WORTH IT
I figured I would post a final review of the entire process. My nose was never a focal point of my face, post surgery. It just looked like “my” nose, one that I was born with and was harmonious with the rest of my features. It doesn’t look “done” or perfect, but it is perfect for me and I absolutely love it. Dr Samaha is the only surgeon I would trust with such an important structural and esthetic part of my face!

when did you feel like you saw your final result without swelling??

Honestly, Dr Samaha told me that after 2 weeks the majority of the swelling would go away but I would say about 70% of it goes away after that time. That last 30% took a while for me, I saw maybe a 95% reduction after 6 months and then I’d say 100% after a year. I suspect swelling decreases faster in the winter time too. But keep in mind I had ZERO definition in my tip, so it was very swollen after the surgery. I still swear that my nose gets better with time ahaha.

Oh gosh, the salt swelling is real. Exercising also made my nose more swollen!

I just had my last follow-up appointment, and I was reminded again of how amazing this whole process has been. Dr Samaha is a gifted surgeon, and his staff is also phenomenal. The service provided was above and beyond what I expected, especially considering the very reasonable cost of surgery. My nose looks very similar to the projected result, and I am SO SO SO happy with it. There is still swelling, but it really does not bother me at all.
If anyone is thinking about going in for a consultation, I really urge you to go! You will not regret it.

P.S. I will post my before/after pictures when I receive them!

It's been almost 4 months since my surgery, and I am SO SO SO happy with the result. I have seen a dramatic decrease in tip swelling, although it is still a little bit swollen (I can feel it when I touch my nose). Patience really is key after a rhinoplasty. My nostrils were swollen every day so my nose looked so different depending on the day, but now it looks much more symmetrical and consistent. I absolutely love it.

Aww, that so wonderful to hear! Your nose really does look amazing, your doctor did an incredible job. You're probably still going to see subtle changes and more definition up to one year....I did, it just kept getting better and better. ☺
