Hey guys! I haven't updated in a minute so figured I should.
My nose has healed substantially, if not, completely. In my second to last visit with Dr. G ( Jan '17) he gave me a steroid shot on the tip of my nose, I had a lot of swelling. That drastically brought my nose's shape into final fruition, it became so fine and just ...beautiful. I love it. Yes, I have uneven nostrils but who is going to look at my nostrils?! lol The only way one can catch it is if I am laughing and throw my head back. One other thing, the cartilage between my nostrils has become more pronounced, at first, I disliked it but now I see it as definition. I did have this prior to the surgery so it's nothing the MD did and at first that's what I thought until going through pics and seeing that I did indeed inherit my father's butt-nose. Lol Overall, I am happy. I am proud of myself too, I was so afraid at first and I am glad I was able to overcome the fear to do something that I really wanted to do. This has drastically impacted my confidence. So gals, if you're scared, I don't blame you, do your research, go with someone that makes you feel comfortable and sure of your decision! If you have any hesitation, hold off, maybe you're not ready yet or you haven't found the right surgeon.
Chau!

6 months Post-Op
It's been six months since surgery. Overall, I am happy with the results. Sure, I have some complaints; my nostrils are not even, the projection of my nose can seem too prominent for my small face, the front-view of my nose is not appealing to me, BUT I am happy regardless. I try not to focus on those aspects of my results because the insecurities begin to grow and grow. I am grateful to have a much better nose than My God gifted honker I was born with. I can't even look at old pictures without cringing.
Anyway, I decided to have no additional surgeries to "fix" my issues with my nose. I can breathe so much better than before, I love my profile's swoop, and overall I feel like one beautiful woman. Dr. G is a great surgeon, he has a great and attentive bed side manner, and I would recommend him to others. Yes, he's not perfect but who is? I was very realistic going into this so when I see imperfections, I remind myself that I knew what the possible repercussions could be.
Anyone out there contemplating rhinoplasty, I say, do it. It's your nose, you're going to suffer the pain for it but when you're done, you'll be so glad and proud that you did it. I know I am.

Thank you for updating us. You look pretty
Why don't you like the front view of your face??
I feel like it makes me look "dopey". I don't know how to describe it but my nostrils are really bulby on the sides and my bridge is straight down so it looks funny to me.
Otherwise, I'm feeling myself ! Lol.
Lol!! Well , I think you look great. I think because he took the bridge down a lot your nose became wider and nostrils widened more and that's what you're seeing. Your nose was more narrow because height, and overall length was longer from front. Very dominant middle eastern features like myself . If he would have left more length from the front , I think you would have been "feeling yourself " more ;-) but I really like this nose on you , it fits your face :-) I really like the dessert pic, and the club pic. you can really see the nose clearly in those photos. It's a great result
Thanks, sweetie! I am getting cheek fillers with Juvederm ultra plus XC. I cant wait to see how my face's width will change. I'll create an entirely new post for this procedure.
Have you had your nose done yet?

I think you look very pretty, I don't think you look like avatar, but imagine after 3 more months, your nose will be tiny. I really like your results! your nose looks very natural!
congratulations and thank you for updating us

Thank you, I love it ! I'm hoping my projection of my tip reduces a bit in the coming months.
Love your results, Congrats! Did you notice improved air flow since he corrected your deviated septum, Or is that not noticeable?
Oh, big time! I still have a lot of gunk in there because of the healing process but I can breathe much better than before. I am counting on it being far greater than this once I am completely healed.
Wow your new nose makes you uncannily resemble Tatiana Maslany from Orphan Black. Congrats, you look great! :)
