I had the rhinoplasty 10 days ago and am freaking out because it looks too rotated up, my nostrils are uneven, and my smile is NOT normal looking! I wanted it to still look like my nose but not as long and a closer to my face. Now it looks like a lions nose almost. Its like lip to nose, no middle area and my upper teeth and gums still ache!

I am not happy. I am depressed and very regretful. I should have left my nose alone. I wanted small changes and the result has effected my whole face. I wanted a small bump shaved down on the side of my bridge and the tip refined so it wasn't as long. My WHOLE nose is different. It looks like it was smooched into my face. It is wider, my tip and nostrils are wider, there are creases on the sides of my nostrils I didn't have before, my upper lip is being pushed down, and it is more hollow under my eyes. I feel like I look like an alien. I realllllly hope this is still just swelling!!!!!

The lip is def a swelling - i am experiencing the same thing... From the pics of others i've seen, month 4 improves the swelling a great deal... Hang in there!

Give it time! It takes a long time to heal and adjust to your nose, I have a feeling you will like it in the end. It will settle down to look more like your original nose but less projected.

I am soooooooo depressed. I have started therapy because I have completely withdrawn myself socially and pretty much publicly. The only thing I do is go to work and necessary errands. Dr Ghavami has ruined my life. My nose is longer, wider bridge and nostrils, and smooched in and down on my face. My nose and upper lip are almost a centimeter lower than before. My smile barely shows my teeth. I look like I have droopy smooch nose. Everyone at work looks at me weird. Friends don't know what to say except, " he can fix it right?"...

i think you look soo pretty! and the smile is like mine!! i am 3 weeks post up and have this stiff looking smile just look at my pictures..
cheer up, i am going through the same thing as you , the depression, waking up seeing the smooched nose and just feeling sad, but Im trying to think positive and thinking the swelling is distorting the results. what does your dr say? Have you had much work done, was it closed or open? Big hugs

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am so sorry for what you went through. I have been debating my situation for years and am still on the fence about what to do. I wrestle with this every day that I look into the mirror since as I've grown older, the appearance has worstened. I hope so much for you that your nose will improve and will change for the best. I too am in therapy but so far no real results from that.

Thank you for responding and for your hope. I am sorry you had a bad experience as well :-( ive never felt so hopeless, trapped inside myself.

I'm so sorry and fearful I may be in the same boat as you very soon:( I'm so worried and distraught that my smile is gone and it may take months upon months to return if ever.
What was your docs response when you voiced this concern 3 months post?

you are still so swollen at 3 months! after my first rhinoplasty I looked like a freak show until 6 months! especially if bones were broken. Be patient!!! I couldn't smile right for months!!! I wouldn't even start accessing your nose until 3 more months from now!
