Finally Got my Nose Done! - La Jolla, CA

Update!
WORTH IT$6,900
Sorry it's been forever since ive updated! I feel like I pretty much have my final result, I have no more swelling. I have sensation back in the tip of my nose (gosh that was the weirdest sensation). My nose is still a little tender to the touch. I'm really happy with my results. I feel like I totally still look like myself but it's just a lot better. I can't even remember my old nose sometimes, which is strange because it hasn't even been that long lol. Subtle yet beautiful changes are the best when it comes to your face. I could go and pick apart every little thing I hate about my face but there comes a point when you just have to be happy with yourself. I will definitely say that I am walking with a new confidence, I don't mind my profile anymore and I'm just enjoying the new changes.

you look awesome, you were beautiful before but now you look amazing!!
I appreciate the love, thank you :)
You look good , take out with your girlfriends and celebrate!
Will do! Thanks!
Beautiful before and after :) He did a nice deprojection of your nose! Can't wait to see more pictures after your swelling has settled down more.
Thank You! I agree, he did exactly was I was looking for :)
You look beautiful. Do you feel that you have (or will have) the nose you expected from the computer imaging? I am considering a consultation with this dr. also. Thanks.
I feel it turned out much better than the computer imaging, but that gave me a realistic expectation :) In my opinion Dr Kolstad appears to do a better outcome than the imaging, but it's very close. That's just based on the views I have seen in his portfolio.
I doubt anyone would ever thing u look strange! Gorgeous!!!!

Better everyday
I'm looking more and more back myself BUT better everyday. For a little while I wasn't recognizing my own face which is a very strange feeling! I wanted to look like myself but better and I think that is what my results will achieve once fully healed and swelling is completely down. I'm super happy with the outcome!

You look amazing!! I know what you mean- it's so strange to look in the mirror and not recognize yourself but now you are seeing the new and improved you! Congrats! :)
Thanks! Yea once you get past the swelling part it's so awesome!
Part of the reason I am about to back out 2 days to go is exactly that reason! I'm afraid y new nose will make me look so different.
It only TEMPORARILY makes you look different!!! Don't back out if it's something you 100% want and have researched! When you are so swollen the first week after surgery, you look totally different but if you are having a subtle change, people won't even notice it because you will definitely still look like yourself after a couple of weeks! Trust me, not a single person has noticed my new nose. I didn't plan to tell my brother but ended up telling him at the last minute and when he saw me after my surgery even he said he didn't think he would have noticed if I hadn't told him! I know it's really scary- especially 2 days before surgery but you will be great! :)
Ok wow that REALLY helps. Especially because it is exactky my brother who I'm worried about. And my in-laws. I have a wedding two months after... Do you think that will be a problem?
By two months, you will for sure be fine to go to a wedding. I went back to work after 2 weeks and no one noticed anything but I was still self-conscious. Now, 1 month post-op, my swelling has gone down significantly and I don't worry about people noticing anymore. Good luck!!!
I think you looked great before but even better now! Just a nice subtle change. Do u have extensions or use latisse your lashes are great! Pretty pretty girl!
Thanks so much! Everyone is so sweet on here :) I have lash extensions on in one of my pics ;)
well your welcome all the comments are true, prettyvgirl! Ive always wanted to try lash extensions how long do they last? do u do them your self or get them done?
I had them done professionally. They can lash for about a month and the you will want to get them filled to keep up with natural lash fall out. They are a bit of work to care for and keep up with but they are very fun to have :)
good to know! thanks they look very pretty
