Open tip revision rhinoplasty experience with Mr Ion so far

Wanted to be post an update i get messages asking about healing: it’s 26 months since surgery and i am Still happy with nose .
Mr Ion had continued offering review appointments during this time. I really appreciate the care.

Nose: Shape preserved, swelling resolved.
Good breathing.

I don’t have many frontal pictures in a good enough light to post.

I totally love my nose. Dr Ion made a wonderful gave me the nose I always wanted it was totally worth it . These pix ere taken 2 days ago during a video-shoot and although they aren’t clinical pix, they provide a good idea of the healed result. I particularly love how my philtrum was corrected without the need for a lip-lift (details in original post).

"Purgatory" stage: the timeframe in surgical recovery between the initial/acute recovery phase and the final result- a 'limbo' time where you progress towards the more stable result but still don't 100% love exactly where you're at, and you just have to get through it.
In my case, I can feel the dryness from antibiotics and GA, still have a very mild swelling/bruising in the face, and of course my nose is still healing.
PS
the term 'Purgatory stage' is not my invention, I borrowed it, but it conveys the feeling quite well IMO
