This is my nose a year and two months later. I came a long way. I finally got my revision on the 25th of August. But as you can see my nose healed horribly! One nostril higher than the other, the slit healed okay, but it has a slight dent, which will be there forever, because it is scared.

Here are some pictures you haven't seen before!
These are just a few pictures of Dr. Harvey Zarem's work. He promised me a beautiful nose and could not explain why I had a slit on the side of my nose. Thank God it healed some what. Yoy can still see a little indent. I would not recommend anyone of color tongo to Savannah plastic surgery, located in Savannah, Ga. I was indenial, I wanted to believe him that my nose was okay, but I found out from another surgeon that he really screwed it up!! Thank God I finally saved up some money to get my botched nose fixed from a surgeon who cares!

No he actually passed away and another guy took his spot, and the new doctor said he will charge me the same price which was $4500.

I completely understand when you say you were in denial. The reason why is that the surgeon tells you that it is swelling and that it takes at last a year to see the results. But, you know in your gut that what the surgeon is telling you is not true. However, you try to remain positive and hope that things turn out. I, also, knew that I would need a revision very soon after my cast came off. My nostrils were obviously asymmetrical and then my nose started to look pinched. My plastic surgeons blamed it on the fact that I wanted a conservative rhinoplasty. Really . . . Anyway, I am glad things worked out for you.

I just wanted to tell you that you are beautiful and not alone. I could not see the problem with your nose until several pictures later with your head tilted back. I am glad you were able to saved up money. I thought I'd leave a comment because you are fabulous and your nose even with the one side the way it turned out still looks great on you. I wish you hadn't beat yourself up for a whole year. But I know your opinion is the only relevant one as I have a hump (which no one else can see until I make them take a good look) on my nose I'd like to reconstruct in the future. Good luck with the new surgery.

Thank you so much! I am totally happy now with my new nose, even with the swelling. I don't have many pictures up on my new blog, but I will be putting a new picture up in about a month. Thanks for reading my journey. You can check out my new blog.
