3-4 months after surgery

Sorry for the delayed update. I have tried to do an update several times, but it kept failing to load. Basically I remain satisfied with the outcome of my procedures. I think my breast aug with lift and booty lipo came out great, exactly as I wanted. I really like my nose as well, but if I'm being totally honest, I would like my tip to be less bulbous, smaller and narrower. I saw Dr. Gutierrez at 3mos post-op, he said everything looked good, but noted my nose is still swollen and the tip hard bc of scar tissue. Also i still have residual dark marks/bags under my eyes. He gave me a shot of cortisone to my nose tip. I can't say I noticed any difference, but he also said I should come back for 1-2 more injections. He also had me get a Rx med to help reduce the swelling. Again, I'm not sure if it's helpful or not. But regardless, I am satisfied with how things turned out, and I suppose that's all that really matters, right! ;)

Hi all,
I just wanted to provide some updated pics of my nose and body. Also say that I am very happy about with all aspects of my procedures. The BBL is subtle, which is what I wanted...just added a bit fuller projection and roundness, and narrowed the waist region. He did about 700cc each upper cheek. My breasts are very big and round, I love them! I love my nose too, I still look like me, just a better defined and little narrower nose, I love it!

Hi, here I have posted a few more pics. FYI: just woke from a nap, nose is looking extra oily. I've noticed that since rhino, i have excessive oil production. Research I've done indicates that is very common. Any who, I'm now 1 mo and 6 days post surgery.

I have spoken to Dr. Gutierrez many times. He has always been open, informative and so helpful. He never makes me feel silly or that I'm wasting his time with my many many calls and questions. Our talks are never rushed. I really appreciate his candor too. I feel he and my desires and expectations are in line. We met in person on day before my surgery. My day of surgery, me, my hubby and Dr. Gutierrez had an in depth consult for about 2hours. He performed rhinoolasty, breast lift with augmentation and BBL. Surgery went perfectly well. I stated here at the estheticos recovery clinic, for 6 days posstop. Frankly, I can only say nice things about Gr. G and his entire staff. He checked on my constantly, and like him, the nurses and staff are very friendly, skilled and professional.
