“Will my nose look swollen and big for ever?”
Rhinoplasty: NOT worth it
Cost: $7,000
Pain: Severe
Pain: Severe
Rhinoplasty satisfaction: Poor
I do not recommend my Rhinoplasty provider: Name not provided
Why: At first my doctor was very nice and said he would go over the procedure on the day of surgery, when i saw him that day he was too busy with personal probles to sit at my bedside and inform me of what he was about to do to me,(i was pretty scared! then when i had my folloing check up he was too busy and always in a rush ive had 2 check ups so far. Funny thing is, once he they have your money your just a number.
I got my nose surgery almost 3 weeks ago, My upper lip is so stiff and my tip looks bigger than before i got it done, all i wanted was my nostrils narrow and my tip a bit smaller! now i have smaller nostrils and a bigger tip!
I'm so scared it will stay this way, I feel regret for having done this to myself, at least before i could smile now i can't even do that, i have been a bit depressed as well, i don't want to do this again. any advice would help. thank you.
Will my nose ever look smaller and not swollen and stiff?

Please don't freak out like me. I'm one month post op and believe me your nose is going to be swollen and go through changes. Especially the tip. The tip is the last part of the nose to reduce swelling because its the lowest part. My tip was huge at two and a half weeks I called my Dr. panicked my nose was looking worst when then when the cast came off. He assured me its swelling I should know better cause I;m a nurse but when you see it on yourself you freak out. Remember it will take 6-12 months for all the swelling to go all the way down. And he was right my nose is looking better every day .
