Septo-Rhinoplasty and Mentoplasty with Liposuction

Long time no post! I accidentally opened this app and had a handful of messages and comments from the last couple years that I haven’t been on - sorry! I thought it might be helpful to post a fully healed review and share my thoughts.
I knew going into getting my nose done that I would be getting a lot of work done, and that I may need a refinement surgery to perfect some things. I can definitely breathe better, but still have a deviated septum. My nostrils evened out a bit, but are still a source of insecurity for me even after a few years. The tip of my nose is also different on each side, but my nostrils and tip were wonky before my nose job too.
I’m very happy with my chin implant and lipo though! Some days I feel like my chin is too big, but it’s really not. I’ve gained some weight since I was 20 lol, but I still don’t have the sole chin I had before.
All in all, I don’t regret any of what I did. I will definitely be getting my tip and nostrils looked at once all of this Covid craziness is more under control / when I have the money.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

It's so hard to believe that my surgery was already two months ago (tomorrow)! I had my eight week post-op appointment with my surgeon yesterday morning, so I have a little to update on.
I'm still so so so happy with my results! My nose is itty bitty and I have some of my old dimpling in my chin, but no butt chin! The incisions are starting to lighten up but they're still pretty visible. And my nostrils are still very wonky, lol.
So at my appointment yesterday, we were supposed to take progress pictures but I literally rolled out of bed and went in... so they nicely let me postpone progress pictures until next month haha.
The tip of my nose is very swollen so I've been taping it before bed every night for the last month. Dr Henderson decided that a steroid injection would help with the swelling a little bit. The actual steroid shot didn't hurt, but the two shots on either side of the tip to numb my nose afterwards were terrible! Hopefully I won't have to do that again...
As much as I do love my new nose, I'm extremely self conscious about these nostrils. One looks like it's collapsed inwards and the other is like a black hole it's so big. It's pretty visible from the front and from the sides they look like two halves of two different noses. I hope they heal better on their own so I don't have to get another surgery to correct them in a year.
On to my chin, I really like how it and the liposuction have healed. No more uneven butt chin, no more dimples in it like a fried egg (lol), and no huge double chin. I'm not sure if it's still swollen, but I like it so much more than how it was before.
All in all, I'm loving how I'm looking after two months and I have no regrets about either of the surgeries I had done! I hope this next year flies by so I can see my final results before I know it! :)

This has been the quickest month of my life! My surgery was June 27th and today is July 28th, so yesterday made it a whole one month since the big day!

Everything has gone very smoothly for me with this whole thing. I barely bruised or swelled at the beginning, my tip is dropping beautifully, and I just look like a normal girl now! Only gotta wait for my skin to clear up lol.

I had a post-op appointment on July 21st with Dr Henderson and she was very pleased with how I'm healing. The incisions are both very red so she gave me some scar gel and scar tape to try to help them heal better. My nostrils are so incredibly uneven too which drives me NUTS but she said it's all swelling and to give it a few months. I also have no feeling and my nerves aren't back together yet on my left side, so I look like Shrek when he tries to smile hahaha! Despite all that, I'm feeling more beautiful and confident than I ever have before!

But let's get real, plastic surgery is not beautiful all the time. I've had the raunchiest boogies I've ever seen in my life, I'm still swollen and uneven, and sometimes my face is in so much pain I can't help but cry. I knew I'd be swollen for up to a year, but I wasn't prepared for how gross healing would be and how emotional I'd get. I know it'll all be worth it when it's healed, and even now it's already worth it, but some days are harder than others.

I'm SO happy I went through with not only my septo-rhinoplasty, but also with the chin implant and especially the submental liposuction! I couldn't be happier with my first month's results!!!
