Hello lovelies! The 9 month point just flew past...
WORTH IT$6,800
Hello lovelies! The 9 month point just flew past me (September 15, 2012) and I've been so busy with my last semester in school I didn't even notice! The nose DOES feel different at 9 months as the swelling is almost completely gone. It's basically just on the front underside of my nose - the little triangular part of skin in front of the nostrils. It looks like my septum shifted after all, and now that swelling is down I can see it more, but like I said I'll have that revision and I trust my doctor completely. I had to get a new driver's license photo taken and it's apparent so I will upload it here. Hope everyone's doing well!

8-25-12: I took some photos with a photographer friend of mine and did a shoot for business professional headshots - despite all the photoshop, one of the shots shows a clear outline of my new nose so I'm uploading it here.
So far no changes to note, swelling is pretty minimal. It's just progressing on its snails' pace of healing. No real complaints at this point (except those drasted uneven nostrils - which nobody sees unless I point it out and tilt my head backwards).

Hello beautiful people! Sorry haven't updated...
Hello beautiful people!
Sorry haven't updated but there haven't been a whole lot of changes - just been slowly and steadily healing. Tip is still numb and becoming a touch softer. If I put a cold finger on the tip, I don't feel anything. However if I put some pressure, I do feel the cold sensation.
Also - May 15, exactly 5 months post-op, was the first time I noticed a significant change of the view of the nose head on. Like the swelling decreased from the sides. (Whereas before it was mostly noticeable from the side-view). Hope everyone's doing well and will update again soon!

So I have also gotten rhino from dr golden and I have the same issue with one of my nostrils. I don't know if my septum was already out of line because the dr. did break my nose during the procedure. But it has never been straight. Wouldn't it make more sense to get the septum realigned? Let us know what you decide.

Good question - I'm not sure! I've heard no two sides of your face are exactly alike, maybe it'd be too much work to make the septum perfectly aligned? I just know when he showed all I needed was something to be scooped out of one side - he took the tip of his pen or whatever and held the skin down, and the nostrils looked PERFECT! So deff looking forward to having that completed (though in reality nobody notices until I point it out to them)
