Dr. Alessi is a master - Rhinoplasty . Beverly Hills, CA

I have been sleeping more upright lately and I think that may really be helping to reduce the swelling in my nose. That plus it's just about seven weeks post surgery. It is slowly becoming finer. I love it.

It would be easier to see the results if I didn't wish to remain anonymous, but obviously that's not the case.

These photos were taken around six weeks after surgery, give or take a few days. The tip area is still very swollen. Sleeping upright certainly helps with the swelling, but not with getting a decent night's sleep, although I think I've recently worked out a better system. I am still very pleased with the outcome and know I will be even happier once the swelling of the tip goes down. I really did not want a significant change in the shape of my nose. Dr. Alessi made it smaller but kept it's character, which is just what I wanted. He has a high level of expertise, is wise, passionate and compassionate, and a nice guy to boot. I am looking forward to my next follow up with him in a few weeks. BTW, these were all taken without makeup, sometimes just after rolling out of bed, or still in bed! One of these days I will have to try a little harder to dazzle. I am not so good with make up. And my pores need help. These damn iphones pick up on everything.
