Rhinoplasty Nightmare

Since I was a little girl, I always wanted to get a nose job. I never liked my nose, it was too big, too wide and I always knew I could look better. I was always teased as a kid cause of my nose and that brought a lot of insecurities. Every day I wished I could get a rhinoplasty to fix my nose, because I knew I could get a nose that suits my face better. All I wanted was my tip refined, my nostrils to look smaller and maybe an implant for my nose. Well I finally got my wish, when my mother decided to make my longtime wish come true and it actually became a nightmare.
After three rhinoplasty, my nose still looks the same as I came in the doctors door 2 years ago. I don't know If I should get another revision with the same doctor, another doctor or just accept that my nose won't get better. I've seen better nose jobs on african americans which I love the results, but mine seems to keep getting worse and worse, what should I do? I know my nose can look better.

Thank you for sharing your story and photos. You look like you still might be swollen. Don't despair yet! You need to give them some time (at least another 3 to 6 months) to see if your nose doesn't settle and give you just the look you're wanting.
If it doesn't, contact a revision rhinoplasty SPECIALIST and accept nothing less than that. You've had a lot done to your nose and you want someone who knows what he or she is doing!

I am so sorry you are having to endure so many procedures, and still havent found you wanted in a doctor-and or- nose. But, I would recommend going to a VERY experienced surgeon before you go through ANY more operations. It is important to wait for the nose to heal. Also, remember, that our noses can only change to a certain degree. Its hard to gage that when we see other noses. But, thats why its important to go see someone who has seen and done everything- rhinoplasty wise.
From the last picture you posted- your nose looks nice. If it is not what you wanted- I would first research Experienced doctors (ENT + Plastic Surgery) to gain a better idea of what is happening inside and outside your nose. Its hard to do, I know :)- but try to wait it out and see your results first before going through anymore surgeries.
I wish you the best! Keep us posted!
