6 Month Post Op -

Revision the doctor did not mention revision, he stated that everyone nose is uneven, I am not willing to wait a year for any further incorrect findings could this just be swelling I am 6 month post op or am I just in denial.

It may be true that everyone's nose is uneven to a degree, but where the problem lies is if you came out of surgery with a nose that is MORE uneven and asymmetrical than the one you went IN with. I would not rely on your original surgeon alone for all of the answers. It would be wise to consult other surgeons of what can be done with this new baseline that you have. Whatever you have done to it from here on out is from a new compromised starting point, so you have to be willing to hear realistic talk about what is attainable and what isn't. there are some great revision surgeons out there who view their work as a billboard for what they do and will work to give you a nose they would be proud to have their name on. Unfortunately, this falls greatly on the patient to do research and weed through doctors not best suited for your needs. Just because one is willing does not mean they have the skill and eye and foresight to deliver. Patience is the name of the game at this point and while there are many doctors who feel comfortable working on revisions before the one year mark, it really is to your benefit to wait (and many of us know how hard it is!) because you want the surgeon to know what is really going on and what they have to work with... it is already somewhat of a gamble and just speculation on the end result, because they do not exactly know what they are going to find going on in your nose. You both need the clearest idea possible going into revision. I really think personally, from an emotional standpoint, it is worse to rush off trying to fix something based off of being emotionally scarred... you need to heal from the trauma of a failed surgery so that you don't sign up for another surgery out of panic. Truly wishing you the best! You are NOT alone.

I do not have any medical training but in my opinion your nose clearly falls outside the range of normal asymmetry. A doctor will never admit to botching a patients nose. Doctors always have some thing nice to say about the results of their surgery. I don't want to hurt you, but you current nose looks like you were born with a cleft lip/palate or was in an accident.

Oh don't be sorry, I asked a question thank you but please is it who or go maybe you can fix it the misspelled word I mean So you have a lot of history on real self!

I meant GO to another surgeon for a consult. Sorry for the confusion.
