6 month Appointment w/ Dr G
I had my post op appointment with dr g back in June, at the 6 month mark. It went really well. He answered all my questions and didn't rush me at all. He noticed the bone sticking out on the left side right when I walked in and said it will be an easy fix for him to do in the office and won't require surgery. He will have to shave the bone down more and will be able to do it in the office with just twilight sedation. He said it will look a lot better but it won't be perfect because my bone went to the left before surgery. I have to wait until I'm 14 months before a revision so I'm planning on getting it done in February.
I also talked to him about the dent on the right side. He said that he could either put in a graft, which would require another surgery, or I could do a filler. He said putting in a graft will make the nose look a little wider. I really don't know if I'm up for a whole surgery, along with the recovery again and I don't want it to be wider either. I am leaning toward doing the filler but I haven't decided. Has anyone had or known someone who has had good results with filler in the nose. I think once the bone on the left is shaved down the dent won't bother me. That's what I'm hoping at least.
I'm happy to report that I reached a turning point around 7 months- I love my new nose now and it feels like a part of me. The imperfections don't bother me like they use to. Even though it's not perfect I think it's a big improvement and I'm really happy I went through with the surgery. Especially my profile from the right side. Big improvement. I posted a couple pictures of the difference. I am super nervous to have more work done but I do think the bone needs to be more narrow in the middle.
If anyone knows what the recovery is like from having a bone shaved down please let me know. That was one thing I forgot to ask dr g. I am really hoping it is a lot easier than the initial surgery.

5.5 month photos
I wanted to give an update of what I'm seeing at 5.5 months. I have seen some positive changes with both the bridge and the tip. The bridge has gotten a little more narrow and the tip has come down some. I am feeling better about it in general, most days. However the issues i mentioned are all still there, they have gotten a little better and don't bother me quite as much. I am really hoping they continue to improve over time. I see dr g in a couple weeks and have a list of questions ready for him. I'll do a post on what he says about everything. Thank you so much for the feedback!
