I was waiting penitently for 3 years until my swelling goes down completely and I'm disappointed.
I still have a small bump and is not what Dr De Silva promised. This foto is from the lefts side and it's not the worst, form the right side nose looks longer plus the bump(I will add more photo soon)

Do I regret the surgery? No way!! My nose looks much better than before but for that kind of money, everyone will expect a much better result, because no way I will do another surgery. The healing process is painful and takes a very long time.

It's definitely not swelling. This part of the nose is hard so probably Dr fail to remove the bump properly :(

It looks as if the tip lost support which sometimes can reveal a bump on the bridge. Hm. I love his work because he doesn’t over resect the nose and make them short on the bottom in the columella area.. but yes something is not right here. What did he say to you?? I’m sure he would be willing to fix it??

It, not a dentist appointment. It very invasive surgery. I pay £6558 for this surgery, for that money everyone will expect promised results. I will not be doing another surgery, definitely not with this doctor!!!!

Just a quick update. I had visit with Dr De Silva on 11 may. He told me that I have more swelling than average and I agree (you will not see this on photos)for that reason I had another steroid injection. The tip of my nose is still very hard and very sensitive on cold, if temperature is below 15 C my nose will freeze and it quite painful. My nose was always very sensitive on cold but now with the swelling it is more perceptible. I try to avoid salt and drink lots of fluids but it seems my body is healing in they own way. Im so happy that I did this surgery. Im finally free from this maniacal thoughts that everyone is judging my nose. To this day I don't understand where this come from because I never judge people base on they looks. That thought use to stop me from being social I just want to be at home all the time. So happy to finally go to the gym or to restaurant and don't think of my nose, this is THE BEST FEELING EVER!!!! That's all for now :)

It is now 9 months since your operation, and I would love to hear how you are feeling about your new nose the whole procedure now...i.e., whether you are still happy or have had any problems or issues since you last posted on your review. Your nose looks an absolutely beautiful transformation, and I am looking for the best surgeon for rhinoplasty revision on a botched up primary.

Is the tip hard and uncomfortable or is it flexible?
