Side by side before and afters
WORTH IT$5,400
Here are some side by side before and afters. The profile view is very different, but the front wasn't as drastic a change. My columella isn't as low after, and he also narrowed the width a bit but I'm not sure that shows yet with the swelling.

More after pictures! The rhinoplasty did NOT make me suddenly photogenic, lol. ;)
I think there have been subtle changes over the last week, but there's a bit more swelling on one side and some in the tip. I'm not really in pain, but it's sensitive, so I'm still taking a Tylenol once or twice a day if needed. I had a lot of scabbing inside that finally seems to be clearing up today (from the lower turbinate reduction that he said would take longer to heal, hence no ibuprofen.) My nostrils feel fairly soft and flexible, but the tip/columella are a bit stiff. My nose is peeling a lot! I can't really scrub it and I don't like to touch it too much to apply moisturizer, but hopefully that will go away soon! Otherwise, I feel like I'm getting back to normal: sleeping well, no more constipation or other side effects from pain killers, not so easily tired, have my appetite back, etc. Yay! I didn't think the recovery would be so quick!
Except that I never realized how much I touched/bumped my nose! The last few days I've poked it or bumped it so many times! Ouch!

Definitely a big difference from your before and after photos! Cant wait to see how it changes more once the swelling subsides. The dryness to my nose is driving me crazy too! Can't wait for the day when I can finally go get a micro/facial again lol. I have been gently applying toner/moisturizer to it though, which has helped some. I can't wear make up on my nose yet though, because I feel like it exaggerates the dryness.

I know, me too! Trying not to get my hopes up too much, though, since I know I will never have a tiny nose. I keep putting make-up on it and have to take it off almost immediately because it's so dry it looks worse. Haha! I'm nervous to go anywhere where someone else might touch it! The eye doctor, dentist, hair stylist...I don't want to have to tell them why they need to be so careful!

Haha I know!! I'm so protective of my nose now it's kinda funny. I have to get my lashes done next week, so hopefully I don't panic while she's around my nose lol can't wait until it's fully healed, so I won't constantly worry about it
