Ok, update time!
The good and the not-so-good.
The good:
The swelling has gone down a lot in front. And the itching at the sides of the nostrils (where I had the reduction) has FINALLY stopped. And it was truly torturous. The scarring is minimal, which is also a plus.
I LOVE my profile, it looks so cute now!
The bad:
I had steroid injections to help reduce the swelling, and also to get rid of the bump on the bridge which was trying to reform. While it got rid of the bump, there's now a slight dent there instead. However I let my dr know immediately as he said that might happen, and he injected that area with saline. In another week or so I'll know how it went.
I'll post new pics soon as it's been close to three months.

Thanks :)
Still more swollen in front than I'd like and it doesn't feel normal yet.. But it's getting there and I can see a difference now, which is what I was hoping for!

Hi everyone I'm waiting to hear if I'm getting nose job got meeting tomorrow. Iv wanted nose job for years have had a lot of nasty comments about my nose and I hate it! I have very low self esteem due to it. How does everyone feel after getting it done? Does anyone regret it? I'm scared that its not hat I expect and my kids are scared of bandages ect and the swelling as it will be noticable and people will know iv had it done. Susan :)

Still more swollen in the front that I would like - so I'll wait until that looks better before I post those! But the profile looks better already so here they are.

hey babe...no the majority of my swelling was at my bridge but my tip keeps getting smaller too so there must have been more swelling there than I noticed. Yeah at two months it still looked a little weird to me. My nose looks smaller month to month for real! Its more "defined" i guess you could say. My doc swears up and down it truly takes a whole year for ALL the swelling to go down! Maybe since you just had the tip worked on the rest of your nose is confused (as retarded as that sounds) and its reacting by holding onto fluid? i am prone to swelling myself. Its hard to see the big picture at this point. The nose tip is fragile and from what I've read thats always the last place the swelling resolves. I know its hard--I'm still getting used to my new look to and working through my own issues. Keep ya head up. We're here if you need us ;)

Thanks for the comments again. I really do appreciate it.
It is just a waiting game like everyone says. I spent a lot of money so I am looking for a change. I wanted a drastic change, so maybe that is why there is so much builtup of swelling in the tip. Again, the tip was all that was done.
People say that the nose tip drops around the 3 month mark? Would that be all of a sudden. IDK. Gotta go on I guess as it has been 2 months and 1 week and kinda sick of consuming myself with my nose uno

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's still very swollen from the front! My tip is extremely swollen too - as are the insides of my nostrils and it doesn't feel like *my* nose yet. I can see the tops part of my nose is less swollen now...from what I hear the tip is the slowest to heal. And it feels strange!
When I got the cast off I was THRILLED, I loved it, but the splint would have held in the swelling as by that very evening it grew amazingly swollen. If it eventually looks like it first did when the splint came off I'll be a very happy girl. Until then - I wait!
Mt Hill - I went to Dr Marcells in Sydney.

**edit -meant to say glad I'm not the only one with the experience of being swollen in the front of my nose! Not that others have to suffer it too...I wouldn't wish this swelling on anyone!

I can already tell that your results look amazing! Awesome!

Angie,
Hi There.
I am sure u read my post about my tip being big still after 2 months plus 1 week post tiplasty. U seem to post a lot and was wondering if you have any thoughts on the nose tip shrinking at 4 month post op? Has anyone had final results on their tip 2 1/2 month post op? My nose tip is big still and my doc said that I have 40 percent of swelling left to go in my tip. Do you think that would make a world of difference? I am venting on here as this looks like the place to vent.
I probably seem mental but just overly concerned.
Pls Advise on the swelling.
Thanks,
Sara

For me it was a difficult experience, but it was worth it. I now have the nose which I should have been born with, rather than the one I ended up with.
I didn't anticipate how difficult it'd be, but if I could go back, I'd still do it.
My advice is to do your research before you go ahead and see someone who specializes in noses, NOT just a general plastic surgeon.
Good luck, whatever you choose!
