Updated 1year 2 months after surgery

I previously posted a photo showing the profile about 2-3 months after my rhinoplasty and I am still really happy with the result from the side. A hump was removed from the top/ bridge of the nose area and from the side profile there is a big improvement. I never posted any photos from the front as I wasn't initially happy with the results. I was told that the swelling would take a year to go down and I needed to wait to see my true results. So I did. I really agree that you have to wait the whole year to actually see your results. But still not happy a year later, revision surgery was mentioned as an option to resolve the issue. To look at the nose from the front, it curves over toward the right side of my face. I never felt like I was looking for perfection I just wanted a nose that looked relatively straight in the way noses should. I used to avoid having my photo taken because of my side profile but now I avoid having it taken as my nose just looks bizarre. Caught at a funny angle, it actually has a bit of a beak look about it. A year after the surgery, I am told that there is a strong risk of collapse of my nostril if I do have revision surgery because during my initial surgery my nose was broken in two places, to break it a third time would be risky. So I feel I am stuck like this now. Although the side profile has boosted my confidence in ways ,I think my nose from the front looks worse than before. I left this review because if you are thinking of getting a rhinoplasty you may want to consider my experience.

Amazing Results from my Rhinoplasty.

Mr Karoo was lovely. From my initial appointment I felt like he understood exactly what I wanted. He is very professional and the results speak for themselves. I had a great experience at Sancta Maria and I am genuinely happy with the results. It has boosted my self confidence I feel like a different person in a way. I no longer worry about people looking at me or taking a photo from a particular angle.
