I had rhinoplasty three months ago which involved a weir excision and then the doctor placed permanent sutures in to prevent my nostrils from flaring. My smile has never been the same and my surgeon refues to answer my questions. I am unable to smile widely and when I do,it takes a great effort and looks forced. The skin around my nose is also tight and I feel a tightness in on the inside of the nostrils at the base.
It was a traumatic experience after rhinoplasty. This is not a surgery I would under go again if not needed. I think that anyone who has plastic surgery should consider the risk of having someone alter the one thing they have to look at many times in a day. The face.

You should realize the actual trauma done to that area, with that kind of cost I would expect that you had more work done than that? If you live in NYC I'm sure you went to an excellent surgeon? Did he answer all your questions before the surgery? Did he tell you that it would take up to a year for the swelling to go down? He didn't touch the muscles around your mouth so there must still be residual swelling...like I said before, all the sites of excellent plastic surgeons I have gone to said it could take up to MORE THAN A YEAR for your nose to be healed. So please, after a year or so, go back to the surgeon and tell him you are unhappy. At this point you have no choice but to be patient.
