5 month update

WORTH IT$9,800
After months of a lot of ups and downs emotionally. Days I wasn’t sure if this was the right decision- I can say I’m definitely happy. For people researching just know that you will most likely have a lot of emotions after surgery but just know that time passes quickly and every single month there is a difference and it will get smaller and smaller.

Thank you for update. I love the way your nose turned out. My nose looks so much wider and longer now I can’t imagine it ever getting better. I know I have to wait but time is not going fast enough for me. Did you have any breathing problems after surgery?
Yes I couldn’t breathe well for maybe the first 5 or 6 weeks. I breathe fine now though. And for me, the width started getting narrow at the top first, the tip sometimes is still swollen. But I see a big difference from month 3 to now (month 5). I had a lot of days in those first few months were I wondered if I had made the right choice. It definitely an emotional roller coaster I didn’t plan for! But it DOES get better.
Paganka I just looked at when your surgery date was- you are right in the midst of the roughest part! Hang in there! Try not to dissect nose too much!! I know easier said than done!
I know I try not to look in the mirror but I think about it all the time.

10 weeks update

Like errybody else says there are “good” nose days and “bad”. For the most part I am happy. Sometimes I feel like he front is too big or swollen or not refined enough... and then I remember this is a process and it’s only been a couple of months. I’m choosing pics here of good nose days. I’ve been working out more and I’ve noticed that my nose will get more swollen the more I workout which is kind of expected. Still happy I did this. I do think it’s an improvement over my old nose and I still look like myself which is what I had hoped for.

Looks good. Do you still tape your nose?
Thanks paganka! No I haven’t taped in a long time.
Im impressed
Thank you :)
Looks so good!!
Thanks!
Perfect! You want to always look like a better version of yourself and that’s exactly what you achieved here. I hope it continues to move along positively for you. Right now it looks fantastic
Thank you! Hoping it gets more refined but looks like it’s on track to. Thanks :)

One month update

Super happy. There were things I was nervous about right after cast removal that are already fixing themselves, like the width of the front and breathing well. Be prepared if you go through with this to have moments of doubt. One time I pulled up a pic of my old nose and thought it wasn’t that bad and for a split second thought maybe I should’nt have done this (it was a brief moment) but one month from surgery and I’m totally glad I did this. I even ran into someone I knew and hadn’t seen and she said nothing to me so I feel like I still look myself only better.

It looks so good! Better than when the cast first came off and I thought it looked amazing then. Are you still taping it and sleeping upright? Or no?
Thanks peachyfox! I’ve been really bad about taping but if I feel like it’s super swollen at night I do tape it still. (I honestly don’t even know when I’m supposed to stop with the taping)
I absolutely love your nose. I’m so glad it turned out great and thank you for updating.
Paganka thank you so much!
How’s the healing coming along? Still going well?
