Final update

I had a revision done yesterday with another doctor. I had a very deviated septum as well as a collapsed nasal valve (couldn’t breathe at all out of my right nostril because of this). The other doctor also made other adjustments to improve the tip asymmetry, nostrils, and over projected tip. It’s obviously too soon to say anything about the results (swollen AF right now), but really trusting his expertise as he has tons of experience with revisions. Amazing bed side manner as well (so nice and personable) which is a nice change from the conveyor belt, robotic style some other doctors have.

Finally had a my post-op appointment that had kept getting pushed back from March so I thought I would post an update here. I’m about 1 year and 5 months post-op at this point and Dr.G said there was still swelling on the bridge/nasal tip. I really hope so because I was hoping that area would look less projected and more refined. I know people say it can take up to 2 years for all the swelling to go away so trying to be patient. I have still noticed changes happening - good and bad nose days... some days my tip looks more refined and other days there seems to be some asymmetric swelling. So crazy lol... but anyway trying to be patient *sigh*

Keep the updates coming. Thank you for sharing the picture information. I never realized it , but it is true. I have had 1 primary and 3 revisions and while not completely happy... there is a point where it is good enough. I have come to realize that noses are not perfect and it will forever change with age. Yours looks natural and pretty dang close to perfect.

It looks good. The tip does look smaller than before and ur profile looks amazing. They say 2 years for best full results so I think ur headed to great results.

I also see what u mean about nostrils , but in ur 12 day post op they look super symmetrical. I think they will get like that after too !

Omg it looks like the rest of my comment didn't get posted! But yea, I hope it's just the residual swelling, especially bc I know they say the tip takes the longest! I didn't even notice how they were much more symmetrical in my 12 day post op pics so thanks for pointing that out! Really hope they even out! Dr. G said he could also do a small procedure to even out the nostrils so I may consider that down the road it they don't even out... but fingers crossed they will!

Yes, my nose was also done by him. It will be 2 years at the end of September. It feels like a scar tissue and it is hard to touch. Is yours like that too?
August 30, 2020
Oh noo :( yea my tip is still pretty hard and stuff. How can you tell if it's scar tissue? And what has he said about your concerns? Had he offered to do anything??

I haven't seen the doctor yet. My last appointment was canceled. At first I thought it was just swollen but now I think it's a scar tissue. One side of my nose is soft but the other side is hard.

Oh noo! Well I hope you are able to get an appointment! My appointments have been getting canceled since March :( I have an appointment coming up in a couple weeks and hoping that doesn't get canceled again

You look amazing! Profile is looking beautiful. Swelling can go down for years. I have had it done twice and noticed lots of variant changes. You look great

Aw thanks! I'm still hoping things go down a little bit more and it gets a bit more refined! How long did you wait before your second surgery? What made you want a revision? It's something I'm still considering because I'm not 100% happy yet but I also don't I'm worried of going too far and messing things up more. Anything you could share would be super helpful!

I had my nose done by him as well. I am a month away from my 1 year post op. I love the side profile but my nostrils are completely different and unsymmetrical. I will probably need a revision but I'm not sure if I will do it with hm again or trust someone else.
