4 months post op

4 months post op and still loving it! I can notice subtle changes that I'm sure nobody else can, like sometimes from the front it looks more refined than other times. The part of skin in between the nostrils (where he cut) still feels weird if I touch it but not much and it's slowly going away.

I'm 3.5 weeks post op and still feeling good! I am pressing and holding certain parts of my nose every day like the surgeon said. The biggest annoyance is my skin! At first my nose was peeling when I got the cast off so I washed it with some scrub for oily skin but then it over-dried it so now my nose and cheeks are super dry and gross. My nose only hurts when I do the pressing but otherwise is fine. The skin where he cut in between the nostrils is still a little numb but from what I've read it sounds like that gradually goes away. I'm really happy with my surgeon, he did exactly what he said he was going to do. I still have some swelling in the tip and on the sides I can see some days my nose looks crooked from the front view but after I do the pressing and contouring it looks straight again, and the bone is straight but as the swelling changes so does the appearance. All in all very happy with the results!

Hey looking great! Can you post some front and side views of you smiling? My nose is long like yours was and seems to "point down" when I smile. I am wondering what it looks like with a smile now that you have had surgery. Can you please post some photos so I can see the front and side view smiling? Thank you!

I had rhinoplasty but wasn’t instructed to do the pressing and massages I wonder why? Do you think it helped? What week post op did you start this?

The pressing did help with the swelling I had at the time but I’m not sure if it actually had any effect on the long term results. I can’t remember what week I started doing it, sorry!

No worries! I know it was a while ago. I am very happy with my results and Dr. Parfitt as well. :)
