Want to get 80% closer to my dream nose

ORIGINAL POST

I have to be honest, the entire experience was a disaster. I was assured by Baldwin he knew what I wanted and we had agreed on realistic wish pics. I was told he could get me 80% closer to my dream nose, but instead it went minus 80%, and I'm now left with an ugly nose that doesn't suit my face at all. I was closer to my goal before rhinoplasty.
What was also incrediblly disappointing was Dr Baldwin's response to my distress about my less than desireable outcome. All he could tell me was 'there's nothing else he could do' and I should 'seek therapy'. I have since been in touch with other Plastic surgeons who have confirmed for me that my nose can be fixed, despite Baldwin's claims.
For someone who tells you upfront that he will be honest with you, his lack of honestly/accountability and even just acknowledgement that my results aren't close to the goal we agreed on, is really disheartening and upsetting. Would not recommend to anyone.

Sorry that you got a poor result and worse still a poor response from your surgeon. It's really not acceptable. That Dr. was on my radar but will now be removed from my list. I hope you find someone who can help. Please keep us posted

Thank you so much! I'll do another update when I get to 12 months post OP.

I hope there's some improvement and if not I hope you find someone who can help .

Sorry to hear about your experience! Is the last photo your inspo for what you wanted? Or is that your result? Hope you can have your desired outcome soon!
January 20, 2022
Thank you! That last photo was one of my inspo photos.The first photo compliation is my current nose after surgery at 9 months. And the second photo was before the procedure.

Hey in that first photo which is the before and after? is the before on the Left?
February 22, 2022
In the very first photo (the compilation photo) all photos are after the surgery! My nose has always been upturned naturally, but the cartridge in between my nostrils now hangs very oddly

I've just added some before photos so you can see the proper results :)

Thank you so much and so sorry that happened to you, hopefully it gets resolved :)

hey there! Can you post a pic when your cast came off? Did it change a lot in that time or is 9 months pretty much how it started off? Hope you’re okay now xx

Hey! I'll try and find some for you! The only real difference I've noticed since the cast came off was the tip has become more bumpy and uneven. It wasn't visible initially as I was so swollen! And thank you :) I've got some revision consultations coming up to hopefully get it fixed xx

Thanks for your reply! I hope you are okay and have a good support network around you! These things can be really impactful, just know it will get better soon once you have your revision! I have the opposite problem to you - my nose is too upturned and I wish my columella would drop a bit more! I’ve learned rhinoplasty is no joke and I’m scared for a revision personally! Take care :)

One year Post OP - still botched

I'm a week shy of it being one year since my surgery with Mark Baldwin. Here is my nose now. Pinched and slightly crooked tip, very flared nostrils. From my profile, the apex of my nose now hangs very low, which I never had before. The worst part is how my nostrils flare diagonally upwards now.
