I love my new nose! People actually stop me on the streets just to tell me I have a perfect nose! It's so weird! I forget that I look like this now. I'm really happy and can't wait for the swelling to go away!!

I can't believe you just asked for a discount, and he just gave it to you! Your nostrils look uber even, and he did a great job on the rest of your nose. I was reading your comments, and you had me thinking about how people usually don't ask for super petite noses in fear of looking done. I don't want to think I should have gone smaller afterward. In your profile picture, my PS did the nose of the girl on the most left and in the third row. Her pre-op nose was similar to mine, and he did a drastic change and it looks good! Therefore, I don't doubt his abilities, but I'm afraid of looking botched. Regardless, it can't be worse than my current, right?! Haha.

haha!! that's how I felt, too, during my primary!! I was like, "Well, worst case scenario should still be better than my first nose!" and, it was. Yours will be too. Getting a revision isn't the worst thing in the world; it sucks because it's expensive and tedious, but you don't have any upset feelings about changing something you paid for and hate. It's actually easier than the primary, I think, even though recovery sucked!! I really like the noses of those people on my profile pic--if your surgeon did two of them, you're in great hands!! I recommend going small (which most people don't!), but there are a few people on here where I'm sure you can see where they went conservative and it looks like they need a nose job still. I don't think you'll get botched if those are his skills--I was going to use them as a reference!! Those are great noses and they don't look fake at all. People are worried about looking fake, but the reality is that most people don't think about their own noses at any point during their day, so another person's nose is just not on their radar. My thoughts are that nothing should be done with those other people in mind--they might not always be around! Now, if it's your husband or something, that's totally different! He's gonna see you as much as you see you!! But yeah, no one even notices when you change it--my husband's parents couldn't even tell and we lived with them with my old nose for like 6m while we were sorting out his visa! I recommend coloring your hair or cutting bangs, instead of getting a nose that you won't be happy with, if you're worried about being found out. My time at home translated into getting bored and lightening my hair, which served as a great distractor for friends, who just compliment how the new hair suits you better or something similar. I think that you have the perfect face for a tiny nose!! You will look like a doll afterwards!! I know my big thing when I see faces and profiles has a lot to do with the radix angle of the nose and forehead--it seems like the lower that angle on the face, the better the face looks (women). Keeping that a high radix (esp common after hump removal!) can make the nose look long and the face look drawn. I think your morph looks really nice; the PS you're going to makes great angles there. If you want to see what I mean, look at Dr. ****'s (sent to you in a PM!!) work. I think a lot of people who want conservative find him to be very talented, but that was the look I went for in my first rhino and all I could think was, "Ugh, I'd bfe so much prettier if this wasn't so straight here!" I dno sorry for the ramble!! I'm really into PS because I'm hoping to land a residency in it someday, so I spend countless hours analyzing different procedures and outcomes! I hope yours goes great! You're only 6wks away from a new face :) And, swelling might last a year, but if your PS is good, your new nose swollen will still look better than your old nose!!

Love how it's healing, but ready to have it better already!! Dogs and husbands keep whacking me in the face, which makes healing slow and tedious!! It's like my face has a target on it, or something....or maybe I just never paid attn to how much I get hit in it before now! Well, the tip is pretty swollen and there look like there may be a couple bone calluses still on the bridge causing some bumpiness, but otherwise, it seems great. I'm pleased that the swelling has been fairly symmetrical--enough that it doesn't bother my perfectionist tendencies, anyway. I love going in public, but still not used to not having to hold my head a certain way when I talk to people!! That's going to be awesome, as soon as I get used to it. I almost forget that I had anything done, so it's hard to remember that I don't look funny anymore!! :)
