13 month update
It's already 13 months since my rhino.
I still don't feel like it's fully healed (if I apply pressure on the tip, I stil don't have full sensitivity of the lower layers, and if I apply pressure right underneath, I still feel some pain). I'm always swollen in the morning and and I get swelling if I stay in warm environments.
I sometimes think about a revision to make it narrower, but that's just in thinking phase so far.
Breathing is good, although I breathe a lot better (more air coming in) through my left nostril than my right one. Also I have a small defect on the right side of the bridge which only I notice.
Overall, It's much better than what I started with (CONSIDERABLY) but it could have been better.

I'm close to 3 months since my surgery.
I'm very very happy with my results, I couldn't have pictured it better.
I still feel that my nose is not recovered yet. Swelling at the tip is still visible and it's still hard to the touch and painful if pressure is applied. It's significantly more swollen in the morning, right after I wake up (but then again, my whole face is).
My breathing is a LOT better than before the surgery. I never need to use the nose drops I was addicted to before and I feel my lungs are filling with air a lot faster than before.
I will be posting some pictures of my current state :)

Wow, Diana! Your new nose is beautiful -- even better than the proposed computer pics. You're gorgeous, congratulations!

Well, you can definitely say that your two years of research paid off. Your surgeon did a wonderful job in "sculpting" your new nose. It is natural looking and fits your face perfectly! Thank-you so much for sharing your experience.
