Love it! How are you feeling? Do you still have swelling? Is the tip of your nose soft? What did Dr C say? Did you wear sunglasses the past months? Thanks for your update!!

Thanks. I still have swelling only noticeable to me but not much. The tip of my nose is not soft. It is still hard. I wonder if it will ever actually be soft again. Dr. C said he is pumped about my results. He is happy with the work. I have been wearing sunglasses since 3 months post op. Sometime sunglasses feel heavier on my nose now and more sensitive.

Hi, I am 7 weeks post op with Dr. Cochran, and I keep on observing my nose all the time waiting for any little swelling to come down :) My tip is still hard, but now that you mention yours is as well at 1 year post op, I wonder why. Can you blow your nose? May I also ask, when did you start noticing that the shape of your nose settled at about the same definition that you have now? I know it's probably still too early 7 weeks post op, but I feel like my tip is lacking definition, the bridge is still too wide, and I have a boney lump on the right side of the bridge which is making me curious about its origin since he didn't even break my nose.

Hi Doro - I hope your recovery is going well. Yes, I can definitely blow my nose but it did feel like it took forever to be able to fully blow my nose and use a tissue inside it easily. You will get there. If I had to guess, I would say that my nose took it's appearance closer to 6 months. And after that it only changed very slightly. It took a while for my tip to get some definition but it happens. Def talk to Dr C about that boney lump. He will be happy to see you at any time. I still feel like my nose is too wide but Dr C said he had to open it up so that I could breathe better. He said my nose was too skinny but I def think my nose looks bigger now from the front but the profile and tip are much much better. Hang in there. It takes a while!! I am over a year out and still have some numbness and swelling around the tip.

Thanks so much for sharing your story and photos! Your result is one i would give anything for, it is just perfect! I have been looking at all Dr Cochran's reviews and he just seems to good to be true, everyone's nose looks flawless! Do you mind me asking how things with your nose are now? Is everything back to normal yet? Thank you again!

Thank you for your nice words!! I am happy with my work from Dr. C. I believe he did the absolute best job he could have done with my nose. I am still recovering. I have some swelling in my tip that still needs to subside... but only noticeable to me. Nobody else would ever take note to it. I am still a little stiff in the tip of my nose and don't have 100% of the feeling back but this is normal with rhinoplasty. Over, he is a very skilled surgeon. I would feel very comfortable with him if I were you!

3 months post op! Things are looking really good....

3 months post op! Things are looking really good. I really saw some changes about 3 weeks back. I had some uneven-ness in my nostrils and my nose and that has all resolved. My nose is straight, nostrils are even, and swelling has subsided. My tip is still hard and is sensitive if bumped but my nostrils have feeling back. It feels sore still when I wear sunglasses. I don't like to wear them for long periods of time since I do have sensitivity. One thing I have noticed is that the right nostril runs more than my left. I feel like I always have the sniffles and constantly keep tissues with me. Especially when I am eating... weird. Anyhow, all is great and looking really good! I will post 4 month post op pics after my 4 month appt with Dr. Cochran!

Hi Lulusss. Thanks for the nice comments and sorry for the delay. The meds made me nauseous. I had to take them with crackers but they sure do help take the edge off and help you relax through recovery!

She really does look great...so pretty! Pearl, I hope that you share your experience with Dr. Cochran as well and good luck. He seems to be one of the best and I am considering him for my revision but I really want to be sure and get it right this time. I truly appreciate those who are willing to share their experience and photos...so helpful. Thank you.

Thanks, Faith! I wouldn't second guess Dr. Cochran. He is very skilled. Would recommend him anyday to anyone. Another girl I know used him for her THIRD rhinoplasty and he fixed everything that other surgeons screwed up. Good luck!

Hi, thank you everything went well. For the most part I was happy with what Dr. Cochran can accomplish with surgery. Now I have to decide when I can have surgery...

Faith, I had my appt. today, I wanted to have surgery this month but it's not going to be possible because there is only one space available and it is tentatively reserved for someone else. I have to take my vacations by the end of the year or else I will loose them. So as of now I don't know when I can again take some time off next year :(

I am going to have surgery with Dr. Cochran next week. I love your results, and I was wondering if you could post an update. It surely would calm my nerves ;)
UPDATED FROM Texas Bunny

I am currently one month post op. It was great to...

Texas BunnyAugust 12, 2012
I am currently one month post op. It was great to get a phone call from Dr. Cochran at my one month mark to see how I'm doing and how I feel about my nose so far. I am very happy with the results so far. My nose is still sensitive to touch (tender), mainly in the tip. The swelling has gone down in my bridge and I still have some swelling in my tip. I can feel the swelling and my tip feels like a rock. Because swelling went down in other places and not my tip so much, my tip looks up-turned right now but nothing too drastic. I can only really see it. It's getting better each day. I'm sure in the next several weeks, I will start seeing more definition in my tip. I still clean with q tips all the time and I try not to blow my nose. My incision site is just a little bit pink yet. Dr. C said everything I am explaining is the normal healing process. My right nostril tends to run much more than my left. Overall, I feel great, look great, and I still look like me. Barely anyone has noticed so far. A few people made comments that I look different. My husband loves my new nose and so do I! Such an improvement!

Thanks Michelle! Yes, it does. It takes some time to like the front view but I'm ok with that just because it's already such an improvement and will only continue to look better :) Thanks and hope your recovery is going well!

Your results look great! I'm getting mine done next week to take the hump off. I'm so excited, been wanting this since I was 10! I am going through a divorce and decided to give myself a gift I would enjoy forever! Plus I hated all my wedding photos that caught my profile so if I get married again one day, I want to love all the pictures! I'm nervous about going under for the procedure and the first couple of days but I think I want it bad enough to get over that! If you have any advice I'd love to hear it.
