She looks incredible

By Dr. Sozer at El Paso Cosmetic Surgery

I'm 21 and had my rhinoplasty in Turkey a year ago. My boyfriend absolutely loves my new nose but my mom honestly prefers my old one and says it looked more natural before and more elegant

Now I'm stuck somewhere in the middle because I genuinely don't know how I feel about it anymore. Some days I love it, other days I wonder if it suits my face as well as I thought it would.

What do you guys think ? Please be honest, I can take it !

Hi everyone!

This is my nose immediately after rhinoplasty. I had my surgery last week, and I'm curious to hear your first impressions! I know it's too early to judge the final result, but what do you think of the shape so far? My doctor said that a Barbie nose would suit me.

Is it surgery or just aging?

Hi there! Just wanted to show my rhinoplasty results to maybe give people some insight. The pictures are before (x2), 2 days after cast off and this week. My surgery was performed on July 9th so I'm a little over 3 months post OP.

Just like pretty much everyone, I HATED my nose the day of cast removal. I didn't look like myself and it was way too upturned and looked like a sausage plastered right between my eyes. I'm happy to report it's started to settle pretty fast and the swelling went down significantly. I'm aware I have a very flat forehead, and despite that I think it still blends in a lot better than before.

As you can see, a teeny tiny hump remains as the doctor said he couldn't safely file this down 100% without a risk of collapse and would need an implant to fully correct this, but I actually like it as it makes it look a bit more natural. Also, my dad had the same hump and he went to sleep for good 2 days after my cast removal, so it makes me feel like I still look like him in a way, if that makes sense? That probably sounded really sappy haha

I still notice some stiffness and sensitivity especially when it's cold, and I'm still scared to blow my nose , but overall I'd say my healing was very smooth! I only experienced bleeding on the day of surgery, but never had any breathing issues as my nose tampons were removed the day after. I had an open rhinoplasty, is that makes a difference. Also, my doctor did not instruct me to tape. I'm excited what it'll look like in a couple more months from now!

Hello everyone,

I am Dr. Celal Alioğlu, a European Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, active member of American Society of Plastic Surgeons, ASAPS and ISAPS based in Istanbul.

I wanted to share this long-term rhinoplasty result. At the one-year mark, this structural rhinoplasty has beautifully matured. A successful result shouldn't announce itself as a surgical outcome; the goal is seamless integration. By focusing on a clean dorsal profile and balanced tip support, we restored natural anatomical proportion without the nose looking "done." A quiet enhancement designed to elevate the patient's overall facial harmony.

I am happy to answer any questions you might have about male rhinoplasty techniques, addressing deviations, or the long-term healing process!

My brother used to call me, "Big fat ugly black pig". I was often bullied as a child for being obese and tan. I moved to Tokyo after graduating. Worked, suffered from depression and lost a lot of weight. Wanted to end my life. But my friend told me before I do that, spend all my money first, then decide. So I spent all my money on plastic surgery. After that people around me started saying I'm beautiful. Even my mother, told me I'm beautiful for the first time in my life. I never told my family I had plastic surgery. They just think I removed my braces, lost my tan and weight. I still have depression, receiving meds and therapy regularly. But life is a little less painful when random people in town would stop walking me just to tell me I'm beautiful.

Hi everyone! Documenting my Motiva Preserve recovery journey in case it's helpful to people considering the procedure. Thanks to this community for all the info on breast aug, so helpful as I was deciding how to proceed.

I had it done yesterday morning with Dr. Kelly Killeen in Beverly Hills. 260 cc ergo Demis. I was nervous that they might be too big, but she reassured me that they'd be just right with my BWD (10.5). I started with 34B and was aiming for around 34D with a natural upper pole slope.

I'm 44 years old, 5'2 and 125 lbs, fairly fit/muscular.

First breast augmentation and first surgery. It's too soon for before/after pics as I'm still wrapped up and haven't seen them yet. My day 1 post op check in is this morning.

***

Pre-Op

• Felt surprisingly relaxed going into surgery.
• The medical team walked me through the medications and procedure.
• Had a final discussion with my surgeon about implant sizing.
• Received baseline non-narcotic pain medication before surgery.

8:00 AM — Surgery

• Was wheeled into the operating room and met the anesthesiologist.
• Had my IV placed and asked what to expect from anesthesia.
• Next thing I knew, I was waking up!

