To those of you who think my noselooks good, thank you. However to the last person who so clearly knows nothing about me but wants to toss that term around, I am well aware of what BDD is. Amazingly enough you sound exactly like my doctor and I would not be surprised if you were him or another doctor trolling the site. I do not have unrealistic expectations and since I know what I looked like before and after, you cannot realistically say that my results are good or natural. I did not walk in asking to look like Brad Pitt or Geaorge Clooney. I asked for a narrow bridge and straight profile. I did not get that and if 12 of my friends and family members thought I backedout of the surgery, then the end result cannot be all that different. No one asked him for his vision of what my nose should look like. I requested what I wanted and even if it was wrong, it was not his decision to make. He could have declined the surgery just as easily. And why should a patient have to prove they do not have BDD. If adoctor was truly trained to recognize it, as they are supposedly, then it would again fall to the doctor for failing to recognize it in his patient.
Again I really appreciate your response. A real boost to the ego. And no it does not look awful but it is not an improvement to my original appearance which is whats sad. I wanted it less prominent, less wide and not crooked which is clearly is in the head on shot. My best friend of 25 years accused me of backing out. That is how slight any change was. ANd if you are going for slight and subtle, that is one thing. But I wanted dramatic and got practically no alteration with TWO rounds of surgery, an infection and a lot of money. In fact, the appeal you ARE probably seeing is the result of adding the chin implant in this same surgery. Without that, the nose looked even worse in comparison to the profile. But I really appreciate the encouragement.
Thats very nice of you to say, but I cannot see how you would think it is perfect. Of course I belive this doctor has been posting responses to my review, etc so I am going to take that with a grain of salt. The profile is very much off balance with a deficient chin and too prominet a nose for the face leaving me with a drawn and tired look due to the pull under my eyes. This picture is after 2 rhinos and a chin implant. The result should be more harmonious.
It does not look terrible but it does not look substantially different from what I had. I definitely wanted to deproject the tip since it is so prominent compared to my chin. And you are looking at the profile WITH a chin implant added so that helps. However, it is still the front view that shows the issue. It is too wide for my face at the bridge. As well, it causes a draw under my eyes that makes me always look tired.
