For years I have been insecure about my nose, and wanted to have a rhinoplasty to fix it. I did my research for several years and ended up finding a surgeon whom I thought would be a good fit for what I wanted done. I thought everything would go great especially with him being a rhinoplasty specialist, and The thought of a revision never crossed my mind until now. My nose was by no means awful but slightly too large for my face. It was wide and had a slight bump on the bridge as well as a slightly bulbous tip.

I'm now 9 months post op and I'm devastated about my results thus far. I now have a bridge that's too wide, an asymmetrical tip,a nostril that is difficult to breathe out of and, a scooped out profile.I feel that this decision has ruined my life. I now struggle with anxiety and depression. If I would have known this before hand, I would have never ever done this. Please don't take what god gave you for granted! Because a bad result is very devasting.

Hi there, I'm very sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. You had surgery around the same time I did. Would you be willing to share the name of your doctor and perhaps some before after photos so we can have a better idea of what you're talking about? I know of a good Rhinoplasty Specialist in your area, which is most likely the same doctor. I was considering him for my revision. I understand that there is not going to be one doctor with 100% patient satisfactory and that there is always going to be some risk but the thought of another failed surgery is too much. I also regret my surgery and miss the way I used to look. My new nose is a mess and is just not me. I do hope it continues to change and get better for you over time. Thank you for sharing.

I'd love it if you'd post photos so we can visualize what you're describing.

I really hate posting a negative review because he was so nice and genuine. His name is Dr. Cochran.. I'm just really sad and disappointed.

I completely understand. I appreciate your honesty. I'm in the same boat...I should not have done this because I never hated my nose...I thought I would have a small change done and ended up looking like someone else. Now that I look at all my old pictures I wish that I could look like that again. Funny how we don't appreciate what we have until it is gone.

You do have one of the best surgeons. Have you spoke to him about a revision? I have met two ladies on here that had their revisions done by him and they are thrilled. I am hoping to have a consultation with him soon. I read so many good reviews about him. Hope you feel better soon and keep us posted. Take care.

It's very nice to know I'm not alone out there. At this point I'm very scared about going back to him to revise it. I don't want to make this issue worse... I'm so puzzled as to why I am the fluke in this case because I can't find a negative review about him. Should I go back to have him revise it? Or do you believe I should look else where? I've never been so low about something in my life and, like you, looking at old pictures right now is very difficult for me. I just want to have a day where I don't have to think about my stupid nose. I'll post pictures soon.
