6 months later and a Quick Revision
My healing journey has been a very stressful one. For the past 6 months my nose has been very stubborn and refused to be small and cute. I had brought up my concerns with my doctor and he told me that he was able to correct them with just basic freezing .
So yesterday i went for my procedure ,and of course everyone in the office was always welcoming and pleasant. The doctor froze my nose with a needle ,which hurt just a little. Within minutes my nose was already numb. I than went into the operating room where he began removing some extra cartilage from one nostril and filed down some the residual bone on my bridge , than some stitches.
Thank god i didn't feel anything but listening to the sound of my bones being scraped and not feeling a thing was almost surreal. The whole procedure took about 45 minutes including 15 minutes of freezing. The doctor put a clear tape on nose for swelling and said to leave it on for 3 days, make sure i slept upright and take some Arnica pills. It honestly felt like i had another complete Rhinoplasty done ,except i was awake for this one. Once i arrived home and the freezing wore off i had the worst headache and it felt like i had been kicked in the nose really hard. But nothing a couple of Tylenol 3s couldn't help.
Today i woke up fine . My nose is very swollen and i look like avatar. But i'm so happy and anxious to see how my nose will look once completely healed. I'm very happy that Dr. Ross agreed to help fix my concerns at no cost. Now lets hope this stubborn nose finally looks like its supposed too!

NaSal valve collapse?
So I know it's only been 3 weeks and do far I don't like how I've been healing . My left nostril is still small and sunken and it looks like I have a big lump inside which almost looks like scar tissue growth which isn't good for healing as it can take up that shape which is making my nose tip look bulbous . Another concern is my bridge . I have lumps on either side which makes my nose look crooked . It looks as though the sides weren't shaved down enough . The doctor told me massage everyday and I have religiously but I almost feel like it's made my nose worse.
My side profile looks fine its just the front view that is bothering me. I'm really stressing but I know I should be patient . I have my first appointmet next week so I'll be definitely be bringing up these concerns . If worse comes t worst than I'll be doing a revision as I'm not happy with it at the moment . Here are one pictures . You decide .
