Rhinoplasty Scheduled After 6+ Years of Research and Wavering! - Atlanta, GA

Thanks! Yes, at this point I am curious if it's the filler making it look so straight, or if it is just straightening out with the swelling going down. I guess I'll find out after the filler dissolves eventually! I'll post some profile pics soon. I do wish it was shorter, but overall it is better than before. My husband reminds me that perhaps if it was shorter I'd think it was too short for my face and to stop assuming. I have a long face, so I can see how a nose that might be considered a cute short nose might actually look bad on me. So, instead of imagining that a short nose would be better, when in fact it might be worse, I am appreciating it where it's at now. I would be devastated if I felt my nose looked too short, because I know that building up a nose is much harder than bringing down the size. So, I find comfort in knowing that if I ever do choose to still make it smaller it's easily possible. I'd hate to feel like my nose got butchered and over -reduced and needing a much more complicated revision to build it back up. I've read several doctors who say that nose surgery is often a two-step process, and that that approach is better than an overly aggressive first attempt. I don't think I'll need a second surgery at the end of the day, but if so, I still have a good nose structure to make that relatively uncomplicated.

Veryy true! I would rather it be too big than too little. That was my fear going in, that I would have too drastic of a deprojection or rotation, making it obvious I had something done. I have often thought that about my nose, too, since it had so many things that needed to be addressed in surgery. Perhaps it would require two surgeries to address the secondary issues once the other ones are fixed and healed. How long before your filler dissolves?

Thanks! Hoping it'll last 6 months - 1 year+ in the nose area (since nose doesn't really move much so it lasts longer)
