So, its been a LONG time and I apologize for anyone that has wrote to me on here and asked questions. I have been extremely busy with work and to be honest... I have been a little depressed with how everything has turned out now.
It has been a little over 10 months since my procedure and I just kept hoping that the things I was noticing would go away or change for the better but they haven't. But let me just say that I have known from the very beginning not to expect perfection because you will be disappointed. But for the 1st couple weeks after the procedure I was BEYOND happy with the results. I never thought that I would be happy so early after it and I also assumed that it could only get better from there... But I was wrong.
I started noticing that there was still a bump on the bridge of my nose just a month or so post-op that was more to the right side than the left. Also, there is a slight indent directly under the bump so in pictures my nose looks crooked or broken I feel like.
I am so upset over it and don't know what to do. I definantly can not afford to have this done again. I have even attempted to meet with Dr. Epstein at his NY office just to get him to check up with me and give me some answers but everytime I schedule an appointment I have to cancel it because I just cant afford to take the time off from work. I used everything I had to do this and I am starting to question if it was the right decision.
I will add a photo or 2 soon, I am just so upset over it.

Wow, I can believe it has already been 3 weeks...
Wow, I can believe it has already been 3 weeks since my procedure! Sorry for not being able to update earlier than this but I have been non-stop since I got home from Miami. I have been working alot! My flight home went perfect! I didn't experience ANY extra swelling during or after the flight home, it was great. All I did was spray Afrin nasal spray 30 minutes before we departed and 10 minutes before we descended.
I am not sure how much more swelling I have but I don't feel like I have alot left. The only thing I notice is when I go to the gym, the inside of my nose swells up a bit still, I hoping that stops soon. But other than that, I don't have much to complain about! My breathing has much improved since the surgery which I am so grateful for. I posted a couple pictures that I JUST took, so excuse how awful I look :-/ I just got home from the gym and I'm exhausted.
Well, if anyone has any questions for me, PLEASE feel free to ask away or even PM me I will be happy to help!

Awesome results! Congratulations!! Dr. Epstein was one of my consults!! I LOVED him. If it weren't for my leg I would have definitely gone to Miami to have my procedure done. Its just hard for me to travel at the moment. But yea...he does really good work. So happy for you!!!

I'm still about a month away from my surgery with Epstein and I was just wondering if you had any suggestions or advice for preparing for before and after the surgery - I love looking at your pictures when you update :) it makes me excited and hopeful.

Finally the cast is off! Even though there is...
Finally the cast is off! Even though there is still swelling, I love it! I can honestly say that Dr. Epstein did an amazing job and listened to exactly what I wanted. I can't wait to see how it looks weeks from now. Today was the first time I looked in mirror and saw exactly how I always saw myself but pictures did not resemble.
Dr. Epstein and his staff were amazing. I never once had to wait in the waiting area, they always brought me right in. They called to check on me the day after and I had Dr. Epstein cell phone # in case I had a question or concern when the office was closed (which I did twice so i texted him and he answered me both times on the weekend). I couldn't have asked for a better experience. If I could change ONE thing, it would have been that I wish Dr. E had an office in Boston! Well, I get my stitches out tomorrow and then I get to go HOME finally :)