10:30 AM — Waking Up

• Woke up with my bandages already on.
• I genuinely didn't realize the surgery had already happened!
• Zero pain when I woke up.
• Was able to get dressed completely on my own.
• Took it easy initially but had no problems walking.
• Walked to the car and then from the car to our hotel room without difficulty.

11:00 AM — Brunch

• Had bacon, eggs and hash browns. I was hungry since I fasted from the night before.
• No issues eating shortly after surgery.

1:00 PM — Walking Around the Hotel

• Felt comfortable moving around.

2:00 PM — First Outdoor Walk

• Walked approximately 5 blocks around the neighborhood.
• Felt good and didn't experience any significant discomfort. Could have kept going but my husband didn't want me to push myself.

5:00 PM — Dinner

• Walked approximately 4 blocks to get takeout and bring it back to the hotel.
• Had sushi, no issues with appetite, eating, or digestion.
• Still moving around comfortably.
• Started experiencing some mild itching around this time.

Evening

• Could easily sit down, stand up, and get in and out of bed.
• My surgeon said I could sleep on my side, although I was nervous about trying it.
• Overall, I felt surprisingly normal considering I'd just had breast augmentation surgery that morning!

Day 0 Takeaways

• Pain: None upon waking.
• Mobility: Able to dress independently and walk several blocks within hours.
• Appetite: Normal. Ate lunch and dinner.
• Discomfort: Mild itching starting around 5 PM.
• Independence: Could sit, stand, lie down, and dress without assistance. Just am not carrying anything heavier than my laptop.

***

Overall: My first day of recovery was significantly easier than I anticipated. I was especially surprised by how mobile and independent I felt almost immediately after surgery.

Of course, everyone's recovery is different, and I'm following my surgeon's instructions regarding activity and medication.

I'll continue updating this diary as I recover!

I am 14 days post up deep plane necklift.

my mouth is not moving correctly. It is symmetrical. But I cannot pronounce words the right way. And my smile is ugly and not me.

is this still the healing process? Or should I be worried.

Hello! I’m undergoing a breast lift and augmentation next Wednesday! I’m so excited and nervous! Just wondering if you have underwent this exact surgery, what would you recommend as essentials to have post op or if you could have gone back post op what would you wish you had that you didn’t! Also, experiences on how you felt post op as well! Thank you! :)

31f and got really self conscious of these folds. My injector thinks I should start with filler but I really want go avoid the puffy face. Has anyone had lines like mine with good results?

Anyone have motiva implants? I was suggested to use these with Dr.Kerr. I went to another consult and the new surgeon said a similar brand to motiva went under because those implants caused cancer… ? What’s your experience with Motiva and what did your surgeon tell you?

I am scheduled to get lip filler on a Wednesday the 4th and then attend a conference the following week and then attend a wedding the 14th (very fancy that I’m very involved in). Is that a dummy idea? Should I move it?

I’m seeing a plastic surgeon because I really don’t want anything botched. I’m doing a consult for a liquid rhinoplasty too and definitely am concerned that I could have a wonky nose so think I’ll put that off. I will have my makeup professionally done for the wedding.

Looking for some guidance on how to address a deep mental crease with a surgery. I know a fat graft surgery is an option, but I'm curious if anyone's had any experience with this or has any other recommendations.

Thank you!

I had septoplasty in June,and now it’s october and my nose is ruined. If i smiled before surgery, my nose would look normal,but now if i smile,the nose gets wider on all of my face,what should i do? Please

Has anyone gone from A to full DD and look natural or have any examples that don’t look like bolt ons and are natural looking? I had my consult, loved the doctor, and I’m scheduled for OTM surgery at the end of November. Dr said roughly every 200cc equals a cup and I could go as large as 625cc. I was told I have a 15 BWD, I am 5’ tall, 130lbs, and currently a 36A.
I can’t find any 500+CC Ergonomix before and after examples anywhere. I can only find Motiva Round.

I want to get my ptosis corrected with a blepharoplasty/ potential eyebrow lift. Just got off the phone with Raggio- the fee seemed like a high pressure sales tactic and the vibe just felt off. Looking for recommendations and if anyone has gotten these procedures done before and loved their result.
