First Rhinoplasty/Chin Implant with Dr. Michael M. Kim. Portland, OR

My nose feels and looks great. I have been able to wear sunglasses, workout like I use to and my smile is 100%. My chin completely feels and looks like my own . Every week my nose looks better and better.For a few weeks I was concerned about a tiny bump I felt at the bridge but it has disappeared. Really - really glad I got the chin implant as well. I think my profile looks rather cute. Now I love taking pictures at any angle. ;-)

I am loving my results so far. Recovery has been better than expected. The first three days were the worst. When I came home from surgery I was worried since my face was bruised, smile was crooked and my nostrils looked uneven. However after a week my smile is 99% back, nostrils are pretty much even and the bruising is almost gone. My recovery period consisted of laying in bed, drinking LOTS of water and pineapple juice, eating crackers and watching tons of Netflix movies.
When I first had my cast removed (5daya postop) my nose looked wide but it has thinned out substantially and looks great. My chin is still swollen; as each day passes it's shrinking down and looking nice. Overall I am happy. Even my husband and stubborn parents who were against me having these procedures admit I look good.

Recovery has been going well. Here's how my day of surgery went.
Checked in, changed into a gown, IV inserted, Dr.Kim came in to mark my face then I was wheeled to the OR. Next thing I remember is waking up in the recovery room with the worst headache but it subsided after I took the Rx pain medication. Day two I only needed to take one extra strength Tylenol every four hours. Today, day three I didn't take any pain medication. My nose is runny and one nostril looks larger than the other but I am not too concerned since I am noticing positive changes daily. Can't wait to see my results this Wednesday during my postop. Only negative, the nurses after surgery made me feel rushed to check out and did a poor job explaining discharge details. If you would like to see pictures PM me and I will send you updates and pictures.
