24 Year-old from Poland, Super Happy With My New Nose!

I've always considered myself to be quite...
WORTH IT$3,000
I've always considered myself to be quite attractive so every photo of me taken from the side was like a slap to my face. My perception of myself was just so much different. The realisation that people see me this way was so annoying - so through many years I've developed a habit to never turn my head to the side in front of other people (especially with camera). I just couldn't stop thinking about it.
I never had a problem with any kind of body modifications. In my life I changed my appearance many times and always been happy with the results (either it was loosing weight, getting tattooes or simply changing my hair color). So as soon as I gained financial stability, I decided to go for my dream and fix my nose.
I choose dr. Jaworowski right after my first consultation with him. He was very straight forward about all the details of the procedure and gave me a realistic view of what can be done - which was very similar to what I had in my mind. Our ideas of what could be done to my nose to change it's appearance for the better where practically the same. My tomography pictures also revealed a major septum deviation, which was blocking my left nostril almost completely - I never noticed that because I was always breathing this way but when I found out and tried to block my right nostril I figured out I actually cannot breathe at all :D dr. Jaworowski promised to fix that as well. The healthy functioning of my nose was always his basic concern.
I was super nervous the day of my operation but everything went well. I never felt any pain at all. Of course it was super uncomfortable to breathe with my nose blocked but I read all about it earlier and was prepared. I was also really really swollen, I looked like a little ballon and could barely see :D I went home the next day and I was stuck with my nose blocked for five whole days. That was the hard part. I could only lie in my bed and think about what my nose will look like. I tried so hard not to stress about it and not to stare at the mirror constantly. But it's easier said then done so soon I was over analyzing every little detail :D I was really concerned at first because my nose was upturned and my nostrils looked really huge. 7 days post op, when they took off my cast I was scared by own face. My nose was just a shapeless blob and looked like an ocercooked potatoe :D also the tip was really sharp and pointed. I looked really weird and didn't recognize my own face. I was super stressed but I stayed patient. Few days later my tip dropped a little (the temporary pointyness was caused by taping), nostrils shrinked a little and the swelling reduced. Now, 11 days post op my nose is still reeeeaaally swollen and it still looks weird and big from the front - especially on pictures. But it gets better every day and I can see the beautiful shape underneath. It's straight and just perfectly sculpted. My profile looks waaaaaay better now, I no longer feel like the caricature of myself. Special bonus - my upper lift went up and it changed the whole appearance of my face for the better.
Dr. Jaworowski is a perfect combination of a skilled surgeon and an artist. I'm super glad I have trusted him.
I can't wait to see final results but I'm already so happy with my new face that I want to cry. I was extremely stressed, but the relief makes me feel like it was all worth it.

Hi guys, It's been two weeks and I still absolutely love my profile. The tip got a little bigger but I don't mind. What worries me is my front view. My nose is still really wide and I can't see any progress. I haven't really show my face to anybody yet because it looks super weird from the front. But it's been only two weeks so I think it's just the swelling and I hope it will go down in next few weeks.

The swelling is evil. I'm 6 months out and a few weeks ago, it got so swollen and big again. I started taping again and taking bromelin and it's back to a cute nose. But the swelling is going to vary for a year or so I think Ack! Patience!!

Thanks for sharing! My surgeon didn't mention taping or bromelin so maybe I should ask him about it at my next appointment (in two weeks). I know the swelling may vary for a whole year, but it would really calm me down if I could just see for once that it's cute and small somewhere under all that skin. It hasn't really changed since the first time I saw it post-op. Well, the tip has much better shape now and my skin is more even, but I can't really see it decreasing it's width at all. Well, it's been just two weeks so I try not to think about it too much yet :) At least my profile's cute already.

Well, it's been three weeks and I ended up doing exactly what I promised myself not to - stare at the mirror everyday, trying to notice the difference. I honestly don't know what to think. I can't say I'm seeing any positive change. Sometimes I think it looks ok and sometimes I just can't stand it but I guess is's just the metter of my mood and the lightning, not an actual progress in swelling. I still cover my nose when I'm going out public, cause I think it still looks too weird and unnatural. The bridge is wide and has almost no definition. I really really hope it's temporary and can't wait to see my final results. I have my friends' wedding in three weeks and it would be great if my nose looked fine until then. But I was warned the swelling may take a few months or even a year to reveal the nose's true shape. So I keep telling myself to be patient.
