What to do about a bad nose job

Maurice M. Khosh, MD answers: What should I do about bad nose job results?

I have had the worst rhinoplasty i could possibly had. I am a 20year old male who had a medium long attractive nose. And considered by most to be very goodlucking. Then i had made the stupidiest decision under-going rhinoplasty (for small bump) and septoplasty.  Now my nose is sooo small,no bridge and very big nostrils. I have been waitng for revision rhinoplasty 4 7months and cant wait any longer. I havnt seen any of my friends for six months,i have been hiding and travelling far from home to work. And life is really hard. Researching rhinoplasty i havnt even seen any good nose work And i am really concerned. And i am very desperate and worked hard to save up day and night

In plastic surgery, just as any other medical procedures, there is a potential for less than an ideal outcome. When it comes to cosmetic procedures, patients experience a higher degree of anxiety associated poor outcomes.

It's important to know that the early outcome of rhinoplasty surgery, does not necessarily equate to late results. Swelling and minor asymmetries typically improve after one year. Most surgeons therefore, recommend waiting for one year before considering revision surgery.

So if your surgery is less than one year ago, then be patient and wait. Talk to your surgeon or ask for a second opinion. Try to take a step back and don't allow worries about your nose to take over your life.
