Better with time
65 days post-op, and feeling like a lot of swelling is gone, but still somewhat tender. Really loving the way the shape is turning out as the swelling slowly alleviates (it is becoming more symmetrical each day).

I read someone whose nose was botched by dr. Solomon, here.

Dr. Solomon. 3 words. I love you. In september, you changed my life. You gave me confidence, and you gave me a perfect, adorable, small, pretty, natural, wonderful, breathable nose!!! I believe it was "closed surgery" as I cannot even see a scar. My motivation for this surgery was due to a bump on my dorsal, breathing problems, and a slightly crooked nose. My healing went just as expected. While it has been just short of 2 months, and it takes a full year to heal from rhinoplasty/ septoplasty, my healing process has flown by and i'm not even fully healed, but I look incredible! words cannot describe how pleased i am with my results.

You look great! Thank you for sharing. Are there any details you can share with us about your recovery and any rough patches you hit as you healed?
hey, thanks for your kind words. I actually have a bunch of tips to share.
Pre-op tips:
-take arnica to prevent swelling and vitamin c to help with healing and keeping your body and immune system strong and healthy.
-eat clean for a month prior to surgery if possible (no drugs no drinking no smoking etc)
-buy all your recovery items well in advance so you're not uncomfortable when you're healing... there is nothing more awkward than going out in public a day or two post surgery - because you will look like you are from the exorcist movie lol and ppl will be scared of your appearance or genuinely concerned for your well being (which was embarrassing for me at least as i had to keep repeating what happened to me to everyone who asked and its really none of their business).
post op:
1. Follow post op instructions to a T.
2. sleep on your back so you dont mess up the repositioning of your surgery.
3. ^I found buying a travellers neck support pillow brilliant - it really helps with sleeping on your back and keeping your head strait as you're healing / sleeping. For me this pillow was a saving grace as i naturally sleep on my right side/face down.
3. Buying a humidifier really helped because your mouth gets so dry in the first week of healing since you cant breathe out of your nose, so keeping that beside my bed was a life saver.
4. drinking lots and lots of water was also extremely helpful in my healing process not only for my dry mouth but my over all health.
5. Salinex nasal spray was a god send and its important to rinse your passages out daily (i did it 2-3 times a day) and kept it very clean / sterile.
6.when the splint finally comes off i found showering a bit hard because when water hits your face your nose is still tender (even 65 days post op I still have tenderness) so when im showering and washing my face in the stream of water, i just use my hand to shield/ cup over my nose (with slight space between the fingers) and this allows me to easily wash my face pain free. (pain is really not strong just minor tenderness at this point).
-hope these tips are helpful to all.
Thanks! Fabulous tips!
Your own argument is defeated by your argument. your entire first message is not only aggressive, but screems condescension and Yes I agree. This is a website about opinions and for you to trample over other's opinions with your own is imposing your anxieties on others. Each of your posts have been filled with your own anger and while there is freedom of speach you should take your hate speech elsewhere. The condescending tones in yor first message make your words seem very disengenuous "hope your nose doesn't droop and shift to one side like mine, stay blessed my dear". You can change the way you look on the outside but it is clear you can't change the way you look on the inside. Why don't you post some legitimate your before and after photos and let's see the truth.
This comment should be removed. Hate speech is a crime and you can't just accuse people of that crime. Realself should not allow publication of this nonsense.
You are so right . We can change the way we look on the outside but its clear the inside will never change for "you" . Very hurtful comments . But your nose really looks beautiful. You are so lucky you had the best care and you are so happy. Don't we all want and need that when we trust a "dr" with our faces and our life's . Ugly or beautiful we deserve equal care .
^ok "torontonian" with your alternate accounts. It seems as though you need me to explain what I meant by my statement towards you that "you can change what you look like on the outside but you cant change what u look like on the inside" and that was referring to your passive aggressive condescending nature. I Apologize if my words were hurtful but if you expect to be condescending and rude to someone, you shouldn't be surprised to get a reaction. And as a person who believes in equality for all, I feel like you are putting words in my mouth, as I do not think people who are ugly on the inside (mean spirited individuals) deserve less care from a medical standpoint. That would be absurd. Everyone deserves the utmost care when it comes to their health, no life is more valuable than the next. So please, take your intimations elsewhere and refrain from making my thread your "new project". One final remark; we all have an opportunity on here to make a personal statement about our doctor, and for torontonian to have already made hers and trample over mine with her negativity is not fair and equal. People who are reading these reviews will look at everyone's and for this person to saturate every positive review with her own negativity is not giving others a fair opportunity to express themselves. No one has a right to take away from anyone else's experience (including myself for that matter) so I would like to make it clear that I am not in any way trying to take away from negative reviews, I'm just trying to explain that we all should have a fair and equal opportunity to express ourselves and we do that with our own reviews. So please keep your review where it has already been posted and respect other's who have the equal right to make their own review whatever the opinion may be. And I'd just like to close by apologizing to you for this argument going as far as it did. when my patience is tested I react and clearly I should work on that, I'm sorry.
