Ive had 7 nose surgeries which 3 have been rhynoplasties. Latest surgeon focused on breathing as other ENT's did too with septoplasties done on me before those surgeons referred me to this last one. Last rhynoplasty was done Feb.'16. Im not happy with how it looks & Ive just done some research to find answers to the issues I think Im facing hence the title for this question. Saw surgeon today, wasnt nice, said im never happy with results & doesnt wanna touch nose till at least Feb.'17. Pls help!
