Hello everyone! A quick update now that I'm 5 weeks-ish post OP.
Nose - the good:
I'm still swollen, but much much better than before. I like the look of my nose when I don't smile haha. I think my alars still look wide when I do smile, but any smaller would be too obvious that I had PS done and I did ask for natural (aka not too obvious) result. The silicon implant doesn't feel like anything which was one of my main concerns, so this is great! I need to wait a bit longer for more natural movement - I still can't really stretch my upper lip much so that's a little weird for me. The scars around my columella and alars are still visible, I'm just waiting for a bit longer before I start using scar cream (for the incision areas to fully heal first) in hopes of reducing them.
Nose - the not so good:
So around week 3, I was exfoliating my face gently (including my nose) and I think the grains scratched away something near the base of my alar wing that's connected to my face. It left a gap, and I contacted Hazel straight away. Hazel was quite busy and it took a while for her to respond, but she confirmed with the doctor that it was probably an inner stitch that started showing as my nose deswelled. They told me not to worry, as the gap will be less obvious as the swelling goes down. You can't see the "gap" usually, but when I stretch my alar away I can see a small gap. I can also feel it. It doesn't look like it healed as well as the other side. I'm worried that this gap will be here permanently but I'm only just over a month post OP so I'll just need to be patient and wait...
FG:
I like the shape of my forehead and chin, but it's only 5 weeks and I'm worried that the fat will absorb even more/go away eventually. Fingers crossed it doesn't! I do have a small, raised scar under my chin where Dr Kim inserted the fat, but besides it being slightly raised, it looks like an acne scar which I'm not too concerned about (preferably it wasn't there though haha)
Acculift:
My jaw is finally starting to feel normal, I only have a very tiiiiiny bit of numbing left, but it's not that obvious. When I move my jaw from side to side, the right side is a bit tighter than the left. I can feel a tight feeling when I lift my head up too much. It doesn't restrict any movement, and feels fine when I put pressure on it, but still waiting for it to completely go away. As for the results - my face is a very tiny bit slimmer than before, however if I'm not sure if it's "enough" as I still have a double chin when I tilt my head down. If you want more obvious/dramatic results, then FC is the way to go.
