Nose is really messed up after surgery

ORIGINAL POST

Caring Doctor but Nose Not Right.

I broke my nose as a child and finally after years of contemplating decided to have it fixed. I did alot of research and chose Mr Murphy due to the good reviews.
I am now 10 months post op and when the swelling has gone down noticed my nose is very much still irregular.
It's a shame after spending so much money and time. I cannot fault the staff in anyway at the Spire but I am not happy with the outcome of my op.
My tip is still very much swollen, maybe it will go down. I am not sure.

Still unhappy especially with the tip

Amy60
I was really hoping the swelling would reduce but now I am over a year post op.
I have been told there is nothing much can be done. I feel my old nose looked better because the slighter bigger bridge balanced the bigger tip.
Now I am left with a smaller straighter bridge with a big uneven tip.
I really wish I knew this would happen, I would never have had the surgery :(

UPDATED FROM Amy60

Still upset

Amy60
I feel like it is getting worser rather than better. At first Mr Murphy agreed to do a revision but then he said the risks outweigh the improvement. I am still very much not happy with the shape. I feel like I have actually wasted my time and money to look worse. It sort of looks weird from certain angles. I wish I had not gone through with the surgery but I was told before surgery that if I wasn't happy with it in the end, it can be improved easily. I feel like my trust has been broken. I actually thought going with a reputable hospital like Spire would be the best for me but unfortunately not.

Sadly your one of many victims who have ended up let down by this man’s huge ego and lack of skill!

He keeps saying he thinks it is a good result unfortunately. I am not even fussy, all I want is for it to be normal at least.

So sorry about all this, we are the ones who have to live with it when things go wrong. The surgeons don't understand how devastating it can be. The patients with awful results are just brushed under the carpet. He also takes his after pictures with a huge camera with a flashing light to make you look better.

I am so upset, every time I look in the mirror I wish I could turn back time. I am too scared now to do a revision with another surgeon. Plus the cost aswell :(
