Dr. Mayer's office called to tell me there was a mistake in the books, and they offered to scoot my rhinoplasty date a week sooner or a week later... Well I would have done it next week if given the option, so I decided a week sooner. April 22nd is my date for FFS #2 (rhinoplasty) 26 days and counting!

I'm excited about this one, but it feels a lot different from the 1st. This time there is not a worried bone in my body, and I'm not expecting any visually dramatic changes. I like his work with noses because he doesn't go overboard and is an expert when it comes to rhinoplasty. There is no doubt that I trust him completely, especially after round #1 with him in January.

I'll keep you updated with how things progress

And for anyone looking at my avatar thinking "Why the HECK does she think she needs a nose job??"

From the side profile you can see that there is a hump in the middle and a bump on the sides at the top. As the swelling finally went down around the radix graft, the hump seems a bit more noticeable. Also with my brows being taken in, the amount that it sticks out is out of balance



Basically what he will be doing is carefully smoothing out the sides (shaving down the cartilage/bone that makes that bump on the sides at the top), grafting in below that on the sides (my nose is quite thinner there), working on the tip ever so slightly, and taking it in by 1-2mm max. This is what he recommended at the first consult and he said the same thing the other day- which tells me that he is sure of himself (as I am him).

I might have a go at VFFS tonight, I am curious to see

Wow Jenny, if you are getting a new nose, can I please have your old one 

It is so much prettier than the giant honker I have on my face.

Hey get in line girl, I had dibs on it first!

As I am still in the process of researching FFS, is this the Dr. Mayer in San Diego?

Hhaha, sorry I will still need most of it for this operation- at least I'm pretty sure Maybe someday in the future body parts will be like buying a car.. Although that thought kind of grosses me out

He is located in Beverly Hills but that is only about 1.5 hours away from San Diego with ideal traffic conditions (3+ hours in usual conditions on the 405 / 5)

Yes! Wonderful!

I love it!

Yay!!! I did it

2.5 weeks post op and the swelling has gone down quite a bit but it's still there. Posting pics ...the eyebrows are coming down a bit but not equally on both sides( not sure if that is normal) and my nose is still swollen but very happy with what i see so far.

It is truly amazing how fast and well your recovery has been, I went with Dr Spiegel in Boston about 6 weeks past, still have swelling in lips and somewhat numb in many places. your hair line seems completly recovered, mine is still very pink. and my scalp is very numb. anyway you look very much content and i would say most exceptionally beautiful,
best wishes

Riya looking really great considering just 2.5 weeks out.

Thanks! I think you are quite beautiful yourself . Yea the incision at the hairline is healing and I can see hair coming out off the line so in a few weeks i can hide the line with my hair and should be able to wear my hair any way i would like including pulling it all back:)
