Hey guys, just wanted to provide a quick update to my nose. Its been a stressful month and my swelling has not been kind. That and acne has been fighting for a place on my nose to make it look even bigger. This is what my nose looks like as I am writing this update. It isnt so bad but this is not what it looks like a on a good day. I consider this a bad day photo but it really isn't as bad as it was in the previous month. Its getting better. I wish I could get another kenalog injection in my nose right now but I'm thousands of miles away from Dr. Yoo.

Day 60
disclosure91March 26, 2016
Officially hit the 2 month mark. Nose is still pretty swollen. I don't have much of an opinion of it as it keeps fluctuating back and forth in swelling. So far I'm pretty indifferent and its still too round looking some days. What's odd is that when I was one month out, the profile actually looked a bit more defined when the tip was still up. Ever since it fully dropped, the overall nose and tip has been really round looking. I've included a picture of my nose on February 12th as well to give you a picture of what my nose looked like at its smallest.. I guess this is when the kenalog was still fully working before it died out a few weeks ago. Whats strange is that the February 12th pic frontal was actually still very swollen but seemed small on profile. Now the profile on the 60th day looks fat and round but the tip is actually smaller than the Feb 12th pic. Funny how that works.

I like where it's heading! It's obviously a painfully slow process but I just flipped back and forth between your before and most recent pictures and I have to say I can see where it's heading and it looks very well done. I now have no doubt that I will go with Dr. Yoo because I am so pleased with your progress. I see your pictures and I feel hopeful for the first time that I can have a great outcome too.
Of course this is me being encouraging to you because I am not the one with the swollen nose 60 days in. I am sure when I am seeing the constant fluctuations it will be maddening and discouraging at times but seeing the change between your before and afters, hopefully you can see how great it's coming along as well!
Thanks so much for sharing as always!

For sure. There are good days and bad days but when you have a good day it feels more often than not.. a GREAT day. When the nose is at its smallest, it is in its most attractive state. It gives you an idea of whats to come. I just hope that the tip gets a lot smaller and more refined.

Same here. I am almost 4 month post op. My nose is still swollen. Not much difference compared to few weeks ago. Just need to wait few more months to see the difference.

Thanks for posting! Is there an update you could share?

i will update soon. just got a new job so i havent had time to take pictures. and the stress of the new job is kind of making my nose swell up and down. its all over the place right now.

Hihi do you have any new pictures recently? It's been 4months now . How is your swelling recovered ? Honestly I don't think it's a good result compared with his other patients

swelling is too linear. days where i have the most rest and the least stress is when its at its best. other days its still swollen but you still look pretty normal. thank you for your honesty but i'm not even done healing. i've been looking different every month so far.

And what did Doctor say about your swelling ? Any solution for this back and forth situation ?
May 18, 2016
swelling is linear. something he told me prior to surgery. im thousands of miles away so i can't go back for a steroid shot at the moment but it would help immensely.

Kenalog dying out?
disclosure91March 19, 2016
This week has been a weird one. I was going to update again at 60 days and I still plan on doing so but I think the kenalog injection has been dying off. Normally my nose swelling is pretty sporadic and fickle with certain times of the day where its at its biggest and smallest. I one day noticed about a week and a half ago that it swelled up but even with taping it doesnt go down. My nose looks really bulbous/round again and my coworkers have now noticed and mention that I look different from 2 weeks ago when they saw me. Its drawing unnecessary attention to me. It really sucks that I don't have access to Dr. Yoo to get another steroid injection.
