WORTH IT$19,850
Hello everyone, I am 1 year post op and I just wanted to let anyone who is nervous of debating about the procedure know, don't be. It's the best thing I ever did for myself. Find a surgeon that you trust and go for it! My nose is still a little swollen but I honestly don't even think about it anymore. If I hadn't told so many people about my surgery, I don't think anyone would have noticed.

Oh! A funny story I forgot to tell!
Only my nose friends will be able to understand the humiliation of this one!
My last post with all of my side by side before and after selfies I updated from my work computer. I never keep personal stuff on this computer but that night I got lazy and forgot to delete the photos off the desktop. Well, the next morning I was working away and received an email from a (male) superior in my department that said...
"Our desktops have merged. I sent a ticket in to IT. The pics look great btw."
So clearly I was mortified. I cried I laughed so hard and then the real humiliation set in when I realized that the entire IT department had seen my photos and none of them knew I had had work done, until that point. I still laugh when I think about it! No more personal photos on my work computer for me!

Hey Maggie it's so great to hear from you! Im glad you're doing great. Hey I have a small break between my tip and where the hump was. I was wondering if it was normal. I'll be talking to my surgeon about that as well. What a way for your co workers to find out lol. Who cares you look amazing. I really dont mind who knows about my surgery because I think it turned out good so far. I got a msg on fb with a fake profile. And she msged me "haha atleast I dont have a huge nose". I dont know who would do that I have no enemies thay I know of. Well maggie you look amazing girl!! :)

Wow!! Even with the swelling it came out terrific! You look lovely! And the shape fits you so well, like a glove! Hahaha. I'm having the swelling/bruising issues up went through, it is not a walk in the park :/

Oh man, that is pretty funny/embarrassing... but hey! They didn't notice before, so now they know that you at least had really good work done :) Though if I was him I would have just deleted them and not mentioned it, lol. You look great!

You look great - such a lovely, natural result! I'm right there with you with the swelling (at two months). Some days it's okay and some days the tip of my nose is so swollen (sometimes unevenly). I guess we just have to be patient. :)

You look so good!!! You remind me of a young Lisa Marie Presley! I am sure you are so happy! It is so weird how we all look younger with our nose jobs!! I am so happy to look younger especially as my children think I am still in my 20's! Lol!

6 weeks and still so happy!
Hi everyone, I haven't posted in awhile because a) I don't ever think about my nose or the forum anymore. (I've switched my obsessive internet time to Pintrest haha! ) and b) The changes so far have been very subtle so there isn't a ton to update anyway.
I met with my PS this morning, I am going in to my 7th week post surgery and I have zero pain, discomfort, or problems breathing anymore (yay!) and the swelling in my bridge is mostly gone but this stupid tip...it looks just like it did before surgery...if not bigger! My surgeon assured me this morning that the structure of my nose under the swelling is much smaller and more refined than what I see currently, but the bad news is that I have very thick skin for someone of my ethnicity so it could take a full year or longer to see the full results of what my nose will look like. I also have a small break between the bridge of my nose and the tip which is causing a bump that resembles my old bump (just much smaller!) and Dr. Sethna agrees with me that she is not happy with it either but she reassured me that it will go away once the swelling in the tip subsides and if it is still noticeable there are injectable fillers that can fix the problem.
All in all I can say is that I am 100% happy with the results (although they are not drastically different). No one even notices I had anything done...even when I tell them. ha! But the best news is the amount of confidence I have now...I am this new fun person who wears her hair up, and goes to the pool without makeup on, and jumps in front of a camera when she can. Pretty cool stuff ya'll! ;)
