Here are some update photos that were taken today Nov 29th! Still have some bleeding in my nose. Tip of nose is still slightly numb. Scars behind right ear are still red but left ear is much better but they are still noticeable. Scar under chin still noticeable if I don't apply concealer.
Hope everyone had a wonder Thanksgiving!!

You look great!!! My surgery is Dec 17th with Dr. Nayak. Getting nervous and ready to get it over with. Any recovery tips? I am going to stock up on supplies after my pre-op appt on Wednesday. I just want the date to pass and get this recovery going! Are you happy with your rhinoplasty results? :)
Yes I am very happy with my results!! I have follow up appt with him Dec 10th! It is nerve racking but you will be just fine!! I had almost not pain what so ever with mine! Just mostly achy at time especially when I touched it. My recovery for my nose will probably be slightly different from yours because I had the chin lipo/lift and I had to follow those instruction instead of for the rhino. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! You will have an awesome Christmas with your new nose!! Can't wait for you!!
Thank you! Hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving too. The nerves are definitely setting is as the date gets closer! I know this is normal though. I have my pre op appt on Wednesday and then I'm going to stock up on any supplies I need to get after hearing what he suggests getting. Then I'll just need to be patient for two weeks until surgery. Luckily I'm so busy with holiday parties and get togethers that I won't have much time before so sit around and worry. I'm really excited until I get some down time to sit around and worry. Thanks for your encouragement. It really helps lot!!
They will give you a list of meds you will need. I bought a bunch of gauze for my nose but they gave me some after the surgery so I didn't need to buy any after all. Have tons of gauze left!! Wow 17 days left then your big day!! I look at my old before photos of me and can't believe that is what I use to look like it is almost like looking at a different person hehe!!
Beautiful!
Thank you very much!!
Looks great. I am 3.5 mos post rhinoplasty & in pics I think my nose looks slightly crooked. Could be uneven swelling so I'm not too concerned.
Yes I think it maybe as well. Some days my bridge looks wider than on other days. It can take up to a yr to get the final result.
Wonderful results! You look great, just in time for holiday photos! Congrats on your new look :)
Thank you very much!!
You look great! Congrats on your successful surgery :)

Hello!! It's been 1 month and 3 days since rhino & neck lift

Wow time has flown by! Can't believe it's been a month. Tomorrow is my second week back to work and so far no one has said a thing about my nose and neck. So I would like to ask a question; is anyone still having nose bleeding this far out in their rhino surgery. I am having a small amount of bleeding at the inside tip of my nose on both sides. Posting some update photos!!

You still look great. Wow I can't believe its been 2 weeks since you went back to work. Are you stressed, bending over a lot of doing heavy lifting? Maybe that's causing the nose bleeding. I give you a lot of credit to have rhino and nevk lift. I had rhino 6 days ago and I've had good and bad days but definitely getting better now. Take good care :)
You know I never thought about the lifting and bending over could be causing the nose bleeds, thanks for telling me that!! Hope your feeling better soon.
I notice the difference!! It's perfect.
you look fabulous! I am not sure why they can't notice. But a great surgeon is one who leaves you looking Beautiful naturally. so,it makes sense. You don't want people to notice but just say how much more you look good. ;)
Thank you!! It would make me feel uncomfortable if I had to explain to them what I had done.
Yeah,best to just say new hair trim,make-up and a facial so i am glowing :) lol.
That is true, much easier that way!!
:) You don't have to divulge into your business. HEHEHEEHE.
That is true for all of us!! I get paranoid sometime at work because lately the staff have all been talking about plastic surgery. I mind my own business and don't say anything. I just think to myself been there done that HEHEHE!!!
I NEVER tell my sister or friends. just biz partner&3 friends who I am very close too. Best that way. Too many judgemental closed minded opinions and or just plain jealousy.
Yes that is true. I have three sisters and I haven't told any of them what I had done. One of my sisters had breast augmentation but she didn't tell us we just figured it out from just the way she looked. She went from a size A to a C, I think. So I won't say anything unless they guess.
I am all for plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures. No judgement. How cani,I have done my fair share.
I plan on doing more later on, hopefully!
Yesterday for the first time i had my lips filled. HOLY MOLLY! They are HUGE! I did to new reviews :) Nov cool sculpting on abs and botox. :)
Wow you go girl!!! Happy for you. Let your beauty shine.
Your arms look wonderful!!
Guess your a fan of the Giants!! I'm a cards fan! One of the Cardinals baseball players was killed in an auto accident on Sunday in Dominic Republic. Very sad!!
Thanks :) I just try to maintain myself,it's the 1 temple we have and fillers are temporary. Wish they were permanent but doctor's would go out of business. It;s 10:46 pst and now my lips look perfect :) so hapy.
Thank You very much! 1 thing at a time :) These treatments are so damn expensive.
I am a GIANTS fan! But lost last night :( BUt WON :) and we're having a parade YAY! That is sad,a lot of times they speed or someone else is driving like crazy. A lot of times alcohol is involved. I hope this was not the case.
Happy not hapy lol
Yes the treatments are expensive. I hope to have lower eye bleph and endoscopic brow lift maybe in 2015 or 2016. Was told that would cost over $9000.
Never did hear just read lost control of his car. Yes very sad only 22 I think.
My hubby says I should get lip injections so I can have angelina Jolie lips. I said no.
Did you check out my huge lips? that is expensive. Have you tried restylane for that? HAppy Halloween!
Saw your lips on the Halloween costume update. They look wonderful!!
They were Gigantic,
It doesn't last,it seems mine are now back to normal. I truly feel like it lasted 24 hours like those breast they pump you up with saline and water for 24 hrs. but that cost$3500
You have to try it once,it's temp,so no big deal.
Beautiful!
Thank you!!
looks great! I love the gentle slope to your nose!
Thank you so much. I do to as well!!

Hi all went back to the Dr yesterday. He said I was healing beyond what is expected at this point. He was very pleased with my recovery process.
