ughh i guess this just isnt how i immagined it for all those years of wanting it. How it curves annoys me.
December 5, 2009
I wouldn't worry about it. Your nose looks fantastic. The little curve at the end is quite cute. Dare I say, it is cuter now than if your nose was perfectly straight.

I have always hated my nose and after finally getting it done it has been the most depressing situation of my life. Basically i was left with something called a pollybeak, the ENT took too much off the top half and nothing out of the supratip area. Atleast before i had a more gradual curve to my nose, now its just a beak nose. Its been over a year now and i can truly say it looks awful, but not everyone has the money to get it done twice so im left embarrassed and hopeless. Im a 23 year old female and am currently due with my 3rd baby next month, i am so desperate to get it fixed that i just might be a surrogate mother and put the rest of my body on hold to get it done, dont get me wrong i would also love to bless a family with a baby, i just want a turn at feeling happy.

I know it probably doesn't make a difference if you hate your results, but I would kill for your nose. I would be perfectly happy with it. I guess that says something about what my nose looks like now haha. But if I didn't know you had surgery and just randomly saw you somewhere, I would have never thought you had a nose job. It looks great. (I do realize though that things are different when it's your face)

rizzles, THANK YOU it does mean something, its been a year and a half now since my nose job. I have moved past the deep depression i first felt about it but im definitely still self conscious over it. I agree that i dont look like i ever had any nose job, no one knows unless i tell them. Have u had a nose job and were unhappy with it or are u just wanting one? I bet ur nose isnt as bad as u say, we are all our own wort critics.

I have not had a nose job, but I am considering it, so I've been doing a lot of research (mostly looking at other people's reviews). I just want a nose that wouldn't be the first thing people notice when they see me. I would gladly have a nose like yours, I feel like it would draw less attention than my real nose. The shape of my nose is alright, I just feel like it's way too big for my face. But you're right, it always maybe we do tend to criticize ourselves too much =)

ur new nose looks perfect!

Your nose is beautiful! As others have said, I realize we all see ourselves more critically than those around us. But truthfully, I can't tell what you're talking about with this "polly beak." 

It's understandable that you are thinking about revision rhinoplasty, but if you weren't happy with results the first round, are you willing to tak the risk of being unhappy again? Something to think about... 

As I said, you look great. Do you have before pictures?

Hi peanut, you should be able to go into your review and in the "Photos" field, click "Choose File" and upload them. It has to be from a pc or laptop. We don't accept photos from mobile devices or tablets quite yet. Hope this helps! PM me if you have any questions.

Its been almost 2 years since I had my rhinoplasty, i still overall hate it but i can definitely say ive moved on from the brokeness i fealt at first. Theres nothing i can do to fix it at this point so i just have to live with it, the las two pictures are the most recent of me, and some might say its not bad. It looks different from every angle every side. Thanks everybody for their support, I am so happy to read how most people on here have a great outcome that gives me hope for someday when I get mine redone

Can you tell me who you went to? I'm from Colorado as well and looking for the best plastic surgeon. So far I've met with: Dr. Hans Kuisle, Dr Albin, Dr. Menachof, Dr. Slenkovich, Dr. Zwiebel, Dr. David Broadway, etc.

I really think that your nose looks fine. I don't know what it looked like before but you should not feel bad - it does look pretty!

Perhaps you don't have to do anything too invasive and expensive. You should look into that stuff they inject to peoples noses to help shape them. There was one girl on here who hated her nose but got an injection of something to build out the tip a bit. Or else a nose implant? I think it still looks pretty and is only very subtle when you look close-at first I couldn't see it
