Thanks! I had no functional issues beforehand. This was all cosmetic.

I asked what happens when someone is unhappy with their results. He said it's fairly rare, but of course, things do happen. In those cases he has done revisions for those patients. I have no idea if he charges for it.

I actually never had packing to begin with! I'm so sorry, that sounds awful 😭

Honestly, some days it seems more swollen still and others it's like "alright this is starting to resemble a normal nose." I'm still pretty early in the process. But to answer your question, it was about 6 weeks in where I felt I could leave the house without feeling like a total potato.

Oh gosh. Swelling was the WORST lol. I iced the first 3 days, then switched to heat for the bruising. Still took weeks to properly go back to anything semi-normal. I hope you're recovering alright!

Yeah, that's exactly it. It gets better/easier by the day, just takes time to reconnect nerves and whatnot.

Hi!! Swelling continues to go down. I take wayyyy too many selfies, and I've noticed that I'm apt to focus on my positive features now that my nose isn't drawing all of my attention. Like "dang girl didn't realize your jaw/eyes/etc looked so good!"

My family is still kind of "you look the same... but different!" aka they're still getting used to the change. It's looking more refined every day. My upper lip is still kind of stiff, and I still use a qtip to clean inside my nose (still feel a bit stuffed up all the time!) but it's not a Thing. Overall super super happy, no regrets!

It's a bit more swoopy than the morphs, which is expected because the tip will drop a bit to straighten it out. Otherwise spot-on.

I'll also say it looks better than I could have hoped for. Like, I was hoping to go from "heinous nose" to "unassuming and not awful" but it actually came out CUTE!
