in 1989 at the age of 24 I had a septo/rhinoplasty done in Mobile, Ala with an up and coming ENT Dr. M. Lyons. I was left with no ability to breathe thru my nose, horrific snoring, poor sleep and depression. now 25 yrs later I am going in for repair of my self esteem and nose! I want to keep you all updated, I am making the consultation next week with highly recommended rhino reconstruction specialist Dr. Calvin Johnson in New Orleans.

I had the same thing happen to me my bridge which was straight with no bumps got shaved down and my tip which I asked to be thinner and straight now looks even more square shaped .Dr Adam Kalencinski in Poland is his name and he never replyed to my emails either .

Its ok having a smaller nose but you should be able to breath out of it and it is supposed to blend in with other facial features .

one dermatologist did inject my bridge with Juvaderm when he did my nasolabial folds, great result! it was the first time in 20 years I saw bridge on my nose and I cried for a week, I was so thrilled! send me some b4 n after shots when you get it done! you're in my prayers Bev :)
