You look amazing. Your last pic you posted you are glowing with confidence.
Thank you for sharing.
I heard it takes about 1 full year for your nose to fully heal.

You look awsome

your nose is so cute...I myself debated getting a nose job since I was younger [my nose is very wide, I've always been made fun of...and I think I may have a deviated septum]. thankies for the post, darlin.

omg! i wanna see more pics of what it looks like now! You looked amazing before but your nose turned out great. I hate how lots of people get those fake looking noses, yours looks amazing and natural! Love it! I have broken my nose about three times in sports related activities - surfing mostly... and if I break it again it will be so crooked that I might as well get mine done.

I was also thinking about getting a breast augmentation sometime before I get married in December. But if I don't do it soon, it probably wont happen.

I just want bigger boobies for Christmas! Maybe I will just have to settle for hair extensions for the wedding. :p

You look so good before and after. That's really a neat thing to have gone through and you seem so happy about it. Thanks for sharing.

I really love your hair and makeup, btw.

Your progress is amazing, and what you see as swelling must be very subtle because i think it looks great.

I am having this done next Saturday, mostly for a breathing problem but the aesthetic benefit is definately a plus as my nose is not too attractive.

Did you have open surgery or closed? I am really worried about contact damage after the surgery, i have a 2 year old. How long before the actual breaks heal and only swelling remains?

Good Luck with your surgery, I had an OPEN RHINOPLASTY and a SEPTOPLASTY because my nose was broken twice and all the bones in my nose had shifted to the left side of my face, so my doctor did a lot of work. Well if you are a white girl you will bruise a lot, my mom is white and she bruised alot under her eyes, a lot of purple and blue, but me I am OLIVE skin toned and I barely bruised, my brusing went down after 2 weeks, funny how our skin color determines how bruised we can get lol. As for swelling it takes a while for the swelling to go down, I thought that the moment my cast was taken off I would look perfect and that it was a majic wand surgery, but I was wrong, noses take time, you MUST be patient , trust me, your nose will change for days, weeks and months and also years. So the swelling will go down woth time, cover brusing with makeup if you plan to go out between 1-2 weeks and you will feel better, make sure you follow EVERYTHING the doctor has instructed you to do, your life depends on it. Good Luck, I wish you the best, if you have any questions please feel free, I am 10 months post surgery so I'm almost at 1 year !!!

UPDATE : 10 Months later

okay ladies as you all know I had my nose job in February 2008, so now I am at 10 months post operation.... I have alittle good news and a little bad news ....

The good news is that my swelling has gone down a lot and it will continue to go dwon within the next year, so Im happy about that, however heres the bad news.... The doctor who did my surgery retired 5 months after I had my surgery and he sold his plactice to a new younger doctor, and this new younger doctor was to take over the retired doctors patients. I am one of them... So I saw the new doctor on August 29, 2008. So about 3 months ago. The new doctor asked me how I liked my nose and if there was anything bothering me and I told him that there was a small bump on the bridge of my nose that still seemed to be prominent, but not a big problem. He suggested me to have another surgery and I said no. Then he asked me what I would like to do. I told him that my original doctor who did my surgery had injected the bump on my nose with CORTISONE to help with the swelling and it helped. He said if I want another CORTISONE injection that he could give me one, and I said ok, since it had always helped in the past when my first doctor injected me. I should have stopped right there and listened to that RED FLAG WARNING going off in my head, but unfortuanatly I didn't....
10 days after he injected me, the bump on my nose began to get bigger and more and more prominent... It started to look like a pimple on the bridge of my nose, rather then a little bit of a hump... I strongly blame the second doctor for this problem, even though it was my choice to have the injection, Im no doctor, no expert on noses... I wish he would have told me no more injections... Becaue now I have this bump problem on my nose and I decided to see another doctor for a second opinion. When I explained to the doctor about the CORTISONE injections he told me that when you inject CORTIZONE, you thin down the skin, and that is why now the bump is more prominent now then it was before the injection. I am a little heart broken becasue I spent a lot of money paying for this surgery and it looked so good until I had that third injection and now I am a little devasted deep down inside... My mom had a nose job years ago and she said not to worry about it and that the bump will shrink or go away, however I find that hard to believe and I want to have another surgery some time in the middle of 2009. I am not addicted to surgery, but if I could just have this bump shaved off the bridge of my nose I will do it when the time is right. All I can do now is wait. I am however going to pursue my original doctors insurance and the American Board of Certified Cosmetic Surgery about this and see that his insurane pay for it, because this is just not fair...

Here are some pictures to show you where I was before the injection and where I am at now 10 monts later ... Thanks for reading and all your support ladies...
5 Months
This was taken before the injection, as you can see at 5 months I am still pretty swollen, however there is no bump or pimple like bump on the bridge of my nose at all...

^^okay i didn't see your updated post. i posted this comment off the first post. i understand you're upset but i really don't think it looks that bad. why don't you try and contact your old doctor (i don't know if that's possible but just in case) and ask him if he could at least recommend a doctor that can do what you want

Hi Lauren , yes I am a bit upset about the whole situation and I have had at least 4 people ask me "what's that on your nose, whats that bump on your nose is it a pimple ?" it really upsets me and I am going to contact their office and talk to the receptionist, because she has worked there for years and she maybe can help me, I tried talking to the new doctor the one who injected me and he was not rude, but pretty much told me that I need another surgery and that massaging the bump would not help. I have already seen two new doctors to get their opinions, one of them said it is a very simple flaw to fix and another doctor made me cry when I left his office by saying that "sorry I can't help you, It's impossibe, and good luck". So it is heartbreaking and confusing when you have one doctor who says is is a simpke problem to fix and another doctor who says that it is HOPELESS...

I´m sorry to hear that you´re so upset about the bump. Yes it´s noticeable but it´s really not that bad. But I understand that you´re not happy about it, after all it wasn´t there before. I hope a doc can fix it so you can enjoy your perfect nose!
So...what did the docs say what exactly the bump is? A cortisone depot under the skin? I am no expert but this doesn´t look like something that will need another surgery to fix it!
