One year post up update!

First of all, I'm so sorry for being away for so long!! It's now a year since my operation, and I really feel I owe you guys a one year update. If any of you that followed me are still here, lol.
I'm still very happy with my nose. It might sound like a cliche, but it has change my life. Being able to go a day without being insecure about in what angle people look at me is a feeling I can't remember I've had before my operation. I feel I have a more soft look now, and it fits my personality more than my old nose.
With that said, you can never be 100% pleased, can you? I still like my left side better, my nose looks more cuter and upturned from the left in my opinion. I also feel that I have a bit too much nostril-show. Especially the right side. And I also feel my columella has dropped too much the last 6 months. I emailed this to Grigoryants. He said it could be the last swelling (the swelling goes downwards). I still feel I have good and bad nose-days. Is this possible after 1 year post op?
My breathing has been odd. The left "airway" feels too open. It makes a "loud" nose when I breathe, so I cover half of this nostril with tape every night. Now it's become a habit, so I bring my tape everywhere I go, lol.
Feel free to ask questions, I'm going to be more online from now!

Almost 2 months post op

I was going to make a 2 months update that would be the 25th of March, but it's now I got the time:)

I've decided to change my status to "worth it". The reason why I didn't do this before is because a lot can happen post op. Now that it's been 2 months I feel nothing really bad can happen to it. (Hope so at least!) I am really happy with my results, but I hope the tip will shrink and become a bit more defined from the front. I like one side a bit better that the other (I prefer the left side) which I also did before my surgery. Do you like one of the sides better that the other?

It's so lovely not feel like hiding my nose anymore! Before I didn't let anyone see me in profile, and it was so exhausting to always plan everything around my nose..where to sit, where to stand.. Not anymore!!!

I stopped using saline spray, and I tape maybe once a week, when I feel like waking up with a hint of a tinier nose and if I don't tape;)

It's still tender some places.
A question for you that have had surgery: Did you see any changes in your nose after 2 months? If so- what changed?

Thanks again for all your supportive comments!:)

3 weeks post op, and compare swelling

Just wanted to do a 3 weeks post, hope you're interested! I'm so incredibly happy with my result!! It feels unreal.. I've been holding back a little, because I know it can change, and ofcourse it still can. I just hope the changes will be for the better and not the other way around!

I've started to sleep normally again (not elevated), and I can absolutely see this affect the swelling. My tip is very round these days. I've seen it more defined, so I guess it's swelling.

I've added one side by side picture for you to compare the swelling. The left side is 5 days post op (the day after cast off), and the one on the right is 15-18 days post op. You can see how it changed,right?? So for you who deals with swelling, it will get better!

I don't have a lot more to update actually, if you have any questions feel free to ask :)

Actually I have one for you: When did you start to exercise again? Like weightlifting and running?

And also: What do you think it's the difference between my left and right side? (if you think there's any).
