Almost 2.5 years later.........
Two and a half (almost) years post. Not much to see at all. Nothing anyone who isn't me wouldn't notice---just some residual swelling resolution.

you look great! has it gotten smaller? or it seems the same in length etc?

Ok good!! Length scares me re shrinking. Since I was overshortened (on purpose gamato from my doctor who determined on his own my nose was too long for my face) I am looking into revision to add length and derotate etc. so I stare at everyone's pictures to see how Length changes over the years. I have no septum. Boo. You look great! Thank you for continuing to update. And love the hair!

You look great! How are your nostril grafts? I have lots of nostril show 3 month post op aft primary and hoping it will improve as swelling goes down but researching nostril graft procedure just in case i will need it. Not that many people write about it in their reviews so if you could share your expeience i would be very grateful. I saw someone asked you before and if you replied her in a private message, perhaps you can copy and paste it to me if you still have it. Thank you

The nostril grafts were very VERY swollen for the first few months. If you scroll through my earlier pics, when I was healing--like maybe a month out--you can see the alar rim grafts coming out of the nostril a little. It FREAKED. ME. OUTTTTTT. I mean, I was worried.
The swelling went down very slowly and gradually which was maddening. The tip is the last swelling to resolve and it took forever.
My first surgery destroyed the lower third of my nose. The ala completely retracted. The columella hung low. It was severe.
I knew right away after the first surgery. When they took away too much tissue it' was obvious by looking at my nostrils and it didn't get better until this revision fixed it

I am so so SO happy for you! You went through so much, and now it's behind you. You are so beautiful! Just as you should be. You gave me courage to go through with my revision, and taught me that we have to be our own advocates. Thank you!

TWO YEARS AGO TODAY
Today I'm exactly 2 years out from my revision. I'm posting some Before/Afters. One is of my profile--to show subtle changes over a two year period (most notably, tip dropping into place and columellar scar resolution) the other is a a front facing before-and-after that I think shows the extent of the damage and difficulty of the repair.

Thanks for the update! You're looking great. Did Dr. Ghavami charge for the minor touch up you had?

Your surgeon skills show what can be achieved in the right hands. It separates the bad, average and very skilled surgeons apart. He's done an amazing job and you would never know you had surgery which is amazing. Your nose looks very pretty.
