    Altoids, give your nose time to heal. Don't rush into anything until your nose has healed (1 yr). There are some doctors out there who may be able to help. It's unlikely that the tip of your nose will grow or the dorsal hump. I understand your devastation. One would think that any surgeon would err on the side of a conservative change.

    Faith2012, thanks for knowing how I feel. It's been a long road.

    I had rhinoplasty at 20 and I told the doctor to leave the bridge of my nose alone. i liked it. I wanted a very small change in the tip of my nose. Apparently he felt he knew better and shaved off the bridge. It really affected me the rest of my life. Turns out he lied about being board certified and his photos. He is still in business which is stunning to me. There are many surgeons who shouldn't have a license.

    I am 100% against any fat transfer and was appalled that it was even suggested to me. He is not doing that. I am not looking for a patch job. He and I still have lots to discuss. He has been very nice but I most want not to be placated but heard. I made a deal of it the first time and went into shock when he made my nose thinner after I told him how much I hate skinny noses. It was as if he didn't remember. I have only so much stamina, money and optimism for all of this. You are so incredibly lucky to not have a mess to deal with. Your nose is what I was describing to him for myself (I had not seen your photos, but the jist was the same) I don't know what he can't understand when I talk to him. I was happy and excited and completely confident in him. Anticipating more disappointment with a fix-up makes me feel physically ill. You don't know the whole story. The emotional toll for me is all I can handle. You are very lucky. Your nose is exactly how it should be. You look like you, only better. Thanks for your kind words.
