5 Weeks Post-Op!

WORTH IT$6,525
I'm 5 Weeks and 1 Day Post-Op and I still absolutely love my result!
I have had a few random days where either the bridge of my nose will feel pressure, or the tip will feel especially sensitive, but most of the time I don't even remember that I just had surgery last month.
For my 4 Week Post-Op appointment, Dr. Choe reminded me that my nose will still decrease about 20% more in size, with the final result being around Thanksgiving. It's amazing how much the swelling has gone down already since the cast came off - I remember thinking that I couldn't see any swelling at all, so I wondered what it would look like over the next few weeks. I love my nose more and more as time goes on.
I'll post a more detailed update later, but I just wanted to share some pics!

Post-Op Day 12/13: I'm not a new person; I'm me, but comfortable in my own skin
mtnldyApril 7, 2014
I can't believe it has already been almost two weeks since my surgery!
For starters, I feel great. I am amazed by how quickly the recovery process has gone by. I don't have any bruising left, and my nose does change just a little bit every day which I think is the swelling going down (not that the swelling is noticeable at all). Seriously, I know that the 'final result' shouldn't be expected until 9 or so months after surgery, but I would have been thrilled even if the end result was how my nose looked on Day 7.
So far everyone who knows about the surgery has said how natural my nose looks, which I agree with completely.. it just fits with my bone structure so well. It's funny, because even though I kept looking in the mirror the first day or two after my cast was removed, I really haven't been doing that a ton anymore. Obviously I am excited about the change and feel the warm fuzzies every time I look at my new profile, but I don't feel like a new or different person, I just feel happier and more comfortable in my own skin!

Good thing you didn't have any bruises! I also didn't get any bruises. It's amazing how our noses change everyday. Today I also noticed that my nose has de- swelled on the right side. I am looking forward to having a facial. Do you have any idea when one can have a facial? I forgot to ask my doctor. Thanks for the update.

looks awesome !! I read your section about what you wanted fix about your nose and that sounds very similar to what I would want! also I am the same age as you and have the same problem with volume in my face. if you read my posts you will see that I had fillers put in my cheek area and my chin. I loved it! problem is they didn't last long at all and now I want them again but don't want to keep spending the money haha maybe you could give it a try though to see how you like it. I'm so jealous that you got your nose done, I would love to get mine. thanks for the post and congrats on the new nose!

I GOT MY CAST OFF! Post-Op Day 7

This is surreal. My surgeon reminded me that my nose will still go down about 20% in size, but I am already amazed with the result. I am pretty positive this is how I've wanted to look for years.. so much change to digest!
*I do have to say that I cannot wait to be allowed to get a facial. My skin is kinda gross!

Wow! Great profile. I get my cast off tomorrow. I hope I get good results as well.

Just wanted to say that I've found your reviews really helpful. I am booked in for my rhinoplasty procedure in June 2014 and my nose is very similar to how yours was before. I just hope my result is as good as yours because I'd be over the moon with your post op pic! Hope the rest of your recovery goes well! :)
