Quick update. :)

I'm at 2 months post op. Swelling still seems puffy in the tip but every week gets better and better. Just some quick photos for reference.

Looking great! :)

Thank you! I hope things are going well with you! Did you decide on a revision surgeon yet?
December 19, 2013
Haven't yet chosen a surgeon - will likely book a follow up with Pontell sometime in January. Met a local surgeon last month and am meeting with him again tomorrow. I will probably consult with another doctor or two as well. I just HAVE to get it right this time - so I am being super thorough and cautious. Can't imagine living through another year like this last one.. happy holidays to you!! :)

Updated photos as promised, taken last week. Again, the swelling continues to decrease.,. I am really loving my new nose. I am so glad I went with Dr. Pontell! I have a follow up appointment this week and am going to thank him so much! My breathing is significantly better! The few weeks after surgery were quite emotional. I can now say most of that was due to excessive swelling. Just another reviewer saying be patient. :) Good things will come. So glad I did this!

Things are still improving. The swelling in my tip is getting better and better each day. I blew my nose for the first time this week which helped with breathing. I'm really loving my new profile. The only issue I have (which I am positive is related to swelling) is my front view. My left nostril seems to be somewhat lower than the right nostril. I'm sure I'm the only one that notices it though. I noticed that each nostril is still distinct from the other. My left one has always been more fatty and less refined than the right nostril. I really don't mind the shape of the nostril. I just hope things even out with the height as more swelling goes down. Overall, I'm happy with things and I know to expect more change in the upcoming months. I'll post photos sometime soon.

My nose is still changing somewhat almost 8 months out. If you like what you are seeing now you can sit back and enjoy improvements as the weeks go by. Soo happy for you!!! Thanks so much for ypur updates! My consult with Dr. Pontell is coming up this month. :)
November 2, 2013
That's good to hear! I don't mind waiting... it's kind of like opening up a present each month, haha! And very cool on the consultation. I felt like I had all the time in the world with Dr. Pontell during my first appointment. You'll be amazed at his database of noses! Let me know how it goes. :)

You look great! I bet you're thrilled :) My nostrils are a little uneven too. Doc said he made the septoplasty incisions on that side so that's why it's more swollen. I've already made the decision to BE HAPPY with what I've got even if there are some very very minor asymmetries which may or may not be permanent.

I totally agree with Rosarita. You look great! My nostrils are a little uneven too, and I'm pretty sure swelling contributes a little to that. However, like Rosarita says, I have already made the decision to be happy, regardless of the minor imperfections that may of may not get better. This attitude Has helped me To be patient and i wish the same for you. Yet, with what I can tell from your pictures, you have lots to be happy about. Your doc did great work. Happy healing nariz chula. My guess is Dominican, lol.

Thanks ladies, it really does help to hear from you both. Trust me, it's not very noticeable unless I point it out to others. Plus, we are all still so early in the healing stages so our "minor" asymmetries may improve over the next few months. Overall, it's been a vast improvement and there are just so many more angles I am happy with now. Thanks for the support, it really means a lot to hear how you ladies are doing!
