6 Months Post Op
WORTH IT$7,300
It's been such a long time since I last updated on here. It's very true that you spend years thinking about nothing but this procedure and once it's done you just get on with life!
Yesterday I had my 6 month check up with my surgeon. He said I've been a model patient - no fuss, no problems.
I saw my official before and afters which just reconfirmed how happy I am with the result and that I 100% chose the right surgeon for me.
When he said that it was my last appointment unless I need to see him for anything in the future, I actually felt a bit emotional.. could have given him a massive hug but went for the handshake instead! :)
I'm so proud of myself for doing this. I didn't want to be someone that moaned about my looks but never did anything about it. I'm really pleased with my result and could do it all again tomorrow if I had to. I hope that this has helped someone considering surgery in some small way!
I've attached he'd some updated pics.

16 Days Post Op
I'm now just over 2 weeks post op and still loving my new nose. My profile gets better every day and my front is still swollen but improving slowly.
My columella and stitches are still quite red but I'm avoiding putting any makeup on them. I'm hoping it's normal to have a bit of redness though!?
Anyway, here are some updated pics.. :)

You will be fine I'm sure! I cannot stress enough how quick the whole thing went, I was never in any pain just a little discomfort from pressure but definitely bearable. But I know it's easy for me to say! :) I haven't added any more pics as it still looks pretty much the same to me.. but I will do some more at the 6 week mark.

It's not the op I'm worried about, it's what people will say...have a birthday party exactly 1 week after and I know I'm going to have to get out of it somehow! You look great by the way :)

My nose is definitely still really stiff although I'm not as ware of it recently. It's not really sore unless i touch either side of the bridge near my eyes.. or bump it which i stupidly did when i was gawping through a windows yesterday!! lol

S5ill cant make my mind up whether or not to pick james murphy,

It's such a hard decision. You've just got to go with your gut instincts in the end because I found that all of the info given in consultations was much the same.. take your time though, be 100% sure!

I know , im between 2, james murphy or allen rezai,
allen rezai theres not much about him online, and the few that is onoine are all goodnbut years ago, but I love all his work on his website, where as james murphy he has recent reviews like yourself, but I found a good few bad refiews on him, but inlike some of his work ive seen, im sooo confused

Your nose looks beautiful even with the swelling. It will get better soon. Thanks for the update.

Just a quick update as I don't see any real difference from cast removal yet.
The past couple of days I've started to feel more like myself. The dizziness is starting to get less and less which is great. My breathing is pretty much back to normal as it was before surgery although I do have the odd stuffy moment after a shower or first thing in the morning.
Swelling is sticking around and doesn't seem to have gone down at all since cast removal so I think it's going to be a slow process. When I went out in public for the first time I felt like people were staring and somehow knew that I'd had a nose job!! lol but the more I get out and about the less it bothers me. My stitches in my columella are very visible though!
Today is the first day that I could be bothered trying to put some make up on and that's mainly down to the fact that my skin is horrible at the moment. I have spots on my nose which I was expecting but I've also broken out in spots around my chin and cheeks too.. attractive!!
I've attached a couple of pictures and will update again in a few days. Trying to leave a gap between pictures to see if I can notice a difference..

Looks great! Congrats! Thanks for talking about the dizziness. I am so dizzy too 6 days post op. I'm really hoping that stops. I just don't feel like myself at all :( still haven't pooped either! Ha

Ah I know, it's draining. You do start to wonder if/when you'll ever feel normal again! We'll get there though, people just suffer with different things.. For me bruising was good but dizziness was bad!! Oh no! Definitely get onto those laxatives! Ha x

Hey kh88, im considering looking into murphy but im finding alot of good and bad reviews, would you recommend him? Thanks matt

Hi matt. Yes I would, mines far from the final result but I'm happy so far. It's a tough decision but I went with my gut instinct in the end. I got really caught up with the reviews, in the end you've just got to think that no surgeon will have a perfect satisfaction rate. :)

Yeh I know its still early days for you, im seeing some postitve reviews and some not so great, which acares me a little lol, im just like how can they have problems when these patients have great results? Does he charge for consultations. Also how many times did you see him before booking? Does your nose look like the morph he made if he did one?
