I Look Like a Pig After a Rhinoplasty.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

The same terrorising thing happened to me 7 months ago when I got my nose done. I remember taking the cast off and looking at the mirror I immediately got so disappointed, daunted, sad...you name it. I felt as if there was an earthquake in my emotions. I got into depression for two weeks, really. Yes, I felt that bad.

He did the same thing to my nose like they did to yours: upturned tip, bulbous, distracting nostrils that always show, bloated and elf-like. And after all that, they tell me that "it is swollen"(?). "Swollen" is not for upturned noses - the tip was intentionally made to face upwards. Sure, a slightly fatter downturned tip could be swollen and gone in months, but a tip still facing the sky, is quite fat and round after 7 months IS NOT "SWOLLEN".

Thankfully, I'm gonna have my 2nd surgery soon. He explained it all well that he will put my nose down and all.

You said that you like your new nose but not 100% happy. So that's like 50/50? If you're happy with it then leave it, and if you're a girl then a upturned nose won't look bad on you - they suit women, because upturned noses are feminine. I'm a guy and the main reason I hated my new nose for was because it was too feminine - the upturnedness.

I'm glad you stayed patient for two years. You proved that surgeons are usually wrong when they say the tip is still drooping down in a year, when even in two years the they don't. They are as they are ever since the cast is off, I'm sure of it.

How can you reshape your nose without surgery?

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE THE PICTURE IS? I DON'T SEE HER PICTURE.

Oh no wonder. Thanks

The tip usually drops after 1-2 months. Here's some related info: Nose tip upturned after Rhinoplasty

Have you seen any change at all?

i HAD THE SAME thing happen to me. I am having a super expensive revision in a month to get it fixed. The whole experience mad me so mad at my first doctor. He totally turned my nose up. I have to have my new doctor put rib cartiledge now in my nose to lengthen it b/c my original doctor shortened it too much and turned it way up. BOth of which I never asked him to do in the first place. I totally feel for you. I have seriously not seen any of my old friends b/c I do not want them to see me. I hope that my 2nd surgery that is coming up will go smoothly b/c I can not live forever with my nose like this!! Good Luck. Look for a new doctor that you feel more confident in and hopefully he can fix your problem. Good Luck!!

Don't think there was anything wrong with your nose before, I would have been happy, but I also think that your nose doesnt look as bad as you think after surgery! :)

This is obviously very common problem. I had the same problem after rhinoplasty;( My nostrils have original different shape but profile is upturned. What bothers me is my "an face" I looked much better before. I don't think that most people desire for perfect cute profile and they don't want to look operated. Actually when surgeons put before/after photos often they don't show you "an face" and that's tricky. I am not planning any revision at the moment. However it is way to early to see your ultimate result. Wait at least 10 months and then find a second opinion. Don't give a chance to your first surgeon to operate on you again! I am sure there is solution for your problem. I know it's hard but stay cool. Good luck Ash:) Take care.

I think your nose looks cute! if you don't like how upturned it is, try to move the cartilage by pulling it down a couple of times each day, every day until the shape changes.
