Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

6 months after - meh
Hi all, it's been a while.
So, -still not happy about this whole unnecessary adventure. I actually kind'a miss my old nose, with all its imperfections. but, anyways, what's done is done.
I really doubt that any visible changes will come after this point. maybe only really subtle ones.
I'm planning to see the Dr. soon, to see what can be done. Not taking BS answers.
I need to gently reduce the width of the nose + reduce the bumps which makes it look uneven + check what can be done about the mess he did with the uneven nostrils.
So, we'll see how this go... I just want to get it over with.
Moral of the story:
1. Be very clear with your surgeon as to what you want and what he can deliver!!
3. Do your research!
3. If the guy is over confident (I have a feeling female surgeons are better listeners) - think twice or make it very clear that you're the one in charge of your body!!!
Peace out,
Me

1 Month Post-Op - Getting better by the week
Hi All,
I'm still swollen but noticeably less... My nose is starting to get a normal shape. less piggy and less upwards tilted.
One day I feel it's kind of huge, the other I kind of like it... ups and downs but definitely not a roller-coaster as it was at the beginning.
Nostril numbness is starting to wear-off.
Nose tip is still hard + the base of the nose (under the tip, above the upper lip) still feels hard and I'm really doing my best to avoid any contact, fills weird/hurts when pressing. I don't/can't use tissue to wipe my nose; I've packed a ton of ear picks for that. still a bit runny.
Side-view: though still swollen, looks much better than before - most importantly - a lot more natural looking.
Front view - left-right tip and nostrils are not even and I have this bump on the right side which I don't believe will dissolve. that said; as the swollenness goes down it is definitely less noticeable.
I went to a post-op checkup at the Dr's a few days ago - he said that there is still a long way to go and that reconstructive revisions like this takes time, at least 6 to 12 months to the tissues to settle.
All-in-all, I feel much better, I think I also breath better. I returned to my daily cycling sessions - soon getting back to the gym, we'll see how that will go ;) [hopefully nothing pops whilst lifting ;)]
Long way to go but it was important for me to share.
I'll keep posting as I go - your support is much appreciated pplz!
I'll post a picture next time ;)

Almost 3 weeks post-op - Tip looks bulbous and crooked + uneven nostrils = tip looks so prominent
Almost 3 weeks post-op:
My nose tip looks bulbous and crooked + uneven nostrils = tip looks so prominent :(
I didn't have a wide tip before and I feel like this revision was a mistake that made my nose/face so weird.
I didn't ask for a tip winding so why the hell surgeons just do what they want?!! (added graft at one side, the other side is hard as well so I guess he did something there as well, which is the complete opposite of what I wanted.
The way it is after 3 weeks, I'm not looking for subtle changes - I need 15-30% reduction!!
what can I expect in 2-3 months in terms of being swollen?
I keep asking close people about how it looks, requesting them to be honest - everybody mentions front view to be weird and crooked and that it wasn't like that before (due to wide tip, tip bulges and uneven nostrils)
what can be done??! if I'd need yet another (hate to think about it) revision - would it be a difficult procedure or easier that this one?
I have added recent pictures
Please reply with inputs!
Thanks!!
