11 months update (pics coming soon )
THE BIG QUESTION: DO I LIKE MY NOSE?
ANSWER: NO!
All the concerns I had at the beginning about my nose are still here 11 months later. The doctors response to everything was "It's the swelling" ... well now 11 months later I still see the same problems without the swelling. If anything, it is more noticeable because the problems are more defined.
When I called the doctor around my 6 month post date I expressed to him that I felt like a member of the Jackson family. He was acting as if I was in the wrong for feeling the way I did about MY OWN NOSE. He told me my bridge was way too wide before surgery and if I don't like the changes I see then I shouldn't have ever gotten rhinoplasty. He was very defensive and although he did offer to fix the nose, I don't think I want him to operate on me again for the simple fact that he can't acknowledge what is wrong with it in the first place. If he thinks what he has done to my nose is beautiful or even acceptable, than we clearly have different opinions on what is NATURAL and attractive.
I've had 2 consultations with surgeons in my city to discuss my options to fix the nose. Both surgeons brought to my attention little things that are wrong with the procedure that surgeons should know to do. For example, the stitching is very sloppy. This procedure has scarred me both physically and emotionally so I really don't want to do revision rhino. I'm most likely going to get fillers to try and correct the problem.

Currently
What I like about my nose:
It's smaller.
What I don't like:
1) My bridge is too narrow for my face
2) My tip is WAY TOO upturned
3) My nostrils are still uneven in size and different shape
4) The profile sticks out too far.
5) Hanging columella
I'm waiting for ALL swelling to decrease before I give my final review.

He called this morning
Got a phone call from him this morning. He assured that it is swelling and that the curve down the centre of my nose is due to swelling as well. He then said the nostril looks sliced because of swelling in my tip. From doing research many surgeons use a steroid shot in these situations but he said he isn't concerned about my swelling and I shouldn't worry about that. He also said swelling moves from one side to the other depending on how you sleep. He said in a month I should send him pictures again. I just hope he's right and it heals well because I'm a student and saved for a long time to get this. I don't have money to see other doctors like Dr. Boahene to fix me up. Prayer is free though, so I'm banking on that :) . Stay blessed, I'll update in a few.

This doctor is very sweet and soft spoken BUT when it comes to his skill or talent as a surgeon, I would not recommend him. Unfortunately I made a terrible mistake by choosing this doctor. The nose I have been left with has left me depressed and has changed me for the worse. The doctor has never even contacted me first to ask about my recovery. The only time he has contacted me is when I email frequently first. I went to 2 different surgeons to discuss a revision and both were so disgusted with my results compared to my before. PLEASE do not go to this doctor. He will use you as practice.
