2 year update!
I recieved an email from realself and thought it was a good idea to update my story. It's been 2 years and life has been good. I learned since I had the procedure done that appearance isn't everything but having my nose done made me more confident in my own skin. I haven't had any problems since the surgery. I encourage anyone who is debating on going through with it to do so.

And I feel great! I love my new nose! It is everything I expected to be and more. The tip is getting the feeling back. And I have no scars. Which is what I was worried about that people could tell I had surgery but they cant! I am so much more confident I dont have to put my head down anymore when I spot someone out of the corner of my eye looking at me from the side.

The 4th picture is a little bit blurry, but from the 3rd one it looks great!!! Very pretty on you! Glad to hear that it turned out as you wanted it to. Did you use something to put on your nose so that it wouldn't leave a scar? Also, did anyone notice the change or did you get any questions about it? Thx for sharing :)

Thanks for letting me know. I took that one off and put up a more clear picture. No I didnt use anything for the scaring. It wasn't crazy noticeable that people knew I had my nose done, which is good cause I didnt want it to be too noticeable where people know I had surgury right off the bat. But when I pointed out my nose they saw a major change. It's reduced in size, lifted, and the bump is gone! I had all sorts of questions. Like if it hurt, if it still hurts..

Your nose looks great! I didn't know that plastic surgeons worked out of that hospital. If it helps, it took about 12 months to get full feeling back in my nose. Most of the feeling came back around 6-7 months and it was just around the columella that I had remaining numbness.

stunning nose that you've got there.. what is the implant that your dr. used?
January 10, 2013
Thank you. I don't think they put any implant in my nose. Just used the cartilage, reshaped, and reduced.

Wow great results!! I am getting a rhinoplasty very soon and I hope mine turns out as great as yours. Your old nose looks alot like mine now. I was just wondering did they just take the hump off? or did they do something to the tip as well?

My initial cause to get rhinoplastry was just to get the bump off but when Dr. Gikas gave me my consultation, he had a very good eye and prospective at my face. He explained that my nose was too big for my face and the tip dipped low. I agreed 100 percent. So not only did he take the bump off, he reduced the size of my nose, and lifted the tip of the nose.
