15 months later - definitely there is room for improvement
So I have been off this site forever but thought it might be time to come back and address some issues for people that are potentially considering a surgery with Dr. G. I was absolutely thrilled with the results originally. I asked him to be very conservative which he did but perhaps a little too much. I loved the results at the very beginning even with the swelling. Unfortunately, around 5-6 month mark my tip started dropping and my nose is too long for my liking at this point. I guess this probably gives some hope for people who think their nose is too short. The tip can continue dropping for the entire year so if you are unhappy originally because it is too short give it some time as you may really enjoy it a year later. At this point I wish he would have shortened it a little more so that I could have ended up where I was after the cast removal. The bridge definitely has developed a few minor dents here and there as well which were not visible originally probably due to swelling. Also I can tell that my tip is crooked just a tad bit to one side which probably is causing my most important and annoying issue - poor breathing on the left side. I have never in my life had breathing issues and sadly now I feel like my left nostril allows only maybe 50% of the air in or out. It is very annoying and frustrating as I keep on tugging and pulling on it to open it up throughout the day so I could breath easier. This is probably my biggest complaint and I would love to get it fixed at some point but am very scared to ruin it. So to sum it up, I am disappointed and there is definitely room for improvement. To answer the final question on whether it is worth it I would still say yes but perhaps would recommend doing a better research on the surgeon and be prepared for the possible issues. Even with all of the issues that I described the aesthetic change is so drastic for me that I still like the new nose much better than my old nose. Perhaps I am shallow but being insecure about my nose all my life and the amount of confidence that this change gave me was very significant and if I had to choose I would do it again. Hope this update helps some of you considering this surgery.
3 months post op- would do it again in a heartbeat
7 weeks later, loving my results
I am loving my results. Here are a few things that I noticed, my left side of the bridge is a tad bit straighter than the right. It doesn't bother me at all because it looks extremely natural and not done up. Just thought I would bring it up for those looking for perfection. I personally would not change a thing. It is such an improvement for me that I don't care about this tiny imperfection and probably prefer it since it helps me fool other people about not getting anything done to my face. Second thing is my breathing... my nose is still slightly clogged up on one side but only about 20% clogged up and the weird thing is that it alternates between nostrils. So it's never both nostrils clogged up but only one of them and only 20% clogged so I can still breath through it and not all the time. Not sure if it's swelling related or if i have something that's still stuck up there and haven't found it's way down yet but since it's alternating I have high hopes in it resolving. Ultimately, though if I had to live with this for the rest of my life I'd still do it and I'd still choose the same doctor. I cannot believe how much my old nose affected me until now because my self confidence went up a lot, I wear much less makeup and still feel pretty. Worth it a thousand times.
