34 Years Old...... Finally Got a New Nose – United Kingdom

Hi, thank you for your comments. It is very much like a piggy nose and it is driving me mad :-(. I just hope it settles soon :-)

Hi Lyndseyp, I was just wondering how you were getting along? I am now 10 days post op and like you my nose is so unbelievably upturned and piggy even people who have never met me before can instantly tell its not the nose I was born with! I knew even before the cast came off! everytime I changed the bandage I could see piggy nostrils staring back at me. I sent a picture to the handful of friends that knew I was having rhinoplasty and they were shocked and said it looked bad, but I did ask them to be completely honest and not sugar coat it, they did try and reassure me tho that its early days and i should give it more time. But time can feel like forever when ur one of the unfortunate ones who end up looking like an alien after surgery. I have to walk around the house with a bit of bandaging over the front of my nose, as I keep catchin sight of it in the mirror and I just burst into tears, I literally don't want to leave the house. Ive scoured the internet and watched videos and looked at photos and a lot of peoples pics are an acceptable nose shape post op, just swelling really, but you can see a nose shape. Mine is just like a barrel on my face. Im seeing my PS on Wednesday to discuss my fears, but my nose is that far in the heavens I can never see it coming back down to earth.

Hi sweetie, do you have a picture you could sent to me? I can inbox you my email address? I understand totally where you are coming from. I freaked out really bad after the operation I was in tears saying that I looked like a pig and I was scared about what I had done. I've just put some pics on my profile. I'll inbox you my email address now xx
