I absolutely love my result. The swelling is pretty non-existent at this point and I love the shape it took. It's still a bit up-turned, but I can definitely live with it. I feel like I have a PERFECT nose and am so happy about it. :)

THRILLED with my result. Dr. Motykie is obviously very busy and never spent a lot of time with me during any of our meetings, but he is GOOD at what he does, which is what matters. In the time we did meet, he asked me very good questions and really listened to what I wanted. Plus, his entire staff is so kind, knowledgable, and helpful, it makes up for it. I was INSTANTLY thrilled with my results upon cast removal. I still can't believe it looks so good. Would do it all over again for this result.

6 month update - struggling with swelling

Hey guys,

Thought it was time to give an update as I'm about to hit the 6 month mark!

I've been struggling lately with the swelling in my nose. It's been bad to the point (for about a month or longer) that it's difficult for me to look in the mirror or take a selfie without getting anxious about it.

I keep trying to tell myself that it is just swelling and that it will go down. Although at the 6 month mark, it's really worrying me. I have an appointment to follow up with Dr Motykie in a few weeks and am hoping to maybe get a shot that will help reduce the swelling and have a more defined nose.

Really, I think the issue is the roundness of the tip and a kind of triangular appearance to the bridge.

Today I took some arnica and was having a reasonably "good nose day" so thought I would take some pictures. I guess if I can experience enough changes to have a good nose day, that must mean I am not seeing the final result yet..

I think you're adorable . I really like your nose . I hope the swelling issue gets better soon. It will! When you have grafts added it delays swelling . Within the next couple of months it should get much much better
