It's been a year and I am SO happy I did this! If you feel like I did about your nose go for it! Beg borrow or steal lol! I'll get some updates pics soon. But I think the swelling in the tip came down more in even in the last few months.
Dr Gallico retired several months after my surgery. I am so thankful I had this done just I time. He's amazing

Dr. Gallico is wonderful! His bedside manner and personality are great! He made me feel at ease and like I was in very capable hands right away! He's a talented artist and sketches your face as well as uses the computer generated imaging. He understand my vision for what my nose should be without me explaining it well at all. He explained how each change would effect other parts of my nose and how to balance that. He took his time. I didn't feel rushed through the consult at all. During my recovery he was so understanding and accommodating that even though medically it was going very well, I was emotionally freaking out. He did everything he could to make me more comfortable and reassure me.

Your new nose is so lovely! You must be very happy with the results... and you're so lucky you got to have the surgery with Dr Gallico before he retired :)))) x
In your comments from a year or so ago, you had mentioned one of your nostrils being infected and dehisced. What did the surgeon do about it and did you have any steroid injections along the way? BTW, your nose looks great!

2.5 months post op

loving my new profile! Having some minor scar tissue issues or swelling (still too soon to tell) in my right nostril. Despite those concerns, runny nose, and diminished sense of smell ... It WAS worth it!
Another thing no one tells you ... When you shorten your nose dramatically, nose hair still grows on what used to be deep inside your nose. So basically it hangs out. Gross. Be prepared to rip
Out with tweezers or trim :o
Nonetheless, STILL would do it again!

Very feminine and natural. Looks like you were born with it. Congratulations!
