“Crooked columella and uneven nostrils”
Rhinoplasty: Worth it
Cost: $5,000
Pain: Mild
Pain: Mild
Rhinoplasty satisfaction: Good
I recommend my Rhinoplasty provider: Name not provided
Why: I highly recommend this doctor. He is very knowledgeable, has a great personality, and really made the experience personable. Really and truly praying that with time my nose will look 99.9% better. Just want second opinions.
I recently had rhinoplasty done (June 16th). My nose was very wide and lacked definition. As time passes, my nostrils appear to be uneven. The left nostril appears to drop/stretch lower than the right one.
The columella appears to be folding over to the right. Also, the swelling has gone down tremendously, but it's like you still can see straight up my nostrils. I did not have this problem before the surgery. I go back to the doctor Monday to have the remaining tape removed from my nose (I took it upon myself yesterday to remove one strip from the tip because it started coming up). I have a great doctor and I am praying for the best.
Any advice would be greatly appreaciated.

last year, i had fibroid surgery (removing uterine tumors) and they had to be taken out the same way a c-section is done, and the way my obgyn surgeon created the incision caused my stomach to buldge and overlap over my scar. so june of this year (3 weeks ago) i had abdominal liposuction to try and get back to where i was before my obgyn doctor butchered me. i no my results arent going to be perfect, but i hope it will be damn near what i looked like before...
