I’m so happy with my results! Really no updates to share other than my pictures. Again, really recommend taking pictures each month so you can compare the differences. I can tell so much changed thanks to comparing month to month.

2 month appointment
Had a check in with Dr. G today, it was the first time I got emotional. It just sunk in that this surgery really has changed my life. I’m so grateful to have found Dr G and to have been able to afford this surgery. I’m so happy!
The appointment went super well! Everything is healing nicely and Dr. G showed my how the uneven swelling I’m seeing is because of my phone camera. This is a point I’ve heard Dr. G tell patients before and I can tell you he’s absolutely right!! My nose is not crooked, phone camera lenses just distort the pictures they take a bit.
The inside of my nose is still swollen which is why my breathing isn’t 100% and my tip is still super swollen.
Overall, highly recommendation Dr. G for your rhinoplasty

I really appreciate your post
I’m 5 weeks post op and everytime I take a pic with my phone I want to cry. My nose is still very swollen and unevenly swollen. My nose in the mirror doesn’t look horrible but when I take a selfie it looks awful. I’m trying not to steer but I’m afraid my nose is going to stay this way.

Hey! I'm sorry about how you're feeling. I completely understand where you're coming from - my front pictures looked so wonky for so long. Even though 5 weeks feels like a while after your surgery in the grand scheme of full healing you have a long way to go! I say that to hopefully make you feel better - you nose will continue to shrink and even out. The waiting game is awful but I'm putting out all positive and even healing vibes for you.

Thank you I appreciate it. I’m not a patient person either so that’s adding to my stress. I also have an indentation on bridge of my nose. 3 weeks post op my doctor performed a surgery in his office and inserted alloderm ( I had very thin skin) to smooth out indentation
Indentation is still there not sure if because I still have swelling which is making it look bad. I’m trying to be calm but it’s the middle of our face ya know? Thanks again throw up a prayer for me I need all the help I can get.

Ah, I see! Totally understand how that can add to your stress. Definitely sending you positive thoughts! Remember you chose your doc for a reason, there’s no doubt they want the best possible result for you. Can’t wait to see your progress if you post! Even though I’m over a year out of my surgery I’m still so interested in rhinoplasty results

Thank you for posting this! As someone considering surgery, it's super helpful to see the swelling progression of others. The before in these pics even looks good though! Love the result you've gotten- beautiful : )

I'm happy it's helpful! I went into this with suuuuper realistic expectations (I'm gonna be really swollen for a while, anything is better than what my original nose was!) and it's really helped me with the post surgery swelling. I've been able to appreciate my new nose at all stages. Wishing you the best on your ~new nose journey~ :)

Honestly. Thank you so much. I am ten day out of surgery and don’t look like myself bc of the swelling. I expected it, but seeing your progression helps so so much. Thank you. You look positively radiant. The improved nose suits you beautifully.

You’re so sweet! Hang in there! PROMISE it will get better - every minute your nose is shrinking

Wow this is a HUGE difference! Is this 1 month post op vs. 2 months post op??
Just had a rhinoplasty w/ Dr. G. last week, I'm hoping my swelling resolves the way yours did! Did you tape your nose nightly?

Yes! Crazy how big a difference in so little time, right? Yes - I taped my nose every night once my cast came off.
