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?
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*
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!
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?
I don't have it for 2 more months. at my 6 month consultation he wanted to see me at 14 months
You look amazing! How do you feel?
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!
It looks so so so SO natural and pretty! The tip is adorable! =)
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.
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!

4 months post pictures

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!
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 love your results. Your nose looks very natural. Congratulations! I do not notice any imperfections, you look stunning. Thank you for taking the time to post new pics. It really helps many people
its so perfect! nothing else to add:))!
Gorgeous!

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!
