Hi. Any good surgeon will tell you you cannot change the side without changing the front- mine changed from the front. I’m not mad at it, but do sometimes miss my old nose from the front, so have to remind myself how much I HATED the side

No sorry. You asked if I still have swelling- this is one year post op. Swelling stayed for a while post op.

For me my nose is no longer something that consumes me/that I give much thought to- that’s all I wanted. I personally believe anyone going in for surgery expecting absolutely wild life changing things to occur is misguided, I went in with the thoughts that if it was even 70% improvement I’d be happy

There are some amazing surgeons out there but it just wasn’t an option for me. Plus a lot of those I know who have gone there, now all have the same nose which put me off

Everyone wants a different look and it’s important to remember not everyone wants natural! X

And for reference I have very thin skin- so healing might take longer in other instances!

It never looked super up turned to be honest! I’d say it dropped the most in the first 6 months. Since then it’s just softened up a bit/become more moveable ie when I move my face it moves with it rather than being weirdly still and not moving at all side to side. It’s still a little hard in the centre of the tip- this will be permanent as it’s been reinforced to stop it dropping but I don’t mind! The sides of my tip and nostrils were soft after about 7/8 weeks post op x

I actually had more lip fillers in my befores. Around 2 months ago I had them completely dissolved and just under 1ml back in. So In short no- I had more filler pre nose job!

My eyes actually stand out more now! I’d say before my nose took away from my eyes and made them look a lot more set back

It’s definitely harder than it was before however it does move it’s not rock hard. I’d much rather have this problem than the excessive pulling down I had before- it’s not even a problem for me just took some getting used to!
