One year.

Hello all. It's been a little over one year since my surgery and I just want to say that I am really displeased with the outcome of my surgery. I am actually looking into getting a revision. My nose is extremely asymmetrical and bulbous. The sides are pinched and look sunken in. My columnella is so stiff and long that is still creating an awful crease on my top lip. This whole past year I have been trying to be really positive in hopes that my nose and smile would get better in time...... But no such luck. I have actually gone to a revision surgeon who told me he probably wouldn't be able to fix it. He mentioned that I barely had any cartilage left in my nose and wasn't sure if ear cartilage would hold up due to my thick skin. If anybody knows of a good revision surgeon in the fl area. Please let me know.

Hi there, not sure if you went through with the revision already. Dr. Tom Trevisani in Orlando did my 2nd revision and I am beyond thankful I was able to find him ( 2 prior surgeries by Dr Steiger in Boca with unsatisfactory results)

Steiger did my 1st nose job and it worked out fine, what was wrong with yours?

Sixth month. Still have a crease on upper lip.

I'm going to my doctor tomorrow again to ask about the crease on my top lip that is not going away even after six months. After looking at a ton of pictures from before I never had a crease on my top lip, as my doctor claims. My top lip also looks completely different. If any body has experienced this please let me know. I want to know if it will go away or if I am going to need a revision.

i still have that weird "monkey lip" and it has been 3 years since my surgery. I hate it so much, it looks like my face is no longer centered. Please tell me you were able to resolve this and someone took you seriously. I have been so sad fo 3 years now and scared to go back to my surgeon because I dont want it to turn out worse.

Hi Robyn. I talked to my doctor and he said the reason for it was because of the strut he placed on my nose and that with time it would go away. I am now 7 months post op and is still there. Although its getting a little better I can still see and feel a crease on my upper lip. I'm hoping that in another 6 months it will get better.

Thank you! You really are still so beautfiul. I am 3 years post op and still have that awful line above my lip so it looks like a grimmace. It looks just awful. I am going tomorrow back to the original surgeon, as I cannot afford to go to another, and am hoping he can offer a solution. I can't find any solution on here. If you find out anything, or if it goes away, please let me know. Thanks again!

Did your horizontal line ever go away? Mine is still there 4 years post op. I just hate it.
December 15, 2013
Yeah. I still have it...... It's been almost a year since my surgery. I went to another doctor and he said it's probably not going to go away. I'll have my final one year appointment with my doctor and ask about it again.

Yes, mine too. MIne was because the septi muscle was released. I have researched everything and the only thing that has worked was having some filler put into the very base of the nose...it fills the area where the muscle used to expand. Was your septi muscle cut?

If you want to know, I know this sounds weird, but feel under your upper lip...push up to the nasal base, you can feel a huge tendon move back and forth if you move your thumb back and forth. If you can feel this, you def. had your septi muscle cut or released.
December 15, 2013
Hmm. I'm not sure I feel anything. But I may just not be doing it right. The base of my collumnella does feel really hard.
December 15, 2013
may not be the septi muscle release then. Let me know if you find a solution to the horizontal line. I am just miserable with it...