Your talking to a wrong person . I'm not torontonian . I'm at hospital this moment and can't really respond but I will respond to you shortly .
All I'm trying to say is, I'm not going on your personal reviews and cutting you down. We all have a chance to make a statement, try not to take away from others on their personal reviews. You had a chance to make yours, now let others make theirs. Whether or not you're torontonian, going on my review and making negative comments is no different than bullying if those comments are taking away from an innocent post that was made with good intentions. I would appreciate if you could just back off and allow people with positive experiences express themselves in peace.
Your so right . We need to take elsewhere our deformed faces and the harm that was done . I agree with you 100% . You deserve to express your happy results and your experience . I believe I complimented you as well . Your nose looks beautiful . I say it again . I wish you the best . I wish I had half the care dr Solomon give to you . Just wanted to share with you as I believed the "karma" was very hurtful and the ugly remark . Jenn :) I wish I knew what filler and what are the side effects and I wish when I was injured wasn't turned away for 4 months in fear of my life . I'm sorry my dear I'm not here to fight I'm here to share my pain but again you are right I need to take it elsewhere my pain and my deformed face . Wish you well . I'm sorry I commented it wasn't my intention to upset you in any way . Best of luck to you .
I'm not saying that at all. All I'm saying for the umteenth time is that you had your comment space and I have mine. Again you're intimating things and putting words in my mouth "torontonian". Stop playing the victim card and start being accountable for your actions. I didn't do that to your face so don't impose your drama on me I'm an innocent person when it comes to what happened with your surgery. I don't need all this drama on my post. U have your post and I have mine - respect others. I respect your post by not commenting on it so please all I'm asking is to give me the same respect. Like I said, everyone who is here to read the reviews will see everyone's review and that includes the negative and positive. U don't need to go and cut down other people's reviews with yours. U have a right to make one, but it's not fair to impose it on people who have nothing to do with u. Give it a rest on my thread. Thanks.
I am the only TORONTONIAN and no one else. See my above comment. Stop your accusatory tone. This is a democratic country and a free forum. We can leave messages and comments as we wish. By the way, it's not patience that you need to work on; it's your logic and sense of perspective (in addition to your eyesight as you think Torontonian and MissKittty are same people!!). Have a nice day ;))
The best part is the timing of your responses to each thread. You totally are the same person. And again your own argument is defeated with your own aguement, a little more logic and u might have fooled me with the alternate accounts. If you're not the same person as miss kitty then throw up a selfie prove it!! Ps also use tonal variation in your writing. It's quite obvious. K thanks. Bye.
Iamjann . I'm real . I wish I wasn't . I wish I didn't write as well under your review seems it has upset you so much and I understand when you have such a caring doctor that give you 100 % the needed care why care about others . Maybe I would've done the same . Your wording is so familiar :) do we know each other ? As if I heard those words before . But I could be wrong . The last K got me confused . My last name starts with K but again I probably am wrong . Won't comment anymore . I agree with you this is not right my harm my injury my deformed face should be elsewhere . Best wishes to you . Dr Solomon wonderful nose job .
You can leave messages and comments as you wish as long as they follow RealSelf's community guidelines, which can be found here.
Sherlock (??!), knowing that any explanation will be obsolete, I should inform you that realself sends you an "automatic" email when someone replies to your posts or even leaves comments on the same thread, hence the timing in our replies! Since I am a REAL person, same as the other people here, I get those messages and make special effort to reply to certain comments ASAP. If you are interested in even more detective work, read the history of my replies, posts, and questions that I've posted here on this website. By the way, you are more than welcomed and, in fact encouraged, to leave comments on my review. No one is stopping you--free country, it is. I am a very lovely person, inside and out, and never leave any comments unanswered ;) LOL...
Do you even know what it means to "defeat an augment?", much less one's own arguments?
Well first and foremost thank you Krasn for comparing my writing to a dr's. Also ppl are doing different things all day long I find it too coincidental that the timing and things mentioned in the comments are all quite similar and back to back regardless of real self notifications, ppl have busy lives and it's really unlikely that 3 different ppl are going to take immediate action against my comments all in less than 5-10 minutes. But if u want to sue me (from your previous mention about accusing you for hate speach, by all means if you have the time Id love to see how far you will go). I'm actually sick today laying in bed with a chest cold, and I wanted to thank u for making my afternoon so amusing with your sillyness. Yeah you can comment and there's freedom of speech but you clearly have no respect for other people who might be healing and already in this whole process who cannot change the past and its reay unnessary to worry others who may not need to be worrying while they are healing. U made your review I made mine and if you had any class or respect for others you wouldn't be taking my review this far. Your experience happed over 4 years ago. Like are you seriously still going on and on? Dr S has had a hell of a lot more patients after you and I'm he has learned from his mistakes and since then has had a lot more practice. You can be angry but there comes a time when you just need to move on. Personally if I had your experience sure I would be mad for a year or two but I'd rectify it - fix it - say what I had to say and leave it at that. Not obsessively slam the guy over half a decade later.
