5 Month Mark

Oops, I forgot the pic of the nose when I'm smiling.
Just to be consistent for those who maybe interested.

5 Month Mark

Hello You Realself Lovelies,
I hope 2016 has been better for you all. It's been sad what's going on for celebs. R.I.P. for those we have lost so far...
I wanted to give you all an update on my nose. It's been awhile and I'm so sorry for those I haven't responded to. I promise I'm not that rude. I had a lot happen all at once with work and school and...well...I apologize.
But, I did see Dr. Hamilton about 2 weeks ago. He said things were coming along nicely and gave me some steroid injections because he said I still had swelling. I really like this man. I asked him how far along I was (because naively, I think I'm all healed) and he was said I was ~50% still swollen.
I said "50%?! But everyone I look at online is like at the 70% stage by now." He says "You need to look at people with YOUR skin to make a measurement. You supposed to read Jet not Cosmo." Dead dead dead. So that's the professional verdict. These pics are at 5 months with 50% swelling plus injection shots plus the nasal exercises I've been ordered to do. I will say that I do finally see a difference. I won't lie...I'mma still get him in Nov about perhaps another alar base reduction if the sides don't come down much more but I'm going to trust the process.

Blessing upon blessing to all of you.

2 Months

Hey Everyone!
I hope you all have been well. I have been waiting patiently to get to a milestone mark with my rhinoplasty and share the pics. I'm now at 2 months post op (well, close enough!).
I don't know if I see a difference in swelling yet. I have vacillated between asking for a reduction in my nares when I see Dr. Hamilton next month or not.
*correction, I would ask if he would reduce them after a year, not to actually perform it when I saw him).
Not much pain anymore. I did have a moment with taking off my sports bra I hit my nose and it really smarted. So I know there is still a lot of healing to go. I try not to obsess about my nose like I did before. I'm letting it do it's thing. Some days, I really like it, other days, I want my nares reduced. Other days, I don't even think about it. Very weird.
Anyway, I hope these are helpful for anyone thinking of Dr. Hamilton. To be honest, my nose looks amazing. I really think he has a gift for this. I want the exact nose that I have just a TAD smaller. I'm hoping that as the year goes it will get smaller. If it does, I think I'll be fine. If not, then maybe another alar base reduction and then I will hopefully be done!

Take care you lovely realselfers. I hope the year has been amazing for you all so far. If Dr. Hamilton gives me professional before/after at the 3 month mark when I see him, I'll post them here.
