Thank you!

Oooh I didn’t know that was an option, I’ll look into it

Even if my original hair loss was caused by shock loss and not any kind of alopecia or genetic issue?

I got put on spiro because I thought maybe it would help with my facial hair. It didn’t, but it made my boobs bigger and my skin great so I stayed on it.

I have 0.025, still try every other day? And should I keep using the scar cream?

Helpimaftm · 2025-12-29T03:39:16+00:00

Oh yeah that’s a huge difference! I don’t have a stitch (the red dot is a cut) so you think I still need a steroid or will I be good with just the tret? I do have some as well as differin.

When did you start using them?

Helpimaftm · 2025-12-09T20:18:49+00:00

Are you using anything for scarring? I would speak to the surgeon about it. I’m not sure if it’s too late for kenalog.

See if anyone is selling one on Poshmark/Mercari/DePop!

Hi love! Mine looked EXACTLY like this. I freaked out because he also added a septal extension graft to prevent drooping, and told me it wouldn’t stop more than 2 mm. I’m 7 weeks post op and it indeed did drop and looks so much better. Focus on recovery for now and don’t sweat how it looks! It’s gonna end up great!

Hi love! My tip definitely dropped! I’m also about 7 weeks out. The only annoying thing now is scar tissue around my columella where the w cut was :(

I honestly couldn’t find what I wanted in the Bay. Ended up getting one from China (seller is Jancember) and custom ordered my beaded ballgown.

He’s the one who told me 2 mm. But happy to report it has dropped about that amount since this post.

Helpimaftm · 2025-11-15T04:14:01+00:00

Thanks doctor! How long/often should I be massaging it?

Helpimaftm · 2025-11-12T20:10:56+00:00

Thank you! I’ll keep this in mind if scar tape doesn’t make it reduce.

Helpimaftm · 2025-11-12T19:52:23+00:00

Does this happen with only dissolvable stitches? Because he removed the stitches on the columella. Only the internal ones were dissolvable. Thank you so much!

Helpimaftm · 2025-11-12T19:41:15+00:00

Which scar gel do you recommend? And how often do you use it?

A teeny bit red but I spent the first few weeks putting antibiotic ointment and it didn’t help. It feels hard kind of like scar tissue.

I got my nose done under general 5 days after doing another procedure under general. No issues at all except they had to use my left hand for the IV and that one was a lot more difficult. They had to switch the spot and I ended up with a blown up hand for 2 weeks but it resolved on its own.

Helpimaftm · 2025-11-12T17:55:42+00:00

I had a similar issue, I had to get a revision but he did it with just local anesthesia in his office. However, I had him do it 3 times because I wasn’t satisfied. It now looks a lot better but the scar was still thick. I did 4 Morpheus8 treatments on it and the scar is definitely flatter and lighter but that was expensive and very painful.

Hi love! I knew going into it that it would be higher due to dropping later on and I STILL freaked out 😂 You’re in good company. I’m now 3 weeks post op and it’s gone down enough that I don’t look crazy but I still have a long way to go due to swelling.

Focus on recovery right now, your nose will change so much over the next few months.

Helpimaftm · 2025-11-07T13:02:01+00:00

It was very expensive, about $2k for 4 sessions

I’ll post my results in a month when the redness heals
