WORTH IT$7,400
I haven't updated in awhile, so thought I would post for those who wonder about longer term results.
I can tell my nose is not done with the swelling, I would say about 20% left to go and most of it is in the tip. My tip is still pretty hard to the touch and I can't really crinkle my nose all the way. It's also still a little lifted a the tip, and my results should be a straight nose. Dr. Torkian noted that early on the tip would look a bit lifted. It's not very noticeable tho.
I also notice my male is more swollen in the morning still, but dissipates through out the day.
Overall still super happy with my results and can't wait to see what it's like at the year mark!

6 Weeks Post-Op
NoseandchinJanuary 3, 2014
Well, I'm just about 6 weeks post-op and still happy with everything!
The swelling and numbness in my chin has gone down so much. There is still some heightened sensitivity on my left lower lip and chin, but the sensation is definitely returning to normal and it no longer gets sore from smiling or talking! woohoo!
My nose consistently fluctuates with swelling. In the morning it is much bigger than it is by afternoon. I can see the tip becoming a bit more refined as well, though the differences are minor.
The bridge of my nose is also still a bit swollen. But nothing that looks odd as it was right after surgery, I just personally know that my nose is wider than it should be.
I don't see that much a difference in my photos from week 4 till now, its really hard to capture the slight differences unless you have great lighting! I'll post a few more pics in a few weeks when the change is a bit more noticeable.

Wow your results are amazing. That's what I wanted, but I don't know the hell my surgeron did to my nose. Its carved at the bridge, it looks ridiculous. I went to a place that is so dishonest and just wants your money! You got very lucky :)

I have a similar tip and profile as you. Your nose turned out awesome. It fits your face really well. Very natural looking. I can't wait for my rhino in May. Congrats. ;)

Your results are amazing! Did you have the chin implant done from the inside of your mouth or under your chin??

Your review was very detailed and I thank you for your review as it is very helpful to me. Your nose looks great! I do notice a slight difference in your chin. It's a little difficult to tell as your pictures are a little zoomed in. In terms of rhinoplasty, you paid $7500 or was it $5500 apart from the chin implant?

Thanks! Yah sorry I don't want to show my entire face so It zooms in a bit much. I'll try to post something better, but yes the difference is very slight! Both procedures total cost $7500.

I am 16 days post rhino and chin implant.
I was more concerned about the chin being big and manly, and thought I wouldn't worry about my nose so much...however my chin went down in a week and now it's "normal" and I'm so pleased with it.
I currently dislike my nose as I got a lot of tip work and reduction in over protected shape. It's so swollen. It's so obvious. But reading your reviews I know it's all about patience. Although it's hard at times. I'm back to work in a few days. I may dye my hair and cut a fringe for a while so that makes me look different and not my swollen nose!!
