Tried to Fix Nose, So Far Looks Worse - Chicago, IL

Had a collapsed nose and tried to fix it, but ended up having it look worse. Fixed one problem, only to create many more. Still have 6 months left, so I'm still praying my nose settles into form, but I'm losing hope as time goes on and have suck into one of my lowest bouts of depression. It's tough to suffer in silence, so if anyone needs any help or has any questions, I'll try my best to answer.

Thanks, did you have a rhino with Dr. Shah too? Also, were your final results much better at 1 year that at 6 months?

No, not with Dr. Shah. My results were better at 6 months than at 1 year because I have a bossae tip, which wasn't as visible with swelling.

The photos won't capture how it looks in real life. As of right now, the bridge of my nose looks operated on from what seems like rasping and sculpting of my bridge. It doesn't have any of the natural curvature of a natural nose. I was promised it would look natural and I feel lied to at this point. I am hoping as my nose continues settling, that at 1 year it may look natural. I'm praying.

Go to a plastic surgeon that offers non-surgical rhinoplasty. Restalyn can be used to replace the bone file away.

I am so sorry! was this a revision surgery? or first time? What is the problem with your nose? I know how you feel. I had the worst experience and sunk into anxiety and depression from it, but know that there is hope. I had my revision and while it's not perfect, its a big improvement and I feel much more confident.
