The first septorhino and turbinate operation left me with fractures in my bone and a hump and collapsing nose, I did it to improve my breathing passages nothing cosmetic as I was happy with my nose. Iv now had the second operation and I regret it my nose looks HUGE and I don't like it anymore I miss my old nose it really changes the face! My nose is huge apparently I look completely different, my nose is upturned, I look like a pig, my nose comes out longer and the tip is huge not petite anymore, I have a circular indent on my tip, upon going to an emergency review they wouldn't tell me anything about my concern they kept saying wait till the review which is on April 15th. I can't leave my house, I'm extemly self conscious. My skin has broken out EXCESSIVLEY iv never had acne before now it's ALL over my face Iv couted more than 60 spots -_- and they have been here for 3 weeks now. My nose is horrible what do I do?????!

Weird smell
I went to an emergency review last week because I got a weird circular indent and bumps and the nose seemed to be bending. I was given antibiotics as he said there could be a minor injection and said he couldn't say anything till my two month follow up in April. Today I have had an awful BAD BAD smell I know it's sign of injection??? What do I do??

This is going to be horrible for at least another two months. I know it's scary. Your valves and membranes have changed. And if he did open rhino, you have a piggy tip.
PLEASE DON'T WORRY.
Let me ask--what did he do to your bones? Did he take away scar tissue? Rotate anything? Add grafts? Any bones altered?
Altering bones is going to make the nose look wide for a while. It's swelling. With time the nose will contract.
You probably have a lot of crusts in your nose that need to be cleaned out.
You are not going to feel, smell, or breath normally for another month at least.

He did do open rhino, will the piggy tip subside over a period of time or will it stay looking piggy?
In terms of the bone I know he broke the bone from what I was told, he didn't add any graft, the septum was altered to be straight again. From what I was told I had fractures in my nasal bone that was 'fixed' not sure how.
It is definitely a worry I really feel it is getting bigger daily rather than smaller.
Is it normal that the side profile looks works than when the cast was first taken off, when I stream my fingers around my nose up and down, it feels like it's going sideways and it does not feel straight..
I honestly appreciate your time replying to my crazy concerns!

When will I be "restaurant ready"?
It's nearly exactly 4 weeks, I am yet still far from socially acceptable. I have not gone back to work, I refuse to leave my house even for a meal with friends. When will I look "normal", I understand it takes months to a year for swelling to subside, I didn't know I would look like this prior to my operation till the day the cast was off and even then the surgeon didn't warn me of the after math of the surgery. I want to be able to look normal enough to leave my house, Iv seen many people post op 2 weeks with normal faces! Is it just me???

To me it looks like you are just swollen. But if I didn't know you had rhinoplasty, I would never guess. It does not look upturned. You are beautiful. Go out and have dinner with your friends. The pimples you are describing might just be from stress. You need to go out and get some fresh air. And if it makes you feel more comfortable, you can google ways to contour your nose to look thinner with makeup. But honestly you don't need it. Get out of the house and I gaurentee you will feel a lot better.

Thank you so much! I tried the make up thing I posted up photos I still feel like crap, one day it's less swollen the next is worse. I used to look nice naturally now I look bad with or without make up! I don't feel better :(

I honestly think you are over reacting! You are very beautiful! How old were you before your surgery the only difference is your age you look a little bit more mature after surgery but still very beautiful, and no makeup you are a very pretty middle eastern girl !!!!

I had my first Rhinoplasty done from England soon as I reside there. That was the biggest mistake of my life!! If you want to go for a revision your best going to the USA, as doctors perform 100's of rhinoplasty's each month.

I probably should of, but I only did the second operation because the first surgeon messed up, he was only meant to help my breath so nothing cosmetic then left me with a bump and fractures. Thinking to take it legal

Thank you for sharing! I'm sorry you are distressed. You look pretty swollen still for what it's worth. Here's what some doctors say about swelling after rhinoplasty.
I know it's hard, but try not to focus on your nose too much right now. You by no means look bad.
If you are taking plently of selfies...(which you look perfectly fine in)...you can't be feeling too bad about yourself.
I have had 2 botched nose jobs and refuse to take pictures period because I'm unhappy. People that take tons of selfies are usually happy with their appearance. Sorry, wish I could sympathize with you.
