First Time Rhinoplasty Patient, Not Sure if I Like the Results So Far. Beverly Hills, CA
ORIGINAL POST
I am 27 year old female and just got a nose job...

I am 27 year old female and just got a nose job three months back. I have always been unhappy with my side profile; however loved how my nose looked from the front. My side profile was long, droopy and had a large bump. I had my consultation with a very famous surgeon in Beverly Hills in 2013. It took me two years to decide if I really want to go ahead and mess with my nose. I finally decided to go ahead with the surgery. My surgeon is know for making very subtle and natural changes. I liked my old nose, just wanted to get refined and softer version of it. I am posting some pics for you guys to compare the results. At this early stage of my healing, I am not sure how to feel about my nose. Just hoping and praying that once all the swelling settles, it will turn out natural and normal.

Worried sick about my nose
exclusive12September 21, 2015
I am almost four months post op and my nose has thinned out a lot. More than I would like. And still has no definition. Just hoping and praying that I didn't waste a lot of money to screw up my face. Sorry I don't have any picture to post as I am scared to see myself on the mirror or take pictures. This will just put me in more depression. Did someone else go this phase as well?

Don't feel down. Was going to ask, if u had a open rhinoplasty! If you did! Ur still healing. If your tip is hard then your still swollen! Give it time. This is the hard part of the post surgery. Just be patient. A rhino plast can take up to a year or a little more to be 100 percent healed. Your profile looks great. Your nose looks good and there isn't anything wrong with it. Just wait longer cause your nose will look different when fully healed.

I had a closed rhinoplasty. Ever since my surgery I have lost the peace of my mind. Most of my days are spent crying. I wish I wasn't so insecure and never had gotten the surgery done :( my life just hasn't been the same.

Most of my seeking has gone down. Tip is still healing. My family tells me that my nose looks great but for some reason I just can't feel the same.

Ur gonna see different from what other people see because your not use to it. And remember the nose will look different when the swelling goes down. You have to get used to it. But your nose looks great! Just remember that it looks better than the way it was before. It's just ur not used to it. Just let it heal and be patient. If you can, start eating pineapples. It makes a big difference.

I'm actually. Going through a depression kind of mode and a little frustration. I had a rhinoplasty over 2 months ago. It will almost be 3 months. I had a open rhinoplasty. I'm going through the same. A lot of my friends say that my nose goes with my face and that there isn't anything wrong with my nose. My nose is still swollen at the tip. I do have thick skin so it will be awhile for me to be healed. When I look in the mirror I feel the same. The nose is the first thing I look at. I don't wanna take pictures or anything because I'm not confident. But now I can't turn back, and now I have to go through the healing process and be patient about it. Even thou sometimes I wish my nose could look like the way I want it to be over night. But your not alone. Your just going to have to be patient and let it take its course!

Its almost about four months. The doctor lifted the droopy tip and reduced the dorsal bump. I didn't know the mental strength it takes to accept your new nose. Thank you so much for your support. I appreciate it :)

I hope you are staying strong as well. I am here anytime you want to talk about it :) keep me updated on your progress and I hope your nose turns out perfect!!

Your nose looks great, he did a great job. I think you should stop obsessing over it and go out and live life. Any person on here can obsess over their nose and it will make them upset. Use your mind for other things.
September 28, 2015
Yes, I understand. More than obsession, I think I have the guilt of being so vain. Don't know why I never thought of this before. I was so insecure that I let someone break my nose. i just focused on how great my nose will look but forgot all about the emotional toll it can take on you.

Starting to accept my new look and liking my nose

So it's been a while since I last posted. It's because I wanted to give myself time to heal and get used to the new nose and not freak out every time it changed. I have hit 7 month mArk and wow can't believe my nose changed every month even when I thought all the swelling was gone. Can't wait to hit the one year mark and be finally done with the recovery lol. How are other people who got surgery done this year feeling and recovering? I would love to hear from you guys.

Hope you're doing well Hun, you look gorgeous. I'm coming up to the 4month mark in a week! Still thinking of revision with fillers, it's small and I want the tip more down and a higher bridge :(
December 29, 2015
Congrats on hitting your 7th month! I'm at month 3, but honestly I feel like I haven't seen much change between now and 3-weeks post or so. I guess everyone heals differently. Mine seems to have healed faster than usual but it feels a little sensitive still if I accidentally bump it on anything. I hope you're liking your new nose better.
