Scar tissue ugh

Heres a quick update with what is going on with my nose. I am begging to build scar tissue especially at the tip.of my nose.
Dr shah did steroid shots for a few months to try to reduce swelling and to stop any additional scar tissue from forming. My last appointment he tried to go in with the needle and it was so much scar tissue that had formed that the needle would not even go in it was bending. I know this may sound bad but believe me my nose still look great.
Unfortunately the steroid shots were unsuccessful. Don't get me wrong I still love my nose I look amazing but it still can be better.
I have an appointment in February dr. Shah said he may need to go in and cut out the scar tissue that had formed. This is what I love about this doctor. He doesn't try to force his viewpoints on you even though my nose do look amazing. He wants it to look perfect so he's going to do whatever it takes for it to look perfect. He's willing to go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied and that you look great. Anyone getting plastic surgery could appreciate that. We're spending our money and we do not want a half ass service. So I love that he's willing to go above and beyond unlike some doctors who will just leave you hanging in or try to make you pay additional money.
Also shout out to everyone who made it appointment to consult with dr. Shah. Next time let me know before you go so I can give you a referral.
I will highly recommend this doctor. I know you all send me a ton of emails asking me questions and I'm sorry if I don't get back immediately I will try to do better. But if you're interested in his Services especially for African-American rhinoplasty I would definitely recommend him.
I will post another updated picture after the scar tissue is removed. Sorry to anyone who wanted to see my photos before. I took them down a few months ago. I will post an update it before and after once my scar tissue is removed.

Yassss! I like the results. Were there any downsides to the process? I know the nose takes a while to settle completely, but were the stage extreme?

Yes because it took so long for the swelling to go down I felt like my nose looks so much bigger than it was initially my nose is one year in and he said give it to a year-and-a-half to see my final results and yes he does give me steroid shots

Did he use an implant for your bridge? I love your nose , swollen and all! Once the swelling goes down I'm sure it will look even better!

Your nose is beautiful swelling and all. My swelling didn't really subside until the year mark. All of my swelling was in the tip and if i eat anything containing salt I would look like bozo. Sometimes i would leave the house feeling cute and a few hours later it looked like i was punched in the nose. You still have a long ways to go before swelling will completely subside i know it is difficult,but try and be patient.

Thanks boo, that really makes me feel better. It happens to me too. I start off cute chiseled nose and all. I get home and it looks like I got punched in the face. My tip is so round and big. I keep looking at yours it's perfect.

Great results! When you met with the doctor, what did you ask him to do to your nose? Did you ask for a dramatic or subtle result?

Um neither reallyou. I showed photos of what I like. I left it to him to make the decision on what would fit my face
