Been wanting to get my nose done since high...

Been wanting to get my nose done since high school, finally got a chance to do it. I had my surgery done on April 14th and all I can say is that I'm starting to doubt my choice of doctor. I had a few consultation done by other doctors but Dr. Clark is the only one who I felt reassuring at that time because he was the only one who showed me his rhinoplasty work. Long story short please do your research and look for a nose like yours and see the FINAL results. I might be just 2 weeks out but not truly happy with what I'm seeing now. Dr. Clark might be the best in the Caucasian side but not so much in the Asian area. I'm still left with a bulbous nose even after he gave me a kenalog shot which he said he was going to make it look beautiful according to his computer imaging. I may have a nose bridge but now it is looking crooked, I also told him how my airway is uneven but he said not to worry because I'm still swollen. I'm truly praying that my nose will heal beautifully but for now this is me ranting about it and hopefully I'll be able to help someone out.

I'm sorry to hear you're not happy with your surgery. I just had my nose implant removed after being unhappy with the results. I also thought my plastic surgeon was one of the best but soon realized he wasn't experienced with Asian noses. I agree that you have to research your doctor thoroughly. If you have an Asian nose make sure your doctor is very experienced with Asian rhinoplasty. I hope your nose will eventually turn out fine.

tracking my recovery

Since after my surgery I swelled up like a ball, I'm keeping a record of the daily changes to my nose. Reading from all the other post, all the doctors were saying that it's a waiting game for the nose to recover. Since I truly have no patience, I'm doing this to keep me from my sanity.

Not to be rude or please don't think I'm mean, but he messed up your nose, you should get it remove asap. I had a nose job from Vietnam and overall loving it. I have a friend that got her nose done here and in LA, got infection during pregnancy, it eat up her nose, she literally only have two holes, it's very sad! Than after giving birth she removed it, than wait after awhile to go get it fixed with a doctor specialized in fixing birth defects, it turns out better than what she had, but not good enough or normal enough still see that it's been damaged, she had it for a few years. than after I got nose job, and I told her I got it from Vietnam, she went there and got it fixed and it turn out and looks really good now, like nothing ever happen to it before. That's why I'm telling you to remove asap so you can go get a fixed when you do a better research. Honestly I think that nose job, eyelids you should definitely go to Asia to do it, they do a better job there. I got a boobs and to one if the top doctor and I'm not happy with my results, and now that I'm comparing with some girls I know that went to Vietnam or got boobs from Vietnam, the results is so much nicer, compared to any work here, even with the best. Wish I got it done from there instead, something about Asian, we usually good with hands on work. I hope you don't think I'm rude, is just that with my bad boobs job results, I hated when people lie to me, when no its not OK or looked fine, I know something wrong and you yourself the only one dealing with it, like don't lie to me like I'm Stupid and say I look good, it's affect you emotionally and literally really bring you down. Well good luck on what you planning to do.

I went to Dr. Suh at JW Clinic in Seoul. He only does rhinoplasty and primarily Asian rhinoplasty. He is also an expert at revisions. Please private message me if you want to see photos or have any questions about my experience. Good luck.

Thank you so much for sharing your story!! I hope your nose is looking better now. If not, I hope you got enough saved to get a revision. Wishing you the best!!
I hope it's just swelling and that you're happy in the end, too! Thanks so much for sharing on RealSelf. Was the Kenalog shot painful?
