It's been a year and roughly eight months & I love my results. I must say that at first I was afraid I'd come off as superficial & shallow to my family/friends, so I kind of told everyone that the procedure was to improve my breathing (half true). My boyfriend (who patiently nursed me back to health after my surgery) joked the other day about my "nose job" to which I replied "No... it was to fix my breathing!" saw through it and said "It's fine, you can admit it... it looks good." Haha, to which I remained silent, by default admitting my guilt. I'm actually really glad that it's out in the open now. Although I'm pretty sure some can definitely see a change. I love that it still looks natural and belongs to my face. Anyways, I'm so happy I did it, and so very glad I chose Dr. Pontell.

I am so glad I had a revision rhinoplasty & that I chose Dr. Pontell. I was always so self conscious of my "beak" in pictures, as my sister would call it. Here are a few before & afters. Everyday I feel the swelling going down. Again, I have an asymmetric face so I didn't expect to come out with a completely different "perfect" nose. (I knew this was not achievable with what I was giving him to work with) I was fuller on one side and Dr. Pontell was very up front with me about it. I said I just wanted a better version of myself and that he absolutely delivered. Thank you so much Dr. Pontell!!

I actually use this app called "True Mirror". Apparently I found out that a regular camera does not show what you really look like in real life, so these pictures are actually taken through this app.

I know my after nose doesn't look anything spectacular, but to me is does. Having been plagued with a misshaped/crazy looking nose all my life, this has been a great improvement. Again, I did not want to look like anyone but an improved version if myself. Trust me, I'd looooove to have an Angelina Jolie nose-- but for one, it's not natural to my ethnic background, and let's face it, I'm not as genetically lucky, lol. (I've gladly accepted this!) Hence why surgery should not be so frowned down upon.

I'm so happy for you. I had one done by Dr. Pontell 3 weeks ago, and I'm still swollen and not sure yet.

Hello findinghappy! 3 weeks is still very early in the process. I think it takes a year for most of the swelling to go down. It's been about 9 months for me and I still can feel slight numbness on my tip. Hang in there! Be patient, I'm sure you're going to look great. You were definitely in good hands!
