New pics
I haven't updated in a while because I have been super self conscious about my nose and the darkness under my eyes, but here are some pics from before, 5 and 6 months post op for comparison.

How do you feel about your nose? Likes/dislikes? I can't really tell what it looks like now by the pics. Also, I noticed dark circles under my eyes after my primary rhinoplasty too. I had a hump and skinny nose like you too. I hear taking the hump down can cause the eyes to hollow more. I did SO much research on that topic and other women swear by the dark circles after rhinoplasty too...

I still think my bridge needs to be narrowed a little bit but doctor golden won't work on it until its been a year. Sometimes I like it but most of the time I am still very self conscious about it and feel like I still have a big nose. My friends all say that its beautiful and my face looks gorgeous but idk i still am hypercritical about my nose. The dark circles are still around my eye but they are slowly going away, I asked golden if i could get injections under my eyes to make them less noticeable but he wants me to wait at least a year before I do anything like that, so I am trying to be patient. I've purchased a ton of products for under eye circles and darkness but nothing has really worked or shown any noticeable improvement.

I HONESTLY think it looks good! It's still going to take some time for it to thin out/get some more definition. I can see how the hump before caused your nose to be thinner and I'm sure it will get thinner in time. It looks VERY symmetrical which is amazing because that's hard to achieve with rhinoplasty!! I think under eye creams will be the best route, I've been using them religiously since I noticed my dark circles from my first rhino, it helps! You do have a very natural beautiful face, your friends are so right. Rhinoplasty is a very tough thing to go through, it's such an emotional rollercoaster. I only hope that in a year your nose looks amazing and you don't have to touch it again!! Best of luck to you, and again you're gorgeous no matter what!! I too always thought my nose was still big after rhino and wanted a teeny nose, but I guess sometimes there's only so much you can do with the nose you're given. Honestly from the pics that I see your nose does NOT look big! I think it will shape up nicely when your end result sets in! My end result took over a year the first time...

Thanks! Yeah my nose is still swollen around the bridge and it looks a little uneven but it is slowing going down and my eyes are still really dark but I've been using lots of makeup trying to cover it up.

Ok thanks, did you ask your doctor if there is anything he could give you for it? I'm supposed to see my doctor sometime this week so I'm going to ask if there are any sorts of prescription creams he can give me for it or if I can get laser bc I literally have to use the whitest concealer on my entire face to make it an even color and then put a ton of makeup on top and its way too much work.

Hi there, I'm curious if Dr. Golden recommended anything regarding the dark circles after your last appointment? I'm also noticing them round my eyes a bit now (about 7 weeks PO) and wondering if it will eventually fade or if there is something I can be doing. Thanks!
