It’s been three months since my surgery, and I suppose the peak is still a bit swollen. I’m really hoping that little bump at the top will eventually subside, but as for my profile—from the moment the mold was removed—it looks pretty good, or at least that’s how it seems to me...

Please, could you share the photos? Thank you!

I suppose he can be a bit eccentric and perhaps a little prone to an ego trip, but honestly, I believe he did a wonderful job with my case. I’m more than happy to email photos to anyone who wants to see them—just send me your email address, as I simply can't upload them here. My profile looks sweet, maybe a bit too soft, and from the front, I don't feel like I've changed drastically. It’s true he operated on my sister, but since she wasn't looking for major changes, he followed her specific instructions very strictly. I didn't experience much pain, and the bruising cleared up completely within ten days, but I have encountered one rather unusual issue.
The skin on my nose seems to have adhered or healed directly onto the bone in one spot, making it look like a mistake from the front view. I’ve been massaging it almost maniacally, but it just won't separate. The doctor told me not to worry and that it will eventually detach on its own. I suspect if I hadn't worn the tape after the cast was removed, this might not have happened, but I guess I just had some bad luck. If anyone happens to know how I might speed up this separation—since the skin really needs to be mobile—please let me know. Any advice would be appreciated. I have another follow-up appointment tomorrow, so he will likely give it a firmer massage then.
I suppose nothing worth having comes without a bit of struggle, huh...
Best regards to everyone,

You can email the photos to me... thanks!

The surgery itself went perfectly! At least, that's what they told me... everything functioned exactly as intended, and the aesthetics are following suit—my nose is finally straight. I actually got to see my nose this morning after the packing was removed, just before they put the splint on... and wow, it looks beautiful!! Even with the swelling, I am absolutely loving it!!!!!! My mom was there with me, and she is just thrilled! The whole medical team in Miami was wonderful... I honestly can't pick just one person to single out. I was incredibly nervous heading into the procedure, but the four of them (the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, the nurse, and the surgical tech) really helped me relax and kept me laughing... I truly have nothing but praise for them! They were simply lovely!
If anyone has any questions at all, please feel free to ask...

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum, but I've been reading through all your posts. Princess, since you seem so happy with the results, I would love to see some photos if you're willing to share... I'm actually scheduled to go in for a consultation with Dr. Glusac in the next few days.
