Nose Job Number 2 - Nov 4th 2012 - Septorhinoplasty - Manchester, UK

Hope it went well... I know those columella blues all too well... Let's hope this time round you get the perfect nose for you!

Sounds like you spent the night at the surgery center? At least you're taken care of, so that's good. And I'm so happy to hear that you can already notice less columella and v-shape. Awesome!

The same happens to me. I had a surgery done in March 2004. I had a big nose like Lea Michele's but with a bump, I coudnt breath well and the doctor performed a septumplasty but I asked to get rid of the bump which I hated so much. As it was my first time, I didn't know anything about the procedure nor the pain, or the risks. As it was a breathing problem and the surgery was performed by an otorrinologist the insurance payed it, well most of it. As time passed by I dislike the result more and more, it was swollen and it didn't look at my original nose at all it was complete different. The dr removed the bump, but instead I got a very big bump at the tip, uneven and big nostrils and ugly tip, it look very crocked and the collumela large. As my doctor died, I couldn't complain to anyone. Also, it looked like it has been operated, didn't seem natural at all. I spent many years regretting about this, I could breath better but I should have not asked the doctor to remove the bump, I thought it was my fault for asking this to an otorrinologist instead of a plastic surgeon. So, I looked so pics and I decided that my nose was so horrible and I needed an impediment NOW. I decided two months ago to do it, and I spent all my money (a lot in fact) cause I choose a very famous doctor, I was so happy and I had big expectations, my surgery was performed to weeks ago. After surgery, the surgeon told me that I had a lot of fibrosis and scars and also a plastic material, I was so disappointed about my previous doctor. Last week, the cast was taken off, today I went for a revision and to change the bandages when I look my nose I was terrible disappointed :( I looks the same as the one that I had had for 8 years, I didn't notice an improvement, it looks the same to me!!!! I felt scammed cause I spent a lot of money and it's the same :/ I really sad and wanna cry. Also, my collumela looks deviated, it was large but at least it was straight…I still have the same ugly unnatural nose from 2004…Moreover I have problems with the scaring and healing, it may have fibrosis again, so to avoid that the doctor told me to pinch, push my nose :/ I think this doesn't work at all. I am very very blue. I don't wanna make you feel bad, just want to share my experience with you and some other people. I really hope you have better luck, and know that everybody is different and everybody reacts different. Please, keep writing your journal. Blessings ;)

How's it going? I'm looking forward to see your columella reduction (I've got the same issue...). Keep us posted!
