DOCTOR TOO CONSERVATIVE FOR MY TASTE. TOO MUCH MONEY SPENT FOR SUCH A MINOR CHANGE

Congrats on your pregnancy! :) isn't it that maybe the reason why it swelled back up? Maybe your hormones reacting to the pregnancy? Probably I am wrong but isn't it true that women swell up a little when they are pregnant? Also I can tell you that my nose feels bigger during the heat, when I am in the sun, ESPECIALLY when I eat spicy and salty food, right after I take a shower and in the morning when I get up from bed.

I also want to add that my nose looks different in real life. In pictures you capture just a moment and might seem smaller but the truth is that 3/4 for example you can clearly see the bump and it is very big.

Hello, I am sorry about what happened to you and that you are not happy. I am in the same boat. I don't think I made a smart choice, or at least I chose the wrong doctor. I feel my doc was too conservative since the change is so small. I think your doctor was conservative too. Like you, I had people that did not even noticed I had something done (i mean, PEOPLE THAT KNEW ABOUT IT, THAT I HAD INFORMED). My nose is still big, a small bump is still there and not enough bone was shaved in my opinion. I think my doc is so old school that probably opted for a safe, plain approach. I can't afford to get a revision either, and I know that if I will do the surgery with him he will charge me only the anesthesia fee and room fee but why would I go back to the person that messed it up the first time anyway? I see that your nose has improved from its original shape but like my case, I think we both needed more work done. Ask your doc about kenalog injections: i had them done too. don't expect miracles but the nose will shrink a little bit more. I am now 6 months post op and I am seeing my doc on the 17th, let's see what he has to say. Good luck!

Thank you Angie. It's better than before for sure, I was looking at old pictures from some scary angles and wow, it was ugly before :) I guess I am a little disappointed I did not achieve what I was hoping for. I would say from 1 to 10 I would give it a 7.

Thank you so much for your comment but it looks bigger in person I think. When I take pictures you can't really see it...At the beginning I thought my nose was not suitable for the shape and size I wanted...but then I see pics of people with noses bigger than mine that after surgery get a nice outcome. Like I said, my doc was too conservative. And I am not going for a revision since I don't want to go through the whole process again, plus I am not spending more money. I'll keep it the way it is. Good thing like you said, he did not take off too much
