Awe! You loon beautiful! Great job!
You are too sweet! Thank you so much!!! Nice to her a positive comment on here! You made my day!! :)
Look*
Do you remember what your first year of recovery was like after this revision? Curious if you were swollen for a while and when you really saw your final result?
The first 3 months were the worst swelling. The first year was a bit hard because it was my third surgery so the swelling took a long time to go down especially at the top where cartilage was placed. Is this your first surgery on your nose?
I meant Tip! I noticed a little change every few months. Final result I was told would be about 2 years.
No this is my third too (first two as a teenager and now 20 years later). I’m 8 months post op and it’s really hard being patient. I definitely have some swelling, but it’s uneven swelling so difficult to tell if the little bumps are grafts poking through. Yours looks beautiful, by the way!
Aww...I totally understand the stage you are at! And the swelling never goes down evenly from what I was told. I don't feel that the heat helps either (don't where you live)? But Florida is so hot and I still get swollen outside. Thank you for the compliment...that is really sweet of you! It's not Sophia Vergara but it will do. lol! Hang in there and at least you can wear a mask right now! You are so lucky. I went around looking like Mike Tyson for months :)
Hahaha! Omg you actually look like Sofia, really stunning! I know, total silver lining of the pandemic - not to be totally vain, but I’m so grateful for the masks right now in more ways than one! Thank you for the responses - and again, you look amazing - well worth the wait!
Omg you are the best!!! Way Too kind!!! Thank you!! Yes you should be for real, masks are your bestie! I actually didn't mind when I had the cast and wanted to keep it on. Lol. I am totally vain! I'll admit it! And I honestly think I take forever to heal and still hope there is some bit of swelling left in certain areas. But overall was a definite improvement.
Just saw this comment - I think I’m taking forever to heal too - trying to be patient! Thanks again for your feedback - makes me feel more confident about my recovery time!

Hi , thank you for your detailed review , can you share your anesthesia experience please I know he does sedation and not general , how was that ?
Hello. I had a great experience with anesthesia. No nausea or other common side effects. I believe I had propofol but thy can tell you for sure. :) I had a great doctor for the anesthesia and actually knew him from the hospital I used to wok at.
Thanks for your reply , very appreciated

Straight on view and side view Pre-Operatively

I am completely blown away that your implant looks just like the sized implant that my 2nd dr Put in my nose... the uneven nostrils are identical. I’m convinced these drs have a one dimensional view for every rhinoplasty they perform. High square bridge with an extended semi-pinched tip...glad your implant worked for your facial structure as your pics are really cute! I’m curious as to the function of your nose. How’s your breathing.
Thank you! Those preoperative straight on view pictures were after my second rhinoplasty and no implant was used, he just removed too much cartilage and made it look square and upturned. Now after my third revision with Dr. Steiger, in the postoperative pics there is ear cartilage in the tip. And yes now my breathing is good! :)
