Still Have Hump

Even though I hate the results of my rhinolasty, my first dr. did agree to do asmall revision a few weeks after mhy initial surgery. I was charged $400.00 for some kind of IV that was supposed to sedate me. I was awake fo the entire thing. I don't think your surgeon should charge you anymore than that. it seems like he would want to make you feel good about your nose. Good Luck.

Its been 6 weeks, and my hump still hasnt gone down. I'm soo mad. Not only that, but I told my dr to fix my deviated septum, he didn't do that either! The sad part is I can't get my money back because the dr. "tried" [RS bleep]! The only positive thing about it is I get free touchups; My dr said that it will change in the span of a year, which again, I think is [RS bleep]. I have friends who got their noses done in the middle-east, for a fraction of the cost, and they had no bump at all. :(, should have done it there.

Dont let him walk on you... Im pretty sure mines bone too... I was reading this site.. and it said.. the number one cause of this is usually because the surgeon was rushed... He prob squeezed in another apmt right after our surgery to make more money those greed agggh... Be stiff.. tell him what u agreed on.. and let him know u didnt pay for injections you payed for the removal of the hump!

I think at that point.. if he says no to shaving your hump... You could prob sue him... and he would be foolish to do that!.. Becase.. your agreement was to have cosmetic surgery ... not injections. The agree was to shave the bump and hes now wanting to inject it... Like I said.. thats not what you payed for.. if you have msn, add me s.2.thez@hotmail.com, we will talk more on this.

I also recently had a closed rhinoplasty to remove the hump on the bridge of my nose (09/04/09). I was completely disappointed to see that the bump was still there and VERY prominent when the bandages came off one week later. My doctor told me that what I was seeing was residual swelling, and it would take months for the bump to go down. One month later, much to my frustration, the bump had BARELY gone down. Even my mother thought the procedure wasn't properly done. I was devestated, and I cried a lot during those few weeks. I finally booked another appointment with my doctor about 5 weeks post-op. Again, my doctor reminded me that my nose was still healing. She looked inside my nose and claimed that the nose would first heal itself on the inside before healing on the outside. She said that everything looked great on the inside so far and to be patient because these things take months to heal, and I probably wouldn't see the results I wanted until the 3rd month, post-op. I was still a tad skeptical, but I felt much better having spoken with her again. It has now been 2 months post-op and the bridge of my nose is ALMOST completely straight. I feel much more secure about the procedure than I did one month ago. I can see the swelling start to go down bit by bit almost everyday now and I'm SO much happier. My advice to anyone who is unhappy with their results a few weeks after surgery is DON'T lose hope! BE PATIENT! Chances are your doctor was very conservative in the removal of your hump and what you're seeing is residual trauma from the surgery itself and it WILL go down after time. The bump on my nose was hard and it felt like bone, not soft or spongey like I thought it should. I thought for sure my doctor messed up my nose, but I'm much much happier with the results now. Hope that helps! :)
