I've had rhinoplasty back in 2001 but due to the lack of experience with african noses, my surgeon recommended a one size fits all silicone implant which I rejected, and ended up with just my bridge being reshaped and the tip was left undone. I figured maybe that could work and was somewhat satisfied with the results, but about 4 years ago I noticed how bulbous my tip became over the years and a deformity started to appear on the right side of my tip. It was time to consider a revision but since it's almost impossible to find a surgeon who specializes in african rhinoplasty in Canada I decided to look in the US, and after some thorough research my choice fell on Dr. Boahene in Baltimore. So I'm one day pre-op and I will update as I go along.

Did you have your surgery? How did it go? I hope you're healing well so far and that everything went great.

Happy recovery. I've read his profile (Boahene) and website and it looks like you were in good hands. Best.

So far so good

The surgery experience was great with all the staff at the surgery center. Their bedside manner is remarkable. I'm feeling good already a few hours after leaving the clinic. Probably won't be using those pain killers I purchased. We'll see in the following days. Ohh, and I also had some fat transfered to my cheeks.

Lol keep those pain pills handy. You will be surprised how pain can kick in and out after surgery. Good luck with your recovery :-)

Cast is getting off tomorrow

My main concern at this point is the swelling on my cheeks. Apparently fat transfer swelling won't go down before 3 months.

Your face could also be more swollen from the rhino itself, I remember my face always swelling up like a chipmunk.
Best of luck tomorrow, please keep us posted!
