I've never really liked my nose but it wasn't until I started losing my facial fat that it really stared sticking out. I have a long slender shaped face and the hump on my nose began to look very boney and overall unattractive to me. So I decided it was time to get a nose job. No more wishing it would look better, I was gonna go for it.

Still unsure

So I'm still taking different pictures trying to decide what I think. Even though the right side is the one that still has a bump , I thin it looks better in pictures. The left side looks longer for some reason and the nostril bigger. I can't catch a good picture of the bump on pictures because it is more noticeable from the front. Strange I know. I know it is improved from what I had because I'm not focused on it as much as I was before. Just still not in love with it either.

Pleaso do not take this as a offense, but your bump is still a little bit visible (too me atleast). How many weeks/months after the Op. is this? I have the same problem with my nose, my bump is still visible after the surgery, mine has only been 3 weeks though. Im really curious when you had the surgery.
Btw im not saying that your nose is ugly or something, so dont misunderstand it.

Oops didnt saw it was 26 days after the surgery. Did the Dr. say if the hump/bump will dissappear with time?
February 4, 2015
I am not offended at all lol. I know what it looks like and it's true! I'm 4 weeks out but I know it's not swelling so I do not Expect it to change. If anything I would expect it to look more noticeable if there is swelling that still has to subside. It's not symmetrical because the bump is more prominent on one side. I will have a revision I'm sure but just not sure if I want to go back to dr who did it!

I have not se my dr yet. My follow up is in march. I know it is bone because I can feel it. It's the same bone that I have felt my whole life and wanted gone. I'm not satisfied yet. I'm disappointed for sure but not much I can so at this point so we will see. So what has your dr said about yours?

Well that sucks too hear. Today is my third week after the surgery, and my hump gets bigger everyday. When they removed my cast after 7 days my nose looked great, but now im really dissapointed with the results. Im only 20 years old so i spend most of my money on this nose job, and it really gets me angry that it isnt done correctly. Sure if i need a second surgery it'll be free, but still i dont want to wait a year and go throught this again. Even if my hump is still visible, it sure is better then my old nose, but im still not happy about it. The Dr. said my nose would be perfect after the surgery, but its not perfect at all. I gave him a call last week (so 2 weeks after the surgery) and he said that my hump would gone since it was swollen. Not sure if i still believe in him... Im gonna wait another week or two and if the hump is still not gone than i'll call him again. I have my follow up in April, but i cant wait that long lol. Really sucks that your hump also isnt gone, After all this surgery was done because we wanted to get rid of our hump...

I'm sorry you have to go through it too. I agree a year is a very long time to wait! Yes mine looks better than it did but is on no way what we discussed or what the predicted outcome was suppose to be. Soo now we wait lol you really have to try and focus on the positives or it will depress you as your recovering. Keep me posted on your progress and I'll try to do the same.
February 5, 2015
Being positive at this momemt is a bit hard lol, but your right i guess. Sure i'll let you know how my progress goes, i'll probably update next wednesday, since its 4 weeks after the surgery then. Anyways, Take care!

So frustrating!
JdurkeeFebruary 25, 2015
So I'm just not happy about my nose. The more the swelling has gone down the more noticeable the bump is. It's not a cute nose. I really wanted a cute nose or at least a nose that wasn't noticeable for bad reasons like bumps and overall size. Still waiting on my follow up with the dr in a few weeks sooo idk. Can't fix it for a year anyway but just not fair I have to look like this for a whole year then go through it all over again!

I know it's frustrating. Yeah the bump wasn't there before now I can see it. The size might change as you are only a month post. Sorry about your disappointment. I hope your doctor can fix it. Please keep us posted.

Try to be patient. I know it's frustrating because I went through the same emotions. I'm 10 days away from being 4 months post op and I'm just starting to see positive change. I haven't even updated my review because this just suddenly happened. I also can breathe for the first time. I was so frustrated because I thought my surgeon had been way too conservative. He even told me not to expect any more change and I honestly see change! Everyone told me to be patient but I just couldn't see my nose suddenly becoming better to the degree I had hoped for. So basically it has taken 4 months for me to like my nose. Stay positive! I already see a nice nose in your pictures!

Aw thanks but the pics really don't show the bone that's sticking up.i think the rest will be ok but the big hump on one side is noticeable to others as well. In fact it looks worse since the swelling has gone down because it's more noticeable. Thanks for you encouraging words because I was hoping I will breathe better than I am now. I know there's still hope for that one :)

Hey, really sorry to hear you're unhappy with the results. I had my OP 4 days ago so have not seen under my cast yet! However, I can't even imagine how I'd feel if I was unhappy with the result. Just keep your head up and be confident that in the end everything will work out to your satisfaction. I know it's hard but I always say that there's no point getting worked up over something that's out of your control. It serves no one. It sounds to me like the issue will be resolved once the revision is done so maybe just try not to put too much mental energy into it until you can get it revised.
March 22, 2015
I agree, I'm a pretty positive person so that is helping. He said he could do a revision after My next apt in June. He said I didnthave to wait a year. So I guess we will see. Thanks for encouragement :)
March 22, 2015
Also, for the record. I looked at your pics and it's actually not that bad. I know this stuff is mostly about how we feel about ourselves but honestly, I would not look at you and say wow that woman has a really messed up nose. You look fine.

Thanks so much for sharing! You do not look forty at all. Your nose is definitely improved and looks really natural, but please let us know if you decide to go for a revision.
