Thanks for posting at the 3 month mark! Your nose looks really beautiful. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but did your nostrils even out and end up being the same size?

Hey Guys, So im a little more than 1 month...
Hey Guys,
So im a little more than 1 month post-op and I have mixed feelings about my nose...Sometimes I wonder if I liked my old nose better. This nose is def different. And it def has flaws - It leans to the right (or left in pictures). It looks like the columella is crooked. Also my nostrils are realllyyy uneven, and you can notice it front on. I can't notice it so much in person (maybe its because Im used to looking at it) but in pictures you can tell. One nostril looks alot higher than the other and bigger than the other.
I know theres nothing I can do and this was a risk that I took with the surgery. I just hope with time it evens out... but it seems like as time goes on, and as the swelling goes down, you can notice it more....

Thanks for sharing. You look great! I am planning on getting my nose done in January and fear the same mental issues. The pain does not scare me as much as the self doubt after. Thank you for the check list of items as well.. It's nice to see what supplies I'll need.

yup! I think the self doubt while the cast is on is the worst part! for me it didnt hurt at all (thank god) just take your time finding a doctor and you should be fine!! good luck with your surgery xoxo

could the unevenness be due to different allotted time for swelling for each nostril or is it just physically stitched higher? This is worrying. I have my appointment next week and I'm worried since I want to get the nostril tuck.
Btw I dont see it in the photos you posted but what I do see is a significantly good change in tip, your tip looks extremely nice as does the nose overall, it's seamless with your face and I wouldn't have known that you had the procedure. I hope to get a similar result :)

Im praying that the uneveness is due to swelling - but im not sure at this point. The nostrils dont seemed to be stitched at different heights (that I can tell), however i think MAYBE during the nostril tuck he "tucked' one a little more than the other? You probably will only get the nostril tuck if you need it. I knew before my surgery that It would be something I needed considering my nostrils were really large/long. If you dont need it, I wouldnt recommend having it done because (1) may make nostrils uneven? (2) makes recovery a bit more difficult (just with the stitches and stuff). Good luck with your surgery!! If you have anyyyyyy more questions feel free to inbox me! xo

you know I googled "alar base narrowing" which I'm assuming is the same as "nostril tuck" and it seems like they cut a wedge off the outside at the base and then stitch/kinda tuck them in. Is this what you feel was done on you? and likewise, I know for sure that I will have to get mine tucked, it's actually one of the primary goals of why I want the procedure in addition to fixing my tip which is droopy and too bulky.
How hard did it make recovery, did you have to peroxide the stitches? I am going to see Dr. C in 2 days so I'm looking forward to what he has to say and then narrow down and book my surgery either with him or my other doctors I've consulted.

I have one of my nostrils higher than the other too and it bothers me a little. I noticed putting lighter powder on the edge of the higher nostril helps to make a visual difference as far as height or making it appear more round instead of slightly notched. Not sure if it really helps, but in my mind it does. You are beautiful before and after.

Thats funny that you mentioned that, because I was actually thinking about putting makeup on to make them appear more symmetrical! Maybe next time Im bored and have time ill fool around with that! happy to hear that you thought it helped (even though your nose looks perfect to me)! love your new nose and your beautiful before and after as well! xoxo

thank you! your right about this being a mentally tough journey for us who get facial surgery. PS i didn't even notice the slight uneven nostrils until you had mentioned it and I think the nostrils thing really bothers us because we are looking for flaws. If someone off the street saw us I guarantee they wouldn't notice unless they specifically looked at our nose and our nose alone.. because people see our faces as a whole picture.

your probably right. and people have even said that - that if I didnt point it out they wouldnt have noticed it. lets just hope they mean that are arnt just being nice! haha
