Hey All,
I've received many messages asking for an update on my nose and an uncontoured picture.
I love my nose and other than an issue in the earlier months (I will not yet discuss) all has been great. I love the shape and the way my nose now fits my face. Nobody has every suspected that I have had a rhinoplasty other than immediate family and people are shocked when I reveal I have actually undergone surgery.
I don't plan to update until after the 2 year mark and I am trying to reply to all messages as quickly as possible but have become slightly overwhelmed so please bear with me as I try to get back to all of you.
Again, I have not contoured my nose so please don't ask for further makeup free pictures as it looks the same.

I would like to start by thanking you all for the love and support I have received, it's been overwhelming and I am grateful beyond world. I am sorry it took so long for me to post pictures but I really wanted time to adjust to my new nose before I shared it with you all, I hope you understand.
I am currently 1.5 months post-op and very happy with my results. My only concern being my nostrils are somewhat uneven with one being bigger and rounder than the other but this is something that is almost impossible for others to notice unless I mention it. I will discuss with Dr. Oelbrandt at my catchup consultation (29th may) about what can be done. It's not a major concern but I feel as though it'll give me peace of mind.

Post-Op (Late Update)
Waking up in my recovery room felt a little surreal. It felt like I just dosed off but apparent I'd been down for 3 hours. The nurse was so sweet she kept telling my how pretty I was and was intrigued by my curly hair lol. I looked in the mirror I it all just felt real, I looked exactly the same but just bandaged up. I was a little dizzy but nothing major just a bit of stumbling but overall I knew exactly where I was and what had just happened. The nurse came to check on me a brought me Coke and a waffle (delicious). I didn't see Dr O after surgery which was a bit weird but I'm guessing maybe he was busy with another patient. I'm heading back to Singelberg today to have my post op. After looking at my nostrils in my hotel mirror the look a bit taught probably from the rim graph which it feels like he's done. I would have love to speak to him after for him to explain to me what exactly he had done and how it went but I guess I can do that today. Day 1 post-op barely any bruising just slight discolouration under my eyes. I've been taking my arnica for a few days before surgery so hopefully this is the worse it gets.
Bruising and swelling came around day 3 and lasted until day 8/9. It started with swollen black eyes and descended down to my cheeks, it wasn't the worst but I was quite bad. Arnica definitely helps!!! After initially removing my cast I was shocked, my nose was lopsided and although I panicked like crazy on the inside, I stayed optimistic and continued icing multiple times a day... It's so important!
I returned to work 14 days post-op and no one really noticed as the swelling was almost completely gone but my nose was definitely still swollen. Overall I experienced no pain, only discomfort from the tightness of the splint, other than that I was completely pain free.
