Nostrils are getting soft.

I won't be uploading any facial pictures tonight. I've never really been a picture person and my tip is still sooooo hard. I'm still happy with my decision because I know my nose Had a weird shape and I see a major difference. This is a wait game guys and not everyone will feel comfortable have a resident work on their face. I've gotten messages from people interested in Mount Sinai RESIDENTS CLINIC. Using a teaching clinic didn't bother me because I'm an RN n I know that these teaching schools are big on patient satisfaction. Dr Jablonka was so cute, sincere, nice, and honest. He worried about me scarring. He said He was concerned about that due to my thick skin. But I've been putting scar cream on my nose (tube is in the picture) and on my left breast. No pain in my breast rib area at this time. It did hurt for the first 2 weeks though.

19 Days Post operation and my tip is sooooo hard.
It's 19 days after my surgery and let me tell you this has been rough. First of all, under my eyes still have black areas which has distorted the way I look and feel. I didn't have a bridge and I didn't want a big one. Dr Jablonka cut under my left breast to get my rib. That cut has closed very nice and I'm putting scar cream on it. I've been putting scar cream on the sides of my nose although you really can't see any scars. I can't even see the one on the middle part of my nose. The tip of my nose is super swollen and although one side has taken its shape the other side has not. It's HARD. I see a major difference and I'm hoping once the tip drops and the swelling goes down it will be even better. Dr Jablonka told me to come back in three weeks for steroid injections if I'm still super swollen ----------I don't so snap chat filters because I want you guys to see the REAL DEAL. I can't deal with the SC filters pictures!!! However, I have makeup around my eyes due to the dark bruising spots. I'm not a makeup person at all!!! Happy Valentines Day! I was trying to at least feel like a person today because it's been a rough and emotional road since January 26th.

Happy Valentines day and thank you for posting an update!!! Your results look really good -- very natural and also symmetrical! I am sure it will look even better once the swelling goes down.
February 15, 2017
Yes I see the BIG difference already and it looks sooo much better in person. I'll continue to post as time goes on I just wanted you guys to see the difference. My nose is so thick and hard so I'm sure it will take a few months to see the drastic change I wanted and look even better. The nostrils are JUST starting to soften up a LITTLE. @Skinnym3 I HATE SC filters. I don't even have SC. When people post with those filters, I just keep scrolling. I don't want to be deceived....I want to see the real deal. It's only because of the bruising I had the makeup AROUND my eyes. I'll post again on Feb 26, which will be my one month.

Thank you for sharing and without filters! It's so deceptive. Your progress is coming along nicely. I'm still searching with money in hand for the perfect surgeon. Please keep us posted.

We had similar noses but only mine was much bigger. I also have a tip now and it's something I've had to get use to...can't wait till it drops. Happy healing!

The middle of my nose was like that too, I hated it but it gets better
April 6, 2017
it looks bigger after to be honest... or is that swelling?
April 6, 2017
I hope it's the swelling. The tip is still rock solid hard. I love the new shape though and it looks better in person. It's only been 2 months so I'm waiting this out.
April 7, 2017
That's how mines was bigger after I hated life it has went down a lot but still kinda hard in the middle
April 7, 2017
I'm not worried at all because my skin is super thick and rhinoplasty results take months-years. That's why I don't see the need to post pictures all the time.
April 7, 2017
That's the same thing I said cuz it's like posting the same pic.. but yes having thick skin causes for the middle to be big like that.

I see a very successful rhinoplasty. I see a more refined nose that give your lips a larger appearance. The swelling can take some time I was googling nose massages and came across a tape that can be used at night to help with swelling or just use a cool humidifier. I used one for 3 days after my rhinoplasty

African American Female Rhinoplasty Mount Sinai, NYC residents program 1/26/2017
RealSelf isn't letting me put 1/26 for the procedure date. What's up with that?
---------I paid $3,515 for a rhinoplasty with RIB GRAFTING today with Dr. Peter Taub and Chief Resident, Eric Jablonkam at Mount Sinai Hospital on Madison Ave in Manhattan, NY. I'm not sure who did what but I would assume it was the resident so he could get his experience . I'll know more on Tuesday when I get the cast removed. I just took Amoxicillin and Arnica and I'm eating pineapples at this very moment while typing this before going to bed.
------------After much research and going to three other places for consultations I chose this hospital's residency program because I did my nurse training at Mount Sinai and love how they operate.
-----------I'm exhausted because I had my surgery this morning and the anesthesia is on of course. Goodnight dolls and Kens.

Hello thank you for sharing your journey. In the description beside your name it says Dr. Moreano as well as at the end of your post in a separate box underneath, with the names Peter Taub, MD overseeing cheif resident Eric jablonka, does Dr Moreano work at Mount Sinai as well? Looking forward to hearing more from you! Best wishes for your recovery.
January 28, 2017
The doctors name needs to be changed. I messaged Eva to do it but I hasn't been done yet.
January 30, 2017
Ok thank you for yoit response. I hope your recovery is coming along nicely
January 31, 2017
Best wishes on your recovery!!!! Looking forward to yr updates and I am planning a consultation with them soon!
January 31, 2017
I was just about to respond to oliviaport that recovery SUCKS! I knew it would. These first few days have been murder. I've been stuck in my house since Thursday and I can't wait to get my nose plugs taken out later today. My cast came off and my nose looks like Bozo the clown!!!! I stuck it back on just to not look at it. Lol. My eyes look like I was somebody's punching bag. I've been taking the Arnica tabs/cream and eating the pineapples. I hope the bruising under my eyes go down soon.
January 31, 2017
Wow...That sounds like a lot but I hope that the swelling will go down soon! When is your follow up???
January 31, 2017
So I went today and he pulled the nose plugs out (disaster and uncomfortable) and took some of the stitches out. He cleaned the top of my nose and put the cast right back on. I was disappointed because I'm tired of wearing this cast. He said to come back next Tuesday to remove it and take out the rest of the stitches.
February 2, 2017
Oh wow :( Next Tuesday will be here before you know it though! Please keep us posted as to what happens and of your results.
February 6, 2017
I hope that all is well. I just sent you a PM because I am going to make an apt to go there as well.
January 31, 2017
I hope you are doing well. You mentioned today was your big reveal, hope everything has gone well, and if you haven't done it yet that everything goes well!!! Looking forward to hearing more from you. God bless
January 31, 2017
I sure wish it was my big reveal. I just left Dr Jablonka and he wants me to keep the cast on until next Tuesday due to swelling. He did mention during the consult to have the cast on for two weeks but I honestly thought he was kidding. I've never seen anyone wear it for so long. I'm truly disappointed.
February 1, 2017
I hope,it went well. Were you able to talk to other patients who had their noses done by Munt Sinai. Were you able to see pictures of others before you?
February 2, 2017
I didn't request to speak to any other patients. That's not really my thing. I did ask Dr Jablonka during the consultation about pictures of others and he said they didn't have them. I'm assuming it's a HIPAA violation because I didn't sign anything to have my pictures shown either but I did my nursing clinical rotation here and have seen their work before.
