28y - 1y 7m post op - Open Rhinoplasty - Chicago, IL

Still all is well for me. There is almost no more swelling in the morning (as far as I can see). I feel 90% positive about my nose now and this is, what counts most. I was worried about spending so much money on myself, but after everything, it was one of the best things I ever did in my life for myself.

I have a little scartissue inside my nose and after blowing my nose I still check for "stuck" snot, because of the new inside shape, but otherwise nothing to complain. If I would be able to make another trip to Chicago I might would ask for another shave down on my left side (in office), but that is just me being super critical.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Otherwise happy healing everyone!

After some new reviews I was reminded, that I maybe should update mine as well. There aren't any news. All is well. I still got some morning swelling, but it is just minimal. I tried to take some pictures to compare for you, but I hardly see it in the pictures myself. I don't have to say how unflattering the morning picture is just after waking up... but otherwise I can't show you.

I had a big event just a while ago, which I was a little nervous about! I went to my 10-years out of school reunion. Of course I was thinking: "Will they notice?". I can tell you - nobody did or at least nobody said anything! I did got some compliments from peoplee, who didn't bat an eye on me back in school. So maybe? I definitely felt very confident about myself and for that - all goals reached.

Still doing Bio-Oil on my scars. Not sure it has a real effect, but I might as well try.

Happy healing everyone!

I wanted to make an update long ago, but was sick and had some bad pimples :P So I wasn't up for taking any new pictures (or I forgot to do it...) Anyway! Here is a little update. I like my nose like 80% of the time, but still have some "bad" nose days. I really like my profile and my front, but not so happy about the 3/4 angle (I said that before...) I still get swelling in the morning, but it goes away quickly (probably because I sleep on my stomach). Also I am still working on my scars with Bio-Oil. They are slightly visible, but that is okay for me. Until today nobody suspects anything who doesn't know, because I told that person. Which I call a great success :) If you have any question feel free to ask or message me! Happy healing everyone.
