Happy with my nose
It's not perfect. Because it's shorter, it naturally appears wider from the front (even though it's not). But it is a major major improvement and I am so much happier with a lot more confidence. I no longer stress about my nose and how I look from the side. I'm far more comfortable and happy with my appearance in pictures. I have zero regrets ! This was perfect timing.
I also recently had 1 ml of dermal filler into my chin to correct it's flat appearance due to my slight overbite. It's really made a great improvement to the balance of my face! Here are some recent photos.

Nose is far more moveable and real feeling/less stiff
Still feel the stiffness/tenderness in the tip
I definitely see the major improvement however am not happy with how my nose appears wider (perhaps because it is shorter)
I am hoping to see a bit more refinement in the tip over the next few months. Hopefully achieving a slimmer frontal look.
Still very happy I made this decision.

Thanks for the posts! Your nose in the last pics looks great! Did the tip get more refined like you wanted? I'm considering Dr Adamson for nose surgery and I'm wondering what made you choose him over Dr. Moore in the end? I was going to go for a consult with Oakley/smith but the pics on his website don't show dramatic changes in my opinion, a little TOO natural. Since Dr. Adamson doesn't have photos on his website, what were the ones you saw in his office like... more conservative or dramatic? Many thanks for your help!

If you're looking for a nose that appears to have had work done on it, then Dr. Adamson is not for you. He gives you the perfect nose for your face, and his results are beautiful, yet natural. I had my own rhinoplasty done with him in August, and I am in love with my results. I also had a consult with Dr. Smith, however Dr. Adamson's consultation was more personal and he spent more time trying to get to know you and what you are hoping to achieve. Just to give you a heads up if you are considering Dr.Adamson, he is closing his practice in the spring as he is retiring!

don't worry yet, it takes ages for the tip to go down, I know from my own. It looks great so far

Hey, I hope you’re feeling a bit better :) I’ve been stopping by your review since you started your journey, also going through the same thing myself and I know it’s hard to wait. If it helps, 6.5 weeks is only 1/8 of a year, so you’re probably still pretty swollen with a lot of time for improvement (disclaimer- not a doctor!) Also, if you’ve been worried about the way your nose looks in phone camera pics, try taking mirror selfies. The wide angle lens makes noses (particularly swollen ones) look bigger than they really appear to the people around you. All that aside, I hope you don’t worry too much and get to relax a bit. You’re a very pretty girl with a wonderful smile. Good luck with your studies!

How have your nostrils evened out? I am two yrs post and my nostrils are not even at all. I went to Dr. Smith. I like me nose but do not love it. Its not a $10 0000 nose that's for sure. Oh wel. But I really like my profile. My front - not so much. I thought it would improve but two yrs later it hasn't.

Hey, thank you so much for posting such an honest, detailed account of your experience here. We're the same age and your review gave me a pretty good idea of what that brutal first week of recovery was going to look like. I'm almost 2 weeks out and starting to understand just how emotional this process actually is. In addition to healing physically, we have to reconcile emotionally with the change as it happens -- and that's so difficult to do when things are swollen and wonky looking. Wanted to give you some reassurance here. When I compare your 2 week photos to this week, I see a HUGE decrease in swelling (esp. near the top of your bridge and in your tip). Based on this and the fact that you're still so early on in the healing process, I really think that some beautiful changes will occur in the next several months as the swelling continues to resolve. You are a beautiful girl and you are beginning a brand new chapter in your life! Please take care and be kind to yourself. Hope you have a great semester!

I am at 6.5 weeks as well. My swelling has subsided a little but my nose looks huge and it feels hard to the touch. I have some strange bumps and the incision areas are still visible. I am not thrilled but I saw my doctor a week ago and she said I am healing normally. I feel like my nose is huge and feel it will be like this permanently. I'm very thankful for your continued post as I feel less alone. From your pictures your nose looks really good and if what my doctor says is correct the swelling will take at least 9 months to recede. Good luck on your journey and please continue to post. I look forward to reading them.
