Almost a Year Later!
Hi guys just a quick little update.
I guess overall I am happy with my surgeries. I almost feel like it wasn't worth it though. After I got the surgeries done I went through a bit of depression because it didn't fix things or make me look like I imagined it would. I think I really needed to work on myself inside rather than outside.
Here are are pics I took about a week ago. I love the overall shape of my new nose, but some of my chicken pock scar is still there and I may go back to see if it can be made to look smaller. I can also feel a ridge of uneven-ness on the bridge of my nose. It is only noticeable in certain lighting and I haven't talked to my surgeon about it.
After looking back on my pics, I can see that my nose tip swelling went down a lot and I am happy with it, except that my nose droops a bit when I smile.
Anyway hope you all are doing well! Hugs to those of you in recovery :)

It was my skin
Hi guys. It's been a few more weeks and I can finally say I am really happy with my nose. I think what was making me feel so down before was the fact that my skin was breaking out REALLY badly. I guess analyzing things I felt like I spent all this money on surgery to feel better about myself and I still felt ugly because of my skin.
I feel like most of the swelling and bulbous-ness has gone down so that has made me feel better too. Here are a few pics.

Still Up and Down
I have lost track of how many weeks post-op I am (maybe 7-ish?) I still have moments of up and down-- I think I kind of wish my nose was a little sharper if that makes since? My tip and columnella still feel a little swollen but I don't think that the reduction in swelling will make THAT big of a difference.
Sometimes I feel great and love my new nose, sometimes I feel like it looks just as bad as my old one and sometimes I wish I had just not had the surgery.
After I had the surgery I fell in love with the results of a different surgeon and now I can't help but wonder how my nose would have looked if I had gone to that surgeon. Don't get me wrong, I think my surgeon did a great job, but there are a few things I think could be improved upon-- namely that from the side the tip still looks very bulbous in my opinion.
One other factor that is getting in the way of me loving my new nose is the fact that my skin is still breaking out. It is getting a little better but it is hard to love how my face looks right now with lots of spots all over the place.
These feelings about my nose pretty much sum up how I am feeling about my other procedures. Breast Augmentation: I love the shape but feel like they are just a little to big for my frame. I think I should have gone with a 300cc instead.
Bellybutton: I know my hernia is fixed, which has also helped how my stomach feels (it doesn't feel like my organs are spilling out anymore). However, I guess the skin was stretched out from being like that for two and a half years so there is still a little extra skin there which makes it look like a partial outie. Not a huge deal, but I just wish that I could have my old belly button again (from before I got pregnant).
I don't mean to sound full of complaints. I think that overall I am happy with the results, but it is nice to have a place to air my grievances. Maybe this is just part of the healing process?
