29 Year Old Female, in Need of Revision Rhinoplasty - Birmingham, AL

Results of my 2nd rhinoplasty

Today is the 2 week anniversary of my surgery. I had an apt with Dr. Core yesterday for a follow up and he saw that there is still some swelling in the tip and on the sides of my nose. Naturally since it has only been 2 weeks. Well even with all the swelling we all realized that the nose is not exactly straight. It veers to the left slightly as it did before. We discussed that my nose was a 2 before (on a scale from 1 to 10) he said a minus 2 (potato potato), either way it was bad. It is now an 8. Not perfectly happy but it is a huge improvement. Not highly noticeable unless someone stared straight at me for a good second. As stated I am still swollen and the final results are not settled yet. The man did a lot of work on my nose internally so I am actually glad he is the surgeon that worked on my nose. He has a good reputation in the town where I reside and he is very pleasant. I am still anxiously waiting for the final results and hopefully the slight tilt to the left will decrease as the swelling will continue to subside. Will keep updating as changes occur and I will eventually post pictures.

This is the 11th day after my revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Core and I feel great. I had my splints removed on the 7th day but the cast remained on my face for another week. I hope it will come off at the end of the second week. As stated this surgery was a revision rhinoplasty and some major work was performed to fix my nose. At first my nose was very swollen and it looked abnormally large and I didn't not think I would like it. Well of course it was swollen after the doctor worked on it for over 7 hrs. Well I lack patience so I was scared I would end up with a huge nose. Now the swelling has receded significantly and even though I still have the cast on my nose and cannot really see it, I can see an enormous improvement in the shape of my tip and have received many compliments from individuals that know me very well. The swelling will continue to go down for the next 6 to 8 months and I will keep posting updates in the meantime and I will also post some before and after pictures as soon as possible.
