30 Year Old Wide Nose Rhinoplasty - Chicago, IL

UPDATED FROM diazn1183
7 days post

Update, cast off one week later

WORTH IT$9,000
Update: on Sunday I stopped taking the meds, made me drowsy and I wasn't even in pain. Monday I went back to work with the cast, I looked like a freak with the cast, dealing with my kids and husband's schedule was a little crazy, but not bad at all. I was still feeling drowsy for some reason. I did take 3 hr naps on Mon and Tues (never had before, that was weird)
This morning I went to my post op, I didn't even see the Dr, which was fine, but I was a little disappointed. I got the cast off and the stiches removed. I was a little worried, I it was painful for many. It was a breeze! I was in and out in 20 mnts. The results are really drastic, but so far I'm happy, I'm a little swollen on the tip, but a little make up will do the trick.

I had a great previous experience with the doctor with the non surgegica procedure, I know he was great and I read lots of great reviews on him. I also know he is very busy doctor, so my first consultation was very fast, lasted about 5 minutes, I debated on weather to see other doctors, the office called me multiple times, which I was a little uncomfortable with. I ended up gettint it 3 weeks after my consultation , my experience was great, there is no complaints, I had to call them and ask a few questions, the girl/assistant was awesome. I don't regret it one bit, I notice a difference already, I have my 1 week f/u in 3 days. I stopped taking the meds today, I felt too drowsy, I also went back to work today. I can't wait for my f/u

Wow! Your nose looks absolutely beautiful! What a difference! And you have no swelling or bruising?!
I had a little dot of reddish on the 3rd day, that's it, a little swollen on the tip, the RN told me it would get a little swollen in the next few days, we'll see.
I can see the improved definition in your bridge already.
Did you get any type of implants put in your nose?
Very helpful review. Could show us some more pictures? Please
ORIGINAL POST

I had a wide nose, I knew I would need my bridge...

I had a wide nose, I knew I would need my bridge broken, I had learned to like my nose, but as I got older I didn't want to regret not getting it. I had the non surgical procedure in the past, but due to time and the cost,I figured to just go with the real thing. I knew the doctor I wanted, but I was nervous he didn't have many ethnic nose in his gallery. I went by the results in the gallery.

Thank you so much for sharing here on RealSelf. It looks like you had a pretty nice nose before, so I can only imagine how stunning you'll be with the refinement. Please let us know how the big reveal goes when your cast is removed.
I just updated the pics. Thanks =)
Thanks for sharing with us. I thought your before nose was very nice! Looking forward to your updates and wishing you a fast and easy recovery.
Thanks, I'm all good. A little stuffy, but other than that all good.
Your nose was gorgeous before. Can't wait to see your "after pictures!!" :)
No way!! I had to use lots of make up to contour it, make can do magic, but thanks.
