I wanted a rhinoplasty all my life to correct a nose that I felt was too big. I looked at Faces First and thought Dr. Cote would be a good and experienced doctor based on his work. At my consult I explained what my wishes were and brought in many examples of noses I wished to resemble. Dr. kept trying to talk me out of my dream nose and instead kept telling me to go with something more natural that would fit my face. I was adamant about what I wanted and still believe it would fit my face, but ended up getting a nose that was still HUGE, I am so disappointed. The nose I have is a better shape. yes, but still way too big for my face and even more so now that I've lost weight. I'll now be seeking another doctor to do a revision and pray that they will listen to my wants instead of just doing what they want.

Sorry to hear that your rhinoplasty did not go as you requested. Perhaps your nose looks huge to you because of swelling? Do you have any before/after pictures that you can crop to just show your nose? My plastic surgeon warned me that the cute little button nose i wanted was not going to happen in one shot, the celebrity photos i brought in, he told me was a result of surgeries and its usually a gradual process to get to that point, but then again my nose stated off huge IMO. The first week after my rhinoplasty i felt he had somehow made my nose bigger but now being 2 weeks in, i see that it is swelling causing it to look that way.

I am sorry about your experience. When you are ready you should contact Dr. Weber. He really listened to my concerns and has a really sharp eye, and he seems to be a perfectionist. Good luck to you.

I had a very similar experience... he looks great on paper and he is very charming in consultation but really does not possess the skills necessary to give people to the results they want. Since he did my rhinoplasty I have been very depressed with how it has made me look. I was much prettier before I let him operate on me. I am sorry you got swindled too!

Could you post before and after photos? You're still probably really swollen, but visuals help. It seems the current trend is a 'natural' nose, and when I look at the b/a photos for most rhinoplasties I either no difference, or a small, kinda, sorta change to the kinda, sorta better. Maybe it's takes alot of revisions and completely restructuring your nose to get to a differently shaped cute nose; maybe for regular people you can't get any nose you want (that will last) without revision stamina and a big checking acct. Through Real Self I'm starting to see plastic surgery can only accomplish so much.
