Almost 3 months postop!!!

Okay, so I am horrible! I know it's been forever since I've updated & Im so sorry to all those that were interested in seeing my progress! It's a little more difficult to update once you get used to your new self! Overall, I would say I am 85% satisfied with my new nose. Its much, much better than what I had before and I love feeling like my nose is not the first thing people notice when they meet me! It's a wonderful feeling =) However there still are some minor things I am not completely satisfied with. My left-angled views still seem to have a slight bump and almost a curved appearance, which stems from the line of my slight hump down to a slight hanging-bulby tip. This will probably be way easier to understand from the pictures! It doesn't bother me a whole lot, because I am satisfied with both of my profile views. Its just a funny thing that happens from an angle I guess. I still probably am experiencing some swelling so maybe it will get better with time.

I am basically 100% satisfied with my right side from all angles. It has a curved out look which I love. I never thought I would like any bit of a "scooped out" appearance after my surgery but it turns out I love it!! So feminine & cute. I always leaned towards a "straight nose" before. But once you lose the huge hump you'll be surprised to find the more feminine and small the better. My personal opinion anyways. :)

On a side note: all the stuff with worrying about my friends and what people say could not have gone better!!! Barely anyone has mentioned my nose, not sure if they notice or not. But it has been great. Everyone I've told has been super supportive and everything has went smoothly.

Even though I am not 100% satisfied with my new nose, I don't blame Dr. Shah for the problems. I requested a natural look rather than tiny/scooped out the whole time! & it does seem that he is a pretty conservative Doctor. But like someone said, I would much rather be underdone than overdone! At my one month post op Skype appt Dr. Shah himself said he considered my nose to be just "okay." I have not followed up yet for my next two month appt. but I do feel that he would be willing to follow-up with in-office procedures or whatever else until we were both completely satisfied with my nose. However, Im not sure if I will risk any changes to my new nose which I am (basically) happy with. Also, I realize that everyone's nose is different, especially from different angles, and its pretty unlikely that any cosmetic surgeon is going to give you a nose you find zero flaws with! From this point I will just keep seeing how my nose changes as my swelling continues to go down. :) Thanks for all the support! I really couldn't have gone through with it without real self!
