College Student Gets the New Nose She Has Been Dreaming of for Half Her Life - Beverly Hills, CA

I am 20 years old, and have disliked my nose for most of my life. I already love my new nose and am so happy I had the surgery done! The first few days were pretty painful, but with Dr. Kotler's tubes I was able to breathe the first day which was very nice. One of my side-effects was that I got a huge bruise on the inside of my top lip, which caused it to be fat and swollen for about a week. It hurt to chew solid food for about 5 days, and I wasn't able to fully smile or laugh without discomfort for about two weeks following the surgery. Other than some tenderness on the bridge and tip, my nose itself didn't hurt that much. Dr. Kotler did a beautiful job and I don't regret it for a second!
Tubes? Where were those when I had my rhinoplasty, lol! That sounds like a brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing your experience on RealSelf. We'd love to see your before and after photos if you feel comfortable sharing them.
