Just make sure they're actually your own photos—don't go pulling some random stuff off Google Images on me.😁

Honestly, I think I’ve already spammed you enough for one lifetime. 😁

It's purely cosmetic, honestly. Dr. Glusac is really my last shot at fixing this...

So, which doctor are we actually talking about here? Are we looking at someone in Chicago or maybe over in Seattle?

😬

Yeah, you have—but I'm an aesthetic person, and I can never say no to more pictures...

Chloe Patel41 said:I'm actually new to the forum, even though I've been lurking forever... Could you please tell me how long your recovery took? I'm asking because I need to plan my time off from work.

It took me about 7 days to recover—basically until my last bit of oiliness finally cleared up. Honestly, how you handle the oily phase really depends on your skin type and whether or not you’re willing to deal with ice on your face. I have pretty fair skin and I'm super sensitive, plus I skipped the icing part, which definitely made the oiliness situation worse (I just can't stand the feeling of ice on my skin).

Just wanted to say thanks for the photos here too, Adam Smith77! 🙂

That nose looks great—she had a much more noticeable hump before, and the doctor totally nailed the fix. It’s small now, but not overly upturned or anything crazy, just right. Do you think it's still going to settle or change at all? What's the doctor saying? Honestly, it looks awesome.

The nose looks great—she had a pretty pronounced hump before, and the doctor did an amazing job fixing it. It’s small now, but it doesn't look fake or overly upturned; it’s just right. Does the doctor expect it to keep changing at all? Because honestly, it looks perfect as is.

Nothing else is going to change—my doctor told me the nose is completely recovered from the surgery after about 6 months.

It’s been about 14 months since my surgery, and honestly, my nose is still changing

If anyone wants to see the photos, just shoot me a private message and I'll send them over.

I'll send over the photos if you shoot me a DM...


Who were you hanging out with? Any pics...

And why on earth didn't Adam Smith77 send me that photo? I was actually one of the people who asked for it... 🤔

I'll send photos via PM if you ask.

..Facts. It's been 9 months for me and things are still shifting...😁

Ashley Young34 said:I'm with you on this—it took me nine months to get through it and things are still shifting...😁

So, does that mean I could end up with a pig snout after surgery, only to have it turn hooked again nine months later...?🤣

It’s not exactly flashy, but it’s definitely heading in that direction, yeah, it’s doable

I’ve sent the photos over to everyone who asked, so feel free to drop your thoughts here.

Gerald Cruz71 said:It’s not exactly "weak," but it's definitely in that ballpark... yeah, totally possible.

😕 So what, I just have to sit around for an entire year to find out if the surgery actually worked or not?🤔

The photos were sent to everyone who asked—feel free to weigh in here.

Question: did they use the open technique on you by any chance?

You won't really see the final results of the surgery until a full year has passed

My nose was done using the closed method 🙂

Great, then I'll just try my best to spend as little time looking in the mirror as possible over this next year.☕

stormyharbor2 said:So you're saying I could end up with a pig nose right after surgery, only for it to turn pointy again nine months later?🤣

Depends on how you look at it.🤣Hell yeah, obviously not. If he pulls the pin on that bone, it’s gone. Period. As for the size thing? Sure, maybe. But if you think you can just skip looking in the mirror for a year, then don't even bother going under the knife.☕

😢

if you think you won't need to stare at yourself in the mirror for a year, then don't even bother getting surgery☕

Look, my whole goal here is to get this done so I can finally stop obsessing over my nose... I'm not looking to spend every single day after the procedure checking to see if it's somehow grown back. ☕

..if you picked a decent surgeon, your nose should stay smaller, not bigger. I assume that's the goal. ☕

Ashley Young34 said:I hope that's what you actually want ☕

Obviously. 🙂 I already pointed out here that I don't want some tiny, fake, Barbie-style nose sitting on my face—it's too big for that—but now everyone thinks I'm aiming for a massive nose post-op. 🤣 Honestly... just going from one extreme to the other. To me, noses like Kim Kardashian's or Britney Spears' aren't even "good" examples, but hey, to each their own. 🤷

Here are some visual examples

I like this look

I hate this look

not this one either

🤷

I can't believe I'm even typing this out—it’s honestly exhausting how much people refuse to see what's right in front of them. It’s like everyone is just sleepwalking through life, waiting for someone else to tell them what to think. Honestly? It’s pathetic. We need to start calling things what they actually are instead of dancing around the truth just to be polite. Polite doesn't get anything done. Truth does. Period. kaže:
I’m right there with you—I’m nine months out and things are still shifting constantly. It just doesn't stop.😁

If the surgeon actually did their job right, you shouldn't see any obvious changes to the nose itself. Personally, my nose looks exactly the same ten days after surgery as it does now. I just had to wait for all the swelling to finally subside—once that passed, that was it. It’s always going to have this same shape.
