So being a few if you have asked... Here are some photos. It's been about 5 months. My dr says I still have about 30% swelling in my tip. I am very pleased overall! SO nice to not have to ever worry about my profile. I'd do it over again in a heartbeat!!

I had the exact same job done as you with the hospital group in England my nose looks good but my lower eyes have sunk a bit I'm 9 months post op and I'm sorry I had it done because my under eyes look sunk my nose was more prominent before in the bridge area he took too much off and now it's dropped my lower eye area. Looks sunken and their after care is not what I would have hoped for I don't want fillers and I don't want to interfere with my eyes but I'm tempted to get an eye lift I'm 47 and the nose job put years on me I looked younger before The surgeon didn't take into account my facial features when he did my nose

Someone asked for updated photos, so here ya go. It was a "bad nose" day. I was outside all day long walking around with my toddler in the sun. And I ate a lot of salt yesterday, but it is still looking better. I have a bit of uneven swelling yet but it will go down. One thing I still am eagerly awaiting, is to get my smile back! Because I had a TON of swelling post-op, the area between my nose and my upper lip is still a bit stiff. Yikes! I am without a doubt happy I went through with everything. I am so much more confident in how my nose looks. Most days it looks great and it is only going to get better! I keep looking at the last post I made with the side by side pics and there is a huge difference!

I've wanted to do this for as long as I could remember but I've never been able to afford it. You are so lucky you have the means to make your dreams a reality, it looks great, I'm happy for you.

Wow. Huge difference, I've been wondering about your progress. I'm scheduled 8/14. I was told by PS my skin is on the thicker side. That makes me nervous about the swelling issue.
July 18, 2014
You will be fine eventually!!! Just don't be discouraged if you don't like it right away. It just takes longer for thicker skin to form around the new shape that the PS forms. You'll love it eventually! :)

Big difference with the swelling coming down! You seemed to have extreme swelling compared to others but I'm glad it's residing and I can see it's gonna keep looking better and better. If I could do over again, I would have scheduled a "winter" surgery. I don't think this summer heat helps any.

Happy to see that your swelling is going down. I also had bad days of swelling after my revision. Only when I compared side by side I could tell the difference. You're so pretty already. it's just a suggestion your upper lip is thin and if you get a filler like restylane I think it really look awesome on you. Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the unsolicited opinion. I am confident in how the rest of my face looks, thank you. I don't think it is productive for anyone to reccomend other surgeries to people on this site unless asked. I'm sure we could go through everyone's photos and dissect them. But that is not the point of this site. :) you may get your lips enhanced, face lift, chin implant... Whatever makes you happy. But my lips are a-ok to me :)

Glad to hear you're confident about your face. I didn't mean to cause any harm. Was just a suggestion. A filler is not a surgery btw. I would never recommend surgery to any one. Be well.

Congrats on your new nose!! You look wonderful. Glad it is over for you. By the time I have my surgery in Sept you will be recovered. Sometimes I wish mine was sooner so I wouldn't chicken out lol!!!
