A year postop

It's been a year postop and I can finally say with some certainty, I am unhappy with the results. My nose has settled in more, but it's still extremely asymmetrical, bulbous and the height change is very minimal. It's disappointing when I look in the mirror and I register very little change.

A note of caution for out of towners: I would seriously recommend finding a doctor in-town. I am finding that the cost of plane trips back to Chicago and annoyingly long waits (45 minutes+) for Skype check ups annoying since I have a full time job and an incredibly busy schedule to wait on the computer for long periods of time and schedule time way off in advance just to come back into the office. Since I am displeased with my nose, I am flying back into his office for a check up and in-office procedures which means coordinating time off work, cost of a plane ticket, etc.

Very frustrated at this point. I am still patient and optimistic and hoping for a better result this summer. Will post an update soon.

11 months postop - nose tip incredibly swollen

Even though I don't want to be too hasty in judging my rhinoplasty results, as the 12 months draws nearer, I can't help but feel dissatisfied with my nose. When I first had my cast taken off, it was incredibly swollen. The tip stuck out and skewed to the side dramatically. In the months since then, it has slowly improved but it doesn't look like much has changed. In photography and videos, I can clearly see the swelling around the bulbous tip. The entire tip is still quite swollen and numb, I can't feel anything. It's also not symmetrical. I will probably schedule a Skype consultation soon to see his thoughts but I can't see my nose getting that much better in just under one month. At this point, I'm worried that too much tissue scarred over and is preventing the healing... I don't know, I'm just not that happy with the progress so far.

10 months in

Hey guys!

It's been about 10 months since my PS, and my swelling is still pretty bad. I've avoided the sun and I try to avoid salt, but my swelling is still my biggest enemy >_
