I am day 13 of my first asianrhinoplasty ( also combined with Septoplasty and inferior turbinate reduction) . No words can described the regrets I had for going under the knife and so very unnecessary. I should done more homework and not have taken this prodcure lightly. I always been called pretty and sweet in my life even thou i have a typical asian nose with very flat bridge but it somehow just looked well with my face. Now, I just want to go back to my old self and learn this lesson of loving myself.
My nose looks so BIG super hard. My doctor used donor rib graft for my bridge and tip... he told me I am still very swollen and I still have tape on my bridge to help with swollen. I been hiding out at home but I have to go back to work very soon and I just don't know how to face this new face? I never knew a rhinoplasty will have a drastic change!

Thank you .. and everyone tells me to give it sometime.. but one know itself... I want me back. I actually don't care if this nose turned out to be good... but it changed me and I never signed up for a total transformation. I just wanted a enhancement but to me I look different and I am so scared. Its really affecting me deeply and not to mention I think its BIG & Huge. Nothing in life is worth to go thru it.. even if I can look like angelina.... I would take me back with a blink of an eye. I will keep everyone posted on my progress as I am starting to see other plastic surgeons, I will get their opinion on how to get back on the road of getting me back! I learned a huge lesson in life, don;t mess with nature unless you really have to.
To those who are naturally attractive already... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Don't!
To Those who really hate their nose because it make the face not pleasing... then I would agree that if this is what you want... RESEARCH, RESEARCH and RESEARCH! First time is the best to get it right!
I am bless to have a place to vent so I don't go crazy and I thank God for my super supportive family and friends!

Sorry to hear you are going through a bad experience. I understand the panic mode post op and didn't want to hear "give it time" too after I had my blepharoplasties. I think the key is that you find the right doctor, one that tells you what to expect, is supportive, and listens to your needs. I stressed for months while I healed but couldn't have gotten through it if I didn't have the reassurance and attentiveness of my doctor. You are right though, subtle changes on your face really do totally transform you. My eyes changed my appearance dramatically but in a positive way. I hope everything works out for you!

I am now 16 days post ops and the reality of this mistake is beginning to sink in me. I asked friends and family to stay by me so I don't go into panic attack. The severeness of my haste decision and my consequences are so hard to bear. I look into the mirror I don't look like me and my nose feels like a rock and it hurts! How can this be? My nose is so BIG and so ugly... there like no win in this situation. I am trying to get myself together as I need to get back to work. I don't even know how to face myself... I looked so different or how others would not notice! I regret and remorse. So now I am beginning my journey of reverting back to me. I spoke to my surgeon and he said its possible to get my old face back but " he needs to do some medical technique" ... next week when I see him, I would like to know what that is. I don't think I will have him touch me again, as I don't think he ever had to take any rib graft out before. So, I am seeing Dr. Minas Constantinides on Tuesday for a consultation. I want to share with everyone what I am going thru and the journey I believe will be very positive & appreciative as I find my old face back! I love her and missed her so much. I just want implants gone so I can feel as nature as possible.

Oct 28 consequences
I look horrible and I am still hiding out. I tried to make my once pretty face, pretty by using make up. Oh boy, it looked bad and I can't tell you how scary it is to look in the mirror and not see the you looking back. It's heart breaking and beyond what words can described. I hate some mini panic attack and taking medication. How did i get to this point? I keep telling myself it's fixable. I will share with you on the two PS consultations tomorrow as I am tired.

So you're two weeks out, and I'm so sorry you're regretting this decision. I can tell you that when you first get rhinoplasty, the difference can seem VERY drastic and dramatic, when, in fact, it isn't so much. Give yourself a little time to adjust and you might be surprised by how much better you feel after a while.
If this isn't the case, revision is an option, but you'll still need to wait several months for your current rhinoplasty to heal (not that you need the expense and more down time, but do know that that is an option available).
Please keep us posted and let us know how you're feeling as more time passes.
