Nearly 4 years post op
After having me initial rhinoplasty and septoplasty on 2009 = disaster, followed by a further failed botched revision in 2011 which left me with displaced, visible and palpable only grafts but also further resection of my nose. I had a second revision travelling all the way to the US in 2013, unfortunately suffering an awful pseudomonas post op infection. The whole rhinoplasty part of my life caused me so much distress and depression. My nose was crooked, I just wanted it straightened. I'm happy to say I would never touch my nose again. I'm left with a lot of redness and scarring on the right side where the infection was and cold intolerance of my nasal skin. But with make up I can even put the skin tone. I'm very happy with how my nose looks. Even from year 3-4 there has been changes in swelling and my nose has refined more. 2 years post op I still had a lot of swelling. Swelling lasts so long after revisions!
It's taken a long time to gels and inflammation to settle.
I haven't updated for a long, long time. I was too fed up to be honest. I suffered rosacea triggered by op and infection. And was very unhappy with discomfort that still fluctuated and painful raised scarring internally and externally.
My nose gets very cold and it is very hard to live with, but I have noticed a slight improvement recently.
Overall though I have elements of great success, and my nose has been improved. If it wasn't for the infection results have been the very best they could be. I can see the outline of where the fascia blanket graft starts on my bridge when I raise my eyebrows but I know it's there and I don't think it's noticeable to others.
I am most happy with how much straighter my septum is, when the light hits my face I have a straight line reflected off my nose.
My collapsed left side where there was a visible graft looks wicked, very smooth and pretty whereas it was mishapen before.
I'm updating while I'm tired so will forget lots of points. Pictures speak a thousand words. Sorry about the eye covering, I'm paranoid about photos being used unauthorised.
The infection has left skin damage and a hypo tropic scar. Will post some more pics tomorrow.

Things finally settling.
In the lasts week I haven't had any pain it's as though my healing has had a turbo boost. Still have barely covered edge of cartilage in nostril but the external lump has smoothed out.
