Hi everyone it's being a year and 3 months since my rhinoplasty and I can honestly say I have no regrets. Not going to lie the first 6 months I hated the way my nose looked. But the doctor was right it really does take time for your nose to heal and to see changes. Thank god the change and healing was for the better. So far my nose has gotten slimmer especially the tip and the sides of my nose has even out greatly unlike the first 6 months when it was fat and uneven. I'll post new pics later this week so u guys can see the difference :)
P.s. no complains about my under eyes either. The bags I once had r still gone woohoo.

-Its been 4 months since surgery and so far I like how the bags under my eyes are gone, sure I still have dark circles but thats ok its something I had my whole life and wasn't expecting surgery to make that go away just only the bags. At least when i put a little makeup on my eyes they look perfect
-As for my nose I'm not 100% happy with it at the moment. I love the side profile because my hump is gone but dislike the front profile because to me its uneven. Its harder to document in picture but when you see it in person its more noticeable unless I do makeup contouring. I seem to have more fullness on one side of my nose while on the other side I seem to have a depression which to me idk how its gonna even out on its own without a revision. But I still have 8 months to go in recovery before I can give my final opinion and make a decision. My tip seem big like a little ball but I know that it takes a year for the swelling to go down so I'm not concerned about that only the unevenness of the sides of my nose.

Hi Bellport, I think you look beautiful and everything came out great. I just had rhino/septoplasty with Rizk last Thursday. The cast came off yesterday. I love the results. Today my nose really swelled up but I was expecting that as it is just part of the process. Even swollen I am happy with my results. I am just eating lots of arnica pills applying the arnica gel and eating pineapple and kiwi to help with the swelling. I would wait a full year to decide if the dent is really a dent or just uneven swelling. Dont put any fillers in there yet and consult with Rizk about this option. I had a bad experience with fillers under my eyes and my body surrounded it with scar tissue which looks like a big lump now. You dont want this to happen to you nose.

Aww thank u for the concern and no worries I don't plan on using any fillers, I read too many bad stories about it lol. The only thing I'm just gonna do is wait it out and see what happens. Glad to hear that u had a good outcome though

Since posting that previous comment my nose has really swelled up. I hate wearing the tape on my nose at night and its hard to stay away from salty foods. My nose looks just as big as before the surgery just a nicer shape. I am still very happy with the results but the swelling makes it very hard to see the final outcome. Just wait it out. I don't know anyone who was disappointed with Rizk's rhinos. I am sure you will be happy in the end.

Hello.I noticed that you had several issues similar to mine,such as this slight curve on the left side of the nose wich makes it uneven.I am wondering whether you had any changes with time,would be glad to see your nose now.Thank you for reply

-Hi everyone it's been about 3 months since I've had surgery and I still love how my lower eyelids came out. Really have no complaints about it. Still looking younger and well rested. And love how beautiful my eyes look with no bags when I wear makeup
-As for my nose I'm still not happy with it. I have pros and cons about it. I like that it's general smaller from what it use to be and that my hump is gone thank god because I have a dent on the right side (your left) of my nose. This is driving me crazy; because of this dent it's making the front view of my nose look uneven. At the moment the only way my nose looks decent is when I do makeup conturing on my nose to make it appear even. When I went to the doctor several weeks ago for my second follow up appointment he gave me a second round of kenalog shots on my nose to help with the swelling and squeezed my nose really hard (he said it was to push out the swelling). I wish he would of just done the shots and not of squeezed my nose so hard because I think the dent got worse. Anyways I have a third follow up appointment in November so well see how it goes and this time I'll make sure he doesn't squeeze my nose again. If this dent doesn't go away in a year I guess I have to get a minor revision done to even both sides of my nose out. I'll post pics up this week
