You look fantastic!! WOW! I had a nose job like 12 years ago and going through your pics and comments brought back so many memories. It takes forever with the nose but you really look great! Enjoy it!

Thanks so much for your nice comment. It does seem to take forever with the nose. Think it will be worth it. : )

Beautiful! Do you still have any numbness? Pulling? Any issues to watch out for? So happy you came back to update with photos! :-

HI there! Thanks so much. Yes, I do still have a little numbness on the sides of my face but mostly gone. How are you feeling?

Some disappointment. Eyelids are sagging on eyelashes (brow lift should have been tighter I think) and mouth creases are so annoying after going through fat transfer and the painful laser. Love my nose! No more tip pointing to the right and bulge on the left. Had the same incision that you did. So glad your procedures look perfect!

Sorry I hate that! It's hard when our expectations don't match the outcome.

Have a follow up appointment this Thursday so hoping to talk it over and see where we can go from here. Meeting up for lunch afterwards with two other local RealSelf ladies to compare notes. We all went to different doctors so should be interesting.

Thanks for photo journaling all of this! You look great and that is encouraging. Only on day 6 post op here. I had breathing problems due to a deviated septum (plus other twists and turns) so the septoplasty was very complicated. Also had rhinoplasty to make nose more refined, mini-lower facelift (my incision did not go up beyond my ear) and upper lid blepharoplasty for hooded lids. I also did this for my 50th bday! At this point my face is still yellow and purple and swollen. Biggest complaint is congestion/not being able to breathe. Did you have that issue early on? Thanks for sharing your journey and posting authentic photos. Your outcome is beautiful. I hope mine turns out as well!

Yes, I had congestion for many months - I'm almost at 6 months and it's gone now. You're really early in your recovery but it will be so worth it!! Keep me posted...

You look great! Make sure to wait a year for any corrections because you still have diffuse swelling everywhere and it actually “puffs” everything up. You’ll get a better idea of what needs to be still redone after that swelling comes down.

Hi! You look fantastic!!! I'm considering Dr. Bridges for a revision rhinoplasty as well. I'm curious if you're still happy with your nose now that it has been a few years. Thanks!

Still very happy with the outcome - I think my nose is still swollen, it's still a little stiff, the incisions look great

You are beautiful! Love your neck, jaw line and nose! Your nose looks great and doesn’t look swollen to me, then again I don't know you. I am 51 and am going to have a platysmaplasty and lower face-lift lift in a couple of weeks... I hope I have results like yours! :(

I think your jawline and neck look so much firmer and tighter. Definitely, makes you look more youthful. Thank-you for sharing your progress with photos. Much appreciated! It's been helpful to me. I'm also 50 yrs old and having a facelift/necklift/upper bleph on 10/31/16 and am very excited! I posted my review on RS.
