Info for problem of wider nose
1)While I agree that the edema and swelling has definitely subsided after 1 year, your nose will still become smaller and more refined from secondary wound healing and wound contracture.
=> I may wait more indeed. That confirms what my surgeons is saying.
2)A weak bridge can be accompanied by weak nasal tip cartilages, resulting in a wide nose from the front view. Building up the bridge will improve the profile, however often the nasal tip cartilages also need to be refined & sculpted. I would recommend a consult with a rhinoplasty expert as these cases are often more difficult and should be done by an experienced surgeon.
3) To narrow a wide bridge requires osteotomies placed in the nasal bones, and a cartilage graft placed across the bridge line to build up. If this is revisional nasal surgery, its important to know whether or not there is any cartilage left on the inside of the nose for grafting purposes. To narrow wide nostrils requires an alar-plasty. To narrow the tip requires a tip plasty.
4) Limited improvement might be possible by narrowing nasal bones. However it is not always possible.
My best advice to you is to leave your nose alone now.
More surgery can sometimes make things worse.
My nose before when I was smiling
Why is my nose so large when I smile now? :(
I think a picture is better than description. I am...
My nose is larger than before. Surely the profile is perfect though. WIll it get thinner? My doctor says the skin will retract and it will look smaller... is that right?
Strangely, nobody around me saw a difference (well, it's a very big difference from before!!!), so it's true that this Dr. makes very natural nose. There is no strange irregularities also.
I have difficulties to breath but he says it's normal that I breath a little bit less better than before as my nose is much smaller (he means no more bump).
I would not say it's a fail as my profile and my face when I am smiling are ok. But my smile is such so different now (> see picture).
I had a friend who went to see him for a rhino after seeing mine. So I guess it's not that bad.
Well, just take a look at the picture and make your own opinion about it.
Provider Review
It depends, somedays he is sweet and comprehensive, he will hug you, kiss you even, say how wonderful are your hair and your clothes.... Other days he will be... different. For example, one day he told me I will never be able to do anything good in my life. Also, he asks you all the time why you took him instead of another, and you have to answer "because he is the best" or you will loose ton of time on it. At my first appointment he showed me pictures of women he operated for lipo (not sure why, I am 50kg) where you could see their face and their pubis! Regarding review of my operation, I am not sure yet if I am happy about it. Check my profile for pictures. My nose is larger than before. I have also difficulties to breath.
