I cannot believe that it has been 14 months!!! I am thrilled with the results and cannot thank Dr. G enough. Of course, there are the occasional days that I wake up with a puffy, swollen, crooked-looking nose and think "Oh no... It's ruined!" but that is once in a blue moon!!

Questions - PLEASE ANSWER (:

Hey everyone! So I just have a few questions/concerns (again... I know, I'm sorry!) I am about to hit the four months mark. These last two weeks my tip has been very "fat" and back to being bulby... Is this still swelling? It was so cute and teeny for three weeks straight just a few weeks ago :'( I'm concerned about this... Is there anything I can do... Thank you.

Could be fluctuating swelling or could be scar tissue. I would email your doctor asap. Let us know what happens.

I sure hope it isn't scar tissue! Is it common for scar tissue to appear in the upper tip of the nose at four months post-op??

Don't worry, it probably isn't. My nose also looks different from week to week. Swelling, edema, bone calluses can really change a lot.

Has the weather changes were you lived?
November 9, 2015
Changed
November 9, 2015
Yes - got VERY cold and windy

I had two surgeries and both times the swelling was on and off where one week my nose looked amazing and the next it didn't. Icing it always helped where I would ice it for a few mins and it would shrink. alcohol consumption, salt and spicy food will affect this as well.

I think I've been eating lots of salty food, was visiting Boston and I think their seafood is very salty
November 9, 2015
I think it is a combination of the weather and the salty food. You will be pretty again in a couple of days. Drink a lot of water too

You look so pretty with your nose! Seriously !

It doesn't look like those last few photos anymore... It's gotten very puffy and fat at the tip. Have been waiting over a week now for it to return to how perfect it was... Hasn't changed at all.

Good evening everyone!

I hope you have all been having an amazing time (and for those of you in your recovery stage, I hope you are healing well and know that you will be absolutely in love with your results!!)

I just wanted to "check-in" and show you how my nose has been for the last month and a half. Honestly, there were some bad days, but not many!! I am so head over heels in love with my result... I never imagined it being this wonderful. I hate to sound conceited, but my nose was such an issue to me before and for it to finally be something I actually feel confident showing off is just incredible. I am so immensely blessed to be where I am right now.

If any of you have questions or concerns, please message me. I'd love to help you with your decisions/progress.

I love your results!! you look so much prettier!! It looks so natural
October 23, 2015
Thank you so so soon much. I absolutely love it too. Shocked at how natural it looks even though it is SO different!!
October 23, 2015
I am sorry to ask. Do you have thick or thin skin? I have thick skin and I wonder if these amazing results can be achieved only with thin skin
October 23, 2015
Let me tell you - I have some of the thickest skin my Doc had ever worked on! Don't worry at all!!!
October 23, 2015
Results are looking good !
Im 3 months post op and have my days where I worry about a slight dent where my old hump was on which I can only see on some angles and can feel. My question is, how is your dent issue?
October 23, 2015
Do not worry about it! I had very strange things, including dents and bumps and even "ridges", all of which have slowly gone away. Just let your nose do its thing! Soon enough it will be just the way you want it!!

can I ask if your surgery was open or closed?
October 23, 2015
Closed!! (:
October 23, 2015
Looks amazing! So natural yet small and pinched in. Dr G did an amazing job.
October 23, 2015
He really did. I am so thankful for his expertise. Couldn't imagine a better nose or a better doctor! Thank you for all your sweet comments!
