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?

Dear Lilla28,
It is still early in your healing process to tell how your nose will turn out. There is still a lot of swelling two months post-op.If you have concerns, please bring them up to your surgeon so they can guide you.It can take 6-12 months to fully heal from a rhinoplasty, even longer...
Thank you for your question.
We usually recommend to walk post operative to prevent DVT and embolism... so walking is allowed next day.following rhinoplasty. Walk slowly.. dont exhaust yourself. Avoid direct sunlight also
Best of luck

Doing the septum is a smaller part of the rhinoplasty, so it doesn't really save a lot. Many surgeons will not combine these because of the difficulty of getting paid when combining cosmetic and insurance procedures. Out of pocket will still likely be $6-8k for the rhinoplasty. Best of luck!
