In the summer of 2011, I underwent cosmetic rhinoplasty with a desire to straighten my nose. The surgery passed without complication. No excessive bleeding and minimal pain. My plastic surgeon did create a higher bridge. However, as the months passed, I noticed that my nose remained broad on the sides. I am now 9 months post-op and I am concerned that the shape I see now will more or less be the final result. If so, then my nose is broader than I requested in my consult.

Sometimes doctors require patients to sign a form stating that they won't talk about them online. That could be the case here, or it's possible that a member doesn't want to speak badly of their doctor. We have tons of reviews on RealSelf that are negative and do list the doctors. We never remove negative reviews or the names of surgeons just because they are negative.
I'm sorry your results aren't what you'd hoped! That is disappointing, indeed. Do you have a before and after photo you can post so we can visualize what you're describing? (You can blur out your eyes if that would make you more comfortable.)
Hoping that something magical happens and it turns out that your nose is still just swollen!
Hmm, strange that we can't view them. Let me know if you need help posting them again. Sorry they are not showing up!
