16 months Vs 2 years post.
WORTH IT
They say that it takes 2 years to see your final results with rhinoplasty.
Don't believe me?
Well here is 16 months post Vs 2 years post.
I'll see how my nose continues to change (if at all) as I have more post facelift photos taken through this year.

What a beautiful result - it actually looked perfect at 16 months , but now looks more perfect :) you have a stunning profile !

Thanks Smaug.
I love that new profile especially as without the hump in the way it's opened up my field of vision too!

Absolutely stunning results from LI. I will definitely be seeing him some time this year for RR! I can see how the tip is slightly more uplifted in the 2 year post and looks precisely how a beautifully natural nose should look!

He's done a really good job on my nose and I chose him because that is his known field of expertise.
It is funny because in the first year I did think that I missed that slightly more raised tip that I saw when I had my cast off. Now it is back and (I think) looking nice and natural.

Hi Katwin. I've seen your facial profiles, side and full frontal on your posts, and your nose looks great to me. Maybe pics don't show whatever problem is, but since your RR with Dominic, I think you look wonderful. Have you retained the fuller look on your face now that you are a few months down the line?

Hi Facefund, It will be 6 months at the beginning of March since my lower face and necklift with Dominic and I will do another review then. As Dominic does not do Rhinoplasty Revisions, I will have a consultation later with Lucien Ion where BieneMaya had her rhinoplasty. I had my primary rhinoplasty 10 years ago to remove a hump on the bridge, but it left me with a deviated septum, open bridge and completely different sized nostrils. I will almost certainly need a rib graft to close the bridge and I just hope Lucien Ion can work a miracle.. :D

Hi Katwin. Gosh, none of that shows up on photos and you look just great. Hope it all works out with Lucion Ion. X

Hi there! This morning, after spending the past year assessing surgeon reviews on RealSelf, I contacted both Tahery and Ion to book consultations. Having narrowed it down to those two, I'm now compiling my questions list to take to the consultations and you have been so helpful with all the advice you posted here but I was wondering if you needed any grafts during your surgery? Apologies, if you have already answered this one!

Hi Summertan thank you for your pm but computer glitch means I am unable to answer pms.It is costing me £9000 if I get rib graft and my op is at 4.45pm.i may see you?Good luck x

Hi 963tal, I'm first on the list that morning and I should be discharged late afternoon. Maybe you can pop in and see me :D

Ha! I found an old profile nose pic!
In my search of pictures for another of my threads (where I had to prove I'm not fat, I just had a fat face!) I found this photo.
I worked with my photographer friend and they directed me to move my head so that the full splendour of my nose wasn't showing in profile, but you can still see that it is humped, not sloped.

!!!SUPER important regarding eating before surgery!!!
On another topic I follow I have seen people talking about eating the morning of their op (when they shouldn't be). Let me share this with you. I'm going to post it on all of my surgical threads because I think it is SUPER important.
........................
If they say "Nil by mouth" from a certain time before your surgery then OBEY!
DON'T EAT, DON'T DRINK!
If you don't follow the rules you run the risk of vomiting/regurgitation under anaesthesia or pulmonary aspiration (where you breathe in your own vomit) which can lead to MASSIVE problems like, well, oh, I don't know, bradycardia leading to cardiac arrest, brain damage and death!
The risk is twice as common among elective surgical cases as we aren't ill, can be blasé about our instructions and eat or drink when have been told not to!
Don't make your surgical experience any more difficult than it need be.

People that seem like responsible adults that decide to have surgery should be smart enough not to eat or drink before... Same goes for drinking alcohol or smoking. (But that seems even harder to not obey?)

I guess some people don't really realise the dangers. They know they shouldn't do it but they don't know why.
Even my own Mother was trying to insist that her morning cuppa wouldn't hurt. "No, Mum, no!" I told her why they say "nil by mouth" and then she understood.
When you personally know medical staff and have seen them emotionally and physically drained just after battling to save the life of someone who didn't follow simple instructions it makes it all far more real.

Far better than the original Quentin Blake nose I had originally and then at 16 months it was a bit droopy, but now it's raised back to how I like it.
I'm a sweller, so healing probably took longer for me than others. I tend to swell more on hot days so I think that is why I was puffy in my first and second summer post rhinoplasty...
