3rd Time's a Charm? Doesn't Seem It. Toronto, ON

i don't think botched is running anymore. Botched by nature is, but its only for people who were born with a deformity.

Dr.Nassiff seems to do a good job on revisions. Have you thought about Grigoryants?

Sorry to hear that things aren't improving for you. I know what you mean about feeling self conscious. I hate what I see in the mirror now. It's such a hard thing to face day after day. Are you going to get another revision? Any doctors in mind for the job? Jason Hamilton in LA has been producing some great results and he's not quite as expensive as some of the other 'top' surgeons.

Right firstly I would like to say, breathe. Try not to get worked up even though I know it is hard. I'm going through a similar problem and have revision in a month and all I can think is that it's going to look even worse than it does now and God help me how will I cope if it goes wrong. Anyway! There is more to you than your nose , I'm sure you're an amazing person and people will see past your nose which btw isn't as bad as you say. I think perhaps let it heal and then seek the help of one of the top surgeons. I would recommend Dr grigoryants in glendale usa. He seems to give girls the perfect nose. And just try stay positive. It csn be fixed if you would like it to be ! Keep your chin up try to stay calm. And be positive [RS bleep]

Hi I personally like your nose .. u don't have that hanging columa anymore . Which I find unattractive ( I have too ) If you're seriously unhappy I would suggest getting a consult with Dr Jason Hamilton from California .. his reviews are amazing !! Best of Luck and don't be so hard on yourself ur beautiful :)

Which doctor have you been working with?

I experience the same emotions every day. The results of my surgery were so far off the mark. I can honestly say that I hate the way I look now. It's hard. Hoping you eventually find some sort of solution. :/

I hope the best for you! We revision patients have been through soo much... We do this to feel better about ourselves and instead end up with depression and issues no one understands but people in the same situation. I hope u the best and thank you for keeping us updated.

I'm sorry for all the pain you're going just stay strong and console in God. I'm having the same nightmare as you and wish I never thought about Rhinoplasty or the media didn't make it seem so routine. No one prepares you for the outcome or changes. I wish you the best of luck and hope you can find peace.

get your money back, babe.

hi.. i think your profile shots look very nice and natural. On front view your tip looks a bit swollen but ok overall. I understand about nostrils... since one of my nostrils touches too because of the retraction which i hate! I'm going see if i can get my docs to open up my nostrils so that they are not retracted or touching.. in addition to bringing down my columella. Lots to do... I've had several surgeries.... I hope you the best. Keep us updated. the depression and waiting is the worst!!!! omg. Overall I think you look natural and nice. I had the most horrible upturned nose and everyone asked if I had a nose job! awful !

It's frustrating to think about the negative effects this surgery has had - depression in both of our cases, and isolation especially in mine. I think most of us go through this surgery so we don't have to think about our noses anymore - we just want to forget about them and not feel self-conscious anymore. But the swelling in our cases has made it impossible to do that. Your posts have helped me to feel less alone in going through this, and I'm very grateful for that. Feel free to PM me anytime to discuss any of these issues - we seem to be having similar experiences.

I don't know if you saw the comments from honestfella and kepotz01 for your previous post, but they have both been dealing with prolonged swelling and have seen improvement after many months - it's worth reading what they wrote. I can see improvement in your swelling between your current and previous photos. You said you think you're seeing a pollybeak forming, but I don't see that in your photos. As the swelling moves down the nose, you might see it settle in various spots on the the tip before it dissipates - making it appear longer temporarily. I am also still dealing with stubborn swelling that is very slow to resolve. I keep trying o figure out why some people have more swelling than others. I followed my surgeon's instructions and took good care of myself with quality food and supplements...so why? Sometimes I wonder if the way tissues are handled during surgery can impact swelling.

I'm sorry your surgeon has not been more supportive. That's not okay that he dismisses the fact that you feel pain when touching certain areas of your nose and ear. Perhaps another local surgeon could examine you to put your mind at ease.

Honestly, it looks like the swelling has gone down some since the last pics. I know how you're feeling though. I'm dealing with some pretty serious regret and disappointment with my recent revision surgery. I thought I did everything right to ensure my desired outcome. Apparently I didn't. Good luck in your recovery and stay strong this year. Six more months and this nose nightmare could potentiall be over for you. Fingers crossed!
