Please doctors! Will I stay looking like miss piggy forever? I hate my front profile. I wanted the bump on my nose removed and my nose bit more narrow but instead I came out looking like a pig from my front profile. The side looks nice but I cry every single day because the front of my face looks like a pig. I'm regretting this procedure and it's devastating because it was so expensive. I've had comments that I look like the people from the grinch movie too. Would I need a revision after12 months?

Answer: Unsatisfied after rhinoplasty Dear Leigh mag,you are still in the early stage of recovery.It is likely that shape of your nose will change as the swelling resolves. I would suggest you to be patient, follow your surgeon's instructions and discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Too early to think about revision! Thank you for the question! It is rather difficult to fully assess your situation without an in-person exam. That being said, it's much too early to worry about revision at 3 weeks post-op. At this time, you are likely to have swelling which will prevent you from seeing final results. It may take 6 to 12 months to resolve completely. I would recommend giving it some time for your nose to settle. If your swelling persists months from now, consult with your plastic surgeon.
