Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

6 months post op and pics!
Hi guys, sorry for the awful updates.
When my bandage came off, I was so shocked at the difference. At the time, I remember thinking my surgeon had managed to do so much more than I had hoped - I was over the moon. He told me he would try to lift my nose at the end as it was quite droopy around the columella area, but that it would be unlikely because of thick skin... And I could see he had managed to do it. I was so happy.
HOWEVER.
I now see the problem with the thick skin issue. Only one side of my nose has healed! The tip is still basically as swollen as it was at the start and one side of my nose is much more swollen that the other. I saw this at the start of my healing process but just thought it was normal. But I realise now that there has been no change in terms of even-ness. I know my nose does not look perfect by any means, but I am a lot happier with it; my previous nose, especially with that silly filler I had put in, made my nose start so far up my face. It was a very stupid and risky decision by me and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone as it was impossible to find anyone to get it out. So yes, my nose is better and softer but at this point, I am facing that this lack of even ness will require a revision when I hit the year point plus. I wanted to ask a few questions:
Is it worth trying these injections? Kenalog etc.?
Will the revision to just slightly bring in one side of the nose be a relatively small operation?
All of this aside, I would like to add that despite the fact I am considering a revision operation, I can appreciate that this is now a decision that will hopefully improve my nose slightly - sure - but not one that will change my life. I can't believe how desperate I became for my first nose job. Looking back at it now, I was in a an AWFUL head space. SO desperate. And even if I do go ahead with the revision it will be for much more rational, laid-back, not-matter-of-life-or-death reasons. I am just going to be cheesy for a second and say I am glad I have become more secure in myself with age, which sounds silly now I am considering a revision, but I know that revision is not vital. I wondered if anyone else came out feeling like this.

6 days post ps!
PS the blocked nose for a few days was the worst part! Like the worst cold ever so awful sleeps. But that really was as bad as it got. PPS Cocodamol made me feel sick so I switched to just Flucloxacillin and paracetamol!
