5 months and still small changes...

You will read from everyone who has had the surgery that they noticed changes for up to a year. I can tell you that my nose is still changing. My only regret is that I didnt have the surgery sooner. I still have routine follow up visits with my surgeon and he continues to be one of the best surgeons I have ever met.

I hope everyone else is healing well, and adjusting well. Good luck to those thinking about it, and speedy healing to those who are fresh post-op patients. I will try to remember to update a picture again in a few months.

antibiotic and appt tomorrow...

Think I have a infection on my left side. :( Called my ps and he gets back from vac tomorrow but he was kind enough to get me an antibiotic so I could get it started. Did a lot of running around today, and my nose just feels so congested today. I keep telling myself this will pass...:)

As I get on my email I find all the posts to this page about the botox/fillers. lol You guys crack me up. I don't think I ever asked about either one but obviously those of you who posted thought I needed to know about it. Nice guys...that is no different than having someone say, "Oh, you need rhinoplasty". Just a bit of advice, don't feed into the negative posts that get posted on here, on anyones site. And, don't carry it forward. You just encourage that behavior. IF I had asked about the info, I'm sure I could have found the proper site for it on here, no different than rhinoplasty for noses. So, please, keep the site for what it is supposed to be about...support. IF you feel the need to post about something like this, then do it on your own blog...I like to keep mine related specifically to my journey, and be able to offer help to others. As I read my comments, I'm sure others will too and they will question what kind of support system we have on here.

Thanks!

Almost three weeks post op

Still a little congested daily. My nose is still swollen and tender. Some days worse than others but I do not regret my decision at all. I have one suture that is trying to come through that bugs me but I had the doc take a peek at it and we will monitor it until it breaks the skin. My coworkers and friends are really noticing the changes now and that makes me feel good. I'm finally able to smile more as well.
Here's some latest pics.

He sets the bar very high for others to be compared to. He is polite, professional, confident, and HE LISTENED TO ALL OF MY CONCERNS. His staff were polite, helpful and encouraging. I loved that he was proud to show me the many pictures of his work. My initial office visit lasted two hours. My preop visit was just as positive with him taking my pictures and reassuring me that he could do everything I have asked. I had my surgery with him on May 19th and he corrected my deviated septum, my turbinate and completed my rhinoplasty. The surgery lasted about 3 and 1/2 hours. He was great with updating my family on what to expect and his bedside manner remained the best of anyone I know. I had my cast removed and my splints taken out on May 27th and that is when I really realized he listened to every one of my concerns and did exactly what I asked of him. His work is perfection. He is approachable. He is kind. He is honest. Sutter North Medical Foundation is lucky to have him as one of their own. I will recommend him to anyone who needs plastic surgery done, without hesitation.
