A year and two months post-op

Hello again, as you can see my nose came out looking nothing like I wanted. My nose tip is much bigger and troll looking. I still have concave indentions on the side of my bridge creating ugly shadows as a result of shaping the cartilage too wide on top of my natural bridge. My doctor thought it came out nice but I certainly don't. I should have emphasized more that I didn't want a ski-slope bridge, I really miss my femininely curved bridge. He's a great doctor ( for Caucasian noses) and he treats you with care, but ethic noses are not his speciality. Even my fiancé thinks I have a HUGE nose :'(

6.5 months post Op

Since I've had my surgery I've had an irritating issue with my nose running and having watery boogers? Water? Drip from my nose when I'm active. I've never had a problem with allergies before this. My nose is as big and bulbous as ever despite that my doctor gave me an anti-swelling injection that made my nose swell even more so two weeks ago. I feel unattractive and I sometimes think my fiancé hates it now when he looks at it. I can only keep hoping in another 6 months it'll slightly improve. It's far from the result I wanted but can't do anything about it now except deal with it until I forget about it. I even had three ppl come up to me and ask what ethnicity I was because they couldn't tell! My side profile used to look cute with the natural feminine curve, now it looks like a hump nose. In the mean time I've been learning to contour my nose with makeup tutorials to make it seem thinner & defined. Am I being to critical of my result?

Ethnic/Asian rhino with donated cartilage

At this point I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to end up with the pretty arrow shaped nose I so madly wanted and payed for. My nostril holes more visible than before (despite what my doctor thinks) , it's much more bulbous because of swelling, not pointed or defined at all, and my femininely curved bridge was widened too much, making it masculine and crooked up top as the new donated cartilage CAPS the natural width of my bridge resulting in unsightly shadows on the sides. I can only hope it does improve in the next 6 months, as of right now I'm heart broken and disappointed, but I try not to think about my manly troll-like nose.

The staff is so nice, comforting, will go out of their way for you and the ladies don't treat you like a cow on a conveyer belt. Dr. Buckingham seemed to be in a rush and had to get strait to the point when I had my two visits with him but he was still able to answer all my questions since I had them all written down. He doesn't have the new Vectra 3D imaging machine, which is surprising but be sure to get a few free consults so you get the experience and learn from all of them. He was honest, he suggested that given the risks, my nose wasn't bad looking and he discouraged the Surgery, but he also said there's a 95% chance Ill be happy with my result.
