I had surgery on May 22nd and it wasn't all that bad. I had very minor brusing that's already gone and I had some swelling which was at its worst from day2-5 then it started to improve. I took arnica tablets/vitamin c as well and I think it helped but everyone is different. The reason for my surgery was I wasn't happy with my Middle Eastern/Jewish looking nose. I had a bump and a droop my nose as well as a deviated septum. All my problems were minor except my nose from the side was big. I'm on day 9 post up and I feel some what regretful and sad that I did it. I feel my nose is to small now and he shaved too cartlidge off for a man at least. I feel my nose is cute now and not what I wanted more of a man nose. But no one is saying that but me. I hope my feelings change but I don't know yet. I know theres more healing to do but thats how i feel. I feel like he just took to much bone and the nose is to small for my face i have a Oval shaped head lol

I will keep you updated please give me your honest opinions on what you think and I'm my toughest critic so be brutally honest thanks. You can say anything as long as your being honest and thats what you think. Maybe im just going nuts here.

From what I can see, you have a really good result; it looks natural and fits your face. That is really all you can ask for.

Swelling is going down and I like the nose from the front and the left side but I really do not like my right side! It doesnt have a straight line like it suppose to and slopes! How could this happen. How can 1 side look nice and straight and the other be sloped? Im upset about it. Other than that the nose is starting to look different and take shape but the right side is the problem.

Faced are ALL asymmetrical we all have a great side and a not so great side lol usually one side of the face is higher or lower than the other and will affect views my doc explained this this way: pick out 4 perfect noses on people in a magazine than divide the picture in half and I was very surprised at the mirror image guess there is no perfect nose my dear but yours still looks great;)

Thanks! It is still early to judge but who knows it might be swelling. I do agree there is no such thing as perfect. My cousin who did hers told me as long as there is a significant positive change and it fits your face in a natural way that's all you can really ask for. I guess I just want my final results now.

hey! i think my nose is straight on one side and slopes on the other... I am hoping it is swelling. Cheer up, it's still so early... just enjoy your non bumpy nose and worry later =)

I'm getting use to it with each day now, just have to be more patient this recovery takes forever!
