I had a rhinoplasty a little over a week ago. I had the cast removed yesterday and I'm really struggling. Every time I look in the mirror I'm filled with deep remorse. I look like a different person. I'm super anxious and so, so unhappy with my appearance. I looked fine before and I wish I could go back in time to undo this mess. I wanted a slight bump removed and some excess cartilage evened out. Now I feel like my nose is super sharp and rigid. The tip is much smaller and pointed than I wanted. I don't know what to do to get over this. I feel like I need something to get me through the next month or so. I'm struggling!

Rhinoplasty Gone Bad?
fitmom06August 17, 2017
It's been 10 days. I hate my nose. I still can't breathe properly. My nose looks so thin and the tip is super pointy. My nostrils are uneven and my nose tilts to the left. I'm so upset I did this at this point. I just hope I'm overreacting and that I'll get used to it. My left profile is also more severe. What do you think?

Your new nose is beautiful. And honestly a huge improvement from your previous. Regardless you are gorgeous. Give it time to get used to your new look and I think you'll eventually see what we see.

I think your nose looks good, a lot smoother and blends in with your face more. I also don't think it looks like a hanging columella from the side pics that you posted. I do see the unevenness in the nostrils but from what I've read, nostril asymmetry is mostly just noticeable to u and not to people in your day to day life.

So I feel like it gets a little better each day. I didn't expect my nose to feel so hard and numb. The right side is less swollen and not as hard. I'm hoping that the uneven nostrils and crookedness will improve in the next few weeks as swelling continues to subside. It also looks like I have a hanging columella- especially from my left profile. That area and the tip feel pretty hard and swollen, so I'm hoping that goes away.

I think it looks nice. Your nostrils appear to be uneven in the before picture as well, so you're probably just more aware of it now. What I found with my nostrils is that I only noticed the asymmetry after surgery but looking back I can see that mine were asymmetrical to begin with. Your result looks very cute and feminine!

Yes, they were very uneven before and I didn't even notice it. I think I had more cartilage so it was hidden better. Now I'm just hoping when the left side swelling subsides that it won't be so visible from the front. We shall see.

I'm almost in the exact same boat as you! Had Rhinoplasty and septoplasty done 5 weeks ago and am really not sure about things. I also have uneven nostrils and my nose now veers to one side a little. It didn't before. I also never asked for an elevated tip and my tip is sky high. The waiting game is SO hard! I feel your pain! But the good news is that things should improve. And if they don't, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I honestly think your nose looks great though and will improve every day!

Yes. I'm trying to not obsess over it because nothing can be done right now. I think I was expecting perfection and I have to realize all noses are irregular. I've been noticing everyone's noses now where ever I go! Best of luck to you and your continued healing.

How are you doing? Has the feeling subsided and are you accepting your new look? I’m also struggling a bit and I feel your pain.
