Few More Tid Bits

The picture below of my best friend, Stevie, and I was taken on New Yrs Eve. I hate the way my nose photographed....looks really gross. Also, if you take a good look, on the 3/4 views, the right side has a big bump as the left side if smooth. From a complete side view, as the one with the white hat on, it's pretty smooth and straight.

Almost 10 months out

Well, I am at almost 10 months post op. I had originally planned on having revision rhinoplasty by now, but the timing hasn't been right. Also, the surgeon that I am interested in, Dr. Naderi in Northern VA, requires that you be one yr post op. Additionally, I am planning on doing a figure competition in Richmond, Va on May 16. If I win, my husbands says he'll pay for the revision without balking. :))...as of now, he doesn't really see the need for a revision. Also, I'm training and don't want to be put out by a nose job recovery. So, hopefully, I'll be having a revision in June. My goal is to have the surgeon make the right side of my nose be symmetrical to the left (up near the nasal bridge)by shaving down that big bump, bring my deviated septum to center, and maybe decrease the size of the tip. Not so concerned about the tip as it looks ok to me. Here are some pics from last week...my before pics can be seen in the archived blogs from april 2008.
