So today I met with Dr. Del Vecchio for our first follow up since he removed everything (I was sick and canceled our 3 month apt)
He touched and moved and we agreed on my two concerns. 1. He noticed my scar on the right side is not healing as quick as my left. He said that if in 3 months it's not good, we will talk about possibly opening and closing again. Now, I'm not scared by that. I'm actually glad he thinks about perfecting what he did and not just letting me walk out the door. Not sure that it'll be needed, but it does assure me I chose the right doctor. 2., we agreed that the size of my nose after surgery was smaller than it is now, which is why he put Botox to begin with because he wanted as less stretching as possible( smiling, yawning, etc) but that only lasted some time. And regarding that, he implied he'll fix, if it becomes an issue where it expands more.
Honestly, my first concern out of the two is the scarring. The size is already smaller than before and it was like a "need" for me to have a smaller nose... If I go smaller it'll be considered a "want"... And sometimes obsessing over it and wanting to "perfect" it could make it worst.
Finally, we both agreed on my nostrils being a little different in size, but that would not be something to change in the future. It's not a big difference and it was already there before surgery, so it's not something I'll worry about.
I'll be back to see him in February!

So I found the bottom pic of my old nose last night... Boy, I had forgotten how huge it was! And I made sure to send this picture to my friends that were saying " it's not a big difference".. Ahhhhh 100% it is a huge difference lol! It could be smaller, but like I've said a million times, anything slightly better than before is good enough! It's slightly a different angle, but I'm sure you get the point. And it's still swollen.

You look so great! It's a huge difference and the new shape suits you perfectly in my opinion! I hope you're happy.

Hi again!
So I couldn't stand looking at that little thing in my nose and decided to put pressure on it to see if it pops or what..and it did pop! a little nasty! but it's finally gone. and as for the little piece of what looks like threat I'm seeing, I now see where it starts and where it ends, so I guess he did leave something really small, but it's there.

Ouch! That popping business sounds painful. Was it a pimple? The angles of your nose that you posted yesterday or not exactly straight on, but from what I see your tip looks nice. It doesn't look big. Keep in mind you are just at 4 months so you still have a ways to go. I still have my money on you being even happier with your nose when it's done healing. You're a cutie anyway though! Good to hear from you dear.

I guess it was a pimple lol A really big one, even a little blood came out but cleaned it and it was gone! As for the pictures, I guess it's misleading when it comes to showing the size of my nose because I tighten my lips which makes it look slimmer than what it is. I do like my tip, despite the difference in nostrils, the rest of my nose is not being affected, like one side is not dented in or anything. But my nose is wider than what those pics show. I'll post new ones. And yea, I know it's only been 4 months! can't wait for it to be a year lol
