Hi there, I hope I'm not upsetting anybody, but my nose didn't really go down at all after that picture was taken (it has now been about five months). However, there IS HOPE. I posted above that I got some Restylane injected into my nose and that it was much better.....and that you shouldn't inject Radiesse because it's too permanent. Well unfortunately, the Restylane only lasted for about a month for me, and the PS just couldn't get it precise enough for my liking......and so I have injected some Radiesse into it because I am soooo desperate to look normal. The Radiesse is staying put and lasting. I'm getting some more put into it today and will post some pictures so you can see the DRAMATIC difference. While my first pick would've been to wait for another surgery, I really don't have $12,000 laying around and I am so wary about what can go wrong. Apparently, there is a significant risk when they operate to drop the tip that it will not drop at all, and instead turn up even MORE. I just am not at an emotional level yet that I think I could handle my nose looking worse that it already does. Radiesse can't do anything major, but it can make my nose look normal again, with very little risk. So anyway, that's my advice to you if yours doesn't drop! Hopefully it will, though :-)

Hi, I don't want to post my doctor's name, but I am in Hawaii, so it was definitely a different doctor. You might be one of the lucky ones whose nose will go down--I have read of that happening to several people, so don't panic yet :-) If it doesn't go down, just do what I did and inject restylane into it so that it won't look so overdone and fake until you can get the next surgery. It really makes it look 100% better. Also, if you do end up getting it surgically corrected, go to doctor Roland Daniel or possibly Dr Richard Clark (if you like the look of his short nose revisions, which I do). Feel free to send me a pm or post another comment if you have any other questions.......I spend pretty much all of my time researching this :-)

Hi Emily, I had my surgery on January 28th, so it has been quite a while for me. I've looked into getting a revision surgery but have been completely shocked by how expensive it is. It is apparently extremely hard and complicated to lengthen and de-rotate a nose, and only a few surgeone are skilled enough to do it properly. I don't know if you have this problem, but because of the overrotation, my nose was a "ski jump" which looked HORRIBLE. However, I did find an immediate solution: I went to a different plastic surgeon, and told a "white lie" that my surgery was a year ago, and had him inject restylane into the curved part to make it straight. It looks 75% better, which is really good enough for me for a little while. DO NOT get Radiesse injected, because you won't be able to get another surgery for another 1-3 years, and it can screw up the resuls even after that. Restylane does not touch the bone, it just plumps up the skin, and is gone in 6 months so there's no risk. I'm still not okay with my nose, and know that it's not going to go down any further. My PS said he will fix it for free, and I am so tempted because I'm BROKE, but I really don't trust him after he screwed it up so badly.

I have the same thing and am now six weeks post surgery. The picture in my profile was taken yesterday. My bridge has been scooped out into a slope, and my nose is severely overrotated and over-shortened. It's infuriating because I had a pretty good nose to start with and only needed minor work done. Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you had the nose drop more after six weeks? It's just hard to believe that it will. Also, if any of you have had this problem and gotten it fixed, or have found a great new p.s. to fix it when the time is right, I would appreciate it so much if you would send me a private message and let me know his name. Thanks!
