I'm sure there is still swelling to go down... but I am so happy with my nose. Best decision I ever made!

Question-you mentioned a little lump that grew on your nostril, did that go away with time? Do you think it was just swelling? I'm on day 10 right now and I have one on the inside of the other portion of my left nostril, and it's making me really nervous because it's obstructing my breathing. I haven't heard of many people experiencing this so I'd love to hear if that improved for you.

It is going away since time, it's not as noticeable... and my surgeon said that it should be completely gone by 6 months time. He said there's only a 5% chance that he will need to surgically remove it. Even so it's so small now that I wouldn't even bother getting it removed... obviously I notice it because it's my body but it's not noticeable for anybody else.

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I think my before nose is similar to yours (mine is worse though lol) but I love love your result. It's getting me excited to move forward with booking!!

Post-cast nose progress

All my bruising has almost disappeared completely (there's still a tiny faint purple stripe) and the swelling has gone down significantly since last Friday... I'm sure I still have a long way to go still but I'm happy! Has anybody else felt a little lump of skin in their nostril after surgery? I'm worried it might be a keloid or something because it's a little nubin sort of thing in my right nostril... it's not in my left. It's not the worst thing since it's disguised inside but it's a little bit worrying. I'll make sure to discuss it at my first check up.

So cute, love it! It totally suits you, like it was made to be the nose you were born with. I hope mine turns out as good. I have a similar nose to your before, however mine is much bigger.

THANK YOU :) I am so happy and glad to hear it suits me... I wouldn't want to walk out of hospital with a "plastic surgery" looking nose. Most people so far haven't been able to tell that I had surgery unless I told them... a part from obvious close friends and family who would recognise the changes. I hope yours turns out just the way you want it to :)

My doctor was a hero! He knew how uncomfortable the recovery was going for me and made time for me today to take out my septum tubes and remove my cast. WHAT A RELEIF! The whole experience wasn't painful just a weird. The only unpleasant bit was having the stitches snipped out but it's over super quickly. No problems at all. And THEN I SAW MY FACE IN THE MIRROR, oh my god, I'm so happy! I don't know how to explain what it's like... I have been so insecure and critical of my face since I was in my early teens... And now that dorsal hump is gone and my tip is raised. I can't wipe the smile off my face! I've got a lot of swelling still that's yet to go and my tip will go down a touch so results aren't final but if I love my nose now I'll love it more as time goes on :) YAAAAAAY!

Wow! You and I have very similar noses, I'm having my rhinoplasty in a month and seeing your beautiful results has made me confident that hopefully my nose will turn out just as pretty. Congratulations :)

We had VERY similar noses... wow what a change it will be without the dorsal hump and a little raising of the tip... that's what I asked my surgeon to do. You are stunning as is but I can't wait to see the results of your nose! :)
