Okay it was worth it

WORTH IT$12,500
It may still me swollen from time to time... but at the end of the day it’s worth it because I’m not constantly thinking about my nose anymore, and I think that’s worth the cost. I definitely look better/different and there’s definitely a change for the better. If you’re considering having a nose job, go for it. I’m happy I did it because mentally I’m happier that I don’t focus on the lighting im in or my angle of my nose for the person sitting next to me.

Idk what happened? I tried to Keep my expectations low but I really feel like there isn't a hugeeee different. My breathing is worse now because my bone is deviated or my nostril collapsed? I'm not sure exactly what happened but I do know that I can barely get air through my right nostril and when I look up the bone and the other side of my nose are touching. It wasn't like that before. I had large nostrils before. They are ugly but they got the air through them lol. I wouldn't necessarily mind the bad airflow but I'm just struggling to see a big change. There's still a bump! Who gets their nose done and still has the exact same bump on their nose?? I wish my nose was shorter, thinner, less bulbous, pointy/perkier, and more feminine. I feel like my initial issues were improved, but not enough. I know there is no perfect nose job.. but I am really struggling with revision. I'll go back for my follow up and see if it would be too expensive to have the doctor fix my airflow and possibly make my nose more attractive. I just really don't want to spend another 9,000 for the nose. If my breathing ends up bugging me that much I might just go to someone locally who's cheaper and see if they can fix it.

Can you please update? I’m 5 months post op with Dr. G. And for the record, I think you look great!!

I definitely think it looks better! But i can understand your frustration because the tip still does look quite swollen. Which suddenly I’m experiencing almost 6 months out. Have you spoken with Dr.G? If so What did he say?

I had a light touch rhinoplasty at 30 for a bump and a tip that just stuck out too much. Went to an NYU trained doc who did primarily facial reconstruction. Couldn't be happier with the result. I trained at Johns Hopkins and had him do my filler. Since he was salaried faculty, he charged me $500.00 and did a sliding genioplasty and cheek implants as well. For noses choose someone trained in reconstruction or ENT. Your breathing should NOT be worse.

Your nose looks great it looks amazing!! I sort of had a before nose like yours more bulbous tip wide nostrils and droopy tip. I was told the same thing you may not get the results you desire because so and so and you have this and that but I will do my best. Dr. G really is a good surgeon. I just had a male rhinoplasty Aug 21st and I’m very happy with the outcome and swelling still has quite some time to go down still. I am 8 days post op and my only concern is my breathing. After cast removal yesterday I still have blockage and I read were you mentioned you had breathing concerns after cast removal but you didn’t mention a time frame for when it got better and how. I was hoping you could fill me in and give some advice on what you did and how you dealt with it? Also if you know what it was that caused the blockage like swelling or a reaction to surgery incisions? I’m looking for a solution asap because sleeping with an open mouth has been causing my teeth to numb due to having braces and it is painful. Anything would help. Thanks a lot

Hey! Sorry for the late reply! From what I remember I would take hot showers a lot and use the ocean spray because it was all dry clotted blood that was stopping me from breathing. I would massage (lightly) the my nose and around my nose and it seemed like that got things moving around a bit to where you can get some air in. I would say about a week or two after cast off I could breathe again. You're gunna get some really big really nasty boogers and they block your breathing as well, just get a q tip and gently take them out. Even 8 months out I have trouble breathing at times because my nose swells up when I sleep and it makes it hard to get air through. It just takes time but it will get better!
