Hi all!
Almost one year has passed and I am more than happy with the nose! With time size has been changing and reducing, so now it is much more balanced than ever, and still there is some change to come in the next year.
I will certainly come back to Dr. Ciardullo if I ever need another surgery, he is one of the best doctors in NY state area!

thank you

Thanks for your post! I have my surgery scheduled for 1 month from today :)
I THINKKK i remember seeing your pictures up months ago - youre the reason why I chose Dr. C! You look great!!! Thanks again!!

Does he really only perform closed-rhinoplasty? That's a bit disappointing bc I heard open is the best approach to seeing everything though it leaves a scar on the bottom of the columella. Does this mean he doesn't do alar base narrowing?

It looks like your photos were very helpful to the community. Any chance I could talk you into putting them back up?

What are your concerns about your nose at this point in the recovery? I am considering Dr. Ciardullo and would love to know more about what you are happy and unhappy with in terms of his work. Also, can you please post pictures? I would love to see the before and afters, even if it is just the nose isolated if you are not comfortable posting your face online...Thank you so much for sharing your story!

Two weeks after the surgery: I put some pictures...

Two weeks after the surgery:
I put some pictures of how my nose looks like now. It has swelled up a good deal and it seems that the right/left sides of the nose are asymmetrical in their swelling. Hope it will subdue and disappear eventually.
I noticed the left side is more round and harder to the touch... has anybody experienced the same? I hope it is just swelling and not scare tissue or remaining cartilage.

Don't worry! The hardness and uneven appearance is ALL due to swelling :) Be patient and your new nose will take it's shape.
My friend experienced the exact same thing with her surgery and her swelling took a lot longer than mine to go down. Every patient reacts differently. You still look great!

great to know it is nothing to worry about! Actually I trust Dr. C. so much! I started to think my misbehavior on something might have caused that. Well I will be more patient :)
thanks, the difference is anyway so much! I am so happy with my new profile ^^!

Hi, Merry Christmas! Thank you for your post and pictures. They are a help to me as I am strongly considering having a rhinoplasty with Dr. Ciardullo. I was wondering if you have any new pics now that it's been a bit longer? Are you still a little swollen? If you can, please send me a new pic at: l****@rocketmail.com or post on your post on realself.com. Thank you!! :) Lina

p.s. update! I put the pictures and I wanna say it is still one week and something... which means my new nose has begun to swell after those pictures, more and more. But no problem! Doctor already told me to expect it.
Patience and respect of advice and in a couple of weeks it will be reduced again.
I will update you!
