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.

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.

Really enjoyed my consultation with Dr. Pontell. Despite being nervous about everything, I felt very comfortable with him and loved that he showed various photos of similar noses. His experience and previous work impressed me. It took some time to think things over but I finally decided to choose him as my surgeon. So far things are looking great. I'm still getting used to the new nose but my experience with Dr. Pontell has been satisfactory!
