My doctor never told me any of this. I had a revision rhinoplasty, septoplasty (6.5 hours). He fixed a mess from the last doctor and I had a deviated septum. I’m worried that my columella is not going to be flat. It wasn’t flat out of surgery, after everyone else’s rhinoplasty vlogs that I see, show their columella flat, mine wasn’t. That was my main concern. I’ll be 1 month post op this week. Trying to stay positive and to be patient. 🙏
I keep rewatching this video to comfort myself. I had an osteotomy septorhinoplasty. I’m 5 days post op. My nose is like a pig snout, baked potato, a massive thing in the middle of my face. Even massive between my eyes. I am psychologically traumatised, I see photo of my old nose and I feel so sad I’ve lost a part of me in place of an upturned potatoe. I find it difficult to imagine this Nose to disappear in a months time. In the meantime I’ll keep this video on repeat.
I’m almost 2 weeks post op. Nose isn’t as big as 5 days post op. but still big, elongated and upturned. Looks unnatural on my face and when I try to smile, everything is pulling and I feel like Micheal Jackson. Devastated. Psychologically traumatised and im keeping this threat of hope that things will be different at the 3rd month mark.
@@christinawong6573 I can relate.. But the doctor has said it is normal,so have faith on the process and focus on other things or you'll waste a lot of time!
@@Abovetheway It takes a lot of courage and strength to overcome this moment. It sucks a lot,but my recommendation is to not morbidly observe your nose for a while. Just give it several months to deflate,and once it's not swollen anymore you'll see your final result. I have been having panic attacks recently,but I manage to overcome this by simple forgetting about my rhinoplasty. If my nose will be unattractive, I'll try another time..There are always solutions in life!
Also, you don’t have a rhino to impress other people nor does it matter what you work as. They are happy within themselves so they don’t feel the need to change
Hey all, an update. I am in my 6th month. Looking back at previous photos, I can assure you my nose was still swollen at 2/3 months. I would say I am now feeling mostly normal. I guess we all heal at different rates and it really depends what kind of work was done. I am not sure I am happy with the shape of the nose however Im not going to try correcting it as it's not too much of an issue for me as its not botched job. I don't want to go down a rabbit hole of chasing perfection. Ironically I miss my old droopy nose. I think what helped me a lot in the healing process is when I focused my attention on work... anyways I know people get their nose fixed for valid personal reasons, but I think we all need to accept the unique idiosyncrasies of our faces.... those who are fresh out of surgery - don't look at the mirror, focus on what you enjoy and be patient.
@@lilmizj9685 Hello. It’s been over a year, I don’t really look at my nose close up or think about it now. I don’t want to fall into a dark hole analysing every tiny feature… at the end of the day it doesn’t stick out from the rest of my face and I’m use to it so that’s fine with me. Definitely don’t wana be one of those people revising multiple times chasing perfection.
@@christinawong6573 how did u start getting used to it. I'm 1 month and I feel like I look so different and it's so fat compared to be4. I literally cry all the time
@@lilmizj9685how r u feelin right now, I have had septo-rhinoplasty and my nose was narrow and thin but now after 2 two months it looks too wider, im very tense looking at my nose, 😔😔
My nose was smaller in the first month post op and now I’m 2 months post op and it’s actually getting bigger I’m so worried that my nose will look the same. Everyday it just seems to look bigger
It’s been over a year now and it took me a long time to get use to my new look & accept the changes I mentally wasn’t ready for tbh but I’m very happy with my results now. It also took me longer to have my desired look b/c I wasn’t taking care of myself physically / mentally and wasn’t eating right and I lost so much weight, it really was a journey for me . I also want to say if u want to get PS mentally prepare yourself TRULY, I made a very quick decision to get my nose done and planned everything out within 2 months I was 21 at the time and developed this sudden urge to get my nose done b/c I had an sudden overwhelming insecurity about it at that age. Plan many months ahead even years console yourself before doing any PS b/c fixing one thing u dislike about yourself will not rid u of insecurities sometimes it even makes u focus on other things u would like to change . Keep a positive mindset take it easy you will look way better just give it time even tho it feels horrible and love yourself and speak positively about yourself your a BAD B 😍 period and believe it 😘
@cg2436 I just took my cast off, and my nose was nice and straight, a Week later, my nose is huge and looks almost as the same as pre op, with the bump as well, im so depressed, the PS told its just swelling, and his sure it will look like the table pics, if not he will do a revision rhinoplasty free of charge.
