Hi everyone, it has been a few years and I couldn’t be more happy with my nose. It really is “my nose” now. It doesn’t feel foreign or hooked up on strings when my baby kicks me in the face :P it feels like one whole piece. Looks and feels just like any other body part I was born with.

I seriously just tried this out. I feels “wooden.” No piggy nose for me lol

Hi. My nose is very similar to yours and I'm considering Dr. Kosins. If possible, would you be able to post 1 before and 1 current pic? I'm unsure of the timeline of your nose evolution based on the pics. You would be helping me a lot. Also, did you want a dramatic change or a subtle change? Did Dr. Kosins use rib or any implants? Thanks so much for your help. You look amazing!!

hello! did you get alarplasty too?
March 17, 2021
Hi, an alarplasty did occur. During my consultation, I was not interested in alarplasty. However, dr. Kosins cautioned me that it may need to be done in order to achieve the height of my new bridge without it looking weird. I fully trusted his judgement.
After surgery, he let me know he did have to make the adjustment to my alars. Turned out well. Not too small.

A little over two year update

Everything is still peachy. I am still very content with my nose. Things have really anchored down. In the past (prior to one year), I would have occasional feelings of the internal stitches pulling if I laughed too hard or smiled the wrong way. I no longer have those feelings.

Thank you, Eva. I am definitely super happy with my results. I had a baby and all my personal life and social media posts have been consumed by her lol

You're nose looks very natural and pretty. I hope my Asian nose job goes well this April. Thanks for the detailed journey to help me mentally prepare.
March 17, 2017
Thank you so much. I was definitely going for a more natural approach :) good luck with your nose this April. Very exciting!

wow!! excellent natural results, at what point during your recovery
did you noticed your nose's tip getting more defined? was it at the
6 to 9 month period?
April 14, 2017
Thanks so much. To be honest, I was not a fan of a very defined tip. Doc just said he would do it to bring more symmetry. My focus was mainly on the bridge so I wouldn't be able to answer your question.

Hi Everyone,
I apologize for the silence these past few months. I have not been receiving notifications from realself when there is a private message or post to this thread. I will make this brief and bullet point the changes I have seen since my last post.
Update since my last MD visit on 5/23/15:
- Swelling has drastically decreased ( I did not believe Dr Kosins when he told me there was still a significant amount of swelling at my last appointment
- Nose is softer to touch and has a more natural feel (before it was very stiff and hard)
- It feel less and less foreign to my body and more like a "natural" part of me
- The burrito graft and smooth without any lumps or bumps
- No complications thus far
- I am able to blow my nose normally and not be afraid it will fall off or detach
- No one knows I had my nose done. It looks very natural
***PHOTOS are taken 12/30/15 with exception of dressed up face 12/24/15
Please let me know if you have any questions. :) happy nose wearing

Your nose looks good.

Love the way your nose looks, it looks so natural. Can’t even tell you have your nose dine. Hopefully. I can have my nose done soon. Thanks for sharing your photos and updates, it will help a lot.

Does your nose feel wooden? If you press your nose to a window, can you make a piggy nose? Thanks.
