Final Product----love

Ok so it was a process but he did it! I love the final look. Went in Wed for another rhino work up. He said he wanted to use new technique that he just tried on his daughter. It was short compared to the cartilage transplant (less than two hours) and recovery was a breeze... No bruises and little swelling.
I think that it still looks like me but refined. Super cute and flattering without really attracting attention.
Just wanted to say for those of you who are interested in rhino 1) find a great doctor like Dr. Schlesinger and 2) be patient!!!! I didn't realize how much there can be to this process and went through lots of emotions but I lovelovelove end product!
Guess should've put on make up whatnot for "final" pix and maybe will later but I like the new nose that much that I'll share with you... Au natural.

Was freaking out that I would have to go thru a rhino touch up. Left side of bridge was still swollen and right nostril scar was not smooth. Woke up with another cast so I was worried about another long recovery but stitches and cast off in three days, min bruising and touch up made a huge difference!!! Love results immediately. It's only 1week post op so sure more swelling to go down but I like it a lot. Smile is also coming along, less strained and upper lip is healing. Flattering but still ethnically appropriate and subtle. Can't lie... Process was more than I anticipated but loving results now. Thank you Dr S!

So haven't updated in a while. Had an infection in collumna. Doc had me in two strong antibiotics and also had hypobaric oxygen therapy. Doctor paid so that was good. Got better but still red at the base. Another round of antibiotics again as precaution. Remember to take probiotics!!!! I learned the hard way after yeast infection... Ugh. Liking nose more and more. Swelling has gone down a lot but still looks like a big bump in bridge that wasn't there before. Challenge is thick skin so fine detail gets lost and swelling is worse. Going in for eye surgery at end if month. Depending in progress, may need some rhino touch ups. One is right nostril didn't heal smoothly do that will be corrected. Also swelling on bridge ESP on left side is still quite swollen so may have to be addressed during next sx too. Guess I'm lucky that I have next surgery so I have opportunity to do these minor touch ups. Smile hasn't completely returned but getting there.
