Worth it!
WORTH IT$2,300
Well, it's been long since my rhino. I always forget of that fact. Why? Because my nose is perfectly imperfect. It's also not small and obviously operated on. It's my birth nose but just a tad smaller. It doesn't take over my face as before. I love it. I did want a small nose when I was looking to get the surgery. I wanted that perfect little Hollywood nose. But I'm so glad I didn't end up with that. Because i love myself now and what God has created me like. As you can see in my pictures, I also grew out my natural hair color. It's the little things...
Praise be to God. For all his wonderful creations. For allowing me to still be here, with all of my body parts, healthy and living. For allowing me to see how blessed I am. Blessed. In this unperfect body. Full of stretch marks, bruises, scars... Enjoying this life, blessed.
It's time to stop searching for this unattainable body. It's time to stop wishing. It's time to start seeing how blessed I am. And you are too.

the more I read the reviews...
The more evident it becomes that depression, regret and worries are typical post-op "symptoms" after rhinoplasty. I think it's fair to say most should stay away from the camera and mirror until at least one month out.

Hey. After having your surgery quite a while ago now, surely it still doesn't swell up now does it? I'm goin under the knive in mind months and am planning on having a very busy summer and don't like the sound of the long term on and off swelling? Are there many other cons post op and months after? Btw u look stunning
June 19, 2013
Actually I still swell! It happens during sleeping and ill have a swollen nose for about 3.hrs after getting it of bed. But it really depends on your body-I'm very prone to retaining water and it's become very noticeable on my nose after my rhinoplasty. Taping your nose helps a lot! It prevents from it.swelling overnight.. I def.recommend doing it even long after your surgeon tells you its okay to stop.
The only con I have is the frequent runny nose, which I've read plenty of other post-op patients deal with. But it's not something that will make me regret the surgery.
Thankk you! Recovery is difficult, very frustrating but worth it. The first week will be the toughest I recommend you try not obsses looking in the mirror during the that time!- wish you the best on your recovery on your upcomimg surgery,,and don't forget you have us plus the ask a doc section for anything you might need some info or opinions in:)

Hallo. You nose is great. Can I ask you something? I had my nose job last 15th Feb (4 months) and my nostrils are very big and you can see them very well from side and front. Did you have the same? do they go down? Thank you!!!
June 19, 2013
Thank you:))
At 4 months you are still most likely swollen but should have an idea of what your final appearance will be. Are you still taping your nose? I would tape my nose with my nostrils pretty much shut together for hours at a time. Fresh out of.surgery the taping really helps your nose settle into its final look. My nostrils are visible (just like in the pics)but not too much that I feel uncomfortable with. But let me tell you, after surgery my first thought after looking in the mirror was "what the helldid i do?!" Try not to worry too much, give it a two more months for your nose to settle a bit more.

Hi again. Sorry but what do you mean with taping your nose?? Today I went out with a very good friend of mine and she thinks my retracted nostrils will stay like this because the nose was too much shortened eventhough the profile is fine. I booked a visit to another doc for the 2nd week of sept..will see.

Thank you! Yes my nostrils are a bit visible from the front and it definitely took some getting used too! They are a bit smaller than they were naturally, however.
It's been a few months since you posted this, sorry to be getting back so late! How is your nose progressing??
June 22, 2013
Wowowow your nose looks beautiful!!!!! Super natural I absolutely love love love it!
June 26, 2013
wow your nose was sorta cute before and now it's just perfect for you. You have this quality some girls have where they can look like different ethnicities depending on their hair or makeup which is very lucky. Your nose is absolutely perfect for your face. I also have a wide nose naturally and I want to achieve something as great as yours but for my face.
June 26, 2013
Thanks!! My hair totally changes me lol yes I feel like.its still my nose just smaller. I like it much. I don't think a very small nose would suit me at.all, that's one of the things my surgeon told me. When are you planning your surgery?
June 26, 2013
Well I have a small face so I think a smaller nose would suit me better than it would you since your face shape is different. My surgery is booked for August 1st, I hope I can get a perfect shape like you. I'm thinking of Elizabeth Taylor's proportions. I just hope it fits me like it fits you
