I had primary Rinoplasty last September, he had all the credentials, so I thought my choice was right. I had septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and slight changes to the tip. I actually had a great nose to begin with, but...since my septum really needed to be fixed, I figured why not while you're at it...Refine a little. I know have a slight Pollybeak, and a hanging columella and a crease above my lip when I smile. Ugh, I know it's not deformed, but this has been the worst 6 months of my life. I knew as soon as he took off the tape, my nose looked like a parrot. It was that soon. My DR at first said it was swelling, but as weeks went by it looked worse and worse. At 5 months post op, I started going to see DRs. I read all I could on Real Self. I saw about 5 Drs, all revision specialists, all agreed on what needed to be fixed, but one said I needed rib graft...the others said remaining septum or ear cartilage. The DR that said I needed rib graft, also said I needed to wait a year. The other 4 all said - my revision could be done much sooner. I know there are different thoughts on this, some say 6mos some say 9mos some say a year, some even longer. I chose Dr. Jason Hamilton. I loved his before and afters, but right away I LOVED him. He was so informing, and kind. I'm nervous, I trust Dr. Hamilton...but still sick to my stomach that I have to do this again. I have read so many awful stories on here, but at the same time this site has brought me comfort. I'm praying for a great outcome. I'll update as it goes...????

Nasal tubes

Hi y'all I've had the nasal tubes in for about 3 days.. And one side is oozing.. Not very much. But it makes me feel like I have to sniff it... Should I be concerned ?

Got my tubes taken out today... Feeling so much better, I can breathe again. Got to see the results kind of.. It's amazing u can barely even see the stitches. Don't want to get my hopes up.. But I'm really liking the results. It's less swelling than I had imagined. Today I feel 100 percent better.. Not going to lie first 2 days was hell. Burning, pressure, dry mouth from clogged nose, no appetite.. But feeling like it was worth it. Get my splint off Monday! Update soon..

I can't tell because it's so bandaged up. I get the splint off Tuesday and will start to post pictures then. Unfortunately I had a terrible reaction to the antibiotics so I have a hard time looking in the mirror right now. :( You look fantastic by the way!
