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.

You are very beautiful! Also before the operation. I am going in december. Would love to spend a lot of time in here but as a single mum I do not have the time. Can I ask you a question? Is it only the tip which has been corrected? And what about the bridge? Did you have a lot of pain after operation? Thanks, br Dorthe

Thank you Dorthe! I had my tip corrected and the small bump on my nose shaved down a bit. There was not much pain in my nose afterward unless someone touched it or bumped it.

Your nose looks fabulous!!! I'm 3 weeks post op and dealing with the whole "swollen round tip" thing. I wanted to ask you about the breast implants. I really wanted to get them with my rhinoplasty but just decided to wait. I do still want them but am scared of the surgery/ recovery. How was it compared to your rhinoplasty ? Easier or harder? Also, are you happy now with the size you chose? I'm 5'7 116 lbs so we are very similar in weight/ height. Thanks :)

Hi Standard Lover,
I'm not sure how to compare my recovery. The BA was a LOT more painful but the nose surgery was uncomfortable. I also did not want to leave the house with the nose cast on so I think the BA is easier in that respect. I felt, and still feel that I went a little too big. My surgeon had me try on and analyze the sizers from the front and they look good that way, however if you look at me from the side I feel like they make me look a little top heavy. Anyway, congrats on your new nose and good luck with your BA!

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?

I feel what you're going through. Sometimes I feel the same way about my revision and think my nose is still huge and the tip is bulbous. But other times I say it's a big improvement after all. I think your nose is small and cute and it will get better after all the swelling is down.
