I am so depress right now. I feel all alone. I wish I could go back in time and never had this procedure done. I am 31 years old, and I always wanted my nose done since the age of 17 years old. The surgery it self went smoothly, I'm not in any pain, and the staff was really nice. I was told by his staff that Dr. Zarem was the best when it comes to rhinoplasties. He worked in California for many years, he worked on celebrities, and was on the show extreme make over. I feel like I am going to have to get a revision to correct my right nostril. I'm so upset about this. I am also concerned about my nose being lifted too high.

Slit in my nostril
I am hoping that the slit in my right nostril (your left) is from the splint pinching my nose; couple of doctors on this site said that is probably whats causing the slit look. I really hope so, if that is the case I will be happy. And for my nose being a little upturned, I was told it is the swelling and splint, and once the swelling goes down, my nose wont look so upturned. I go see my doctor tomorrow to have my splint and packing inside my nose removed. I am hoping everything goes well. I will keep you guys updated. I am thinking of making videos, I am not sure yet. I really didn't want to write about my journey, but I want to help people who are thinking about getting this procedure done.

It's still early. I know you won't see your final results for months. I hope all works out well. I had a consultation for a nose job, but I am nervous about going through with it. Keep us posted and add pics of your progress.

I wish I would of just accepted my nose. It seems like I always have bad luck :-(

Your nose will heal, right after surgery is a rough time but it will get better. I had mine done back in 2006. I had to have a revision done cause my doctor went to aggressive my nose collapsed , but she fixed it beautifully. Good Luck, all will be well in time.

Thank you, I'm going to see each y doctor tomorrow and let him know that I am very concern about this slit in my nose. I am hoping he can fi, it. It looks horrible. It's like he took to much off one of my nostril!

How long after your surgery did your nose collaspe? And when did you get the revision done?

Ummmm fairly quick within 6 months and I got the revision within the next 6 months free of charge. My doctor was kind of in denial at first, some doctors are perfectionist & she couldn't believe she made a mistake, but like I wrote earlier she did fix it &did a great job. I did like the first nose job but when it collapsed it was crooked so I do know your pain. Stay on it! even if you have to call your doctor daily! You paid a lot of money . Take care of your self , you are beautiful.

Hi tpk2014, I don't know if I want my doctor to do a revision on me, even if it is free. I'm afraid he might make it worst. I love your nose btw, you are beautiful! I wish I was one of the lucky ones that goes in for rhino surgery and come out with the dream nose the first time.

The splint is causing the appearance of a slit? Yes, that makes sense. That's probably all it is. That's very encouraging! Stay positive dear. It'll be better soon.

That's what I'm hoping, but if that's not so, I'm going for a revision with another doctor. I just wish I didn't have to wait a whole year!

Today is the day I have my cast removed.
I'm here at the doctor's office now. He will be removing my cast today. I am hoping once the cast is off the slit will disappear. If not I going to ask him of he can fix this without a revision. I don't want to walk around in public with a deformed nose. I will take pictures once the cast has been removed. I'm so nervous right now!!
