Update and photos! :)
WORTH IT$8,000
Last I updated I was pleased with results, but concerned with some swelling at the tip. I had work/schedule conflicts and hadn't seen Dr. Gross in a few months! I finally got to see him and he agreed I had some residual swelling predominantly on my left side. He gave me a steroid shot and this helped! I posted before and after shot of just that side...you can tell the difference it made. And I asked to be sent images from that days photos and from my before's....I couldn't believe the difference!!! Sometimes we even forget what we looked like before. I am beyond impressed.
Here is my FINAL product :).
Dr. Gross is the best! I cannot thank him enough. Not only has my nose improved substantially, but my entire face just seems to have brightened and lifted !
Very impressed with it the outcome.

you look amazing!! do you feel like the tip did drop? from your pic it looks like it didnt, or at least the tip swelling went down to even it out. my concern now is that my tip will drop and i dont want it to. yours is perf!

Have not updated in a while! It is not a little...
Have not updated in a while! It is not a little over 1 month post-op.
I had my one month appt on Tuesday and my P.S. said everything looked like it was healing properly. My nose is still swollen. a little too swollen for my liking.
When I initially got my cast off, a couple of days later my nose looked pretty small. Now, one month later, it looks larger than when i got my cast removed. Did this happen to anyone else??
My tip is very hard and swollen. I am tender in the bridge area. I feel it is projects more where the tip/ball are (i am posting a photo).
My P.S. said my tip will fall down within the next few months. I am not too happy about this, as I asked for a slightly "turned up" tip, and I feel it is still too droopy now. And it is supposed to drop even more?? That is not what I wanted to hear =(
Now it is just a waiting game to see how my nose transforms within the next few months. I have a feeling i may be one of those unlucky people whose noses take FOREVERRR to heal and slim down.

Hey - responding to your update ... I am more then two months post-op and my bridge is still vey tender and stiff, with the tip and underside still swollen, numb, and asymmetrical. had a follow up last week and he said all was healing, and that I could expect the bridge to settle in the next 3 months and the tip to settle during months 8 - 12. My nose was also much smaller after the cast was removed, and I am assuming that the 'final product' would be close to that size... next year :).

Oh that's good to hear! I mean, not good that it is still swollen, but that I am not alone haha. I sometimes look in the mirror and think "Why am does it still look so swollen?!" And have to remember it has only been a little over a month (inpatient much?) You really need a lot of patience with Rhinoplasty and I cleary do not have that haha I want the final product now, but time will tell and I have to wait. It is looking a bit better today!

your nose looks great! I have my surgery in a week and a half and reading your story makes me a little less nervous =]

Thank you!! You're going to do great! I think the anticipation and prepartion of surgery was worse than the surgery itself. Your knocked out so that part if a breeze ! haha You will have to keep us posted when you get yours done. It will be so worth it. Promise =)

Ahh! look at that face! I know you got just your nose done but it really makes the whole face just light up :D Lovin it. Another reason with the right doctor and team plastic surgry can really make people lives better.

Your pictures look great! Your nose in your one month post op picture looks slimmer and seems like the swelling went down! How long did your "avatar look" go down by chance? I am 9 days post op and I have a huge pouch of swelling inbetween my eyebrows. I am hoping it will go away soon.

Did that Avatar look go away ???
I am currently 5 days post op and I look like Avatar between the eye upper bridge and between eye brows a bit.
I am hoping this would go down , did it go down for you? if so , when?
did you massage it ?
