I can't believe it's been almost 4 years since I had my nose done. Time flies! I truly don't even remember my old nose, unless I see a picture. I would the surgery again in a heartbeat. I was looking through my maternity pictures (were taken a year ago - I now have a one year old) and some pictures of my baby and I when she was 6 months old, and there were some side profile pictures that made me appreciate my new nose all over again. I would have hated those pictures in the past and thought I would share with people that are considering getting it done. So glad I did it.

Today is exactly 2 months post-op :) I'm adding a few random pictures below from my husband's birthday party this weekend. They are by no means good photography, but I never would have liked these types of pictures before my surgery :)

Omg that party looks so fun!!! Yes, I know what you mean about the side profile in that photo. You look beautiful. Also, is that your little baby in the photos? Just curious because your body is awesome in that little bikini!

I had my 6 week post-op today (it is actually 7 weeks tomorrow) and he said everything is going smoothly. He said my tip is still swollen and there will be more refinement there, but he is happy with the progress. I'll upload a front view I took in my car today since it was requested and I'll upload some better pictures soon as well. I'm not the best at remember to take pictures, but I definitely don't mind people taking mine as much now :)

PS. How long do you think it took for your your smile to be normal? I've read that it's hard to smile and the upper lip can feel numb...your smile looks perfect! :)

Thank you! Yep, that's totally normal. I think it took about 2 weeks for it to come back for me.
