It’s been a year and 4 months since my surgery and I’m only just now feeling like it's finally done. I'm totally satisfied with everything.

Mine is actually looking crooked now because everything on the right side settled perfectly, but the left side hasn't. On top of that, my septum isn't centered; it's leaning to the left too 😲 and I have no idea how that's supposed to settle or when it might actually move back to the center 😢...

I had my surgery with an unknown surgeon about seven months ago, and I still feel like everything hasn't quite settled into place. My nose looks slightly crooked and there's still this little bump on the tip that hasn't gone down yet 🙄

Has anyone else dealt with something similar? I'm just wondering when things might finally start looking normal 😕

darkhawk10 said:thanks for the info 🙂 sounds like the aesthetic one is pricier. some girls mentioned prices around $1,600, but I guess everyone ends up paying something different...

My bad, I thought you were doing the functional one too. I figured I only needed the aesthetic part, but turns out I had to get the functional done as well.
I went this summer and paid about $2,200... and so did everyone else who went around that time.

Is there an option to pay in installments, and how long is the current waitlist for a procedure? Also, how long do you have to wear the compression garment? I need to know so I can figure out how many days I'll need to stay in Makarska... 🙂

The price was 2,000 bucks. Not sure about installments since I just paid the whole thing in cash. I had to wait a month to get my turn because he was over in Germany, and I only held onto the mold for about a week, though the wraps took much longer... If you can swing it, I think a week down there should be plenty of time, provided you have the availability... 🙂

They actually told you that you have to wait 3-4 months?! 😲😲I'm heading out in a few days, I'll let you know if I survived... 🙂I've waited long enough! 🙂 🙂Thanks for the reply. 🙂

I'm happy with it, but the tip of my nose still feels like a little ball and it's driving me crazy 😠Tiiii?

Yeah, that's way too long to wait... I still haven't decided whether to go. Did you go? How was it? 🙂

Sophia Young73 said:It’s been a month and five days since my surgery. My surgeon told me I can't use a tanning bed for two months, but he didn't explain why. I have a music video shoot coming up in a few days, and I really don't want to look pale as a ghost. Does anyone know what happens if I go anyway? Why is it "off limits" after surgery???

It's been the same amount of time for me too. 🙂
My surgeon said no tanning beds for 3-4 months because the UV rays and the heat could make my nose swell up.
I'm also in a rush to get a tan, so I was thinking about just using a flatbed instead of a stand-up one... maybe turn off the face lamps and cover up with a scarf or something.
