Ethnic Rhinoplasty Healing Process - Murrieta, CA

I decided to post thesE pictures , I know it's kind of backward that I am posting them now but when I first started documenting my journey I wasn't too happy with the results, also my skin was bad after the surgery it was very oily and my pores were huge not to mention my face was puffy.

But now that my nose has come into itself I have them to compare to each other to see how far I've come. For anyone going through the early stages of recovery hang in there !! I remember like it was yesterday when I was stuck in the house I didn't want to go out or take pictures bc I hated my face but I had no choice I had to wait. I wish I enjoyed the journey more but I didn't know what I was looking forward to so I was a bit scared . Now u see my story be encouraged better days are yet to come. .. this too shall pass.

Love

hey everyone,
I just went over my journey in here seen the pix and read all of your comments and wanted to make a random update.

My nose continues to heal even after 2 years! My cormella still feels like it's still healing. When I put pressure on it doesn't feel healed completely. I think surgeons tell u it takes 1 year to fully heal to be safe, but it can continue to heal after that depending on how thick your skin is and how fast you heal. I believe there is still about 5% healing left and I don't know how long it will take to fully heal but it gets better with time. My cormella is less droopy and some days it's perfect. Anyway, hang in there, if I ran out & got a revision after 1 yr I wouldn't notice the changes I'm noticing now. Give your nose a chance to heal itself completely. I am happier with my nose everyday. Yes I still want those slight changes but to be realistic the type of nose I had wouldn't change after just 1 surgery. I have very thick skin and it's hard to shape it the way I want without looking like a Jackson (lol which is not what I want).I'm glad I did this surgery. I'm afraid I will end up with a nose I don't want if I get a revision for minor things, besides that's just vain.

Thanks to everyone for your love, support and kind words you truly helped make this journey a million times better. Good luck to anyone on their journey. Follow that gut feeling, it won't lead u wrong. If u don't feel the doctor don't go to them! If I can help anyone the everyone has helped me let me know. Keep spreading the love guys, it's awesome.

Love you all

Dee??

I seen my surgeon for the last and final time 3 days ago and I addressed my concerns he said that he did the best work he can possibly do on my type of nose without having to break my nasal bone.

I am not going to lie, I can't see myself going under the knife again I just wish I was 100% happy like some people on here are. Nevertheless, I am so much happier with my new nose than I was with my old. I pray that it continues to heal into itself. My only concern is the droopy cormella, he said he didn't touch that part of my nose except for the incision and a procedure to it would make it look piggy (which I feel that's what I look like now). Looking at original pictures I do see thick but not droopy maybe bc the nostrils were pushed so closely that it created that effect, but I believe and trust he did do his best. That's the most I can ask for.

If I knew last year that the results would be what they are now I would have looked into another surgeon if it meant I would get exactly what I want, afterall I did pay for it. But like Beyonce and he says "perfection is the disease of the nation" so I will just be happy with what I have. I had seen extreme cases of procedure gone wrong and I am just glad I am not one.

Last remarks for anyone who wants to get this done, do your research! See as many doctors as u can, look at a lot of the work they have done, if you have to go out of state do so (especially if you don't have extra money for revision) and be open to the possibility that you may not be 100% satisfied with your results.
