My nose looks strange and pig like after my cast removal. And I am so worried I'll be stuck like this forever. What to do?

I had my rhinoplasty exactly 5 days ago and got my cast off today. I cried immediately after they removed the cast because the bridge of my nose looks fine but the tip looks extremely upturned and my nostrils look strange to me. I feel so ugly and disfigured now and I'm so scared. Please help me.

If one has significant microgenia, a small chin, it is something that should be addressed at the same time as a rhinoplasty to give the patient optimal facial and nasal balance. This should be done by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Otolaryngologist with expertise and experience in rhinoplasty.

I think the best thing to do would be to contact your surgeon's office if you are concerned. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Actually by lowering the bridge of your nose between your eyes (radix) you will observe the opposite effect: your eyes will appear further apart.  Raising the height of the bridge and making it more narrow would cause them to look closer together.

Yes, you can fix a nose that was broken over 20 years ago. Obviously the technique is different than if you had gone in immediately after the injury, but it can still be done. The difference now is the nose will have to be "re-broken" before it can be reset, and by "re-broken" I mean controlled...
