I had a nose job done may 23, 2013. I told my surgeon I didn't want to alter the shape of my Nose just make my bridge slim and the tip of my Nose smaller, and remove the bump on my bridge. He did the total opposite. I now resemble a pig, my tip is so round and raised, and my bridge is so wide, my Nose looks slanted, and my left nostril looks larger and lower then my right I really would like some advice on if this is my final nose or swelling. I'm now two weeks post op, and I hate my Nose. I'm very depressed. I can't eat, I can't sleep, and my social life has taken a turn for the worse. I refuse to go outside because I don't want people to laugh at me. Please can someone give me feed back I'm so depressed and am in need of some great advice. I'm already searching for a surgeon for a revisions. Please help :,-(

Ok so its been three weeks and one day, since I had my surgery. I have notice some change in my nose, such as the size of my bridge swelled down. And the uneven nostrils is started to even out and the tip of my nose is slowly starting to drop. But I still have major concerns regarding the size of my nose. I wanted a smaller nose, my doc told me to wait before I judge the size because I'm still in the process of swelling. I'm also concerned about the left side of my face, it seems to be much larger then the right. And when I touch it its hard and dosnt have much feeling in it, could that be swelling even though I can feel the bone? Also it seems as though my right side cave in more as though to much was done one one side then the other could this also be due to my right side has healed faster then my left side?

I think it is swelling and the bridge will thin out in the next couple months. I remember at 7 months post op I saw my bridge taking more shape, and I have very thin skin. You still look gorgeous- love your piercings btw

Your latest pic looks great, your nose swelling looks to have gone down from the previous pics by much. Swelling is the worst part of this. So hard to be patient and it does feak you out because it feels like it may look swollen forever. I feel you-I think you should give it more time. But, if you start to feel it outside of nose- maybe you should call the doctor to make sure that is just normal swelling too.

Thank you for sharing on RealSelf! I agree with the other commenters that you're still in very early days and you're probably still quite swollen. Also, when your tip points down a bit, it can be hard to adjust to it NOT pointing down anymore. You actually look really good IMHO, but you need to give yourself time to heal still. Please keep us updated!
