My nose was wide and side profile was too big. I asked for my deviated septum to be corrected and my nose to be slimmed down and side profile to be not so big.
I am so upset about my new nose that i dont go out in public and still havent been back to work. I was so self conscious before about my nose and i cant believe that i still am. I even used a reputable company.
I had a rhino/septoplasty on 10-08-09 and the tip is still bulbous looking and upturned and my nose is still wide. I dont understand why my nose is upturned, is this swellling and when will it go down especially the tip?Replies (12)
that sounds crap, had my wide nose narrowed, relatively happy but thought it would have been more of a difference, also am obseesive compulsive and cant stop touching and playing with it
Hi there you said you had a wide nose narrowed, I'm going in Oct for the same thing doing would there be any chance of you posting a photo of your nose on the site for me to see it??
Thank you
hey claire, maybe go into my facebook have a llok, dont haveany old photos just new one, justin smith from australia, white shirt, st norbert coolage, perth
you should go to a different plastic surgion to get another opinion. because you should be able to see a diff
trust me mate, it will go down. My nose was really swollen for the first few weeks and gradually it went down. Its a long process but you have to be patient. I am currently 4 months since my operation and although my nose is starting to take shape and look good i still have swelling in the tip area and the swelling changes on a daily basis. The tip will drop after a few months so dont worry.
Ahhh cheers that is so good to hear im glad you are starting to love ur nose. We spend so much money its only right we should happy!
isnt it really crap that we had to get it done in the first place, wish i was more happy with the way i look, but truth is i wasnt and thought this might help, it seems like evry good looking person on tv, or at least the people evryone says is good looking, none of them have even slightly big noses, all have slim noses, so cant help but feel ugly if you have a big nose.
Rhinoplasty swelling can take 6-12+ months to resolve completely. Have you noticed any change at all since your surgery?
