I'm writing this for those who might come upon this years after I'm not on here anymore. I want to say that just two weeks ago i saw a change in my nostrils and bridge that made me happier. I am not depressed anymore like I was and am starting to finally see a good result. I still would rather not have done this lol but I am a lot better than I was. I was in such a deep depression over this, I just want to give others hope. Don't give up, give the healing a chance.

I'm still not happy with having this done and I would go back for my old nose ANY day. I really miss it and am going through the worst time of my life! This is a situation not to be taken lightly. If you want rhinoplasty, your nose would have to be on your mind day and night. That was not the case with me. I just thought I could fix a minor imperfection. Now my life is ruined and I have a road ahead of me that I never ever would have imagined or signed up for.

Great review?

Hi, I'm in same situation. The doctor did opposite of what I told him and did a mojor procedure, when on consultation he lied away that he doing small conservative work. I work with my bridge completely shaved down :( I told he so much I love high bridges and he was so demanding for me to do my bridge.so I wanted it filed ever so slighly. But middle part of my nose my bone is so gone. And the pain...omg physically and then mentally. Do you have picture of just your nose pls...message it to my inbox. I really want to see, thank you and hope you fall in love with ur nose

Thanks tara - I am feeling somewhat better, I just miss the length that I had. I wish I just got a small bump removed.

Im so glad that you are starting to like your new nose. Hopefully it will get better and better as time goes on. I'm really nervous about the depression part and I'm trying to prepare myself to be very patient once the procedure done.

Hello. Depression is VERY normal after rhinoplasty...my surgeon has told me depression happens almost 2/3 of each person who gets plastic surgery done and thats because the healing process and the feeling not "yourself"...a psychiatrist is suggested and I myself have been very depressed throughout this process mainly because my nostrils are healing at different times one side is healing quicker then the other so at the moment it looks uneven AND my smile isn't my regular smile right now which is because the nerves need to heal but these two things have changed my mood drastically. Day by day I am feel much better though but for deep depression i suggest a psychologist until it goes away :) would love to critique it but unfortunately don't see pictures, I bet you look gorgeous though xo

Hi Rain, I hope you're feeling better about your nose. I'm having an especially hard day today but am also curious to see your pictures...if you can, please send to faith2012@sbcglobal.net. I want me old nose back too. At least with my old nose, I could put make-up on when I wanted to look/feel good. Now, even with make-up my, I don't like how I look and I also hate the saggy neck my PS gave me. :(

I would kill to have your nose! I think the after looks very natural. I'm sorry you are having a hard time and I hope that over time it grows on ya and maybe you'll really love it.

That sucks you aren't happy with your new nose. :( Spend all that money for something you don't love.
If it makes any difference I am in love with your new nose. From what I can see it seems like it fits your face nicely. I would kill to have a nose like that.

I would like to the photos, do you have an email address? I am concerned about making my nose look to small and unatural as well. Thanks for the help

Hang in there rain. I'm having the same issue you are having. I hate this new upturned nose too. If you don't mind I'd like to see your before and after pics. Also how long ago was your surgery? My rhinoplasty was on May 9 and I'm checking the mirror every morning for progress.

Your new nose looks beautiful, way more natural looking actually. However, I know that no matter what we say its not going to change how you feel. Good luck

Thank you for sharing and posting your photos so we could visualize what you're describing. If it makes you feel any better, I think the new version of your nose looks fantastic, still distinctive, but more refined.
