My only regret is that I waited so long. :)

5 months and still small changes...
WORTH IT$6,500
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!

Sorry to hear about the possible infection. Hope it all gets cleared up soon!

You look amazing!! I don't understand why people post stuff like that...they are just insecure with themselves. All you need to focus on is how great you look! :)

It looks like a pretty darn GOOD support system to me- 5 or 6 different people came to your defense after someone tried to insult you. I see many encouraging comments before and after your surgery. And countless compliments regarding your nose. No one, other than the one insulting person insinuated that you needed Botox or any other procedure, on the contrary I think everyone expressed that you didn't and are beautiful. It was just a short civil discussion that resulted, which will happen on a blog site that allows comments. Regardless- my apologies because it is your blog.

While I am happy to respect your wishes, there are a lot of blogs where people make suggestions. Personally, I don't see it as an attack or the same as, " get a nose job", more along the lines of, "wow, your nose looks good, maybe consider putting a few sticks of btx in your forehead"... Maybe everyone has a different level of what they consider insulting, but since botox is totally noninvasive/everyone does it, it doesn't seem as rude to me. However, I will respect your wishes and apologize for commenting.

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.

You look amazing! So happy for you! Can't wait to have mine done in hopes of having a great result like yours :)

:) Thank you. I am very pleased with it so far and I can't imagine what it will look like even a month from now. I'm always excited when I see members post updated pictures so I can see the changes and I really wanted to share my own experience. Cant wait to see you with your transformation. :))

Your nose looks fabulous! I love it, great job!!

June 8, 2014
Thank you. :) I don't know if others do this, but I still feel my nose and can't believe that it is MY nose...my other nose was so big and the tip was so droopy and soft. My new nose is def not soft, and the tip is so defined. I'm so happy. :)))

Congratulations on your new nose. It's looking great! I'm 3 days post surgery now and it's so helpful to see other people's recovery stages, especially in pictures. Hope you continue to love your result :)

Kh88 I'm excited for you. I still look at people's changes in their updated profiles. Like you, I enjoy seeing the recovery as much as reading about it from all the members.

Your nose looks great, like the nose you should have been born with! Beautiful results, very happy for you!