To anyone reading this who's going through or are about to go through this process or even if you've past your 1 to 3 month mark. I'm 6 days post-op and my cast comes off tomorrow! I'm excited because I can't believe it's already been a week pretty much since I laid myself down on that surgery room bed. I came in to this process with a very core understanding that beauty is pain and that I shall never let myself believe my nose results will be what I see immediately after the surgery up to 3-6 months. Surely I'll be excited to get to my 3 week mark because I understand that by then a significant amount of swelling will have dissipated. Not accepting that as my end results either but part of the continued process of healing. From there look forward to my 1 month and then 3 month and then 6 month and so forth. Because I know that little by little my nose is attaining the shape I have gone under the knife for and that my best bet would be to look forward to the 1 year mark. But in the meantime I'm enjoying the process. See?? I think it would help to remind yourselves that no matter how awful it looks straight out of surgery to the 3-4 month mark that That is just a progression into what you are ultimately desiring in the end and all you need to know is that it will come but of course it will also take time for your body to show you how far you've come along 😊.
I watched this after my first nose job and I did end up having a revision rhinoplasty one year and five months later. I do have thick skin but my surgeon admitted he just didn’t make my nose as small as I had asked. Not on purpose of course, I guess I just wasn’t clear enough with him. It’s something to be aware of though. It isn’t always 100% swelling.
@@paularenata8822 They paid for the procedure itself but I still had to pay the anesthesia fee and (obviously) travel expenses so it still came to close to $2,000 out of pocket. They will not consider a revision procedure until at least one year post op because it can take a long time for all of the swelling to subside. I was told 90% of the swelling goes down after the first 3 months so I would definitely wait it out. It will be at least a year before you know what your nose is going to look like.
Ok i had mine over a year ago, anyone worried, trust me it doesn’t always go down. People just refuse to believe or ignore that people end up with really bad nose jobs! My surgeon personally told me it was fine and i will never be happy but people still insult it.
Just got my cast off today! totally right the thing that hit me first was the my side profile was beautiful but i was a little concerned about the front. This video made me feel soooo much better.
@@contactshahid8614 I was a niche case where my swelling was gone in about 2 weeks, I had a closed surgery but even my surgeon was surprised. I also taped every day that helps allllooot
@@khawanji9733 it’s been 8 months so pretty much completely healed up :) I still tape at night just to keep swelling away bc it’s will still swell sometimes but I’m super happy with the results !
I am someone who had a boney/large dorsal hump. I’m two weeks post op and the first thing I noticed when my brace came off was that I still have a bump. I don’t have an arch at all like my simulated photo had. I was told it is callous and will go away on its own in a few months and if it doesn’t I’ll be given a steroid injection. Aside from that my nose looked really cute and then about 4 days after brace removal my nose dropped more than I expected and my nose essentially looks exactly the same as my old nose. Not only because of the bump but also the tip as well!
@@hermionejeangranger6562 still swollen. My inferior nasal concha are swollen aswell. Went to the ENT today and he couldnt understand how they still can be swollen almost 4 months post op. He said we have to give it 2 more months. If they are still swollen he will send me to a nose unit in the hospital. I can't breath very well through my nose because of the inside swelling.
Use mild bha and aha acids, and mild retinol. This will help in getting rid of black and white heads, decrease oiliness make the pores smaller, especially if your taping your nose (as oil and dirt might build up). Do note that your skin will be extra sensitive to sunlight as a result of your surgery. and with the use of acids it will be even more sensitive, so avoid sunlight and wear your sunscreen all the time. Be gentle with your skin care and avoid scrubs or strips at all costs.
How long does it usually take a revision to fully heal? You are such an angel doc! Thank you for being so caring for patients that aren't even yours! Too kind, God bless!
I'm 4 weeks post-open rhinoplasty { "true thick skin" } & this rings true for me. When the cast came off, my nose looked HUGE. It was a discoloured potato for the first few days, but with the help of tape, the swelling dramatically subsided within the week. Now 4 weeks in, it certainly feels & looks like 90% of the swelling has subsided. I know this still isn't the end result, but I am already getting a very good idea of how it's going to look, & my nose feels much, much stronger. If you have thick skin, you definitely want to tape & keep the tape on for as long as you can. Take daily walks,. Gently exfoliate. Sleep slightly upright.
