I apologize for freaking out so much at the beginning. This is how my nose looks now, it's a bit swollen when I wake up every morning but it goes down throughout the day. I would say I am satisfied with the results. One thing I really don't like is that my nose is totally stiff now :( I wasn't aware of this before having it done, but I can not do a pig nose or push it down like squidward anymore hahaha. It will not move. Kinda sad about that. The scar didn't heal too well on my left side, theres a raised bump but I'll post pictures of that later. The tip is not as defined as I'd like from the front, so I'll wait out the year and if it's still not quite to my liking then I'll get a revision with a different surgeon. All in all though I am confident in how it looks and no longer feel self conscious which is really the most important thing!

Glad you're doing ok!
Your nose is hard from all the grafts.
Did you tip plunge downwards when smiling before?

It used to dip down a little bit, yes. Made it kind of look like a witch nose. It doesn't anymore :)

I noticed about 30 reviews pop up in google in the last week. it's very creepy. people risk their lives and base it on these reviews which arent even real. Happy to hear you are alright.

How do you feel about the width? I also had surgery with him. Mine didn't really narrow back to its original size. It's still much wider than my old nose and my tip is wider too. Seeing Dr. Davis in the fall for revision consult. x

It looks wider in photos than in person, and it still swells up a bit everyday after sleeping. I am happy with the width, it's not much wider than it was originally, but originally I found it to be too narrow anyway.

Hey! I'm glad to hear you are more satisfied with your nose now. I'm also a Canadian looking to go to a Seattle doctor for a rhinoplasty-- is there any particular reason you decided against Dr. Portuese, or did you just like Dr. Naficy more? Thanks.

Oh my god, the swelling has suddenly started to go down and I went from having a potato for a nose to something I can leave the house with. I actually went out in public for the first time today and with a bit of contouring with makeup to hide the wideness, it actually looks good. I unfortunately managed to drop a bag of frozen pineapple on my face at the grocery store. Luckily it didn't hit my nose too hard, but the plastic cut my face -_-
I'm still hoping the tip and bridge become a lot smaller and defined like they used to be, but I start school tomorrow and I'm not too embarrassed about how it looks right now. The stitches are still really visible on the septum, but all the other stitches around my nostrils fell out and left me seamless. I can not even find where the incision was when I look for it, which is crazy for only being day 9. I scar very easily and bright red, so I am very impressed. The septum scar will be visible for a while, but I'm not worried. So yeah, everything's looking up now and I'm starting to feel confident again in Dr. Naficy's skills :) I've been messaged by a patient of his who has great results as well and was told that she was in the same boat as me, finding some bad reviews and getting scared, but she said it's turning out really beautifully and Dr. Naficy doesn't actually charge for his time for a revision, only for the anesthesiologist and some other minor stuff. So there's some conflicting information, but I'd rather give him the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, it's looking good and if it continues on this path then I really apologize for anything negative I've said.

P.S I've had absolutely zero sense of taste since the surgery, and it all just came back suddenly today! :')

Girl, my nose was so swollen when I took the cast off I felt like Shrek! Lol. I was almost in tears on the way home. But it does get better, it's just shocking to see your own face going through those changes. The healing process is so strange, but you chose the right surgeon.:-)
