One Year Update!

Hi everyone,

So it's been just over a year since I had my surgery. The time has gone so fast! I thought I'd post some pictures so you can all see how it looks now that the swelling has gone down significantly.

I have noticed my columella has dropped a lot, so my nose looks quite different to a few months ago. I also noticed that on my left side (where he filled in a dent with some cartilage) it seems a bit 'soft' so I'm hoping that's not a bad sign. I'm panicking a little that the left side might be collapsing, but I think that's because that nostril was always a bit narrower than the other, both pre and post op. Hopefully it's just a case of swelling going down and the tissue not being as stiff as it previously was.

Aesthetically, it isn't perfect, but the important thing is: I'm okay with that! :)

I accept that it will never be perfect and though I still think about the appearance on and off, I'm not constantly worrying about it as I once was. My nose/ nostrils tend to lean to the right a little bit, but I don't think it's super obvious unless someone is really studying it. :P Overall, I'm still really happy with my decision and don't regret it.

I'm including a ton of photos from different angles that I took the other day. I applied too much blusher that day so apologies for the crazy orange cheeks :P

7 Month Review

Wow! The time has flown by and I can't believe it's been around seven months already. I thought I'd post some photos to show what my nose is doing currently; thankfully I haven't had any issues since my last update. The tip is a lot softer and the feeling in the tip is returning, so it's starting to feel like a human nose again and not a stiff block on the front of my face! Some things I noticed; I have started dating a wonderful guy and when we kiss, the tip of my nose can get a little pink and dry, so I think there's still some sensitivity whilst it's continuing to heal.

Also, in the last couple of weeks, I got an annoying spot on the bridge of my nose (kind of close to my eye). It's been months since surgery, so I don't think it's directly because of that, but it is taking ages to go away and I've never experienced this before. It's one of those that just sits under the skin and never really comes to a head (sorry for the gross info), I was just wondering if anyone else experienced anything like this and if they had to go to the doctor about it? I'm wondering if it just had something to do with the skin/ inside of my nose being moved around a little.

I noticed the very top of my bridge is still a little sore if I press on it so I think this is a sign it's still doing some healing up there.

Otherwise, all is well and I am happy with my decision. :)

Three Month Update

Hey guys!

It's been just over three months so I thought I'd post some pictures and let you know how I'm getting on. Physically I basically feel back to normal, as in, my nose is no longer blocked whatsoever and I can breathe perfectly, just as before my operation. My nostrils aren't so stiff anymore and are much more flexible. The tip is still very stiff in comparison to the rest of the nose but it isn't sore to touch at all. I noticed I have a tiny bit of scar tissue on the inside of one of my nostrils but it isn't visible unless you study the inside of my nose and doesn't cause me any problems. I think I actually found a tiny stitch the other day that must of been stuck up there for ages! I just blew it out. I am eaten normally and drink occassionally and haven't really had any issues with swelling (as far as I can tell!).

Overall very happy with my decision to get surgery.

Here are some photos, some were taken at my 25th party just a few days ago, so excuse the elf make up! :P
