Excited, Anxious and a Little Scared, All Rolled Up into One :) - Vancouver, BC

Wow, time flies. I can say now that the cartilidge on the right side of my nose did collapse. I'm disappointed that I Wasn't more bold and now I'd need a revision to fix it (I wouldn't go to the same doc). I also dislike they my tip isn't refined as promised. They being said, I try disguising the imperfections with makeup. I'd be open to trying injections to correct this (although one doc said likely fillers are too tricky to use there). I'd also consider Chim fillers, but at nearly 2k for 6-12m, it's not in my budget.

Do I regret doing it, no, just would have gone for more consults with other doc's before proceeding with this doc.

7 month post op:
So 7 months has flown by. In all honestly, you kinda stop obessing over your nose after the 1.5 month mark. Realistically, it just is what it is ;). Any changes even I can't even notice any more. In ways I regret not getting the chin implant to help my profile a bit more, but in all honesty, even that change would be subtle. I don't have a cute tiny little nose, but a cute tiny little nose wouldn't suit my face. I'm more confident now to wear ponytails and I handsdown love my profile so much more.

An interesting update; for the past 6-8 weeks one or both nostrils get plugged. Not necessarily entirely, but enough that I naturally open my mouth when I sleep to get 100% airflow (vs say 85%). I'm not aware of any allergies, so I'm a bit baffled. My lips get a little chapped, so I've been using saline spray before bed to clear the passage way. Because of this I'm glad that I listened to the doctor and didn't go smaller! I'll have a follow-up appointment in a few weeks :) I'll add an updated comparison pic later this wkd.

almost 4 months post op to the day. Not much has changed, but subtle improvements each month. I had a small steroid injection in the top part of my bridge. I was shocked at how fast the bump went down! My tip is slowly getting to be more refined. I can't get steroid injections there since my skin is thin, so it's a waiting game now. I can tell that it's still a little swollen as the tip still feels a little hard and when I blow my nose it's still feels as if a very minor bruise would feel. Which makes me happy since that means it'll be even more refined. I haven't updated in a while as I don't think about it so much anymore :)
