Wow I cannot believe it's been a year since my surgery. I'm happy with my nose. I love no longer being a mouth breather and I am enjoying having an improved sense of smell and taste. I swear my nose is still subtly changing. I used to read reviews about people saying the exact same thing and thought yeah right but now I'm a believer. In the beginning I saw such little change. If you're not happy with your results and arw in the beginning stages, like even 6 months post op, hang in there because changes still occur!

6 months post op
I can't believe 6 months has already passed! Time seemed to progress in slow motion shortly after my surgery but wow now it's flying! I'm very happy with my results. I think my nose looks as if I was born with it.
I must admit I was very skeptical early post op and didn't even like my nose until 5 months post op. I'm finally seeing how unrealistic I was about the entire process. I expected to come out of surgery and immediately see and love my results. This is usually never the case especially if you had an open rhinoplasty with medical issues.
I also thought one just walked into a surgeon's office and provided a picture of a nose and bam, that's what you got! Obviously I now realize how absolutely ridiculous this sounds! I understand how a good rhinoplasty should look natural and balance one's facial features without distracting from what makes a face beautifully unique.
I'm now thankful that my surgeon didn't listen completely to me and give me a nose that just would not look right on me. He is a hand surgeon as well and very particular.
My breathing has greatly improved but my allergies are in overdrive at the moment. I love no longer being a mouth breather!!!!
I would totally do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Wow! It's amazing to see the difference between two months post-op and six months post op. Gives us who are still in the healing process a lot to look forward to! Thanks for sharing, your nose looks absolutely beautiful.
I agree!! Incredible the change between 2/3 months and now :) I'm excited for the rest of the healing :) All the best and you look gorgeous [RS bleep]
Thank you so much! It's crazy how much change takes place over a few months.
It looks gorgeous, your tip has refined so much, so cute!
Thanks!! I hated my old tip soooo much!
You look so beautiful with this nose! happy for you girl.
Thank you so so much!!!

Thank you! That swelling was no joke.

I have to say I'm happy with my results....finally! I can breathe better and I'm happy with the way my nose is looking. I still have swelling that goes and comes but for the most part, my nose is looking better.
I still have some numbness in my tip and still am very gentle with my nose when washing my face. I really like being able to breathe better but of course allergy season has arrived so I'm stuffy most days :(
It's honestly taken 5 months to like my nose. I really was afraid that a revision was in my future. This healing process has been a slow go but thankfully one with a good result.
Looking back, I think the paralysis of analysis was what kept me feeling discouraged. I constantly looked in the mirror and drove myself crazy. When life threw some more pressing issues at me, I kind of stopped looking at my nose. I was forced to put my nose on the back burner and you know what? I'm happy with it!
I know it's hard not to feel down if your results aren't quite "good" yet but hang in there!

You're swelling has really gone down. I'm so glad you like it, because you look great!
It's very cute Disney Princess like! I think it looks great and very natural too. I'm glad you're starting to enjoy your new look :)
Thank you thank you!!!!
You look great and even better you feel happy! :)
Thank you! It's nice to feel happy for sure.
Yay, I am so happy to see your update! Your nose looks GREAT and so perfect for your face! And it's a dramatic difference! This is a good lesson and encouragment for all who are waiting months to see some positive results (unlike others who see results in a month). Swelling really does hide your final outcome. Again, I am really happy for you and you look gorg!
Thank you!!! You are so sweet!! In the beginning, I never imagined I would really even "like" my nose. It goes to show patience and time do help, especially if you had an open surgery accompanied by medical procedures.
Very elegant nose for your beautiful face! Happy for you girl. Happy spring!
Oh thank you!!! Thank you for all your kind words and encouragement throughout this journey!
