3 weeks post op!

WORTH IT$9,500
I can finally breath without having to use my mouth. I am no longer bruised but I do have some swelling which also prevents me from breathing 100% freely through my nose. The swelling is both internally and externally. But other than that I feel great and love how I look.

You look gorgeous! Your new nose fits you perfectly. Looks like you were born with it! Congratulations.
Thank you!
It's a very pretty nose. Yes I can see the swelling, but swelling is so typical at 22 days. Around 4 months it's pretty much gone. I can already see the shape now of your future nose and can tell is going to be beautiful!
Thank you!
Beautiful!
Damn he's good
Thank you so much for your post, i found your story inspirational for me on nose reshaping surgery.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Beautiful, graceful result already. Congrats! I saw what you wrote about just trusting him when it comes to the shape. That's super brave of you! Did you at least tell him what you wanted for the bridge or nostrils? Like smaller nostrils or curved vs straight bridge?
I didnt tell him anything. Even though I had planned on showing him pictures of Angelina Jolie as my inspiration, he never asked. He goes straight to the point. He tells you what he will change and that was it. It was a quick consult.
Wow. It's his signature shape definitely. Enjoy :))
Your nose looks very Angelina-esque. Congratulations it's beautiful.
I'm really sorry to hear about your experience with Dr G but I really hope you stop bashing other people's review they are obviously very happy with their noses. . You should have known that he's a busy guy since the start everybody atleast spends 5-10 min with him in his consultation. I've seen your question you asked the doctors on here and your nose does not look like the signature look he does I really hope you find inner peace with yourself and please be patient it takes up to a head for the nose to fully heal
Year * sorry

Cast off!!

I am not going to lie, the healing time thus far has sucked. I have felt nauseous and dizzy though out the whole first week. The worse part is the constipation which I got because of the anesthesia (I know TMI!!) Anywho, today it was all worth it when I saw the shape of my nose. I am still very swollen and bruised it looks like it will be while for the swelling to go down. If anyone knows of anything that I can do to help speed the process up please let me know.

The only thing you can do at this point is to keep applying ice to your eyes for swelling and also tape at night and keep sleeping elevated it sucks but you can't "hurry" this process /: I'm 4 weeks and still swollen from the front try not to focus on the imperfections some days you'll wake up with uneven swelling which will make your nose look funky don't pay attention to it just keep in mind you'll have a beautiful outcome and you'll be ok (:
You look beautiful! Did you show dr g a photo of anyone that you wanted a nose like
No, he never asked for one. He perfects the nose based on your face. I was a little hesitate at first cause he was very fast during out meetings but im very happy with the results. He is very terrific. You can definitely trust him.
Terrific results! Love your profile!
omg so perfect! congrats and happy healing! hopefully you'll start to feel better soon!

Thank you for being so diligent with your progress updates and for telling it like it is, so people know what to expect. Your nose looks great, and I look forward to seeing more update and photos as your journey unfolds. :)
