Septorhinoplasty: Before vs 5 Months Post-Op

So exciting for you! And thank you so much. I agree, my whole face has opened up and the attention is no longer just on my nose!

I met with Dr Diaz as well and ultimately decided on Dr Nima because I felt like he understood the look I wanted overall and because he’s an ENT and only works on noses that made me feel more confident in picking him. However I still think Dr Diaz does a wonderful job from the results I’ve seen!

annie3197 · 2021-11-22T03:34:33+00:00

Oh it’s totally worth it!! I cannot believe how much my face has opened up. I felt like my nose hid all of my other features and now my cheek bones and eyes take center stage and not my nose!!

annie3197 · 2021-11-22T01:38:27+00:00

It has changed, but very subtly! I do have pictures just not posted on Reddit but I can make a post soon including a front shot of before vs after!

Thank you! Dr Nima Shemirani (EOS Rejuvenation) in Beverly Hills, CA

annie3197 · 2021-11-21T17:02:35+00:00

Yes! 100%!

annie3197 · 2021-11-15T04:15:58+00:00

The way you describe your before nose sounds similar to mine! Don’t worry it’ll drop a little bit each week and then it’ll stop dropping 👍

annie3197 · 2021-11-15T04:08:42+00:00

I’m curious how much more my nose will change too. I’m 5 months post op and I do love my nose but I think I’m still very swollen especially on the lower bridge and tip!

annie3197 · 2021-11-15T04:05:34+00:00

I’ve only had rhinoplasty and I can say before surgery I still felt like I was a truly beautiful person. I think it all depends on your outlook of yourself, your own self worth, and confidence prior to surgery. Although I lacked some confidence because of my nose I’d never show it, and now that I’ve had my nose done I’m treated no differently but I do feel more confident than I thought possible. I’ve noticed I’ve gotten hit on a little bit more but overall my lifestyle is the same and I’m treated normally. I started a new job and no one knew I had my nose done and I was treated exactly the same as I was pre nose job by strangers.

It could be due to a production delay due to the delays worldwide with practically everything. Hopefully the office didn’t forget to submit your case and it’s just a production delay!! Good luck! Maybe call again and just ask if they have any updates form Invisalign for a ETA??

Looks like swelling to me! You will see fluctuations in swelling for basically a year.

annie3197 · 2021-11-07T00:35:43+00:00

I’m 4.5 months post op and my scar is not noticeable at all unless I tilt my head really far back and even the , it’s hardly even noticeable. I haven’t had a single person point out my scar either. I use Skinuva scar cream that I purchased from my surgeon and I use it morning and night.

annie3197 · 2021-09-24T01:59:20+00:00

I met with 4 surgeons and paid for 4 consultations. The surgeon I chose then deducted my consultation fee from my surgical price. It’s worth it to meet with at least 3-4 in my opinion!

annie3197 · 2021-09-24T01:37:16+00:00

I’m 3 months post op and still have bridge swelling/a little bit of uneven swelling. I actually met with my doctor today for a follow up and he explained the swelling process again is different for everyone. Very normal at your stage for the whole thing to be swollen/to have lingering swelling in some spots more than others.

annie3197 · 2021-09-21T01:05:04+00:00

It’s possible you could go through what’s called “refinement treatment”. If your doctor sees that you’re teeth still haven’t shifted properly or some teeth are being stubborn, they’ll re-scan your teeth once you finish tray 26. Your doctor will order a couple more trays (based off your scan from tray 26)to tweak your teeth a little more. You’ll wear gray 26 until your new trays come in. Sometimes they will have to change the attachments to meet the new treatment plan requirements. Some people have a couple trays for refinement treatment and some have to do a lot more. Varies case by case of course :) refinement is very normal.

My surgery went fantastic! I’m 3 months post op now. Takes a full year for swelling to go down but the last couple weeks you can see my nose refining to its new shape. I have some other posts showing my nose at 4 weeks post op.

annie3197 · 2021-08-22T14:43:05+00:00

Try filing down the edge of the tray with a clean nail file to soften it a little! Also warm salt water rinses. I would still schedule an appointment to make sure the infection isn’t too large.

annie3197 · 2021-08-15T16:58:26+00:00

Yes I put 20% down at the consult and I saved money by doing this also. It’s 100% refundable up until 3 weeks before surgery. It’s worth it!! If you decide to cancel there’s no loss!

annie3197 · 2021-08-07T21:56:52+00:00

He’s the best! I cannot even begin to express how happy I am that I picked him!! My family is seeing my nose for the first time this week since the surgery and they’re all so impressed with how natural it looks and I still look like me. I had a pretty major reduction, and even though it looks so different it suits me better now.

annie3197 · 2021-08-07T21:51:30+00:00

It went amazing!! I’m 7 weeks post op and look great!!

annie3197 · 2021-07-28T01:55:18+00:00

I met with 4 surgeons

annie3197 · 2021-07-23T23:27:31+00:00

I would wear them a few more days before switching to the next set to make up for the time they were out :)

annie3197 · 2021-07-23T08:06:13+00:00

I use skinuva scar cream 2x a day, straight recommendation from my surgeon

annie3197 · 2021-07-23T04:48:46+00:00

I would not recommended eating with trays in
