im 9 months post op and still have uneven nostrils, the thing thats irritating me the most is that the top of my nostrils look like triangles vertex (or the highest 2 points of the letter M) they look very unnatural and unappealing, are they going to get rounder as time goes by? is there anything i can do except for going for a revision rhinoplasty? thanks in advance
Im 23. I wanted a nose job to thin out my nose mostly from the profile, my bump was minimal and I just wanted that down a little. I told him I wanted my tip the same and he agreed it was already in good position but he has to raise it initially because itll drop. I took my cast off 3 days ago and havent eaten and have been crying since. My nose looks scooped, piggish, unnatural. I miss my old nose considerably and regret this 100%. I fear I will never forgive myself. I look like a cartoon
I had rhinoplasty, a chin implant and lipo 9 weeks ago and I've noticed my smile and mouth change a lot since the surgery. It now feels very forced and unnatural, and my lips cover my teeth much more than they did before. I've lost a lot of mobility in my lips and my smile is more narrow than before. I know this can be normal and my nose bridge and chin still feel stiff when I try to move them by frowning. But I'm 9 weeks post surgery and I feel like I look unnatural every time I talk and smile.
I had an initial rhinoplasty in December 2015, and a revision in December 2016. I am having a nostril base reduction performed in April. I'm concerned with my wide, unnatural-looking columella (between nostrils). I also don't like the way my nostrils appear to flare out in the frontal view, away from the centre of my nose (vs. pointing towards the tip). Is this because of the swollen tip and columella pushing them out? Will refining the tip and reducing the width of the columella address this?
I had my cast removed this week and am 10 days post op. I previously had a downward droopy nose which I wanted to correct but didn't want the appearance of an upward turning nose. I know I need to wait it out as my nose has been anchored and it's only 10 days since my operation but I'm wondering from experience if my nose is going to relax down much further? I feel like it's pulling my lip up and doesn't look natural.
this is truly serious for me.. when i was 14 i was very vain, one day i spent maybe 1 hour squeezing the blackheads from my nose and noticed it went big and red... next day it was the same, so i slept with a clothes peg on my nose for months... only to make things worse.. long story short... 16 years later there is a dramatic difference in my nose, it continues to get bigger and unnatural looking,, in hot weather i cannot breathe out of my nose for some reason, i need help please....
I had a closed rhinoplasty 4 weeks ago and I'm worried about my nose tip and columella.My nose tip looks too up turned,the distance between the nose tip and my upper lip appears to be longer and unnatural,and when I smile my nose looks piggy(since the tip is stiff,it's not dropping anymore,because it would hide my nostrils and decrease the distance between nose tip and upper lip) and my columella is too exposed in my face.Will my nose tip fall and my will columella be less exposed?
I had alar batten grafts put in as a preventative measure, during my rhinoplasty. Had no breathing issues prior to surgery. I am five months out from surgery and my nose above the tip is very bulky. I can feel the grafts and there is an unnatural crease just above my left nostril. If after a year I am still unhappy with the appearance of my nose, how easy is it to remove them these grafts? Will the swelling and recovery be as bad as the original surgery? Can it be done through a closed incision?
What aspects of a surgery will make a patient's nose look unnatural? It is my dream to have my nose size reduced and not the shape changed very much because I want to keep my button nose, though I see so many people who have obvious nose jobs and that scares me. Is it the patient's nose, their request, or simply the surgeon that causes such a travesty? Thank you for your time, Nicole.
I am a male who is satisfied with the overall shape of my nose except when I smile, the tip of the nose drops significantly beneath the small hump I have, a hump I'd like to get shaved down. The doctor suggested I have the depressor septi nasi muscle removed, the hump slightly reduced and the tip slighly brought up. This way, when I smiled, the tip of my nose doesn't depress. Will my nose look unnatural? Is this advisable? Thanks
