazing features. I love how I still have a black nose, Just an FYI, my mother came to visit me in April and she could not tell that I had any work done on my nose (keep in mind this is only 1 month post op lol) no one can tell unless I point it out, not even my long term gf of 3 yrs new I had work done & when I pointed it out she said, “I knew something was diff but couldn’t pinpoint it”

I feel absolutely confident & gorgeous! Going on 2 months on May 1st 2024 and still not healed but I’m happy with my results..this has felt like the longest journey, being that my bday is in May this was pretty much a gift to myself, I’ll try to do an update if I need to on my next follow up or within 4-6month update with more pictures.

Wow you look great. Honestly the best possible outcome for plastic surgery. Natural and a huge improvement while not being noticeable.
