2 years post-op : Updated Before & After Pictures

WORTH IT$6,500
I am overall content with the final result. The residual swelling is gone and the shape is significantly different. Do I think about having a revision? Often. There are small things that bother me, like the small hanging columella i have, and a strong bit of cartilage that looks a tad "pointy"...But we are most critical of ourselves and I know that I need to take my perspective with a grain of salt, lol. I am hardest on myself. Overall, I'm glad I did this procedure, and I would recommend the experience (and the surgeon!) to anyone who feels the need to follow through with a rhinoplasty.

Beautiful! Your nose is sexy!

Hey! Considering Dr Antoniak myself.. is it possible you could please post your before/after picture again?

Hi there, I just booked my consult with Dr Antoniak...can you send your before and after pictures...they are no longer appearing in your review.

thanks

I’ve been checking out reviews for him and yours is one of the only ones, would love to see picture as well if you decide to re post!

Any pics?

1-year post-op

1-year post op was in November 2013 with Dr. Antoniak (although my surgery was in August of 2012, lol), but that's fine with me! He said everything looked good, and I agree! The results are natural, it still looks like my nose, but better. I have a friend who came down from Australia whom I hadn't seen in over 2 years, and she told me I looked amazing/different but couldn't pin-point why/what it was! I told her I had a septorhinoplasty and she couldn't believe it. Mission accomplished.

I will be adding photos from different angles, as requested by a user in the comments below in the next few days.

Looking at your "before" nose, I truly didn't see room for improvement.... yet your new nose looks fantastic! Really love your result!
Thank you!
Did you notice changes still occurring after 6 months post-op?
Absolutely - definitely when it comes to assymetry and residual swelling...I mean, the general shape of my nose has mostly stayed the same, but as time goes on, I am noticing that swelling is subsiding and my surgeon has confirmed this saying that more swelling will go down in my particular case! Thanks for your comment/question :)
Did your tip drop after your cast was off?
A little bit, yes. Very normal, considering the inflammation and of course, gravity. But within a few months, the tip rose up slowly but surely...As the inflammation disappears, your nose will regain its final shape following your surgery. You really need to trust your surgeon and the result he achieved post-surgery.
Can u post more pictures? Before and after from the same angles?
Sorry for the late reply! Yes I can certainly do that - I will post them in the next few days.
I've added more before & after pictures :) Sorry for the delay!
