Question. Bump on top of the nose bridge

WORTH IT$9,500
Just a quick update and a question for those of you that's over one year post. without pictures. Sorry guys!

I'm now 1 year and 3 months post. And I still don't like the right profile vs left profile. I really like my left profile but from my right one somehow I look piggy.

The other thing that bothers me is that I have this bump on top of my nose bridge and from the 3/4 angle the line that runs down from the top of my nose bridge to the bottom isn't straight because of this bump. As my nose becomes more and more defined this bump is becoming more obvious. Dr G said that I'll see results up to 3 years but has anyone else had this and saw any improvement?

1 year post op

Lolly14
It's now near 1 year post op for me so here are some of the latest. Overall I am very happy with my new nose and its DEF an improvement. I was looking at pictures of my old nose and my thought exactly was, "ew". Lol. So far, only two people have asked me if I did something to my nose and that I looked different. the funny thing is, I rarely see them nor am I close to them AND they are both males. Others have said nothing. That blew me away as my close friends hasn't said anything. There are a few things I'm not happy about. First is that I love my left profile view but not so much the right. For some reason it looks piggy from the right angle where it doesn't from the left. The tip is still very hard to touch and it's the only area where it feels there's any swelling left. There is also a tiny bump on the bridge and it's only noticeable in certain photos by not really. I saw Dr G at 10 months post and he told me that there is bit of swelling left there. I just can't understand why there would be swelling only in that tiny spot but none on the rest of the bridge?? I hope he's right. The tip is still feels upturned because all of the swelling has subsided on the bridge. I'm hoping that it will come down a little more. My nose is something I definitely don't obsess about anymore. And have learnt to stop being a perfectionist because I'm not quite sure that a perfect nose could be achieved with surgery. All in all I do not regret doing this one bit and feel much more feminine with my new nose. If Dr G says that nose can take up to 3 years for it to completely show results then i have faith in that it will come close to perfection. Now I get compliments on my nose :) and revision isn't a plan for me no matter the imperfections I described. I'm still very glad that u chose Dr G as my surgeon. No photos will be uploaded for this review. Sorry! The only thing that I wonder about is whether I should've left a little cornunella rather than get rid of it all, which in turn it could have improved

I am glad you have an improvement and you are over all happy with your nose :) I am curious if you asked Dr. G to remove your columella? I wish I had less of one. Mine hangs down too much when I smile. I am 6 months post op with Dr. G. I am wondering if this appearance will change as time goes on. Did you notice quite a bit of refinement from six months to one year?

Thanks :) I actually asked Dr G to remove it all right before my surgery as I hated how much it hung. But now I kind of regret removing too much of it as from the right angle my nose looks too upturned. So I do wish I left a bit there.

I saw a huge improvement really fast within a month. I mean it's nothing compared to six months but for me between one to 5 months there wasn't all that much difference. Dr G also said that my nose was really defined at one month.

Thank you for replying. I actually emailed Dr. G today with pictures because I am so concerned with my columella hang. He told me that he could perform a simple office procedure that would take him 20 minutes to do to correct this but he would need to wait until I am 14 months post op. I see him in 10 days for my almost 7 month post op visit. I will let you know what happens there. Have you posted any pics that I can see? I haven't yet as I have felt I can't because I am not fully satisfied with my results and I feel maybe it is to early to judge. Thank you for sharing your experience!

It's a lot more upturned than your before picture. Did you ask to have it like that?

I was wondering the same thing. It looked Michael Jackson-y from the front view. Maybe she took the picture from a slightly downwards angle?
