WORTH IT$8,000
Alright, I was going to do my next update at 3 months and I still am but I just wanted to let you guys know how I’m feeling. I have NEVER felt more confident in my entire life, my nose is getting WAY more defined and at this point I am more then happy with it. I didn’t think it was even possible to get a result like this… Dr. Oakley Smith literally went beyond my expectations and I couldn’t be happier. I’m almost a month post op and I feel great! I went to another audition the other day and I feel way more comfortable in front of the camera just because I’m not focused on what angle their filming me from… it’s amazing! I can already tell that this is the best decision I ever made. I didn’t really realize just how bad my break affected my self esteem well… I guess I just learned to live with it but now… NOW! I don’t think about it at all if anything I’m thinking about how great my nose looks. If you guys are considering looking into Rhynoplasty seriously consider seeing my doctor! I can’t find one bad review on the guy and all of his work looks natural… he won’t give you that “pinched look” and he actually pays attention to your other features creating a nose that best suites your face… It doesn’t matter how many times I photoshop an old side profile picture of myself I can’t make it look as good as the nose he gave me… and this is REAL LIFE. BAHAHAHAH sorry I’m done rambling. If anything my review lets you guys realize just how depressing the recovery processes actually is. I HATED my nose after surgery and I felt like the swelling would never go away… I honestly didn’t believe it was swelling, I thought my nose was stuck like that and I guess that’s why im so happy now. I learned to live with my swollen nose telling myself it was going to be like that forever and now that the swellings gone down so much I feel like a million bucks! I still have a ton of healing to do and that only makes me more excited! How can it possibly get better then this? Ahhahaha I’ll post a new update in 3 months! HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE!

Alright so I’m 3 weeks post op and I’m feeling… Alright. My new nose is growing on me and keeps getting better. It is not perfect, not even close at this point but I do have a ton of swelling. 3 weeks later and I’m still slightly bruised under my eyes so that tells me that my body obviously doesn’t react well to trauma. I took 3 weeks off of work and start back tomorrow which I’m SO ready for. I have to admit that I have suffered a pretty bad depression after my surgery that I am still battling now. There has been some family issues that could have contributed but I know the main cause is my surgery and the fact that I have been off work for so long. My Doctor is getting me to take an Advil a day for the next month because it’s an anti inflammatory and my swelling is BAD. (I know my results look good in the pics I am posting, its what it looks like with flash and in certain lighting that is frustrating me). I’ve been taking it for about 4 days now and I’ve already noticed a big difference in swelling. My tip is still uneven but I’m not going to freak out because it does feel like swelling. My nostrils are actually getting better which I am so surprised/happy about! They are not perfect at all BUT it’s something that I can live with and since they have changed so much already I’m almost certain they will get even better. I’m happy that my nose doesn’t have a “fake” or “operated” look. That was my number 1 concern going into this. It still doesn’t have that much definition to it and it seems to have a bit of a puffy look but again the swelling is bad, it’s actually SO annoying and I think that doctors should really stress just how long it takes for everything to settle. I think physiologically I see the swelling and I feel like that’s my nose for good and its crazy frustrating because I KNOW it will change, well hope. SEE I just did it… UGH. Anyways I posted new pictures. They are at 3 weeks and I will do an update at 3 months so everyone can see how much it’s changed and how I’m feeling about it for now I am happy with it. Thanks for all the comments sometimes I have to read em to get me through the day!

Alright so today was the first day I took a picture with flash. I’m a guy who never cries, and I broke down. My nose looks HORRIBLE with flash its all uneven my nostrils are so noticeable and my nose just looks fat and twisted! Its been 2 weeks is this all swelling? At this point after seeing these pictures I am horrified!

I just had my rhinoplasty Jan 17th. I'm pretty bruised up and the swelling is very similar to what yours was.
I feel that my nose is a bit fat, I really hope it's the swelling and that it goes down a lot soon. Did you find that your nose was very swollen when you had your rhinoplasty???
