It's been more than a year since my surgery and I've not updated in a while. I couldn't be happier with my results. You can see from my driver license what a huge difference it made, please excuse the lightening I'm not really orange it just made me look like an oompa loompa. I've not had as many issues with my sinuses since the surgery either. I'm all around super happy with my results and don't even think about my nose like I did pre surgery. It really did help with so much (breathing and self confidence) If you are contemplating going through this surgery have realistic expectations and find a reputable doctor.

It's now 4 months since my surgery. I am pretty well back to normal, normal for me that is :). I am still very happy with my results and can tell a big difference with my sinuses. With it being spring now, I would have already had a sinus infection or several by now. I haven't as of right now. I don't think I have much swelling now. I don't think my nose will change much more. The tip of my nose is still stiff and kind of hard. I can now touch my nose without it being tender. I have been taping the tip of my nose for the last few months because my nostrils were slanting to one side. This has really helped! I don't notice it now. I think my nose is a target though, since my surgery I have had more bumps to the nose than before. One of my dogs headbutted me and that was the worst one. All was well, nothing broken. I have attached a few recent pictures.

Thank you for updating!!! Your new nose is so cute!! He did an excellent job on the side grafts, I was curious to see someone with a nose like mine have this done, I'm truly happy for you.
Thank you!! Never in my life would anyone ever called my nose cute lol. I appreciate that more than you know! Do you have a date set our still researching? Thank you again :)
It's beautiful!
Thank you!!! I read through your review a while ago. I hope all is going well with you.
Hello! You look great, are you still loving your results? I think I'm close to finalizing my decision of choosing Dr. Wayne as my surgeon. Can't wait to drive down to see him!
Hi! thank you! I really do still love my results. I still look like myself just improved. I am so glad I got the surgery just like many have said wished I done it sooner. He is really a great doctor/person. He's so easy to talk to. I think you'll be very pleased. When do you get to see him?
Hopefully this fall! It's about an 8 hour drive for me so it's not the most convenient but I'm just not feeling good about the doctors in my area and I want to do it right the first time. My gut is telling me to go with Dr. Wayne! Glad you're still loving it! :)
Oh that is a good drive for sure and will be worth it! Definitely go with your gut feeling, it's a big decision. I wish you the best luck and hope everything goes great. Can't wait to hear how your consult goes.
Thanks so much!! :)
It looks fantastic!
Thank you!!
Fantastic !!
Thank you!!

I am now 2 months post op and so glad I took a chance on getting my surgery. I read a lot of people only have the regret of waiting so long, I totally feel that way! I have some congestion still but it's not too bad. I don't have near as many headaches as I did prior to the surgery. I had a follow up appointment recently and that went well. I had mentioned to Dr. Wayne I felt the tip of my nose was leaning to the right a little. I notice it in my nostrils. So I have been tapping the tip at night, he said this should help. He had also mentioned that I didn't appear to have much swelling, only really inside my nose. I still really love how my nose and nostrils looks! I am posting a before and after front view to show what a difference it is.

Your new nose looks so good!! What does he do that makes the bridge look better? People say swelling, yes, but how does it go from skinny to bulbous tip, to smooth all the way down? I hope I'm clear with my question.
Oh thank you very much!! I had cartilage taken from my ear (i don't even notice where it was taken from except a thin scar at the back of my ear) and he used this to reshape my nose. I know my bridge is actually wider but that was to improve breathing. I also had an alar base reduction, this made my nose less wide by my nostrils. You can see how bulbous my tip was from before, makes me cringe lol.
Your nose looks incredible now. Your doctor did a terrific job! I am two weeks post-op myself from rhinoplasty. I am really pleased with the results. I am hopeful that the stiff crunchyness inside goes away relatively soon. Did you experience that?
Thank you!! Thank you!! I agree, I think he did a terrific job and I love my results. I'm so glad to hear you are happy with your results! I did have that (stiff crunchyness) it seemed like it was a month before it went away. Saline nasal rinse really helped, and if you have dryness try saline gel spray. The tip of my nose is still stiff and hard. I would get a stinging sensation also where I had stiches that got better. Then there was itching also, it was so bad at times you want to claw the inside of your nose lol.
Thanks for the reply. When I wrote it, I didn't realize that I also had stints inside each nostril! They were taken out today--FEELS SO MUCH BETTER ALREADY! I am going to use saline rinse like you. Thanks for the reply and info. :)
Oh wow! Yes that has got to feel a million times better. I hope that helps. I had to go check out your review after your comment. You look great!!
FABULOUS! You must be so thrilled. Love the results! Your doctor did a great job! Wonderful!
Thank you!! How is everything going for you? You had some great results yourself :)
Oh thanks. loving my results just like you. hahaha we have good docs!
