So I can't believe that it's been a year since my surgery.....Everything is pretty good. There is still swelling according to dr. G, and he has yet to take my "after" pics. He says it will be another year before all the swelling goes down. The breathing is great. I went for a massage the other day, first time since my surgery, and I could BREATHE!!! Before, I've always had a hard time breathing when flat on my back, but now it's wonderful....GREAT FEELING! My next follow up with dr. G is in april, 2016. We'll see if he takes any "after" pics then. But I gotta be honest, at my last visit, which was about a month ago, he showed me my "before" pics and I cringed! Man, my nose looked horrible before lol. I couldn't believe that was my nose. It's still not perfect now, still there is unevenness, in the nostrills and on the sides, the left side is a bit bigger or maybe still swollen....He did do more work on the left side, because that's where I had the closed passage and the tissue growing. But overall, I like the look and the size very much.
some new pics
So I just hit the 3-month mark. My nose has gone down significantly. However, there is still room to improve. I am hoping this is not the final shape, since the left side is still uneven with the right. But I really like the overall shape of it, cause it looks very natural. Sorry I don't have too many pics for u guys.
Taking Shape
So it has been 2 months and 1 week since my surgery with Dr G. I must say I don't obsess over my nose as much as I used to. It's still kinda like the star of the show, but slowly fading into the background lol. I still tape at night, only cause it makes me feel more secure. And I still try to sleep somewhat elevated. Every day my nose looks different. Others have good and bad hair days, I have good and bad nose days lol. I do have unevenness, which the doc said is uneven swelling. Hoping that is the case. the left side of my nose is wider than the right. I know I still have a long way to go, but overall I am beginning to like my new nose. The tip is still hard, although not like before, and turned up, especially from the left which is weird. I like the right profile more. But now I tend to take pictures facing straight, whereas with my old nose that was a NO-NO! lol.
Has anyone experienced uneven swelling? Does it improve?

Provider Review
Dr. G is very professional and nice. And he's great with responding to allme email questions. Not sure about the results yet as it is still extremely early to tell. My nose is super swollen, especially at the tip/around nostrills. It just looks really wide so far.
