I agree-should be subtle. what all did you have done? still trying to figure out just how long until I regain more of a sense of normality or recovery. Congrats on your positive end result :)
always great to hear a success story/satisfied patient. Thanks for sharing and congrats! I hope it only gets better as it heals! Was this a revision procedure for you?
wow, interesting to read how it affects everyone so differently. I did not get nausea but I did get super swollen. I had a severe trauma though, in terms of my nose being crooked (though mostly also noticeable from certain angles). Mine came from childhood trauma (falling on my face) when I was still learning how to use my legs. Anyways, one of my eyes pretty much closed/squinty. I found the internal stints to be extremely uncomfortable and I'm hoping healing in time will fix the issues I hate because I had a hard time even swallowing my saliva the first week after. Definitely lost some weight that week. Crackers were my friend. Congrats on the success story, danirpi! Good luck, Marilicious! My advice for anyone thinking about rhinoplasty--communication is KEY--make sure you and your doctor are on the same page with every detail (put it in writing if you have to) AND get in touch with actual patients who can tell you the doctor listened to them and truly cares
I had a crooked nose "fix" as well and they are, from what I read, the most difficult to do. I also have somewhat uneven nostrils, a bump that feels like a bone and one side still looks crooked (looks like it's crooked the opposite way now-maybe overcompensation?). When I asked my doctor about the part that feels like a bone, he said he had no idea what it was and wouldn't really for another year, once all the swelling is said to go down. Somewhat luckily for me, the bump is not as visible so much as I can feel it. Everyone seems to heal differently and for sure everyone swells differently. I'm hoping that means the apparently unevenness for both of us is from swelling. I hope you have gotten some better answers from someone and/or improved results by now. Best of luck to you.
