I'm regretting now because I missed how I look from the front. What should I do. Here's my before and after

Hello,Considering that you are in healing phase with 5 months post-op, you may still have edema and swelling. When you totaly heal, you will see your final result. If that is not satisfying, you can undergo a revision rhinoplasty to improve your nose. You can achieve more feminine, well balanced and natural look you desired.  Be sure that your surgeon is an expert.

It is too soon to decide what to do! Wait 5-6 months and see several very experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeons to have discussions about what to do since the swelling  will be gone then.

On front view, your nose does not appear to be too thin. Five months postoperative is too soon to see your final results, but if you're concerned by your appearance, consider getting a second opinion from another reputable rhinoplasty specialist. Wishing you well. Dr Joseph

The pictures are good but with revisions, it's very important that you see someone in consult, ideally in person. 5 months is still early and your nose might change but consider a consultation for revision around the 1 year mark. Or discuss your concerns with you primary surgeon. Best wishes

The first thing I would recommend is to wait at least 9 months following her initial rhinoplasty surgery.  This would allow any swelling, etc. to resolve prior to undertaking a procedure.Additional views of your nose before and after would also be extremely helpful.  Based on the limited views that I see, the middle vault of your nose appears to be wide.  Furthermore the tip structures seemed to be poorly defined especially on the last photograph provided.  This is not enough to make a complete assessment on what needs to be done.I would recommend seeking out and experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon.  The best time to do this would be approximately 9 months following your initial surgery so that an exact assessment of what needs to be done can be performed.  Good luck

It is too soon to evaluate your result just 5 months after surgery. Give yourself another 4-6 months before consulting with a revision rhinoplasty specialist with pre-op photographs and an operative report in hand.

Michael Elam, MD (retired) · Answer

Dear Alololo,I would suggest that you seek some secondary opinions in approximately five months as you are still in the recovery phase and have swelling that will dissipate over the coming months. When seeking secondary opinions it would be helpful to have your original before photographs and a copy of your operative report. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
