I haven't had mine done (yet.. I want to get it done it the near future) but i've done a lot of research on it. They say most people are not satisfied with their noses during the first couple of weeks.. But after a month or two when the results start to appear their opinion can change. Also, there was this show on tv (and there's so many on there now that I can't remember which one) in which they did this girl's nose. They showed her after a few days and the nose looked horrible and she hated it!! But then they showed her after a month or two after the swelling went down and it looked great!
So I would say hang in there... It's so hard to spend that kind of money and not see immediate results I can see why it would be driving you crazy.

Dont worrie iam sure your nose will go down a bit and you will start to see the changes I have has 2 nose jobs and it takes months to see the actual results I wanted my nose real sloppy and it did not seem that way after the cast came off but a few weeks later it started taking its shape and its still swollen so give it a few more weeks until you get all sad about it!!!Its been 10 weeks for me and iam still swollen!!

They definitely make me feel better. i'll just keep waiting cause i'm sure its not completely heeled yet because the tip of my nose is still hard and when I pinch the middle of my nose it still really hurts and doesn't feel right. It's just that its so frustrating to go through all that and pay that much money and then it looks exactly the same still, its just really frustrating but, i'm trying to realize I just have to wait. I mean today will be 3 weeks and I still don't see any results but, i'll still be patient! Thanks guys!

Well keep us informed!!!! Yes when the tip is hard that means that its still swolled!!!
Iams ure it will go down lots!!! Soon

hugs

Still don't see any difference in my nose at all. Its even a little bumpy now, uhhhhhh, I am so pissed! Well, i'll wait 1 more month (its been exactly 1 month and 1 day today) and if I still don't see any results I will be very pissed and look into if I can get any of my money back or if he'll give me another one for free. Well, i'm still depressed about it but, maybe one day i'll get over it (like, when I like my nose) alright guys, thanks again for your replies!

When I first had mine done @ the start I was sooo emotional just crying all the time and stuff it was weird and I criticized every single bit about it but seriously u have to wait it takes ages to go normal my doctor told me it takes a yr for all of the swelling to go down so dont worri!!! Obviously most of it is in the first mth but still.. And if it looks real bad (like totally not wat its supposed to look like) then im sure they'll fix it up for u.. Anywayz just dont worry u'll be ok

xoxoxo

Thats exactly what I always do, is just cry about it, I just feel like I spent all that money on nothing and I had so many dreams about what I wanted to do with my life now that I would be more confident and I just feel like they were just crushed. I mean my nose is still hard (the tip) so, I know its still healing but, its just so frustrating. I've been so frigen depressed all because of this! This is my 2nd time getting it done and I know it takes even longer when u get it done the 2nd time but still, its been 8 weeks! How much longer do I have to wait. Does that mean that the doctor didn't do too good of a job if its still hard after 8 weeks? Well, I have an appointment with him on the 15th so, i'll let him know of my concerns. I just hope that the swelling goes down alot cause if not then, I definitely won't be satisfied. Thanx again for your response!

Hi,

i was just wondering if your nose has gotten any better. I know I just got mine done a little over 3 weeks ago and I feel like the tip is still not as slim as i'd like. I know my doctor didn't want pictures for like 3 months after though and it's still hard and hurts to touch it (also a little numb), so hopefully the swelling will still go down significantly more? Did your swelling go down a lot more maybe by the 6 week mark? I know i'm still 3 weeks away from that mark, so I don't know, I am slightly worried, it looks better, but not what I was expecting, I can see exactly what I want at these two points and if the swelling went into there I would be so so elated! Okay, well thanks for your sharing your story I know it was probably hard to share that, but it really helped me feel better that maybe this isn't so abnormal. Hopefully things have gotten better with you!


Sincerely,
tara

I'm not sure why it posted a new topic for this, sorry. Well, it definitley got better, there's no doubt about that but, it still isn't what I wanted for the money that I paid for it, thats all. I just don't see that much of a difference at all. And, if your only 3 weeks and you already see a difference then, you should definitely be alright. Don't bother worrying about it that early like I stupidly did. And, if your depressed at all, don't worry about that either, its a common thing to happen from the medication your taking and from the anestisia so, don't worry about that, it'll go away eventually. If you have any other questions then, please ask,
ok, hth!

