I’m just over 3 weeks post-op from my revision rhinoplasty and I’m really worried about my radix/upper bridge.

My surgeon used diced cartilage from my nose (septal cartilage) to smooth/fill the area. I didn’t ask for my radix to be filled, and I really miss the dip I had between my forehead and nose. I feel like that dip helped separate my forehead from my nose and made my profile look much more natural and feminine. I feel like I’ve had one of my natural features taken away, and I really miss it.

I know I’m still swollen and it’s very early, but the radix feels like pure bone when I touch it, which is making me worry that the bridge has been built up too much. From the way it looks, I personally feel like my bridge has been made too high/full and it looks masculine.

The angle I’ve attached here honestly isn’t even that bad, but I’m posting it because it shows how high the radix is. From other angles it looks much bigger and more noticeable, which is what’s really upsetting me. The 2nd photo is pre-op, bit blurry and with makeup but shows my lower radix which is I wanted to keep! It makes for a smooth transition down to the nose now the higher radix, and bigger bridge makes my nose look bigger, as it’s a straight line down from my brow to my nose.

I personally feel like I would have looked better with a lower radix and with my natural dip preserved. I don’t want to be told that my nose looks good or that I should just be happy with it — I’m specifically asking whether people think the radix could become lower/more defined as the swelling goes down.

Has anyone had diced septal cartilage used to smooth/fill their radix and then had their natural dip become visible again during healing? Does the swelling around the cartilage make the area look much more filled at 3 weeks?
I’m honestly really upset about losing this feature and I’ve even started thinking about a third revision with another surgeon if it stays this way. I know it’s far too early to make that decision, but I’m struggling with how different my profile looks.

Do you think my dip could realistically come back as the swelling settles, even though there is diced cartilage underneath?

Guys, I posted a picture earlier and a lot of people said I don’t need rhinoplasty 😭 I really appreciate that, but personally, there are a few things about my nose that I’ve always wanted to change—especially my round nostrils and flat/low bridge.
I’m now seriously looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon in Turkey who has good experience working with Asian noses and similar nose structures.
I’m posting my pictures from different angles so you can understand exactly what I mean. If you’ve had a similar nose or know a genuinely good doctor who specializes in this, please drop their name below. Personal experiences would be really helpful too. 🤍
Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a rhinoplasty surgeon in Turkey/ Istanbul, who has experience working with noses like mine. I have a low bridge, rounded/wider nostrils, and a bulbous tip. I’m attaching my pictures for reference. If you know a skilled surgeon who is particularly good with this type of nose and focuses on natural, proportionate results, please share their name.

An interesting Turkish case involving a face and neck lift. The higher court said the assessment should not stop at whether the outcome could medically be classified as a complication. The result expected from the aesthetic procedure also had to be examined.

Hi guys I want some surgeon recommendations-my nose is very wide and long and tip is very bulbous(the first 2 images are my nose) and ik most surgeons are good with side profile but I’m also wanting a really good front profile a slim bridge and also a slim tip and deprojection. I want a Cindy/ natural Barbie nose

Hi all I’m seeking a revision rhinoplasty because I did not achieve the results I asked for my primary rhinoplasty. I’ve attached my current nose now and an edit of what I want to achieve with the revision. Before anyone comments that it doesn’t look bad, yes I agree but the insecurity I wanted to correct is still there and it’s very frustrating. My tip is still pretty bulbous 2 years post- op and I feel like my doctor made my the bridge to tip transition a little off, as in there is a supratip break that i did not want and am hoping it can be corrected with a revision , I will ask for a straight bridge to tip transition. My question is what this type of surgical technique it would likely include? would i need any grafts or rib cartilage or would it likely just be through using sutures ? if cartilage or grafts are necessary, would they look bulky or visible and thick? for reference i have thick skin. Thank you to my everyone who replies 🙏

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice. Has anyone been through something similar or has any idea what might be happening? I’m honestly feeling quite distressed.

I had my rhinoplasty exactly two months ago, and I’m still not sure whether I love or hate the result.

My nasal tip looks very prominent from the front, with quite a lot of projection, almost as if it’s too long and rounded/bulbous. Could this still be swelling, and is it likely to go down and become more refined with time?

Do you think the overall shape of my nose will improve as the swelling goes down? Could the projection decrease and the tip look shorter as the swelling subsides?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who experienced something similar around the two-month mark. ❤️

First 7 pics are now. The last 2 my nose before op

I had a bulbus tip and a childhood break casuing my nose to lean to the right. Heres the results after sugery so far. The surgeon said it was not possible to make it straight but has improved the appearance. Super happy that it looks natural and like my nose.

