28 Year Old Rhinoplasty 12/08/15 - White Plains, NY

So it's been one year. I get lots of messages from girls who are also thinking of getting their nose done and are super nervous. The surgery is a piece of cake. DrC and his staff were excellent and it was easier then going to the dentist. What most ppl including myself go through post surgery is dealing with recovery. It's hard to adjust to a new face especially at the beginning when you are swollen. That being said, you also need to adjust your expectations. Surgery can only do so much. It will never be perfect and I don't know if any dr can give you perfect, but an improvement you will definitely get. 90% of recovery is mental. You have to accept your new nose and be happy with it which is harder said then done, which is why so many ppl including celebs continue to go under the knife multiple times, never satisfied. If you are a strong mental person you will get through it. But surgery is not for the weak willed.
That being said, I am happy with my results. My profile is perfect and my tip does not droop. From the front my nose isn't perfectly straight but it wasn't straight to begin with and its not so obvious now that the swelling is gone. It doesn't even show up in pictures (unless you look for it) and nobody seems to notice it except for me. My breathing has returned back to normal but took over 6 months. I still have oily skin but that too is starting to improve especially since using tea tree oil on my nose. Like I said my results aren't perfect but I love the way I look now compared to before so for me it was well worth it. All I can say is be positive and stay strong! Good luck ladies

Just wanted to do a brief updated. It's been 10 months since my rhinoplasty, and even though the beginning was rough and recovery immediately after was emotionally draining, I am happy to say I love my nose & I am so happy I went through with it! Healing takes time and the swelling really dose mess with your mind especially the first 4-6 months. I don't know if I will see any more changes going forward but right now I am very pleased with my result. My nose still gets oily... though way less then before and it is still tender.. Not painful in anyway but I am always super careful with it. Besides that my breathing is pretty much back to normal but I do find that my nose is a little more sensitive and can easily become congested when its dry outside. These are all minor issues that could be expected with any nose job. Enjoy the pics and wish you all beautiful results! And remember give yourself time to heal!

3 months post Op and my nose is looking pretty good. I am definitely liking it a lot and as time goes by I can see the swelling going down. My only issues thus far is my skin on my nose is still extremely oily and flaky, and I am still having issues breathing. I can breath through both nostrills on and off or one at a time, but for 80% of the time it's easier to breath through my mouth. I hope these issues will clear up as more time goes by. Other then that my nose looks pretty good. I think like most ppl I can still see a few things I would prefer to fix/ change but none major enough yet to warrant any drastic action.
