Still Struggling 10 Years Later

I had a rhinoplasty, septoplasty and turbinectomy (I think that’s all of them) in 2013. I realised almost as soon as I started to heal a few days after that I a heap of cartilage and bone had been cut away all down my nose and it had that “ski jump” look. At NO time did I ask for that, or say anything that would deem that necessary.

At the consult, I was shown one brief quick image of a fairly straight nose bridge which I said yes that’s what I’m looking for.

I hate ski jump noses, it does not suit my face at all.

I spent all my savings on this surgery and whilst I can breathe a little better the aesthetics are appalling.

It was done in day surgery and I was taken to hospital (a different one) that evening due to bleeding - I should have been kept overnight.

Fast forward 10 years later and I am deeply unhappy, struggling and depressed. My columella is retracted, creating the look of a longer philitrum, it’s so “ski jump” in shape that in side views I look like I’ve had my nose punched in, the tip is an undefined, bulbous mess with very visible nostrils (one nostril is “pulled up” a bit creating more asymmetry) and my nose is SO skinny - there is barely any cartilage and bone left.

I am so deeply unhappy with these results and I look terrible - I wish I had never done this.

I am now seeking someone in Australia - or even overseas - to do a revision.
