you look so pretty

Thank you!

Did you tell Dr G what you wanted done on your nose, or just allow him to do whatever he thought it was best?
November 29, 2015
Kind of both. I didn't want any thinning of the bridge done but he said if he didn't then by taking the bump away would make it look too wide...I feel like its a hair too thin now but I'm still getting used to it. The tip is my main concert which on one side is more swollen, and a slightly different shape. It changes from day to day so I'm praying it evens out.

main concern*
June 25, 2016
I have exactly the same concern. One side of the tip is hard and bigger than the other. Also, my bridge is slightly higher than what I wanted. I don't live in California and didn't have any post op appointments but I am thinking of maybe seeing him at 12 months. I don't want to say I want a revision rhinoplasty but not 100% happy. Btw my results are very similar to yours.

You look absolutely STUNNING! Your nose looks so good :)) I am 9 days post op with Dr. G and your posts have helped me a lot! Thank you!
November 29, 2015
I'm so glad it helps! it is definitely a journey I'm still facing but I'm optimistic the end result will be worth it!

You look so pretty :)

How did your appointment go? Could you update us?
June 24, 2016
I don't have it for 2 more months. at my 6 month consultation he wanted to see me at 14 months
November 18, 2015
You look amazing! How do you feel?
November 29, 2015
I feel good but still self conscious some days. I really think alcohol and salt affect the swelling quite a bit but its hard to keep it low especially around the Holidays!
November 19, 2015
It looks so so so SO natural and pretty! The tip is adorable! =)
November 29, 2015
Thank you! Overall I'm so glad how it turned out, and that there is a good chance the subtle imperfections I see will eventually even out. At least its hard to tell either way :P

They will. The swelling fluctuates for about a year. Even then, remember that you went in expecting improvement and not perfection. You will be happier that way.
December 2, 2015
100% agreed! Its not necessary perfection I'm chasing... but just the swelling to not have those days where it looks like it was done... xD I have super natural days then some where its shiney and perkier. But its gotten so much better approaching the 6 month mark!

Hey guys sorry I haven't been posing. But I took these pictures at the 4 month mark. My bridge is surprisingly still getting a liiiitle thinner and the tip by week is getting more refined. Tired of seeing the a-symmetrical swelling, but I'm glad when I bring it up to those close to me they assure me they have no idea what I'm talking about. Luckily because that part is still tender, and sometimes way smaller I KNOW its going to down, and even out. When I look at old pictures of that part of my nose it was slightly fleshy-er on that side so it makes sense that that side would take longer to heal.

The left side of my bridge doesn't feel as flush/smooth as the other and I can see a small squishy bump where it is less "flush." But some days its near invisible and some days it looks like a pre-pimple. I called the office asking about it and the nurse assured me that some people get that, like her and I, but it is just swelling and hers went away after a year.

Patience is a [RS bleep] but I'm excited for the end result. I'll take a year of weirdness for a lifetime of improvement.

omg!! Your nose is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! If I had your nose after my primary rhino I would be the happiest person on earth and I would run away whenever I would hear the word plastic surgery. I'm almost a perfectionist but from the photos i dont notice the uneven swelling you mention.

Both the profile and frontal are GREAT! I want a nose like yours after my revision!
November 29, 2015
In pictures its really hard to tell, which is good. But in person the insecurity is still there. It is subtle though, the a-symmetrical tip, so I know I'm thankful based on some horror stories I've heard. If I'm being honest I'm also afraid to post a strikingly obvious picture for fear people I kno might find my posts and notice the imperfections forever... O.O

I try my best to not JUST post the "good" ones with filters and all that cuz its easy to hide the a-symmetrical swelling that way lol... The A-symmetrical swelling has gone down a LOT though so its very slowly evening out day by day. I'm thinking it will still be a while till I don't have swelling days where I'm self conscious about how shiny it looks lol.

I'm thinking this is all worth it though. :] Far away my nose still looks weird to me but I think I'll get used to it. A lot of people tell me how great it looks so I bet it is only noticeable to me. Thank you for all the support and love!