Oh, I forgot to say that you cannot be "accountable" for doing something when you actually didn't do it!! However, I hold, Solomon, the nosegod(!), accountable for what HE did to me. Do you even know what these words mean or are you just opening up a dictionary and throwing words around without understanding what they really mean???? I will not give a rest on your thread; you've accused me of spreading "hate speech". I hold you "accountable" for that accusation. Now, this is the proper use of the word.
LOL... so funny....people's faces and lives and finances have been ruined by greed and incompetence, but they should learn to move on???? That's really funny and amusing...I hope your face and life and identity don't become a joke to other people....Then you'd really laugh...
no it's not your face or your life that is a joke to me, it's your obsession with being angry, and trying to always get the last word in (as you attempt to degrade me me here). Do you bully people like this in your day to day life too, or is it just behind a computer screen where you don't have to reveal your identity? Having had the pleasure of reading all your aggressive messages over a month now, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't have many friends. Hope you can find happiness soon.
Oh wow ... Really . Imjann feel better . I was gonna PM with my picture but I see now it's not needed . :) hope you feel better from a chest cold . I really want you to feel better . Have a great night .
Iamjann . I want you to listen to a song . "These are the days of our lives . By queen . Is really nice song . Relaxing . Old ,not actually what I listen to but it has a meaning . Don't get upset just listen to the song and since your having chest cold relax and enjoy the night and let's end this :) ...
Hi Iamjann . I wasn't comparing your writting to drs . Why would you even say that ;)
You look very beautiful.
Thank you
I hope you're not holding stress over this thread. I'm so sorry it's going this way so far. But on the other side there is staying calm to speed healing. Now you might need to crank those efforts up. : /
Your nose is so lovely! Don't worry. (Best advice I give my kid, that is literally impossible to take by hearing it). I don't expect you will be sharing here much but if you have any pre op or post op advice I'm reading daily as I prepare for this, one of the biggest decisions of my life! Ahhh.
That was the long version of me saying, we support you. It's not really negative and combative here usually. I'm sorry this happened.
I am glad your happy with your nose. You look really good! I also went to Dr. Solomon but didnt have good outcomes. I have a review with pictures on here.
I just looked at your photos and compared them with torontonians and I believe you are the same person. Stop making alternate account its really obvious.
You need to check your eyes...Making double and and triple reviews is what someone's happy "patients" do. Whatever your agenda, I hope it's worth it. At the end of the day, you have to live with your conscience. By the way, the "hate speech" accusation has legal liabilities in case you are going around accusing people of lying and spreading hate speech. Dear, this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Watch your language carefully.
LOL! Sorry but I am not the same person as Torontonian. You looked at my pictures and you looked at hers and you can see that both of our noses look similar. Our noses are the work of Dr. Solomon. So sorry to alarm you but there are other people out there that aren't happy with his results. I don't go around making "fake accounts" I am also not on here to pick fights with people like you. I gave you a compliment and you spit venom out and make false claims. There are many people on this website sharing their stories, good and bad and each of them has a right too. Not every outcome is going to be a good one and no doctor out there is never going to have an unhappy patient. Sorry!
Ok so I will just go to your personal comment on your personal review, disguise my undermining of your opinion with compliments and say what great results I have had. Two can play. And besides which, both you and torontonian have been posting for over 4 years and I'm sure since your results he has had a ton more practice and clearly has learned from past mistakes.
lol you are seriously a joke and embarrassing yourself on here. Move on and get a revision.
haha...funny....read my thoughts below on this really funny joke....
LMAO! You've got serious issues. The fact that your so bothered by me and my review is pretty sad. I dont recall saying anything rude to you with my original post and you reply back saying I am using multiple accounts. Your very defensive and can't accept that I am not happy with Solomon's work on myself. It bothers you that much? Hmmmm.
Have fun!
Your bad experiences don't bother me, you have every right to make a review. What bothers me is that you made your reviews. And you should give others the opportunity to make theirs in peace. Also it is bothersome to have someone disguise themselves with alternate accounts and posing as several people when really you are one in the same. I can see how making 2 additional accounts would make you feel more secure in your attacks of my opinion. If you're different people let's see the proof, torontonian should Post a full picture of her face if it's not the same nose. That's all I'm saying. Let's put an end to this.
I am not torontonian! Lol too funny!
Awesone!!
