It has been 8 years

8 years after surgery. I have to say that I am not feeling like me no more. This whole bad experience really affected me in ways that have left me scarred for life emotionally and mentally. I wish I could sue the Dr for emotional distress and trauma. My nose is more crooked than before and deformed from the tip. Fillers have been a friend of mine but to be honest I don’t feel safe using them too often. When it dissolves my tip starts looking very pinch to the point that I don’t want to face the world and have to put up with people’s reactions when they see me for the first time. It hurts and cuts deep. Picture filters are my friend.

Almost 3 years!!
Here i am 3 yrs after my horrible experience that changed my life... Its been a lesson learned, I havent had another surgery due to insufficient funds but one thing I am blessed with a new baby boy who turned 3 months today!! It hasnt been easy, it has been one of those things you have to take day by day... I am not a person obsessed with cosmetic surgeries i just hope one day i can regain the confidence i lost along the way!

Congrats on the little boy! You look beautiful in this picture! Hey my nose isn't perfect. It wasn't perfect before any surgery or after my first one. Then I had a second surgery and it still isn't perfect but at least it's an improvement. Your nose looks good. You look more like you after all this time passing. Take good care of yourself and family.

Finally a year has passed????
It has already been a year after my nightmarish septorhimoplasty. I havent mept up with my profile in a while. This is because taking pics of me kind of picks at that wound deep inside from all yhe guilt and pain...
I am happy to say thought that i found a Dr who has been trying his best to help me. He has been injecting steroids and fillers... unfortunately i will need a revision since the dents on both sides of my nose still remain but the fillers did help because the excess of cartilage taken off was startimg to stick therefore giving the dent impression. I sometimes wish i can wake up feeling and looking looking like the old me????

The fillers look nice . Please do not consider going to the same doctor for help and make sure when You do find a doctor , he's a specialist. I'm so glad you found someone who did a good job on filler . Youre going to need some sort of grafting to fix your breathing and cosmetic problem just make sure when you do , he's really great at grafts .

Hello, I am so sorry that you have had to go through this experience...reading your story really broke my heart. Like you, I am also a New Mexico gal, from ABQ and I have also had a horrible experience with my primary. I completely understand the feeling of not wanting to get out of bed in the morning. For 7 years I had to live with the guilt and embarrassment of my primary surgery. Coming from an Italian background, I was born with a HUGE Roman nose, so for me to say that I prefer my natural nose to what I was left with after my surgery sums up how awful, ugly, and insecure I felt.
It was not until June of last year that I had my revision with Dr. Spencer Cochran in Dallas, TX. Let me tell you, the results were AMAZING! For once in my life I am not constantly worried about what others around me are thinking about my nose...I finally feel like I HAVE MY LIFE BACK.
You are a beautiful girl inside and out and I really hope that one day you get the results you are hoping for. Please don't hesitate to contact me!
