Rhinoplasty Dorsal Hump Removal - Melbourne, Australia

It has now been 7 months since my rhinoplasty. My nose is getting smaller everyday. It is true, when they say, that it can take 12 months to see the final result. I was worried that one side was going to sink and may cause a depression however it now looks even to the other side. I am very happy with my result now. It just shows, be patient! I am concerned, however that I still cannot breathe properly out of one nostril unless I put it out towards my ear. Also, my nose has a constant sniffle, that gets worse when it is cold.I accidently hit my nose with a netball, it hurt like crazy and I was so worried that it would 'sink' or create asymmetry but it hasnt seemed to change. I think your nose does go back to being quite strong, luckily! It's hard to believe that I even had a rhinoplasty now, because it feels like another life. My cousin is thinking about getting one and I couldn't recommend it more. Do it.

Right now I am not very happy with my nose. I am trying to be patient but it is difficult because once I get happy with my nose, it will swell up and look big again. It feels like my nose is actually get bigger. I dont know if that is because the swelling is going up because or what, but I am not too happy.

Also, as I mentioned there is a bump on one side,the opposing side to where the bump is, my nose looks like it has a dent, therefore leading to assymetric look.

I am having breathing issues, especially at night. I think I may have a collasped valve in one nostril because if I pull my nostril towards my ear I can breathe. At night I cannot lay on my right side because its like my nostril closes and I cant get any air through it.

Right now I am wishing I had of asked my ps what his revision policy is. I think I just didnt want to think about it at the time, because it would jinx it and I wanted to think the best.

I am wondering how I spent 6000- when I dont like my profile (bump) I dont like my front (bigger and bulbous) and I cant breathe!

Its now four weeks since my surgery. I am pretty much back to normal. I can exercise and my nose doesnt hurt at all. I can breathe through my nose however there is a slight whistle. I need to reguarly clean my nose and am using salt spray. I am concerned about the bump on my nose on one side there is a bump on the bridge of my nose. As time goes on and the swelling is going down it is becoming more prominent. I am not sure if it is because I have a mole right on the bump that makes it more noticeable but just worried its going to get bigger. I love my side profile from the right but not so from the left. How can there be such a big difference betwene the two.
