I discussed exactly what I wanted for a rhinoplasty result and even showed a picture. I asked that the nose not be tipped up, however, it now is. The nostrils are crooked and the doctor did a slight procedure to correct it, but made it worse. I wanted a straight nose on profile and it is not, and as I said, it's now tipped up with some of the tip cut off.
The physician said it's beautiful; of course, what else is he going to say. He eventually acknowledged that he made my nose worse. The doctor says he has no idea how to fix what he did and has refused to refer me to anyone that might help. Additionally, he did some lip surgery and made a choice to lengthen my lip without my approval. I have now lost my beautiful smile as the lip hangs over my lower teeth with my lips gently parted, and the lip covers half of the upper teeth on smile.
My nose is so ugly now I do have not been out socially for two years. I've spent almost $1000 trying to find someone who can help to do a revision. I am so devestated and very depressed. I've been in counseling for two years and can't get over this as I have to look at my face everyday and am humiliated how it looks. Any guidance or suggestions for correcting this? I have more photos if that will help.

Good question. This is a very common request for patients that have a small dorsal hump but otherwise like the look of their nose. In patients with small humps, sometimes it's possible to simple shave down the bone and trim down the cartilage slightly through a closed rhinoplasty. You only have...
