2 years, 1 month & 9 days Update :)
Hello!!! Haven't been on here as much as before but I wanted to share some pics of the progress - its now been 2 years+ since I had my surgery and I am still loving the results :D
I do think the swelling has gone down very much yet the tip of my nose continues to feel hard to the touch so I am sure there is more swelling that will (fingers crossed!) disappear as time goes on.
Sometimes I wish I would have asked for my nose to also be thinned a bit as it does seem wider than pre-surgery but again went very minimalistic and so I only had the hump removed/straightened so I could breathe better from my left nostril and tip slightly rotated upward.
I truly do love my nose profile now so I am hopeful that in another 6 mo - 12 mo the front of my nose will become thinner as it was prior to the surgery.
Best of luck to all of you thinking of rhinoplasty in 2017! it is a decision that took me 8 years to research and make - with the right doctor (Thanks again Dr. Kim!!!) it is one I will never regret :)

my nose before the surgery..
just wanted to share what my nose looked like pre-surgery
2 year post-op in 5 months!
hello! its been a while and today I realized I am 5 months away from being 2 years post op!!!! my nose has definitely become a lot thinner as the swelling has gone down and I am still extremely happy with the results, specially the fact that I no longer have trouble sleeping due to my left nostril closing up and not being able to breathe well. It is such a relief that I don't stay up for hours trying to get my stuffed left nostril to clear up so I can sleep (i was never a fan of decongestants for sleeping).
My nose also looks really good and I continue to be very happy with my results :) still think it was the best decision for me. I am uploading a side by side and front view of my nose as it is today. Dr. Kim truly did a good job, sometimes I feel as if my nose is a bit crooked still and deviates to the left but that is very much improved and minimal compared to my nose before the surgery so no complaints here as it has not gotten worse and I feel that the more the swelling goes down the less the deviation to the left will be noticeable.
