Update - follow up appointment + flight

$1,000
I went for my follow up appointment with my surgeon and asked him a bunch of questions. He said that the swelling was still present but most importantly he assured me that although there was a hump still present on my nose, that it would go down as the skin still hasn't shrunk back down. I hope he is right but so far hump is still there. He told me that if the results aren't what were expected, then he will do a revision for me.
I had my flight and after my flight, my nose was pretty swollen. I applied some cream on it so hopefully the swelling settles down.

Well no one sees any difference..

Well this is pretty embarrassing. All of my family that knew I wanted to do it realized I was pretty stubborn about getting my septo-rhinoplasty done. After getting the bandages removed, it sucks that I come out looking the exact same. My grandmother saw me 12 days post-op and told me my nose was still somewhat crooked along with the dorsal hump still present..
I think my nose is starting to get crooked again (from the deviated septum returning to it's original positioning).
I think my nostrils are not really even anymore whereas post surgery they kind of were. Can this be from sneezing + yawning (which really expands my nostrils) and caused the deviated septum to return to its original position ?
I'll update with pics later tonight

Slight change in hump (very small change) and a question
in12345August 13, 2014
So there is this very little change in my dorsal hump. It's barely noticeable unless you compare before/after pictures.
I was also wondering, if my dorsal hump was to be removed 100% so that my nose would be completely straight (which it should have been), would the surgeon have to also remove skin because I'm assuming that with less bone there, it would make my nose appear very thick if extra skin was not removed. I'm hoping maybe someone can clarify this

If your request was to correct the dorsal hump and straighten out the nose ,this does not seem to be have been addressed,though it is too early to comment.Good Luck

Yea he didn't remove your hump and you paid him to! Tell him he will need to correct it and don't give up. You're good looking still but don't let him get away with makingbu go through all the trouble n still have a hump. Good luck.

Thank You! I definitely will talk to him about doing a revision. I'm just happy I don't have a botched up nose!!

Thank you for sharing your experience on RealSelf! It looks like you get getting some good feedback from others who've gotten rhinoplasty here. I hope you're able to get this straightened out before you head back to America.

What did you expect with that price ?!
I have undergone rhinoplasty in India for only three times that price, which is still very cheap compared to the States, Australia or Europe and I had an excellent result with a very good surgeon who has studied and practiced in America and Europe. These interventions are very delicate and need to do a lot of research about the structure and surgeons who will put their hands on you.. you know there's half your appearance, then serenity and self-confidence in your future.. Best of luck !!

I researched into him and most of his clients are foreigners and he had practiced I believe in America. Everything that I read made him seem pretty credible, it's just unfortunate that I didn't get what I was expecting. Definitely going to talk to him to do a revision but I'm still not sure whether to go back to him or find a new surgeon.
Glad to hear your experience went well!

Your nose is all right.. but if you wanna a revision anyway just let me suggest to talk to him carefully (because I see that your intervention was in a rush so probably he did not get what you wanted.. and before/after pics are very important!).. it looks very strange 'cos fixing the dorsal hamp is pretty simple, I mean in rhynoplasty there are by far more complicated operations.

If I were you I wouldn't go back to him. The hump removal op is supposed to be a routine procedure and if he didn't get it right the first time, I wouldn't trust him the second time around. I would see other surgeons' opinions. Since you mentioned you are coming to the U.S. I would consult a couple of surgeons even though you can't undergo another surgery until at least a year later. Good luck.

The prices depends on the prevailing rates in a particular country.That is no justfication for not doing a proper job.This seems to be a straight forward case and any well qualified surgeon would do it
