I couldn't find anywhere to post this and it's not my review yet. So far Ive been to 5 different consultations and I've picked my Dr. He was very personable, had all the accredations I was looking for and really seemed like he understands my goals of a natural subtle looking rhinoplasty. The date is set for the end of April.

5 weeks post op

I'm just giving my update so far...the surgery felt like it went so quick, I had some pain in my collumella when I woke up and they have me a painkiller for the drive home but that was the only pain medicine I had for the entire recovery. It was so weird to not have any pain when I knew my bones had been broken. I just had pressure like a sinus infection. When I got home, myDr. Had sent flowers to my house and called to check up later that evening. My nose would bleed a tiny bit the first couple days then just completely stopped. Ihad my cast off after 5 days. It has Definately been an emotional experience. I still don't feel like I recognize myself in the mirror and that's been tough. I went back to work after 2 1/2 weeks and everyone kept asking me if I had a nose job! My tip was droopy and it was lifted during surgery so that's what gave it away I think. I have to go back in to have a procedure to lift my nostrils as I have hanging nostrils and it's really throwing off the collumella/ nostril relationship. I'm hoping the tip will drop more and the uneven swelling goes away soon. It's really bugging me that everyone keeps asking me if I had my nose done, I really thought people wouldn't even notice

4 months post op...

So I'm 4 months post op and getting a bit discouraged. I've been trying to be patient but the issues I have seem to be getting worse as swelling goes down. One side of my nose seems to be sinking in and nose tip is pulling to the right a bit. Every time I look in the mirror I see the sunken in area and it really sucks :/ if anyone has had this happen or knows what might be happening I would really appreciate any comments or info

Who was your surgeon?

I'm going to at the 1yr mark..I'm waiting to see if he offers a revision but so far he put fillers in (which help but I don't want want to continue doing that) and he suggested goretex to fill in the collapsed side but I read that it has a high infection rate :(

He put fillers In At 4 months post op? That's not good and can cause serious damage to the nose while you're recovering . Why would he want to use gortex for revision ? No. Ask for money back and go somewhere else . I don't think this surgeon can give you that feminine nose you want that are in your wish pics . His aesthetic is off and his decisions he's made thus far for your nose are too

November 28, 2016
Your nose is heavily retracted inward . That's why it looks like your nostrils are hanging. He's overtucked you and I don't know why considering the noses you picked for wish pic are of girls who have fuller infratip lobules.

He put the fillers in at 6 months and they helped a little bit but I am not doing that again..it hurts and I don't want to do that forever. I posted a question about the goretex to the doctors on here and most said definitely don't do goretex. I'm looking into Davis in Florida and possibly Hamilton in California. I don't know if I'll get my money back but I have to try especially since there is obvious deformities

Also my columella was retracted before surgery and it was supposed to be brought down

December 29, 2016
Im so sorry babe . Yes, i would def not consider him for revision . You will need someone who specializes in this and is skilled with grafts . Goretex is really bad . Your two revision choices for surgeons are great and i would def consult with both . Davis has a long wait so i would call ASAP so you can get in by the time youre done with healing .

Sorry...looks like you already answered that question. Can you add the doctor to your review? That way potential patients researching Dr. Weber can find your review.

Hi! I'm at 11 months and my tip did the same thing recently. It completely collapsed on one side! Prior to a month or so ago, it was symmetrical. I'm frustrate too...
August 27, 2017
Mine was noticeable within a month or 2 after cast came off and just got worse when the swelling decreased. I think the only solution will be revision with spreader grafts :( have u talked to your dr about it yet?
August 28, 2017
Looking who did yours? I just looked at your profile but didn't see the name

Hopefully he will fix it! I'm going to see Manish shah this week about a possible revision. I dnt know if I'll stay in state again or if I should Travel to someone tht does more rhinoplasties per year. I hate mine too I'm more self conscious now than I was before surgery

Hi just wondering what your dr ended up saying about your issues. I had a really good consult with dr. shah
