Worth It
Spent: $3,000 in greece

no pain, it was just uncomfortable having my nose packed

for now not happy with the results...i did it cause i had a bad profile and wanted to feel better with myself

i had my nose done 13 days ago..when i took my cast off the upper side of the bone (where the nose starts) is clearly not in the middle...im very dissapointed...can the doctor make some changes in order to make it look better???

The problems you're experiencing may be caused by swelling. Here's a related Doctor Q&A thread that explains this further: Crooked nose or uneven swelling after Rhinoplasty?

Unfortunately, it looks like the left nasal bone was in-fractured too much at the time of surgery. If that's the case, this is unlikely to improve with time. Options usually include placing a supporting pack within the nose to outwardly displace the bone, returning to the operating room to have it outfractured under anesthesia (much like fixing a broken nose), or waiting until it's fully healed and then recontouring that depressed area with an injectable filler or surgically placing a camouflage graft. Good luck, --DCP
