Much needed and requested update!
Hi guys,
So sorry I haven't updated in months. I got a new job and I've been crazy busy and tired! Thanks for all of the positive feedback and comments, I will try my best to reply to everyone's comments and messages! I will also be posting photos in the next few days! I just downloaded the RealSelf app so updating should be much easier!
But anyway, it's been 5 1/2 months since my surgery. Everything is still healing and adjusting but I'm feeling and looking good.
My chin still has little sensation on the left side. The numbness has gotten a lot better, but it has not fully come back. And because of the numbness I've had severe acne on my chin. I haven't gone to a dermatologist so I can't 100% say it's from the implant, or it could possibly be from the bandaging I had on it and the lack of cleaning when I was taped and all those germs, so I'm not sure! But in January I started Proactive and it's a million times better!!! So that's all good, not sure of the cause but it's doing a lot better. My chin is still super sensitive. I can't lay on it, and I accidentally got hit in my chin the other day and it hurt so bad! I don't know if the sensitivity will ever go away or if it's permanent but I'll be sure to ask Dr. S!
My nose is doing well. I'm at the stage where in pictures my nose looks pretty big/swollen. In person or in the mirror it isn't bad, but for some reason the camera hates it! Lol. I still have some scaring on the outside but it's looking better everyday. Scarring inside is still pretty bad, but can't see it so I'm not tripping . The swelling goes up and down depending on how hot my shower is, or what time it is. I no longer tape my nose, and I do no massaging. I'm afraid I might damage it lol. Other than that everything is pretty good. I'm almost 6 months in.. So we're in the final stretch!
I will do my best to keep you all updated. Thanks again :)

You look fantastic and your nose looks beautiful. Sometimes we tend to be extremely critical with ourselves but in all honesty, you look wonderful!
Your nose looks amazing ! Cant wait to get mine done !!
Thank you so much for updating, I've been waiting on your posts with baited breath! Cant wait to see pictures x
Can I ask what made you choose this surgeon...and how much is his rhinosplasty alone?? He did a really amazing job btw!

Wow. You look great he definitely did a good job. I'm looking forward to following your progress. Thanks so much for sharing!
That's where mine was, he showed me how to massage the cheek area to bring the swelling down. Don't do it too early though you might ruin the results.
How long does it take for the swelling to go down every morning?
you look great, you look younger in your after photos
how are people you know reacting or responding?
you look so good..really liked your chin implant as well.. seems a perfect size and shape for you ..looks so natural..
