I think he probably took to much out. Im currently only on post op day 24. Im just so scared to see how Im going to look in 3 more months. Thats when they say results really show.

Oh no I really hope it changes for the better! I don't know if it's the picture but I didn't think you looked terrible at all In my opinion it takes time to get used to the new look Does anyone who see you in person told you you didn't look good after the surgery?

I think u look great! Not sure who is in the first picture with you (ur child or little sister) but your face now looks like hers IMO; you still look young just with a more define face….I’m sorry u hate it but I want ur exact result….do you mine telling me who ur doctor was?

I don't think you look bad at all - you have a pretty face! I bet you it's the shock of your new face shape. After I had my revision rhino done it sent me into a deep depression, anxious, had I to go on meds - it was a super hard adjustment for me. Even though my nose looked better I couldn't get used to it on my face. And then I would obsess looking in the mirror and staring at it made it worse. Plastic surgery is an emotional rollercoaster. I used to have to put makeup on every morning just to make myself feel like myself. I got better, but to be honest, sometimes I still think I don't look like myself but I think I suffer from BDD. Try putting some makeup on - I bet it will make you feel better!

Thank you. I had my procedure done Aug 2 and i lost so much weight bc of my depression. I went from 145 to 133. I miss my old self so much and regret it. I might need to go to doctor to get meds bc i let myself go down. My house is a mess i just want to sleep all day so i dont have to think about my mistake. I just need alot of prayer right now through this difficult time. Thank you for your kind words by the way.

Yep same thing happened to me because of my nose. Went into depression - was down to 110 pounds! It was so bad - I couldn't stop crying, wouldn't take the tape off my nose. Eventually I went to a psychiatrist who prescribed meds for me and I started talking to someone. I don't even remember the transition from feeling like that depressed to when I started feeling better but I guess the lexapro just started working. Eventually I learned to accept and like what I saw and was able to remove the tape off my nose, and put makeup on and feel pretty! Come December of last year I felt so good I thought to myself, OK I'm good, I'm going to go off the meds. Was good up until last month, then I started having the anxiety again, looking at myself, not recognizing myself, thinking I looked weird in the mirror, obsessing. I think I have a mix of OCD, BDD and anxiety so here I am just starting my lexapro again :( It is what it is though - if I need it to function correctly and enjoy life I'm going to go back on them because I can't get to that place again. I definitely think you should try talking to someone. It's hard to get past something like this on your own. Private message me if you need to talk. Been there, got over it, and now I feel like I'm going through it again a little. Look at old pictures of yourself (bad pictures) to help remind you of why you decided to get this procedure in the first place. That's what I do - I'll look at old pictures and how bad my nose looked and I literally talk to myself, like "Sarina, do you want that old crooked nose again? No, so snap out of it." It's such an emotional rollercoaster but you will get through it...but might need help. If your mood is not changing as the days go on make an appointment with someone!

I work in a plastic surgery clinic and I really do think that you look great! Remember to be patient because it can take 3-4 months to see final results!

Just sending you so much love. I have been the same. Lost weight, can't do anything but sleep because of how sad I am for my choice to have it removed. I know we will find ways to heal and feel whole again

I did something similar, I had Kybella I injected in my face and it just ate away at my face.my facial shape changed so much and like your procedure it keeps working for months. I lost a total of 20 lbs because of stress and now my face is completely different. There will be things you can do after the results are final. I've been working on it myself and it's a process but you can get back to yourself again or if you decide you can perfect the face you created. Either way, you're beautiful.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I have had a similar experience. Had several procedures that ate away and completely changed the shape of my face, fell into a deep depression. It's very hard and I'm so sorry this happened to you. Sending you so much love
