6 mos pics!
6 month update!
stretch between updates but the last few months have been rather challenging (not at all related to my procedures) but from now on I will be more e-present so if anyone has questions they would like to ask privately, please feel free to do so and I will be sure to get back to you in a timely manner.
So.... 6 mos post op, I am happy to update that I have 0 regrets and love, love, LOVE my results!
I uploaded some pics I took this afternoon so you can see how things have progressed. Given Dr. Motykie's stellar reputation I had no doubt that the appearance of my nose was always going to be improved but the big surprise for me was the HUGE difference facial fat grafting has made. It has been a night and day difference and I am beyond thrilled with the result!
While I haven't reviewed my breast lift/augmentation formally here- I'm going to give a quick update in case anyone is curious.... My result is nothing short of SPECTACULAR. I could not have hoped for or dreamed of a better outcome.
Looking back 6 months on I have only positive things to say about my experience. Diana, my patient coordinator and Menal, a medical assistant at Dr, Motykie's practice have both been absolutely wonderful during every step of the pre and post op phase. They are two truly intelligent and compassionate ladies whom I hold in the highest regard and am so thankful to have had such wonderful individuals directly involved in my care.
It is no secret I think highly of Dr. Motykie- However, before I had my procedures I had no idea if he was as amazing as he appeared. I had my doubts, I mean, how was he able to create perfection where so many others failed miserably leaving a slew of devastated patients in their wake? After digging deeper, discovered Dr. Motykie's foundational educational background to be impressive and very telling- his academic concentration inspires confidence in his ability to deliver results which are both structurally and functionally sound as well as being aesthetically pleasing. Learning this connected the proverbial dots for me and sets him in a class of his own- as evidenced by his phenomenal online galleries (be sue to check them out!).
As a 'real' patient I can attest that I have found Dr. Motykie to be very approachable, open and receptive to my feedback and am extremely pleased with my results. In fact, so much so that I will be having a few more procedures in September with many more to come thereafter.
Attached are some pics from today (see separate post) I am fairly certain that what I see now is a good indication of what my final outcome should be as I no longer experience any obvious swelling. Enjoy!
Happy healing all xoxo
16w
Healing wise things are going well- my nose is still stiff and I'm still massaging it and its numbness has reduced a lot this past week. I am still loving the FFT but this week I am having more swelling than usual- I think lack of sleep and stressing about whether I was accepted into a new course plus some other stuff- may have contributed to that as my diet has been super clean, I've been working out more than usual and have dropped a bit of weight.... Who knows though? Swelling is a beast and I've long since given up trying to explain or rationalize it :)
Here are some pics from today/tonight- my face has been really puffy all day but, like I keep telling myself, this whole process is a marathon not a sprint. I can't wait to see the final result in 2 months!
Happy healing friends! xoxo
Provider Review
Dr. Motykie was very low key during our consultation, not flashy, no huge ego just seemed very down to earth and quiet. He had a very calming presence which immediately put me at ease, which when you're half naked in front of a stranger exposing what you perceive as being SO bad that you seek a plastic surgeon to permanently alter your appearance... Well, to feel comfortable in that awkward situation is testament to Dr. Motykie's sensitivity and understanding of how emotional (and embarrassing) this process can be for a patient. I selected Dr. Motykie to perform multiple procedures (primary rhinoplasty, breast lift and augmentation, liposuction and facial fat transfer) based upon his reputation and phenomenal photo gallery despite living on the east coast and the considerable expense associated with doing so. I am only a few weeks post-op and still recovering, so the final result is yet to be seen, but I am very hopeful for a great outcome!
