I Miss My Old Nose

UPDATED FROM Intuitive745920

Year Update

Hey everyone, hope all is well.
My feelings towards my results have not changed. There are good and bad days. I am grateful it’s not a disaster as I do still resemble myself but I do look different. I will always be most upset at the fact things were performed that I did not ask for or discuss with Dr. Ok.

I have gotten messages stating that I am simply vain. I had the simplest request of just having my bridge narrowed not to look like Halle Berry. I am becoming more bothered by the discomfort I have been feeling from the radix graft and the shield graft. The cephalic trim has impacted my breathing as well. I have to breath out of my mouth or wear a nasal dilator in order to comfortably workout.

Any question feel free to ask

Thank you

I don’t think your being vain.I still regret mine and it’s almost been two years.It’s not botched but I miss my old nose.Like you I have good and bad days too.My old nose was proportional to my face.I feel I was actually more attractive before.Basically your not alone it will get better.Maybe you can see a ent about your breathing?
I feel, I wouldn't want to fly all the way to Istanbul to come out, looking the same. I don't see a difference really. The nose is still bulbous. This is nothing against you, but, I thought his work would be better. I follow him on IG. I.ve seen his praises & his work seems or Seemed perfect. I would've considered him. But, now, no way! Sorry you're going through this. I hope there's help for your breathing.
How long has been since you had the surgery? What did the surgery involve a rib or ear cartilage How was your nose before bridge wise, the reason I am asking is that I am of African descent and have a wide bridge and wide nostrils. Apart from the breathing which I hope you get if fixed how is beauty-wise. Is the bridge narrower and nostril width reduced?
I feel stupid it clearly says a year later, apart from that previous questions still stand, I was also wondering what are the things they did that you never asked for.

9 Months Dr. Ok Rhinoplasty

NO ONE can say his “SKILLS” shows where my results are concerned. Just look at the picture yourself.
The worst part is that I NEVER asked for him to do anything to my tip and I have asked Dunya for the notes or just to provide me with the information of what was performed in the event I wish to have a revision to pass along some information, I have been given nothing but the run around and practically told I am no longer a priority !!

I'm sorry you're unhappy I'm considering getting one by him myself but I don't see difference between the two photos would you mind posting more angles maybe
Same i can't tell a difference (besides the healing scars at the base of he nose). The rest looks the exact same to me
Hi, sorry I haven’t been on here in a while. I will post new photos from different angles to show my areas of concern
I see absolutely no change. There’s absolutely no difference between the before or after. So where are all your complaints coming from??? I would honestly be more upset that I went all the way to Turkey and spent all that money for NOTHING! Cuz the doctor did absolutely nothing to your nose sweetie
Any updates? Sorry you were disappointed.
ORIGINAL POST

Should Have Done More Research.

I will begin by saying nothing can fully prepare you for the psychological impact you will experience after having such a surgery. No matter how much you may have disliked your previous nose you will miss it. Especially if it’s not to your liking.
I have been in and out of depression. If I could do it over. I would have just learned to do makeup, get regular facials, throw on some lashes and a nice wig. The one thing about surgery when it’s your face once it gone it’s gone forever and there is no hiding it as you see it everyday.
I chose Dr. Ok after watching his work for about a year on ig, and YouTube. Mainly due to the “idea” of his “conservativeness”, and his ability to keep some of your same nose structure while enhancing your features, which is what I wanted.
One part of the surgery I did not like very much was that they did not have me hooked up to monitors for my vitals when they sedated me. The anesthesiologist just came into the room injected my IV and reeled me out of the room while I was panicking to speak with Dr. Ok once more as I was worried I misspoke in the consultation about what exactly I wanted. Next thing I know I was out of surgery.
I am only 8 weeks post op. So I know things will change, I am truly hoping not drastically. I think the swelling hides some of the wrongs that I see.
So far the likes. I like the narrowing of my bridge it does not seem over done. I like that Dr. Ok kept some of my natural nasal tip structure as I asked. No one seems to notice I had anything done even my mother says so.
The dislikes however. .. The result of my tip graft I do not like at all. While whatever projection Dr. Ok performed is good and not overly done. It has a ball/rounded appearance to it which I hate !!! There is cartilage bumps I can see clearly through my skin. He took away the slightly squared look I had and liked. I am scared that it will worsen as it heals and as I age such as some difficulty exhaling which I NEVER had.
There are other issues such as uneven nostrils, but I can’t say they are 100% fault of Dr. Ok. I initially had that thought and was so mad with him.
With the tip projection caused the irregularities I had pre-op to be more visible. I can swear by. I have studied old photos of myself along with the pre-Op photos taken and it was there prior. There is a deviation as well I was only able to see once I returned home. There are other review cases on this site which have had the same issue.
The videos on the surgical table are deceiving. The immediate swelling hides a lot in my opinion not causes the
This review is coming from someone who wanted to keep her bulbous, flat tip. I was not aiming for perfection so it’s not about standards and expectations being too high or unrealistic. Feel free to ask any questions.

Hey, when did you get your nose done?
In February 2021.
I think you need to find a way past this, take another approach. This isn’t healthy for you. I can completely understand not receiving the results you would have liked after trusting someone, mines aren’t to my liking as well but this daily internet bashing is a bit much. You have already said he’s not willing to give you anything you want, move onto the next resolve not for anyone else but yourself.

Many people will not believe you just by your behavior on this outlet.
I understand and respect you sharing your experience. It is not easy. I myself have moments where I look at myself and just begin to cry, I dream about my nose and wake up and can’t go back to sleep. I just do not think you are helping yourself most of all or anyone that may come across your story with this approach. I sent you a message the other day, I don’t know if you have seen it. You can message if you would like just to talk privately. Whatever you do next, analyze how you feel while you are doing it. If it’s upsetting, stop and rethink it.
Approach is everything. Dr. Ok will not be phased if people don’t believe you. Post you own review with photos, block your face out WITHOUT all the bashed, just the facts. And once people don’t seek his services he’ll do better. That’s the only time people in general are willing to do better. PROOF is everything
I would like to see them. But I don’t have a page

Hey girl I'm sorry it's been hard for you! I think both noses look beautiful though!
Hi. Thank you I appreciate that. We are our biggest critics and will always find fault in something. But it’s nothing like having a big part of you taken away, and not turning out as you quite hoped. The devil is already telling me to seek revision.

It’s still very early and I’m trying my best to stay positive. I will provide updates as I heal with better pictures.
I also have a hard bad for a tip after an ethnic rhinoplasty and a hanging columella and retracted nostrils. So sorry to hear you're also unhappy with your result. I miss my old self so badly, she was beautiful. I wish I'd only tried filler.
same.