This calmed me down I keep saying nose surgery before and after 7 days and they look perfect even after only 7 days I’m on day 20 and my nose looks huge but he mentioned skin thickness and I’m so relieved now bc like my mommy I’ve thick thick skin sooo I’m calmed
@@moonwalker_-ny3um no you can't you usually have to sign that they cannot promise that the result is going to be how expected and be to be to your liking
I have a fleshy nose and will have my rhinoplasty next November, I was afraid that it will look bigger and stay bigger...hope it gets smaller after a while
I had septorhinoplasty 3 weeks ago and everything what the doctor said here is true. Your nose will get smaller and smaller every single day. I have a tick skin and right after the surgery I saw the bridge completely different (straight and smaller), but there was a lot of swelling in the tip. But then everything started to change. So don't worry, you will see a lot changes in the first 8 weeks or more. Just be patient and good look :)
@@radoslavmilev4896 thank you,that's encouraging,really , I have fear that it may go wrong and am anxious but pray it will go smoothly, and congratulations on your successful rhinoplasty
@@farahmajeedrasool4544 everything will be ok :) few more tips, the procedure is painless, but the week after it will be uncomfortable(you will not be able to breathe through your nose) . Talk to your surgeon regarding the shape you would like to achieve and the size. Remember that if you decrease too much the size it might affect your breathing, so hopefully the doctor will advise you here! And if it is slightly bigger you can always make a revision after a year. Also I had closed septorhinoplasty and probably the recovery is slightly faster than the open one. So take also in consideration what kind of sergery you will have. And finally be patient, don't judge the result before 6-8 weeks. Sometimes I see my nose really small and sometimes(after hot shower) it's way too swelled. Good luck and I'm pretty sure you will be happy!
Let me answer, your nose now looks wider than before when you smile, doesn't it? Does your smile even look weird sometimes? Have you experienced some of these things in 1 year?
It has been sox months that I went through rhinoplasty but my nostrils are very uneven. Can you please let me know whether it is normal or not ? I am deep depressed :(
The surgeon needs to pick patients carefully,the more concerned they are pre surgery,the harder they are to satisfy because of the attention given to small discrepancy
3 weeks has gone my nose became big and wide, i got removed bump and straighten my nose, why it became so huge and wide? 😢😢 people already named me “potatoe” i really want to believe it still very swollen…
I have very thin skin but after 2 weeks of my rhinoplasty still look very big and pointy. I can feel all my nose bones through the tape, am I still swollen from the bridge? I know my tip takes longer to look less swollen but is it the same for the entire nose? Thank you
I am 7 days post op. Had septo and rhinoplasty. Wow day 1, was a little swollen. Day 2 3 and 4 were my worst days. I was unrecognizable ! But i didnt lose hope. I just didnt care about my looks then. I knew this was part of the plan. Im 7 day post op now. And I'm waitinf forever patiently for results. Doc will take splint n bandage off in another 6 days. My swelling from eyes forhead and part of my cheeks has gone. Some swellinf in cheeks left and of course nose is swollen and huge. But im way better than i was 3 days ago. Its going to take a long time for results so I'm waitinf patiently. Thanks doc for this vidoe
He is calming myself, Went through my 2nd 12 days ago rhyno after 12 years ago, but the nasal tip which is not graft is nor upturn as I wanted ,and..ANYONE speaks about tall nostrils, not wide, no.. they stil move, and still tall, when I smail... it´s sooo sad ;(
Hello, I am in my 6th month and I am very unhappy. I want to ask you two questions. ❤ Did your nose look wider when you laughed in the first 6 months than before? And did your nose get thinner or narrower between the 6th and 10th months? I will be very happy if you reply, have a nice day🩷
@@contactshahid8614 There are so many times I feel like I've made the mistake of my life. I often feel like it looks coarser than my old nose. When my edema is felt very little, I am not very dissatisfied with my surgery. But even my bridge feels very swollen sometimes. I have scar tissue on the tip of my nose and on the sides of my nose, which I can feel even when my edema is low... Even the skin on the bones where my nose meets my cheeks doesn't seem to fit on my bones because it's so loose that it collapses when touched with my hand.Moreover, the middle part between the bridge and the tip of my nose looks sunken compared to the hollow bone and the tip. After all this nonsense, my mental health isn't the best.It's not exactly the look I want right now. Except for the appearance of my nose, I have no problem breathing. The cartilage inside my nostril can be felt in my hand. The right hole looks smaller than the left hole... There are no stitches on my wings. The doctor didn't touch my wings from the outside either, so I don't understand why this is the case right now. Moreover, when I put my finger into my nose to look at the tip of the right hole, there is another cartilage. I did not find any cartilage in the inner tip of the left hole. ..There are more ridiculous situations, but I don't want to talk about it anymore, my own nose was more beautiful. Moreover, I waited 8 months for this nonsense to be fixed.In short, I regret
I had a big nose tip with thick skin. My surgeon said he folded the cartilage for more support he didn't remove it. I m very disappointed and scared of the upcoming result. It's been only one week but my nose was big, so isn't it ideal to remove the cartilage?
