Had open rhinoplasty 4.5 months ago in thailand. absolutely hate it, not even close to the shape I wanted. Have consult booked in for revision here in Australia.
Feel like he's taken too much off the bridge and not enough off my tip.
So depressed I've even done this :(
Not sure if just reducing the profile of the tip will help? Suggestions?
Doc said he will do revision in 6 months and 'slim nasal' doesn't sound like what I want?
Don't want to go back to same surgeon.

Been a week since my op. have my cast off and now has to be taped for a week.
Surgeon has build bridge back up and taken some off tip, said skin is so thick so hopefully gets more defined in the tip like I want but guess I have to play the waiting game

I was just reading your comments on the other post and popped over to have a look at yours. I must say WOW it's looking amazing already!

Thank you, it's been a tough 6 months going thru it all but definitely feeling more confident.. To think that surgeon in Thailand is doing this to ppl and clearly has no idea makes me feel so sorry for them!! :(

Hi hay lee! Can you private message me please who your surgeon was?! Your revision looks incredible!

Did you choose another surgeon? Wasn't your primary 6 months ago? Your profile looks very nice. Happy for you.

Yeah I decided to get it done here In Australia instead.
Thank god I did!! Yep it was only 6 months ago! So happy he did it for me and didnt make me wait a year :) my tip still looks quite ugly lol little bit scared when the tape comes off coz I know ill stress over it but its an improvement from before so I can't complain!! :)

I think it's still very early, the swelling will take time. I would still tape it and follow the surgeon's instructions carefully. Please keep us updated.
