I just saw my comments on my last update and I'm sorry i didn't get back to anyone! I never got any alerts about them.
But i did get a private message asking if I got it fixed and no I haven't. I have just been contouring the hell out of it to hide the imperfections. I took 2 photos just now, one with flash and one without. You can see the pinched middle and uneveness more so with the one with the flash. Don't mind my makeupless face! Ha. I haven't talked to any drs about a revision yet. Honestly i don't know what I'll end up doing. I'm almost afraid something bad will happen or it will look worse. But at the same time i really dislike how it looks now. I'm just thankful for contouring at this point!!

2 years later. V deformity? Ugh.
It's been 2 years and my nose it crooked with what it seems to be a 'v shape deformity'. Hardly any bRidge is left in the middle and I still have a bulbous tip. From the side it doesn't have a nice slope. It has a raised bump on the end. I also had 2 bumps on my nose due to glasses and those are still there. My nose just looks like smashed playdoh someone threw on my face. The only way I can make it appear straight and even is when I contour it with makeup.

I do t know if it's an inverted v for certain, but there are a few shadows in your first picture that give an illusion. I'm not sure if that's shadows either. I don't dislike your nose FYI. However, if it's not what you wanted and if there is an inverted V I can see why you'd be less than thrilled with the outcome. Have you brought this up with your surgeon? Perhaps there is a resolution that he can make. If not the next decision is whether or not to leave it be or consider revision. If your already considering revision it would be a great idea to bring up your nose with your primary care physician and allow him or her to offer referrals for you, which would be a great place to start. Either way take your time deciding on whether to get a revision or not and don't let anyone else influence you and certainly take your time selecting a doctor. I hope everything works out for the best.
What's an inverted v?
I had mine done by him too. But I wasn't happy with the results. It's lumpie, bumpier, still not straight and I too have no middle. I went to another dr. About revision surgery. They told me my deviated septum was never corrected and it's "pinched" in the middle.

When did your nose change? It looked great in the pictures on your March 23rd post. Did you talk to the surgeon who performed the surgery?
Have you spoken to any revision specialist? Or do you think you'll be ok with your results? I hope it's looking better.
It looks like you have an inverted v and pollybeak deformity when scar tissue forms right above the tip. Have you had any consultations with any other surgeons? I’m currently In The process myself. I’m sorry you’re going through as well. There seems to be a lot of us

bridge bothers me
Bridge is really the only thing that bothers me at this point, it's still as wide as before when I compare pics. And it's hard like bone so I don't think it's swelling there

Your swelling is definitely improving!! There's been a massive change between the 19th March and 23rd March and it looks like it's only going to get better!
You look awesome, girl! I was more swollen than you and I seriously did not see a major decrease in swelling until 8 months. Of course I am sure crying every night didn't help, lol. You have such a ways to go! You only just did it this month! Stay distraced ;)
Your nose looks so good! Def swelling went down a lot!
You really do look fantastic! AND, the swelling really has come down. I'm so glad for you!
Wow! you look great! Very happy for you. The tip looks smaller and refined.