Hi friend, I'm not a professional and I see that no one has responded to your comment. I was wondering if you sought out advice elsewhere and what in your opinion is your progression looking like these days. Seems it's been a little over two months. Have you seen any improvements? How's your healing going?
@@Light_Within It's narrower than before but he didn't worked that much on my nose . Little disappointed ...my nose was not symmetrical before but he could have made it symmetrical, That's why we go for surgery. But .......yea I can see some improvement There are still some swelling on my nose tip , i m waiting for final result.
@@Letgoodthingshappeninmylifenow i really can't see much improvement. It's very depressing actually. Why it's looking much bigger these days. I have no idea
@@MyRandomActs In this process, have you applied a massage on your nose, there are doctors who say that they benefit from the reduction of swelling in their patients who have been massaged, and massage the lymph points around the ear with your hands, maybe it will help. Don't lose hope.
I am over one year and my nose looks very bulbous and large and is hard at the tip: the tip has no definition at all I am worried and thinking if I need a revision…
@@marslove5907 im five months now ans the bridge is definitely better. I looked like avatar at first. But now it is my tip that’s extremely swollen. Hang in there bcus at 7 weeks i was still looking like an avatar with a wide bridge.
My nose was insanely big... the purpose of my septorhiniplasty was to rebuild with rib.. however, for about a year it would swell up every morning...Now it's 2 years, and I literally have a hooked downward nose when I smile.. seems like rib was added to my bridge to give it projection . However, it protrudes 3-4 from my face.. I look like a bird now.... I look even more jewish now.. this was my 3rd surgery and I'm done... no more.
@@preciouz1017 At 1 & half month is REALLY NORMAL for it to still be big. You will see better results every month and it will shrink. I also had rhinoplasty and at 2 months vs 5 months is such a huge difference. Im now 5 months post op and my tip is still swollen and more swollen at the morning. You will see it start getting better at 3rd to 4th month. I suggest for you to tape regularly untill 3rd month so u wont build up any scar tissue , and after it just when u feel like it. So plz try not to stress about it and enjoy + trust the process!
I have a bulbous nose with thick skin and have done tip correction and small hump removal without osteotomy (closed approach) and my dorsum is still bigger and the tip either. Can you give me advices that will help to decrease swelling?
don't think its even wise to think about revision at this stage. my nose was still massive at 2 months. please wait 6 months to a year. you will be surprised how much swelling is actually there. I couldn't see it at the time, looking back now, my nose was still massive 10 weeks post surgery.
@@christinawong6592 thanks for your good honest answer,I had septa rhinoplasty 45 days ago,my nose tip is too large still,hope it will go down eventually,and I’m feeling congested too,think my nose may still be swollen?
I had rhinoplasty 1½ months ago and my nose is still clogged, can't breathe through nostrils and it looks bulbous. Im afraid the surgent did a fucked up job.
I’m worried it’s not swelling. I had tip plasty with ear and my nose is so long. It’s been 3 weeks and I can see where the tip will go down but I struggle seeing the length go down. It looks like my columella is so long now :( praying for a miracle
Is it normal to have a narrow nasal valve on one nostril? Before it want there a week ago. And I am 22 days post op. Please let me know if it’s normal or not 🥲
i had that... my nostrils then looked odd.. i have now had a second rhinoplasty and septum repair to fix it.. still not happy!!!! why cant they just do what you ask !!!!! hooe you get sorted xx
@@flight101 Rhinoplasty is THE most challenging and unpredictable of all plastic surgery procedures as any good surgeon will admit. A lot of the end result will simply depend on how your individual body heals. They don't tell you that; they imply that they can get a good result, but in the end there are simply no guarantees. I had a bad result from a primary rhinoplasty and have decided to live with it. I don't need to spend another $20,000 - $25,000 to be disappointed and have a nose I don't really like.
@@heidireyes4562 good another question my doctor said that I am supposed to be pushing my hump because he broke my bones supposedly and to do that for a month. Did you do some similar or nah?
