Alright. The worst part of this whole thing is these pockets of clarity that I have where I relax for a second and feel okay. I made this side by side to look at when I'm freaking out internally. I get this thing if I can't check my nose every 30 minutes I imagine it this big crooked mess on my face.. Then I catch my reflection and calm down cause it's not as bad as I build it up to be. Is this absolutely insane? I'm going to include the photo, mind the mark from my glasses... my nose doesn't look too bad in that sort of lighting, you can't really see the collapsed mid vault or whatever it's called, but in front light or any sort of flash it's not cute at all... But in this lighting it's definitely cuter than my old nose. Sigh. This sucks.

Feeling like I was underdone
cassandrabookFebruary 25, 2018
So I'm one month out and I feel like my rhinoplasty was under done, in my before photos you can see the asymmetry of the tip.. Bulbous on the left and flat on the right... It's still like that now. As well as that indent on the right side half way up my bridge... It is also there. None of these issues were apparent when the cast was taken off because of swelling. I'm really disappointed but trying to just carry on living. If I need revision it won't be for a year.. Provided I can afford it when the time comes.. I work as a server so I don't often have 10,000$ laying around for plastic surgery. I'm really disheartened, especially because I was so vocal about what I was doing out of excitement... Now I'm just embarrassed . How anti climatic to wait for something your entire life and finally take the jump only to be so so let down. I have my one month post op appointment on Monday.. I'm curious if he's going to brush off my concerns like he did at my 2 week appointment. Everyone says give it time but I doubt my concerns are ones that are resolvable "over time" :( ugh I am so sad about this. I just wanted to have it done and live my life with my new nose

That is exactly how I felt when I had my first rhinoplasty.I stupidly waited 20 year before getting it put right by Lucian Ion.Hopefully you will get yours sorted as soon as you can.Dont make my mistake if you arent happy sort it.Feel annoyed for you x

I hear all kinds of wonderful things about ion but unfortunately he's in England and I'm in Canada... It would be years before I could afford an over seas trip :( and I'm getting married, just really disappointed to be so let down... I will fix it eventually, just wish it only had to be done once. It's definitely not something I want to obsess over anymore and it's only been a month

13 days post
13 days post op
cassandrabookFebruary 8, 2018
Soo 13 days post op... Will include a photo... I'm still struggling. Some days it looks ok.. Some days the tip looks so ridiculous and swollen... But again early on in the process. The left side of the tip is a lot more swollen than the right side ... Hoping its swelling anyways. I imagine as the numbness subsides and my nose feels like it's a part of me again I'll start to feel normal... patience until then. I've always had insecurity about my crooked nose... But was never an insecure person, this surgery has amplified that insecurity about my nose and compromised any confidence I had otherwise... I don't feel like my self anymore.

I really think it looks awesome already and fits your face beautifully!! I know it’s easy to be over critical of yourself and nit pick at every little detail that no one else would ever even notice!! Your nose is only going to keep getting better girl!! Be patient and know that to everyone else it looks completely normal and beautiful!!

I understand your struggles though.. i had my cast taken off yesterday and although i think it looks so much better, its hard to see myself as different. Although a positive “different” it’s still different than what i’ve Looked at for so many years!! I think that’s normal and i’m Just gonna be patient and know that in time it will look even better and more refined.. This is the avatar stage that everyone talks about and is not what it’s gonna look like forever:)
