I've had 3 surgeries with Dr Jacono and they have all been bad. The first one where he took a significant amount off the length of my nose without consent was followed by my nose collapsing. I just had the 3rd surgery where he was supposed to lenghthen my nose, even out the sides and fix the are that was collapsed has left me with more uneveness on one side and the length is not even noticeably longer.

Thanks for sharing on RealSelf. We'd love to see your photos to be able to visualize what you're describing.

I tried uploading photos but the only format that I can upload is jpg. I used a software to white out my eyes and it is no longer a jpg. Any suggestions?

So sorry you are going through this. Have you seen any specialist did you get any answers as to why it's dis colored. Did you look into corrective make up ? There is a. German company I believe kaolin that can hide even strawberry birthmarks

Did you find out why your nose is blue? You can really see that. How about some leg make up - I found some online & that covers everything, veins, etc. You would only need a tiny bit. Good luck & please let us know when you find out from another doctor why your nose is blue - just curious.

What is the name of the brand? It is hard for anything to stay on my nose. My nose is always running. It is blue because there is no circulation to the tip.

The manufacturer is Dermablend, Leg & Body Cover. I dont' have to use anything on top of it but if your nose is running all the time you might want to use a little powder to set it. So sorry for all you've gone through. I hope a new doctor can help you. Best of luck!

Hi. So sorry you are going through this. Kat von D makes a great concealer called Lock-It. It isn't as thick as Dermablend and will stay on during workouts etc. I had a mini facelift and used it to cover the scars by my ears when I pulled my hair up to work out. I spin and sweat and it worked amazingly! You can buy it at Sephora or online. Hope this helps

Thanks. I tried dermablend but it didn't help. I'll try kat Von d. My nose is always running (another side effect of surgery) so in not sure anything will really conceal for much time but truly appreciate the recommendation. Thanks

I am very sorry. The tip pf my nose was bright red for 6 years because of Dr Haworth. The IPL laser seems to help. It takes time for the color to go away. Look at my picture and click on it to make it bigger. It has been 10 years for me.

I have not been able to get used to the length of my nose even after he supposedly lengthened it. Unfortunately, it does not look any longer. My nose continues to be blue. Jacono never mentioned circulation to my tip as a risk. I'm left with a blue nose that may never recover. I also had an s-lift and brow lift which I didn't mention above. I'm left with significant asymmetry which has become more and more apparent as the swelling has gone completely down. I look hideous.

How long did it take for your nose to go blue? My tip goes completely white when I work out really hard and am red in the face. It's so embarassing!!!!

Oh. Sorry. How long has it been since you had surgery. My nose was blue right after surgery and has remained blue. It is worse when it is cold.

While I really feel for you that the result is contrary to what you paid for....I still feel you are lucky that you got a shorter nose since most women seek a shorter nose and just don't get it. I'm one example of it, but I'll try very hard though... :o)

I understand how distressed you are and we certainly know our faces but honestly, your nose doesn't look bad a little shorter. I had to look back & forth between the pictures to see a difference. Also, you can have botox to raise the lower brow. I have that as well & I'm not having surgery for that, I just get botox. I always know when I need more because my brow start going down again. Good luck!
