Worried my Nose Still Looks 'Big' After Having Rhinoplasty?! Great Britain, GB

Is your after photo you posted right after cast removal? How did it look when the cast came off? Everyone seems to feel like swelling slowly increases after cast removal. However, there is a chance your surgeon was more conservative and did not go as small as you asked. I have days where I love it and then days where it still looks big....I took the liberty to start taping at night to keep the shape more even just based on reviews from this website. For me, it has helped but we are all different.

I feel what your saying. My nose looks the same. I had my surgery done January 7th. It still looks wide and my nostrils make my nose look wide too. Profile looks my old profile it actually looks shorter but too short. So up and down about my nose:/ I can see a nice difference on your nose. But maybe we both expect changes to early. Hopefully we are just swollen and our nose will be fabulous in 3 months. Fingers crossed:)

Your nose isn't as small as a "barbie" nose that some plastic surgeons might give (like what I've seen from Dr. G.). BUT, I don't know if that's what you necessarily want. Looking at your before and afters, your new nose compliments your face SO well. It looks much more feminine and soft. I love the left side of your nose especially :).

Your nose looks fab, really fits well! Youve got to give yoursekf at least 3 minths fir everything to settle down. You look great!

your nose looks absolutely perfect for your face, much better then before, even if the swelling has not gone fully down.

Your new nose is a vast improvement to your old nose and it will continue to shrink over the next 12 months. You're only 1 month out so it is way too early to tell. I just had my 6 month check-up 1 week ago and my PS says it will continue to "shrink-wrap" over the next 12 months.

I think you look great! There is a marked improvement from your "before" profile and as others have said it is still early days.

I like the result and would like to know your surgeon name. would luv to have such a nose.

I don't think it looks big at all. Looks like it fits your face to me

I think your nose looks so in proportion now and really compliments your face. How ive always seen it is that the surgeon cant produce a tiny looking button nose from a nose that is quite different from that to start off with. I was never going to have a teeny nose after surgery as they can only work with what you already have. Did he go through the proposed result with you before? Honestly it looks beautiful but it will take a good 6 months for it to start to settle. Im at the 6 month mark now and my tip is starting to soften up a bit but its still got a good bit of swelling. Im expecting it will take about a year for my tip to reduce down to the end size. You look great trust me :-) x

Hey, I'm 7 weeks post op and my nose still looks big and tip is uneven! But I'm him going to wait 6 months and if it's still big then, I'll start to worry.. I honestly think that your nose looks in proportion with your face but you still have some swelling in the tip area, which is likely to subside.

I am guessing you're on real self for honest opinions, so if I give mine, personally I would be disappointed if it was my nose. After all you went through surgery for a smaller nose right? If that was what you and your surgeon discussed before surgery, then you definitely have a reason to be frustrated.I feel like it would look better if it was smaller. I am only telling you because I feel that what you are saying is true. You still look beautiful, but I understand where you are coming from. However, no matter what they will tell you to wait 1 year before even discussing a revision. Best thing to do it wait and you may see improvements who knows?

I think it looks in great proportion, when I had mine done I feel my surgeon took too much away on the bridge so now I can see and indent but my tip is too big and crooked. I would leave it as it is as it looks lovely and perfect not a ski slope :)
