So the swelling has gone down some and my nose is looking good, I still have tip swelling but it has definitely improved and my nose has become more symmetrical. My husband and I agree that my nose looks like it should have looked had I gone to a really good surgeon the first time. My bridge looks much more like my original bridge but better. It's like I'm back to my original nose but better.

Quick update
Barbie81August 21, 2014
It's been three weeks since surgery and I'm starting to feel a lot more confident with my new nose. The swelling is going down but slowly, it's not like you wake up and notice a huge change but it's almost like you wake up and notice that you look better today than you did yesterday. My nostrils look more even now, the bridge looks more defined, the tip is definitely still hard and swollen but it is looking better. The swelling in the tip is especially apparent in the 3/4 profile view, it's my weirdest looking angle right now, especially on the left side, but it is getting better. My rib is still swollen and sore at times, but getting better. Overall, I am so pleased with Dr. Boahene's work and highly recommend him.

Thank you for the update!
I was wondering if you would mind posting a pic of the rib harvest scar?
I can't find much about that other than sometimes it's really good and others it's depressed

Congrats on your surgery. I would love to see photos if you could PM me. I've send you an email. I'm considering Boahene for a revision.

Looking forward to seeing before/after. So happy to hear that you are pleased with the outcome

Hi Barbie thanks for updating
Did you ask for a scooped bridge?
Do you have the pictures of the imaging?
Thank you!
August 13, 2014
No, I didn't necessarily ask for that, but I am really happy with the profile. I do think the left side looks more scooped but He did have to do more work on that side, it really is looking better everyday as the swelling improves. No, I don't have the imaging, sorry :)

Did he tell you what his surgical plan was? I love how he fixed the bone between your eyes. I wonder what he did to it. I want the same done to mine

There was an uneven graft on the bridge that didn't spread all the way, he got rid of that and then built it up slightly with rib.
August 13, 2014
Oh did he put rib on the sides or only on top of the nose? Sorry for so many questions lol

Thank you for answering all my questions! Hope to see an update from you soon :)

I would love to see your before and after photos since I am considering Dr. Boahene for
a revision rhinoplasty with a rib graft.

Congrats! is your nose similar to the morphs you guys agreed on?
August 14, 2014
I believe so, I must admit I didn't care too much about the morphs because computer skills don't equal surgical skills, so I moreso cared about the changes he was saying he wanted to make and not really the picture morphs. However, I think they do look similar.
