Photos of the asymmetry
sara83June 7, 2013
Adding new photos of my crooked nose - swings to the left. It seems like today some swelling went down on the right side of my nose. But now I'm feeling like its a huge dent and makes my nose look even more asymmetric. Hoping this is due to sweeping on my left side. Hoping and praying - but it feels like maybe the PS took out too much cartilage (somehow) on my right side.
Please forgive my appearance in these photos. I had just taken my makeup off (minus mascara).
Please let me know what you all think. Thank you in advance.
I have a post op appt coming up soon. Hopefully, I can get some answers....

It could easily be the swelling causing the crooked appearance. What I would ask her is what she did to refine your tip that's the part that looks untouched. On your first post you described what she "told" you she could do! Have her explain that:-)

I hit send before I was finished in conclusion every new picture you posted looks better and better with time!!! Maybe your just one of those really slow healers;)

I know it’s been awhile since you post this but I was wondering how your nose looks now?

3 weeks post op

I've been very hesitant about updating my review because I'm so upset about my results, that I didn't want to go on here and sound like a complete lunatic lol. My nose is still crooked. I'll post pics to show. Seems like it hasn't changed at all, which is very discouraging, because I was hoping it was crooked due to swelling. My septum seems deviated. The incision seems to be healing awkwardly. I don't know. I keep going on here and seeing everyone's amazing results and feel so depressed, and to be honest, very jealous lol! I'm hoping all this is due to swelling, but I can't help but think I'm the one that got the "bad nose job". I keep doubting myself and thinking I should have done more research and not jumped into this decision. I don't know. Even if I did get the "bad nose job", I have to wait a year to do anything, so I'm just going to have to be patient either way...

I agree with you not much difference. If I were you I would ask her to explain exactly what she did and how it's different you have a right to ask these questions. Don't get depressed I think your nose is unique and makes you exotic looking, but I do understand your disappointment:-( ou don't spend all that hard earned money to not be happy with your result. It's true you could just be extremely swollen, but I would still make that doctor answer my questions. Cheer up dear life has its ways of balancing everything out in the end:-)

Thank you so much for your kind words! I have another post op appt coming up soon & I will definitely be asking a lot of questions.

I know how you feel about being depressed when you see other people's amazing results. You could have some uneven swelling. 3 weeks is still pretty early! I can't really see the asymmetry you are experiencing so it is probably just you who notices! Hang in there and keep us posted!

I think it's very humble and sweet of you to encourage others that are not happy with their result! I read that you did not have a great experience. It takes a strong and kind soul to spread positive energy and I commend you for that:-)

Well thank you! What a nice compliment. I just believe this surgery can do wonders for people and though my experience is disappointing thus far, I am hopeful that it will turn around soon!

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling that way. Thank you for your kind words! I hope things are well on your end.
I'm hoping its just uneven swelling, but I have my doubts.
