Feeling a Little Blue.
WORTH IT$6,000
I kept such optimism throughout my recovery- I hoped and hoped that the remaining bump left over after surgery was just swelling; however it is not.
I want to mention that I am still very happy with what I have now compared to what I had before, but I am not satisfied. Ever since I can remember I wanted a perfectly smooth profile; trust me growing up with a gigantic dorsal hump was not easy. I decided to undergo surgery to make myself more confident, and comfortable in my own skin. It is frustrating still having to deal with manipulating angles and hiding the central part of my face. Making the decision and coming up with the money to pay for rhinoplasty at only 20 years old and no additional help difficult and I was hoping that I would not have to undergo a second surgery. But hey, you can't always have what you want.
Dr. Gutowski moved to Michigan so I am now under the care of Dr. Epstein. I am scheduled to see him on Friday June 13th to discuss revision. These things happen sometimes. I'll update soon.

Your nose is beautiful. The LAST thing you want is a scooped out bridge. It really is very pretty.

I have always wanted rhinoplasty.
I inherited quite a dorsal hump, & a bit of a bulbous tip from my father. The surgery was painless, I had absolutely no bruising, some swelling, and even though I'm early in recovery; I'm already pleased with my results.
I can't wait to see what my nose will look like when my swelling goes down.
