Hello! I had my surgery on May 24th. I have been self conscience over my nose since middle school. I always thought my nose was too large and too long for my face. I am so happy I went through with rhinoplasty. I had very few supporters on my decision. I still wanted to have it done because I knew it would give me confidence. I really researched on what surgeon I wanted. I found Dr. Imola. I saw countless good reviews about him. My consultation was wonderful. I felt very comfortable and confident with him. The actual surgery went well. I was expecting pain afterwards, but it really was just congestion that was uncomfortable. I bruise very easily, and I did have a lot of bruising and swelling. After a week I looked a lot more like myself. I am now a little over 3 weeks post op, and I really love my results so far. I know I'm still swollen, but I already feel like my new nose frames my face better.

I can totally relate! My lip upper lip didn't feel normal for about two weeks. My skin was also in bad shape. But after a few weeks with have my cast off my skin was getting back to normal. My nose is still pretty swollen, and it's frustrating because it is more swollen on my right side. The good thing is, nobody would be able to notice. I notice because I have been intensely studying my new nose! Swelling for me significantly went down about two and a half weeks.

I wish the swelling would go down faster, but I know I just have to wait to see the final result. I wish you the best of luck on your rhinoplasty journey! Just remember that every day it gets better!

Awesome. Congrats. You look fantastic. Any reason you paid over 2 grand more than the average rhinoplasty cost?

Thank you! My surgery went for a pretty long time. My surgeon is a perfectionist. I did have issues with the right side of my nose and because of the additional time spent on that, I had a higher price.

Worth every penny for a perfect result, right? :D
