WORTH IT$6,500
so im about 10 days post op right now and i dont know how i feel. myy nose looks amazing from the side, but the front is so incredibly swollen (im led to believe), and is about double the width of my old nose. it was a closed rhinoplasty though and my doctor even told me he wouldnt change the width of my old nose since he himself said it was nice the way it is. and those bones dont feel broken too, so i have hope that it will return to its normal width.
heres to hoping.
if it does, however, then id be very pleased and im going to go ahead and say this was 100000% worth it.
ps i dont want to add pics just yet because i feel disgusting/ ugly. maybe when i start looking right again, ill be happy to laugh over the recovery pics with the world.

put tape on my nose for a few days and it looks way better! it has come down alot an today i even went out in public! im going to post some photos of the transition. ive never come across anyone with a bigger nose than mine (in terms of swollenness) so im about to give hope to lots of people out there.
just added a bunch of photos, kinda all jumbled up. wow cant believe the chnage... def love my new nose but missing the width of my old one, it was much skinnier.. but i know its just swelling! :)

The swelling will go down I can already see that happening. Your profile looks so much better yet natural and now your nose won't be distracting. Give it time, it will shape up . The profile is always the most dramatic result at first

Wools ignore that. I can assure you that yu are still very much swollen. You have a long ways to go until the underlying structure is completely revealed. What does matter is that your nose looks nice from the profile, and it looks good and straight from the front. The nose will surely shrink up over he next 6 months.

thanks for those encouraging words lol sometimes its hard when you see how big your nose is and how odd it still looks. thank goodness for this site!

My nose looked really wide to me after the surgery. Now, 7 months post op, I do want my surgeon to go back in and narrow it. He only did a small osteotomy (where they make cuts and push the sides of your nose in), which wasn't enough. If you research, a lot of docs say that when removing a hump, the osteotomy is necessary to avoid a wide look. In any case, you need to give it at least six months before you can tell anything.

BTW! I forgot to say that your nose looks beautiful. Still swollen but very elegant!

Thanks! Yours turned out great!!
And yes I definitely wanted it thinner to even begin with, since my original nose even had a bit of wideness near the tip but my doc said it would interfere with my breathing which I'm not sure if that's completely true since you just told me about this other procedure. I know my bridge is pretty thin naturally which he said he'd keep, but the tip wasn't.. I will probably look into thinning it in the future cos I don't like the wideness at all!
