IDK. Do you think he tried to 'balance' the nose with your lips?

I can see why you are unhappy. Maybe because it’s a revision it might take longer to heal.

I am so sorry you are going through this. At 11 months, I think you are correct that you are seeing close to your final result. What surprises me is that the pollybeak/inverted V issue you had before is less noticeable, but there is still a slight break between where your nasal bones stop and your mid-valve begins, so even that correction was not well done. Have you had your 1 year follow-up yet? I think you really need to be firm with him about your dissatisfaction. If he cannot fix it himself, he should at least refund you a large portion of what you paid. You do not like it cosmetically nor are breathing well. That means he did not perform on either front. Don't give up! It CAN be fixed, but you should not have to pay it all out of pocket. Work on getting some of your money back so that in another 6 months to a year, you can get your final revision.

@Htown at 11 months after revision she is still too early in terms of width of her nose. I was a primary patient and my nose was still swollen at 18 months and I have thin skin. It looks like she has thick skin. Her nose will definitely get much slimmer with time but she has functional issues as well so she may need a new revision after all.

Oh, I certainly can appreciate the fact that healing from rhinoplasty is a loooooong journey and subtle changes continue to be realized beyond the first year (e.g. supratip break; tip refinement; shadow around the nostril). But to be completely frank, I have done a TON of research into rhinoplasty surgeries, particularly those where the objective is to narrow a wide nose no the frontal view (the issue I got addressed recently), and I have yet to hear from any patient or surgeon who says that *major* changes occur after the first year. Patience is key, sure, but I don't believe that "just wait" or "its just swelling" or "give it more time" is appropriate at nearly a year out and some docs use that as a way to stall an unhappy patient. 11-12 months post op, barring any major setback (e.g. infection or graft shifting) is a reasonable time to at least start discussing remedies, imho. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand your point and respect your experience, but I also want to be supportive around her experience.

From not attractive nose to UGLY

I’m really upset. From nose with pollar beak deformity he made even worse nose. Wide, big, no definition. Breathing didn’t improve. 90% swelling are gone. It’s not going to change much. Don’t go to this doctor. He will be not able to fix his work, he won’t hear what you’re saying he will keep telling you your nose look good /or you need to wait 3 years!
I can tell after post op 11 month(well, almost 11 month) your nose not going to change much.
He charged me 13500$ for the breathing improvement and making my nose slim and feminine. Nothing of that was performed. He just putted the biggest spreader graft and made my nose really ugly.
Don’t go to the doctor please who doesn’t examine your nose properly and spending on the consultation 10 mins maximum with you, like dr.G.

More photos of my ugly wide asymmetric nose

Ignore this profile pics what I posted immediately after surgery. Its wrong to review your nose shortly after the surgery. Since then my nose changed a lot. My tip dropped a lot so my profile doesn’t look like that anymore. Front of my nose even worse. Look how asymmetric it is.
Also attaching photo before my revision with dr.G. Yes, I had a pollar beak deformity what was noticeable for some angels. But in general this dose didn’t made my face ugly like nose what I got from dr.G.
All what I paid 13.500$ and we discussed on a rushed 10 mins consultation was didn’t performed. Tip is not lifted , nose got even wider, breathing didn’t improve. I don’t have pollar beak deformity anymore but in general my nose looks much worse now, breathing got worse also.

Did You find someone to help in the future? I know after revision it's better to wait TWO years as hard as it is. I get it its heartbreaking, but PLEASE don't give up. You still CAN have your LEAST successful revision to improve the nose. It is very possible, You have great advantages: you are young and you have septum. A lot can be done in talented in skillful hands of expirienved and passionate surgeon. I have 1 in mind for you. He is very very good Message me. Best wishes, hang in there. Everything will be horosho :)
