“African American Rhinoplasty”

Since you have just recently had the operation done I would wait until your nose is fully healed to evaluate it, you are still healing and the results are not finished. When your nose is finished healing the tip of the nose drops, which is why when it's first done the tip seems so high (aka the miss piggy look)and the swelling decreases. A lot of doctors leave the bandages on for about 5 days because they don't want you to see the result too soon, like you did on only day 2. Talk to your doctor and explain to him your fears, maybe he can put you at ease. Since you liked the after pictures I would wait until you are at the point that those people were when they had their photos taken to finally judge your nose. I hope your nose turns out to be something you love and not something that is causing you so much hurt, but I would give it some more time. If it truly is as bad as you think after you are **fully healed**, you can always go to another doctor and look into getting a reversal done. Good luck.

I had a rhinoplasty done almost 4 weeks ago. People tell me they don't see a difference, including my husband. My nose is still very large. My 4-week appointment with my doctor is this friday. I hope my nose gets smaller. I just wanted to let you know you are not alone in praying for a better result. Perhaps being an African American has a lot to do with the results we are seeing. I also had lower bleph done to remove the line of fat along my eyelashes. Now I have unsightly lumpy scars in place of the original fat. I'm unhappy and I will see what my doctor says this Friday. Let's pray for each other.
