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

My 1 year & 2 months on...

I still keep thinking about a revision as I do think the overall nose is bigger than I wanted. But I'm also very worried about it going horribly wrong like a lot of revisions do. So for that reason I may stick with my nose. I am gutted to have spend almost 5000 on it and it still not been what I expected, but it is better than the nose I originally had!

Also for those asking, my surgeon was Prof Simon Kay
Well I think you look great and you definatly have an improvement and I don't think it looks big at all. You've made the right choice by not risking a revision. Can you imagine if you did and it went wrong. Xx
Yeah that's my worry. As I don't feel the nose I have now is awful. So I would be gutted to have it redone and it be ruined! Just wish it was smaller than what it was but maybe that's just me seeing it differently to everyone else. Thank you! X
I think your nose is perfect for your face,. beautiful
I think you have a brilliant result. Your nose looks lovely xx
I think you have the most amazing result! Your subtle result is exactly what I wanted for my nose. You're very lucky!x

Still considering reconstruction rhinoplasty and wonder if there is a major chance of it going wrong??

So after having my op back in Jan, I've not been thrilled with my result. I've been back to see my surgeon & he has offered to redo my nose, however he has said there is more risk 2nd time round and is trying to put me off having it done. Could this be done easily? Or will it all end horribly wrong. As I want a nose I'm happy with. I've uploaded my most recent pics.

I think you have very beautiful and natural results!
Do not touch your nose , it's perfect for your face. Of course you're taking a big risk. You don't want something to happen and look back at these photos and wonder why you felt like you had a bad nose. Your nose is beautiful, no flaws .
Thank you xx
Your nose looks really great and definatly much better than before. Revision surgery is a very big risk and you will probably regret it. Just look at how many have had it done and it's still not what they want. You look really great now xx
Thank you x
Your welcome xx I've had an open rhinoplasty 29 days ago and compared to many results seen on here mine is still not what you call small but it's a major improvement to what I started with and if anymore would have been taken off it would have prob collapsed. It all depends on how your other features relate to your nose and yours is perfect. Mine is still swollen at the tip due to major tip work but if it doesn't go smaller I'm just grateful I got a vast improvement and nothing bad happened like some I've seen. Xxxx
There's risk in every cosmetic procedure. Whether primary, secondary, breast implants, tummy tuck, etc. My list can go on. From my experience I had a little rocky road but mainly it was my perception of my rhinoplasty outcome. In honesty I could of lived and been ok with my primary rhinoplasty but I wasn't so I had a revision. It took awhile for things to look how I wanted them but I made it to that point. My nose works well with my features and I'm content. It's up to you what to do what you think may make you happy. I think your nose is nice and you are pretty. Take time to think of your decision. If you decide on a revision make sure you and your surgeon are on the same page. Rhinoplasty is tricky. Some are content and everything goes right for them the first time around. I wasn't that person but like I said I made it to the point where I can look at myself in the mirror and feel prettier and more confident. Good luck in whatever you decide.
Thank you xx
Thank you. If I knew I could go ahead and it look fine afterwards I would consider revision. But I'm just scared incase I end up with something worse than before I started as I've heard having your nose done 2nd time round can go wrong x
True, good luck to you x
Don't understand why you're even considering another op! Your nose wasn't that bad before, but aesthetically wise it's much better now and I say this as a man. You don't need to do anything. Leave your nose alone and get on and enjoy your life!

15 weeks post op.

So I'm 15 weeks post op. And I have decided I still want my nose smaller. I'm aware after this long it won't change much more now.
So feel quite dissapointed that the surgeon hasn't taken off as much as I wanted. If I was to go back and want my nose redoing would I have to pay for this? As he hasn't done as I've asked so I'm hoping it will be corrected free of charge??

Communication, and knowing what you want ,that was my error, take some time to really think about your results and can you live with it. *Best Wishes*
You have a beautiful nose right now. It was done perfectly in my opinion . So natural and perfect for your face
No idea how long ago his post was made or whether you decided to get a second rhinoplasty done, but in these pictures it looks much better than in the previous ones and I don't see any reason to mess with it. Doesn't look big, looks good!
Thank you xx
