As requested this is a front view photo of my nose at almost 11 months post op. As you can see the bridge is nice and narrow and the nostrils are well spaced - about as symmetrical as they're going to be! Also happy with my columella - it looks particularly great side on.
What I am miserable about is my nose tip. It looks thick and bulky and rounded at the sides. I would do anything to have a thin little nose tip! Praying it's possible with a revision!

Has anyone had both a primary and revision with Dr G?
MHB11October 29, 2016
It's fast approaching my one year anniversary with my new nose. Whilst my current nose is an incredible improvement on the mess I was born with, I will sadly admit that I'm still not truly happy. Dr G is a wonderful surgeon and I think he did an amazing job with my nose. My profile is really lovely and I am mostly very happy side on. Front on had always been my weakest angle, and unfortunately it still isn't great. My nose tip is still thick and bulbous - obviously this is just genetically how my tip cartilage likes to go. Dr G said he wouldn't even think about doing a revision until at least 18 months had past, as he said I am still very swollen. I have attached a picture of my current look. I am really hoping that someone else on RS has had dr g refine and tweak their primary rhinoplasty that he did, and can give me some advice or information. Please reach out to me if you have dealt with dr g for a revision!!!

Don't do it! Your nose looks so good now. Did your boyfriend ever come around? That's one of my biggest fears!

Yes my husband changed his mind completely. He now compliments me on my 'cute little nose' all the time. I think he was just really panicked in the beginning because I looked so unrecognisable. About a month after surgery he decided it was a great decision and now he can't remember me looking any other way from how I do now.
I've just updated a new photo so you can see from the front why I'm unhappy still :(

That's what I'm worried about. My boyfriend not recognizing me or not finding me attractive post op. Though I recently broke my nose so I already feel not like myself. Did you have any grafting?

It was awful at first because I thought that I had changed my nose so that I would feel more beautiful, specifically to him! But after a little bit of an adjustment period my husband was super supportive and said it was a wonderful decision. I think it just takes everyone a while to adjust to your new face. Once I got used to it so did everyone else. I really wouldn't worry too much!
I actually have no idea sorry! I didn't ask dr g anything about what he did during surgery, I was too excited to be rid of my old nose to think of anything else!

I also want to know....i did a primary with him and even though he improved my nose....i wish it could be more upturned and the front be more like a refined tip. He said i will see my true results in 3 years.

Yeah he said 3 years for me too - but who wants to wait 3 years? Especially if you're already certain you want a tip revision! Mine is nicely upturned and I like most things about it, just not the width and shape of the tip.

Omg ... please don't get revision .. your nose looks like something you were born with! Don't do another surgery.. be grateful please you look gorgeous ... I want a rhinoplasty and am still contemplating it, but you looks great! Stop torturing yourself ..:))

Swelling is a b*#%h!!
MHB11April 19, 2016
Recently I've been hating my nose tip in photos and wondering why that is. Then it hit me that the difference I'm seeing between 2months p/o and 4 months is that the skin on the bridge of my nose is now clinging on really tight to the underlying bone etc. whilst the nose tip is still swollen. It's probably not that the tip is getting bigger and uglier, but that the top half of my nose has shrunk and the tip hasn't. Swelling is making me so annoyed at the moment, but all I can do is try and be extremely patient! I am going to start taping religiously again each night and cut out alcohol and salty foods, to see if this helps!!