Last 3 pics - now (bridge higher, nose made structurally bigger, dip filled in)

I’m feeling really worried about my result and would appreciate some honest opinions from people who have had revision rhinoplasty.

I want to make clear that I don’t think my nose is botched and I know I’m still very early in healing. My main concern is that I feel my bridge has been made too high/full, and I didn’t ask for my bridge to be filled.
My surgeon has told me there is a very small amount of diced cartilage there, using leftover cartilage from my nose, to smooth the surface. I didn’t have rib cartilage. He also says the area is mainly swelling and that I need to wait 3–4 months.

I’m struggling because when I look at my side profile, my nose looks much larger and higher than before. I’ve attached photos from immediately after my primary rhinoplasty too. Even though my nose was very swollen at that point, I still had the dip in my bridge and my side profile looked smaller.

I’m not sure exactly what was done during my revision, but if the bridge wasn’t so high, I honestly think I’d be happy with the result.

I’m worried that because structural changes were made, once the swelling goes down, the bridge will still remain too high and my profile will still look large. I’ve even started thinking about whether I could eventually need a third revision, although I know it’s far too early to make that decision.

Has anyone else had a revision where their bridge looked significantly higher/full at 2 weeks and then came down considerably? Or did your structural changes remain quite similar once the swelling settled?

I wish I had chosen another surgeon.

I’m 18 days post op revision (I know I’m too early to come to any conclusions but I’m still worried). My right side profile is hugeeee!! And it’s much bigger than what it was right after my primary surgery, but surely should be smaller as it’s my 2nd surgery? I was worried and asked my surgeon if he added cartilage to the bridge and he said he didn’t. The top of my bridge feels very hard and bone like so I’m not sure if he’s restructured my cartilage or something or if it genuinely is swelling… I had a ‘scoop’ or ‘dip’ at the top of my bridge I wanted to keep and now it goes all the way down and looks like I have filler at the top of of my bridge which I hate, if it is genuinely swelling then I’d be relieved but I’m worried it’s not. 1-4 pics are right now post revision surgery, 5&6 images are 5 years after primary. Last image is 2 weeks after primary surgery where it was very swollen, same right profile where you can see the ‘dip’ at the top of my bridge and looks much smaller than my post revision surgery results ? So that’s why I’m soo concerned that it’s more than swelling :(

hi okay so, i have a nose bump and my alar base is a bit wide for my liking and my columella seems too low (not sure if that’s normal). the first three photos are mine (left, right, middle shots) and the last two are photos of what I want (I want a straight nose bridge with a slightly upturned nose tip, still wanting it to look natural and not fake). My nose is not overly big from the front, my alar base is just slightly wide and i have a bump on the side that’s all.
I found two doctors in Türkiye; dr Onur Üstun and and dr Kadir Yücebaş. I initially wanted to go to dr Muhammet Dilber, but found out that he asks for a lot and unfortunately I’m a college student and can’t afford to pay that much lol. Also I’m Turkish so communication won’t be an issue. I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with either one of the doctors mentioned above besides Muhammet and I’d love suggestions.
two questions also: as you can see i’ve got two moles on the right side of my nose (one is flat and the other is kinda like a pimple, it protrudes). Can they remove the moles during rhinoplasty? And I have got a nose piercing, do I need to repierce my nose after getting a nose job?
thank you!!

I went to Turkey about 4 months ago to have a bunch of different procedures done in one trip 😅 I replaced my breast implants with larger ones, had my nose done, got a chin implant, jaw implants, a brow lift, cheek implants (they're small tho), and a lip lift.

The first photo was taken just a few days after surgery, hence all the bandages, swelling, and bruising. The second photo is me now, 4 months post-op.

I obviously have zero objectivity at this point after changing so many things at once, so I’d really love some outside perspective.

Does everything look balanced and harmonious? Or do you think I went too far with anything?

Please be brutally honest. I genuinely want an unbiased opinion.

Does my nose look off 6 months post op

Pretty much the title, ive also tried to take realisitc kinda bad photos of before showing the nose where it really shines as a flaw, thank you (i also have a deviates septum)

Uneven nostril is bothering me so bad. What’s the likelihood that this will get better. I had an alar retraction on the side that is big and the doctor said he managed to fix it without needing to do an alar rim graft. It doesn’t look fixed to me; I’ve seen post about uneven nostrils but nothing like mine genuinely losing hope that it will get better. Currently spiralling.
