I am a week post op and in love with my new nose already. Dr. Smith exceeded my expectations and gave me the nose I've always wanted, but most importantly that suit my face. His education, years of experience and specialization in the field made me extremely confident with my decision. He truly is an artist and has such charm and a calm demeanor. He made me feel very comfortable and assured every time I saw him. I was very nervous about the entire procedure and his team was very friendly and attentive throughout the entire process! I also had my breathing issues fixed with Dr. Smith - and he was confident in his abilities to help me breathe again/not get sinus infections. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get a rhinoplasty. I can't wait to see the improvements each day as the swelling goes down.
I had minor bruising and swelling and have had such a good recovery so far. Thank you Dr. Smith!! I will be forever grateful :)

Almost 4 weeks post op

Wow! I thought I’d share an update on my recovery. I am finally starting to see my results and couldn’t be happier. Full transparency I had a post op identity crisis and started to freak out. Going in public the first month was tough as I didn’t recognize myself & felt people were looking at me differently. I stopped taking pictures everyday and just trusted the process and had to be patient. I felt initially that I loved my new nose, but it was lifted a lot more and swollen so it’s hard to tell. So much trauma occurs during surgery that your nose is truly distorted for a while. I would say the first month is just not how your nose will permanently look. I am completely in love with it now and feel confident out and about. There is still a lot of swelling that needs to go down, but theirs is a drastic change from 2 weeks to 4 weeks post op. I would do it all over again if I had to! Pain level was a 4/10 as majority of my recovery was just uncomfortable. I didn’t get any tubes in my nose so I couldn’t breathe at all, I was completely congested for a good week. Finally started to sleep on my back again and have been taping everyday for 15 hours/day for 3 months (this is dependent on your surgeon). Next post op apt is April, I will post another update then! Just know that if you have a full identity crisis it is completely normal and it will pass. You don’t realize how swollen your nose actually is.
So happy to hear you love your new nose! Thank you for sharing your experience :)