I completely understand. I had rhinoplasty 2 years ago, I really don't like my nose. It is an improvement, but it seems to be more crooked, pointy, still sticks out just as far, my cartilage is now too close to my skin, so my skin looks whitish in the area, the tip still hangs a bit, it is not symmetrical, and the tip is too hard. I feel like a freak, no one says anything 2 me, but I notice it. I have been thinking about getting it redone, but I am really scared, it may turn out worse, and I don't want to go through all the pain and inconvenience again. I feel like crying too.

I'm in the same boat here. Well, sorta. I had my nose done exactly a month ago and I don't see much difference in the frontal view. I specifically specified that I wanted my nose to look smaller in the front, which is what I feel most insecure about, but it looks virtually the same after surgery. The only big difference I see is the profile view, which I am happy with. I've heard people say that, at three months post-op, you can expect your nose to look like whatever it looks like at that stage, with no more major changes. I have two more months to go, and I hope there'll be more changes because I'm definitely no satisfied with my frontal view. If anything, it looks more bulbous with the added tip. *Sigh*

I had my nose done three years ago and the doctor did a horrible job. The $5,000 he charged me should have gone to something else. My nose is a little smaller but for the money and headaches I went through it was not worth it. I researched out this doctor too but still got ripped off. My nose still has the hump in the middle and is still crooked. When the tip was reduced it just made it hang down so I hate it.

i had my first ever rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago nd im not happy with the results!
i mean i knw its only been 2 wks but i feel like it should have started 2 take its shape by now. im happy with my profile as that was a major issue before surgry as it was so wide but now its how i pictured it,,only concern is the front! it used to bony and narrow so it looks slim but now its gotten wide and its completey changed my face. i cant stop cryi ng!

i did my nose 3 months ago,i was happy with it until i got it nocket out from my kid. it looks like its on one side.. so the docter said he will do it again for me i am going into surgery 2day iam worried because everyone is telling me u can't do 2 nose jobs in one year,,, but the docter said i can. so i will.. i am not going to stay 1 year with a crooked nose...

I had my first rhinoplasy 7 months ago and I am unhappy with the result. My surgeon raised the tip of my nose and now my nostrils look to big for my face, also you can see up my nose more. I feel as though I have a snout trout - well it's not terribly raised but I definitely prefer my old nose. My new nose now looks too small. As far as the healing goes they say 1yr but to be honest my nose hasn't changed much at all except the tip is not swollen anymore. I encourage anyone who is considering Rhinoplasty to really think seriously about going through with it. It seems exciting and you think it will change your life but I can tell you all I've done for 7 mths is cry. I am also seeing a counsellor as the grief is so overwhelming. My nose was quite lovely before, I just had a slight bump but now my nose has been completely remodelled. Don't get me wrong, the surgeon didn't do a terrible job it's just not what I wanted at all. I think surgeons have an idea in their head of what they want your nose to look like although it's usually not what you want your nose to look like. (or perhaps I just selected the wrong surgeon) I feel as though I look quite different from the front. Does anyone have any advice or comments? I am considering revision rhinoplasty but am so traumatised by my first operation I don't know if I could handle another disappointment. This has completely changed my life and I only hope that one day I will begin to heal (mentally) from this ordeal.

Oh I forgot to mention... The operation also altered the length between my nose and upper lip (I had an open Rhinoplasty). Now when I smile I can see less teeth and it looks a bit odd. Has anyone experienced this?

frommetoyou I am dealing with the same problems,only all I had done was a columellar excision the reduce my bulbous tip and I regret it 0. I am severly depressed and am now seeing a counselor as well, my nose was perfectly fine before this but it was all I ever thought about. I'm only a month and a half post-op.

Hey from me to you,Mark here your post regarding your 7 mth ago procedure is amazing. Browsing through websites i come across your post and not sure how to use this website but if anyway possible to get in touch with you regarding how you are today regarding your procedure.I can honestly say my conditions are almost indentical to yours, its as though i wrote your post, i am deeply traumatised and paranoid of this whole ordeal. Please reply

Hi all, seems all are quite disappointed about your nose job! Have u consulted your surgeon after rhinoplasty? Ask where u go wrong? After all, its your face,you must feel and look good.
May I suggest u something? I knew a surgeon-Dr. John Diaz. His patient's success stories are phenomenal. You can consult him-ph.no.310-770-9949
