Can't believe it's been 8 months. Feels like so much longer. Here's an update:
I'm still so happy with my ears. If anyone is self conscious about putting their hair up because their ears are too big/stick out, getting an otoplasty is the best thing you can do for your confidence (at least it was for me). I never have to worry about people looking at my ears anymore and I can wear so many more hairstyles!
My nose is okay. For some reason my nostrils are crooked. And my tip is still so bulbous (something I stated I wanted smaller before surgery and it's not any smaller). But my doctor is going to give me another steroid shot in November to see if that'll help. If not, he said he will take out some more cartilage from the tip and fix the crookedness at no cost to me. Just have to wait for the year mark. My profile is amazing, it's just the front view that is messed up now. :(
My chin shouldn't have been done. It's not huge but it has definitely made the shape of my face more manly. I told my surgeon and he said to wait for the full year and if I still don't like it, he'll remove it. It was honestly my mistake. I shouldn't have had that done too. It's just not what I expected it to look like unfortunately. I'm getting into acting and now I have to wait to take headshots until next year now because my face has to be fixed first. =\
So all in all, there are some pluses and minuses right now but I hope it all works out in the end.

Tip is bothering me =/

I'm praying that it's still REALLY swollen. I've been taking progression pictures since cast removal and there's literally been no difference (see picture). Has anyone else had this problem? It will go back down to the size it was before surgery..right? I just don't understand how I haven't seen any differences yet..

If you are only 2 months post op, then your tip is definitely still swollen. I saw no progression on my tip until month 8 :). The tip normally has thicker skin and goes down much slower.

If you had grafts put in, then the swelling will take much longer to go down.

Question
Need2SingFebruary 25, 2016
Thinking about getting lip fillers.. because now that I have the chin implant it makes my lips look smaller or atleast appear smaller when looking at my profile. My top lip is so flat and I just want a little volume to help make my nose/lips/chin look proportionate. Has anyone gotten them done? Does it hurt really bad?
