Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Using Injections - Beverly Hills, CA

The first photo is the one I took in my car immediate post second round of injections (7.19.13).
The second photo was taken today (8.4.13) - as you can see, as the 6-week period progresses, the appearance changes a bit. The groove on the left side of the photo (right side of my face) is fighting back.

BTW, I noticed a typo in the previous update - obviously, we're still in 2013, not 2014. My second round of injections went well and I am still very happy. The micro-droplet technique takes time to take full effect so I just try to stay positive and just try to be grateful / happy for the progress I already see with my nose. As usual, I came in early to numb. Although I had to wait a little longer this time (before they never ran late but this day seemed like a busy one in the office, note to self: come in on tuesdays not fridays) it ended up working out even better because 45 minutes of numbing cream is much much better than 30 minutes. If before, I felt something during injections, this time I felt absolutely nothing. In fact, next time I am going to come in 45 minutes early - might as well. BTW, I don't think I have addressed the pain issue - for me, there is nothing painful about this process. If there is pain, it lasts a millisecond. I haven't addressed it because I don't pay attention to it at all but I could see how some people could be extra sensitive. I could only advise those to communicate that fear to the nurse / doctor right away and perhaps numb for longer than 30 minutes.
The injections are going very well - Dr. Kotler is a true artist because the day of the injections, the effect seems bigger but then it carefully settles into your nose. I see the real effect the following week and every day there is a subtle change. So, to be able to predict how everything will settle on day 45 is not easy. I trust Dr. Kotler because so far everything has settled in the right places. We are still in the process of creating symmetry and also disguising a bump. I am also doing my homework and as the injection is settling I am trying to understand - what do I like about this? what should I ask for next time? Since we are nearing the final round, there is some room for personal preference - do I want a slope or do I not? I realize how important it is to control the process - you are a paying customer and it is key to know what you want and to communicate it properly. So, I have made my observations and am looking forward to my final round of injections in 6 weeks. I am very satisfied with this process so far. Fingers crossed, almost there!

Mr first injection appointment went well, as planned. Right after the injection, things look improved but did not produce the same dramatic "perfect" result as the saline demo. This is because Dr. Kotler likes layering the injections. I am waiting about 6 weeks for the injected silicone to settle before I go for my second treatment. That said, there is a visible improvement. My nose was a bit blue from injections for three days and after that went away, the effect dissipated just a tiny bit. I am posting pictures from my saline demo as well as a picture immediately following the first injection.
