Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

One year post
I'm a couple of weeks early from my one year post op. Feeling good and no complications.
My changes were very subtle to others (many didn't realize I had a nose job), but I can definitely see the changes. I had a super wide bridge and it was hard to find a pair of glasses that fit right. Now I don't have that problem.
I wanted to keep my ethnicity and not go for a super thin nose and I think we accomplished that.
Throughout this whole process I only have two complaints. One was my bruising which was extreme and lasted longer than normal (had to use a lot of makeup the first 6 weeks).
The second, are my nostrils. They are not symmetrical, but then again, they never were. I can live with this and will not consider a revision to even them out.
One thing that was so surprising, was how painless my rhinoplasty was. You would think with all the cutting and breaking of bone, that it would hurt, but it didn't.
Overall, I can tell you that it was totally worth it and I only wish I had done it 20 years ago!!

3 months post - New Year, New Me
So its been awhile. I'm now 3 months post op and pretty please with how things are coming along. I 'm not gonna lie, its not perfect, but my improved nose is definitely better than my old nose, so it was totally worth it.
At my last appointment with Dr. K. he was happy with the progress. He said my skin is thinning out and he could see shrinkage ( I have thick skin). He had a visiting Dr. in his office so he asked if he could bring her in so he could show me off. Let me tell you, they both squeezed the heck out of my nasal bones. Actually made me tear. I guess those nasal bones are all healed up or else they wouldn't have squeezed so hard. I did tell the Dr about my dark circles and how much longer I could expect for them to linger. He said when I went in for my 4mo. appt., he would do a laser treatment. Hope that helps. I mean its not aweful, but it is still there.
So, from what I understand, by month 3, about 75% of the swelling is gone so this is a good indication of what the final product might be. Not gonna lie, I was hoping for a little more definition in the tip, but I'm not gonna stress. As I said, its better than my old nose. My other issue is that my nostrils are not symmetrical. Now, they weren't symettrical to begin with, but I feel like its more noticeble now. Again, maybe after a few months when the tip drops a little, it will be less noticeable. Fingers crossed.
