So I am loving my nose...love the results. However my breathing is worse. The left side is closed even more. I still haven't called and made an appointment but I definitely need to cuz my sleep apnea is so much worse. But am very happy with how it looks

Hi your nose looks amazing! Is your breathing better yet? I had my surgery w/ Dr C also mine did not turn out so good cosmetically and my breathing is horrible...sad to say Ive got quite a few issues and most definitely need revision but Im more afraid this time how about you?

Looking better

Starting to feel much better. Swelling and bruising going down more and more everyday and everyday I'm loving my new nose more and more. It doesnt really change much about my face I think...just a nice nose and profile. I think it's looks pretty natural...gotta perfectly with my face. Have no regrets and I think Dr. Castiglione did an amazing job. Have a hard time breathing still cuz im still stuffy and can't blow my nose...constantly cleaning it worth qtips. I'll update when all bruising and swelling goes down.

Hey, I am so glad you are pleased with your nose, you are right in the sense that it doesn't change the proportions of your face its a straighter better version of your nose that really suits you and will become more refined as time goes on. In my opinion it now doesnt distract the eye from your other features allowing your true beauty to shine through......so glad you have had such a great result!!!:-)


had such a great result! :-)

First let me say you look beautiful! Pretty with your delicate profile. Did you have open or closed surgery and about how old are you 20s or 30s?

Cast off!!!

So yesterday I went to get the cast off. I hadn't really heard anything about the cast so wasn't too sure what to expect. The nurse came in to take the stitches off which felt like pinches but wasn't bad. Then Dr. Castiglione came in to take off the cast. Now that hurt. Pulling this really good taped on mask off a sore nose...wow. And then he rubbed his finger down my nose to feel that the bump was down...I slowly started to feel dizzy and started sweating. If I wasn't sitting down I would have passed out. He immediately went and got me a cold towel and put it on my head. Looking in the mirror though I loved my results. I think he did a wonderful job. What I like is that I still look like me just with a better nose. My nose is definitely still swollen he said...but that's gonna take time. Im very happy...wish I had gone to him years ago!! I'll post more pics when I noticed more swelling going down

What a beautiful result! Was your nose tapped after cast removal or just left natural?

Thanks..No it was left natural. He said the tip is really swollen and round but that it will go down in two weeks. Still it's much better than before so I'm definitely happy
