Rasping on my right side

So I had an appointment with Dr. Shah last week, they took some pictures and as usual everyone was super nice and caring. Dr. Shah explained to me that he didn't liked how my right side healed and that he wants to rasp the bone down a little bit. To tell you the truth I tought it was just swollen I been so patient and I have been really trying to not even think about my nose anymore that to me is not even noticeable, however I had a few family members that have mention about the bump, and I just simply tell them that my final results are going to be in a year. Now that Dr. Shah told me that he wants to perform a Rasp I feel quite nervous I don't know what to think, I really trust him and I know he wants the best for my nose but I got a bit traumatized with the recovery, with all the crazy bleeding episodes I had, is all I keep on thinking about. He explained is a small procedure and he will be doing it under local anesthesia, he mention that recovery time will be just a few days, and is a procedure he will perform in his office. Wow!!! Has anyone had this done??

I am happy to read some updates from you :) I was a interested to hear about your "bump" and what he would say about it. I think I have the same on both sides... When would he do the rasp? I can understand, that you worry about recovery since you had these intensive nosebleeds. I guess the inside of your nose is very sensitive.

I am sorry to hear about the rasping having to be done, but your nose does look great! I am going to have surgery with Dr. Shah on June 4th and I was wondering how long he had you taping after the cast removal?

Nice, he is actually a really good doctor and he has super gentle hands I didn't bruised as much after my surgery, I actually still tape here and there only at night depending on my diet. He told me to tape as necessary. Good luck on your surgery. You are in realla good hands

I can totally understand your concerns of not wanting to experience recovery again, especially given you are still recovering from the first major procedure. You're so brave, and I'm so happy for you that you'll get closer to your ideal! Xo

Hello everyone! ! Is been so long since my last update, I been so busy however recovery has been so good with me! My nose still feels quite weird but I'm so happy with my results, my tip still really hard and quite uneven and still swollen, I still have a small bump in my right side, which I really don't mind. Life is back to normal. I had a follow-up appointment with Dr. Shah last week but I had to cancel because I had a stomach bug, I will be seen him back next week. I will let you guys know what he said. ???
