Rhinoplasty extreme regret.. ethnic rhinoplasty gone wrong (Photo)

A
aliyaprincessMar 22, 2024

The top is the before and the bottom is after . I am two days getting my cast off and absolutely hate my results. I asked for just a little tip refinement from the sides and instead was given an overly pinched squidward nose. My soft cute feature is gone and now replaced by a grinch pointy nose. It’s way too small for my face. I know there is swelling but I’m guessing swelling will decrease it and make it even smaller which is worse… do I have any hope to make it softer and rounded again?

I would go speak to your original surgeon. Rhinoplasty recovery is quite extensive and many things can change. It is not uncommon for swelling to be asymmetric. Sometimes a steroid injection can help.
