“Rhinoseptoplasty - Age 40, Wanted (And Didn't Get) Drastic Changes”

i had rhinoseptoplasty done 6 week ago. the radix of my nose was high with little to no inward point. this was surposed to be taken down and removed along with the hump on the bridge and the tip was to be reduced as well.

i paid $7500. and even told my dr. that i didn't want a suttle change i wanted a completely new nose that if no one recognized me i was perfectly fine with it. i even took pictures of myself that i had traced and modified to show what i was wanting and expecting it to look like. my dr. promised that i would love my new nose because we were on the same page and he knew what i wanted. even the day of the surgery i took the pictures to my dr. and said i want an extreme change from top to tip. he said it would be perfect.

i was pretty disappointed when the cast was removed but he assured me it was just swelling and that it would go down. now six weeks after surgery the radix is still just as high. the hump is gone but the bridge is very wide and very hard. the tip is the same as before if not even bigger and is very sensitive.

my dr. is still telling me the radix the bridge and the tip will go down. if it is hard as bone how can that go down? can bone shrink or have i just been taken to the cleaners by a bad dr. it makes me very depressed every time i look at it. no one even comments on it. my son has ask if that was all i wanted done because it isn't very different.

i have wanted this since i was 12 or 13 years old, this was my gift to myself for my 40th birthday. i could have had a nice down payment on a new car for this price, will it get better? please help, i cry daily. can bone shrink?
