finally! - Atlanta, GA

So today I saw Dr. Dejoseph. He said my nose looks great and he along with staff were more excited than me! He said my nose was perfect and profile is exceptional! I'm so happy! I will see him again in 12 months. I love my results and completely trust Dr. Dejoseph. As far as my healing process: he said my nose will only look better as the swelling continues to go down and the nose continues to take shape. Sometimes I still have a little swelling in the mornings and when I drink alcohol, which is not often. I wear my glasses at night when I'm home from work and have not had issues with indentions but initially I did not start wearing my glasses till after 4 or 5 months. I am so happy I did this. No one knows about my surgery except my mom. People know there is something different but can't figure out what. I received compliments before but now, i get tons of compliments on how pretty I am even from complete strangers. It's amazing what happens when your facial features have balance. My confidence has soared...I can't stop looking at my face! I absolutely LOVE IT!! Thanks Dr. Dejoseph!

So I had my 6 week appointment on November 14th! Dr. Dejoseph says nose looks great! Perfect! He Loves my profile....Still some swelling. He says it's going to really look great after 1 year when the swelling is gone.....it's really been a confidence booster! And looks so Natural. I take pictures of myself all the time! The one thing I was paranoid about was my upturned tip. This is no longer an issue! Tip dropped after about 2 weeks!!! Next appointment in March(6 months).
Healing Process
So I am no longer taking Arnica. Just trying to eat as healthy as possible. Back on my multivitamins...no more sleeping elevated....currently, I only use the Saline Nasal Spray a couple times a day to keep nose clean(dr. Said to keep this up)....ohh yes! I do use the Biore strips for my nose once a week! Also I wear contacts lenses during the day and glasses at night, but I haven't started wearing my glasses again since the surgery. I think I'm going to wait till after 6 months just to be in the safe side. Don't want any indentions on this $7000+ nose:) so glasses can wait!
Has anyone been able to tell!??
Remember, I told no one about my procedure!
So far the only person that was able to tell was my mom. She says my nose isn't flat anymore! She likes it. One of my friends ask me when a group of us were out if I had surgery on my nose....I said no!!....and the other friend said it looks like I just contoured....of course, I went with it:):)

Well this is my new nose! I am so happy and wish I would have done this a long time ago! Dr. DeJoseph gave me the same nose but a smaller version, just as I ask!! I wanted my nose to still look natural while keeping my ethnic appearance. I have a bridge now which is something that I'm going to definitely have to get used to, before that the area was flat:) The bridge really makes other features more striking(lips, smile, eyes and cheek bones)....my tip is more refined and not as bulbous as before and my nostrils/nose doesn't spread as much when I smile! The left side is still a little swollen along with the tip. Only cut was placed on the columella, so no scars!! I have 1 more week off work so I will spend time getting use to my new nose. I can't believe this nose is mine! My next appointment is in 6 weeks November, but I will also post more pics this weekend with make up on!
