So depressed
Well, it’s been years and I still hate looking at myself in photos. This overwhelming depression washes over me after I see how warped my nose looks. It just throws off the whole balance of my face.

I'm glad you posted an update. I think about you sometimes and wonder how you are doing. I know -- it's a lonely place to be. You still look pretty to me, but I'm in the same boat and know how hard it is to hate what you see in the mirror. Maybe one day you'll find the right doctor and you can put this all behind you.

Hey! I think we are in the same boat I am looking at a revision now as well. And ofcourse no one understand and thinks I'm crazy!! Your are gorgeous though please know that!!

Have you consulted about a revision? i think you need a rib graft to add structure to your nose.

January 21, 2018
Definitely considering it but financially it’s not possible at the moment :(

When you can afford it, I think you will be able to fix it. Don't lose hope! Dr Davis or Dr Ion are your best bets.

hi. I've been following your story from the beginning. first you were pretty before and oh are still pretty now. I too have a big nose and got mine done. is it what I wanted, nope. is it smaller, not in my eyes, but it's more contoured. is it better than before, I guess if u do a side by side. I won't mess with it because I know I will never be happy with whatever nose I get because I will always find faults rather than what's better. enough about me. what I've noticed from ur pics.... u are sad in them all, I get it, or you are trying to be happy, maybe I am wrong. your first post op pics look like genuine smiles and after that they are forced. yes you are depressed. i get it but that also shows on you. you look sad, you look like you may have lost weight too. I can tell you have a heart of gold... ur always with a dog or pet and those pics you look applies. forget about the nose (hoping ur breathing is better). Love your dogs, try to accept this nose. don't hate it. life is so short, it sucks wasting time on what you don't like, we are our worst critics. maybe one day down the road if you want you can do something more if that's what will truly make you happy. love your dogs, your life and everything will fall into place. hey you may learn to love the nose you have. mind you I am much older than you and this advise comes from much experience. I know you need to find things out on our own but sometimes it's ok to accept what someone else has learned the hard way and save yourself some heartache. I hope this is helpful. it's meant to be. I am sad to hear you continue to struggle and hope you are able to heal from inside soon. big hugs.

Still frustrated
Life just isn't fair. I wish I had just kept the bump on my nose after my first surgery. I thought I would be moving past this sadness, but I'm reminded of it every day.. If I could say anything to someone considering rhinoplasty or revision.. It would be Don't be a perfectionist! It could be soooooo much worse than it already is.

I agree, I wish I had found this site before my primary. I bet most people would have dissuaded me from having the surgery.
Have you made an actual appointment with Davis yet? I'm going to need to see him too but it's a long wait time and I dont know how a person is supposed to know whether or not They will be able to get to Florida on a specific date a year from now.

I also contacted Dr. Davis's office this week and was told he doesn't take new patients until next year (September 2017!). I too was wondering how would I know if I would be able to travel to FL on a certain date next year.
July 1, 2016
Wow that is a long wait. I guess book the appt as soon as possible and you might even get earlier if there is a cancellation. I suppose the short answer would be planning for that date. All the best. x

Thank you for that advice I think I will just stop scrutinising my "natural result" which I do like, but I get days when I'm like 'I wish it was smaller , thinner and that tiny bump that sometimes appears' but I'm lucky that I can breathe better and no more sinus infections which was the primary aim. I wish u all the best in your recovery and it always saddens me when bad things happen to nice people like yourself. I think that you will soon find your resolution x

Have you thought about going to see Dr Paul Nassiff in California? He seems to do some great work

July 27, 2016
I think romy has a great idea. Dr. Paul Nassif specializes in fixing botched noses. Have you seen the tv show Botched? He does amazing work and has an office in Beverly Hills.

August 12, 2016
That is enough for a down payment on a condo. I can't possibly afford that, so I will keep looking.
January 15, 2018
Dr. Nassiff charges in upwards of 30K and I don't think his work is very good to charge that amount


July 31, 2016
I am really sorry you're still sad. I hope you start consulting revision specialists. Your nose can definitely be fixed so please don't get frustrated and depressed. You're young and very pretty.
