6 month update
Still so happy at 6 months! There have been no complications, no changes after the fact. The swelling is pretty much gone now but it still feels just a bit funny when I touch the bridge of my nose. I think about my nose FAR less these days but when I do they are positive thoughts! No regrets!
Two & a half months post-op
At 2 1/2 months post op I am still loving my nose! It ALMOST feels like my own again, both physically and mentally. I still have that bump of swelling right between my eyes. It's not visible to the eye but I can feel with my fingers and have a hard time not touching it all the time to see if it's still there. Same thing with the little ridge I mentioned in my last post. I was able to ask Dr. Portuese about both at my followup and he reassured me that both are still due to swelling. He said the ridge is right where he broke the bone and should settle down over time. That appt was back in Dec. at the 6 week mark. I flew to Seattle, took the light rail from Sea-Tac down to the Pike Place Market for lunch and then walked to my appointment. Dr. P said everything looked great. He did give me a cortisone shot above the tip of my nose to help with residual swelling (ouch! - made my eyes water!). It did make a difference in refining my nose just a bit more. Since my surgery I have had a huge boost in confidence (more than expected) and am SO happy I did it. I have no regrets and am updating my review to "Worth it!"

Provider Review
Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
1101 Madison St., Seattle, Washington
I am so happy I had the opportunity for Dr. Portuese to perform my rhinoplasty! He is an extremely talented and experienced surgeon. I traveled across the country to see him and would do it again without question. The entire staff (office staff, care coordinator, nurses, anesthesiologists and of course Dr. Portuese) were great at what they do and were also warm and kind. Above all, I absolutely love my new nose and the increased confidence it has given me!
