Going back for small revision

Hello everyone so it's been a year and a half since my rhinoplasty and those of you have that have taken the time to actually read through my journey, know about a dent on the left side of my nose that had been driving me insane lol. I still have it and finally decided to email my surgeon and he being the awesome surgeon that he is agreed to fix it and even the surgeons on realself agreed it is something that can be easily corrected. So my surgeon will be taking cartilage from my ear to fill in the dent. I am planning on going to TJ September 6th, getting the surgery on the 7th and returning back home on the 8th. I will have internal stitches inside of my nose that will dissolve and doctor said he will instruct me on how to remove the small stitches from my ear.

Just another pic

Just so amazed at how much my nose has changed in these past months. Swelling is GONE on my nose but the only thing I still feel is a little numbing on the left side of my lip I guess due to the chin implant. I catch myself constantly checking my face and I must say I am in love with every angle finally!!!! No more having to pose on my best side for pictures lol. Every day I thank god that I did my research and found this excellent surgeon and of course the wonderful people that I have met on realself.

8 months Post-Op

Just a quick update! Time flies I can't believe I am already 8 months post-op and couldn't be happier. My nose has definitely changed for the better. Dr. Blancas is amazing and his secretary still keeps in touch with me here and there.
