I just had rhinoplasty and got my deviated septum fixed with Dr. Elam on Tuesday! Your nose looks great. I hope my results are just as good! :)

I'm sure you'll love your nose. Dr. Elam is great! Just be patient. It can be hard, especially with all the swelling.

It's been about a year and a half since my surgery and my nose looks great! There are days when the tip is gets swollen and my nose tip is still sensitive at times. But I am overall happy with my results. I do notice that when my nose is a bit swollen my left nostril looks a bit bigger than my right.

This procedure has really been tough. The swelling is uncontrollable at first. Some days I would wake up and my nose would be as big if not bigger than before my surgery. At times I did question if I had done the right thing, but honestly I love my decision. I'm so glad I went through with my septorhinoplasty. I love my profile and how little my nose looks. This was the nose I wanted all along! For anyone trying to decide to go through rhinoplasty, I say go for it! Just be really careful about who you choose to work on your face and be patient with the results.

Can you still see the scar? If not, when did you notice that it wasn't visible anymore? You look great in the photos.

Hi I can't see a scar anymore. The scar wasn't noticeable after about a year.
