WORTH IT
One year post op. The tip is still swollen, off to see Dr Kolenda next week. I may need an injection of steroid.
Enjoying my summer driving with the windows down. I would do it all over. It’s totally worth it!

Surprising that the tip is swollen one year post-op, but perhaps it's not uncommon.
In any case, you look great!

I have hated my nose since I was 16.
My cars always had to be tinted, I would never let someone look at me sideways. Pictures always had to be taken at the right angle.
I finally became financially stable that I could afford it.
I decided for my 55 birthday I was going to take the plunge and get a rhinoplasty.
