Did I Get a Bad Nose Job?
I got most of the bandages and stitches removed today (7 days later). I feel like the doctor narrowed my bridge too much and it looks unnatural. Will it get better?

Rhinoplasty Results and Recovery
Answering a question like yours requires a detailed discussion with you regarding what your aesthetic desires were prior to the procedure. This is something which should have been communicated between yourself and your surgeon. If we were able to discuss the above then one can give a better opinion on the result. That being said you are only one week out and will need to allow 9-12 months for the nose to heal and "mature" before any final decisions can be made...

Good or bad results depend on what you wanted
Good or bad results depend on what you wanted. Your nose is smaller and narrower. However, your nasal bones are short and your tip has changed, which means that reduction of the bridge and tip cartilages has decreased the support to the sides--the valves. If that is true, your airway may be no better or may be worse. Those problems can be easily repaired with cartilage grafts, however, so do not worry. Find experienced surgeon to help you--but not yet. ...

Not happy after Rhinoplasty
At 1 week post Rhinoplasty, your nose is not even close to being fully healed however, your question about changing of the narrow bridge is a different story. The bridge is narrow and will not get wider, IMHO other than some temporary swelling that will occur once th cast and bandages are reomoved.

Did I Get a Bad Nose Job?
Much too early to pass judgement on the result. Wait at least 6 months for healing to progress and you may be surprise with result.

Did I Get a Bad Nose Job?
There is a definite difference between the before and after. If you are not satisfied than yes it is a poor result. Best to allow more healing time but a frank in person discussion with the chosen operative surgeon is in order.

Bridge too narrow after rhinoplasty
You are too early in the healing process to make judgrments. It seems that the bridge seems very narrow at this point. Be patient. Later on solutions may include rebreaking the bones and expanding them or grafting. The real problem is the relationship between you tip and bridge. You may want to narrow the nasal base.

It is too early post surgery
You just had surgery and will take time to see the final result. I am sure your surgeon discussed the recovery and expectation. If you have concerns about the results, you need to discuss with your surgeon.

Did I get a bad nose job
Hi,
At this point, I dont think that your nose will change that much. You may have a little swelling left but this will not change the overall look when resolved. Rhinoplasty is a very personal procedure. You should have discussed what you wanted with your surgeon prior to surgery and hopefully you had computer imaging. The surgeon should have discussed aesthetic outcomes with you and given you advice on what is "aesthetically acceptable". Ultimately, it is the patient that...
