Hi,
I had closed septorhinoplasty 4 days ago. I woke up this morning with my cast missing. I don’t know how it got out. Splints are still on. I put the cast back on with tape and call the number I recieved from hospital. They just told me to put the cast back on. Have anyone any experience losing cast? I’m worried, cause it wasn’t doctor or my surgeon or anyone who was familiar with me, who answered the phone.
I had septoplasty last month and I know that I only to correct the septum/make more of an airway to the obstructed nostril / cut nasal bone where needed, but number 1 my septum is still deviated, I can breathe slightly better through the nostril that was obstructed. However my nose still looks bent and is out of shape due to many different factors, should I try to get a rhinoplasty? I have had enough of it :(
It’s 10 days out- Questioning everything from „is it worth it?” to „am I someone who gets plastic surgery?” To „should i just accept my current appearance as my peak & stop trying to change things?”
My surgeon is great but I’m having nightmares of botched surgery and fearing revision and fearing the identity crisis that might come after. I dont hate my front view but don’t like how wide it feels in the middle (where the bump is)
We decided on a slight swoop with a tip break & are increasing the columella angle for a more overall feminine shape and vibe. I’m low key worried that it won’t fit my face & that my tip is too large to look good supported with a swooped ridge. A straight nose looks boring and weird to me and not something I want at all.
I’ve done a dozen edits at this point and keep taking photos of myself and hate how unsure I still am
I’m not postponing/ delaying bcuz I can’t go thru this again, if I cancel I cancel & I learn to live with my nose somehow 😌
Plz help.
I have a very straight bridge and am looking for a subtle change like in the second picture. Any recommendations for LA surgeons who could give a similar result?
Hi guys! I have already done my consultation with Doc Joyce Regalado and plan nya na i osteotomy ako and tip defatting since mataas naman na bridge ko but still bilugan ang tip.
After ko naman mag gala-gala sa tiktok, okay naman reviews sa Meraki and ok din ako sa natural looking nose na gawa nya na nakita ko. Pero dito ako natakot sa reviews sa reddit huhu. Virgin nose po ako and umabot po yung quote ko almost 200k.
What do you think po? Should I go for it or hanap ulit muna ako iba? Baka po may ma-recommend kayo :(( My operation po will be on July 1.
Thank you!
This patient is over four years post-op following rhinoplasty surgery to address a bulbous, droopy, and asymmetrical nasal tip along with a dorsal hump. Her results show a narrower, more refined, and feminine nasal appearance with improved symmetry and balance, while still maintaining a completely natural look. We’re thrilled she allowed us to share her beautiful long-term outcome.
My right nostril is higher than the left and they look uneven 😭 is this temporary? Has anyone had this exact issue?
After hating my nose since I first realized it looked shitty when I was seven years old... After knowing full well that if I had a more proportionate nose, I would look like a model (Morphs confirm)... After years and years of research, saving money and picking a doctor... I AM *NOT* GETTING A NOSE JOB!!!
(For reference, my nose has a slightly high bridge, is a bit wide, has a bulbous bifid tip with skin so thin you can see the cartilage through it- it has a slightly deviated septum and points off a little to one side- has noticeably two different sized nostrils!!! The real crazy part is... I'm still kinda cute with this monstrosity!!!)
Anyway - Why?! Why would I curse myself forever with this nose?!!
Well- I breathe really, really well (no snoring either!) My nose is also very strong, can't push the tip down. Like you can't. Takes a punch like a champ! After reading about so many people who can't breathe the same after a rhino... I just can't do it to myself. I gotta breathe, man. I GOTTA BREATHE. I was also really interested in becoming a boxer. I thought - it's either nose job or boxing. Well, looks like boxing's back on the menu, boys!!
I suppose I shall have this wacked out honker for life! And LOVE it! Not because it's pretty... Because, for the first time ever, I just appreciate how I've never had a single breathing issue EVER.
I used to scoff when people said "learn to love your nose" and rightfully so- it's ugly! No, I was never going to love this thing for its appearance! It's utter nonsense when people say "but it's so *original*" yeah- originally UGLY.
I didn't try to love my nose. Just reading so many people's struggles with just being able to breathe made me love my nose against my will.
Hi everyone - I’m struggling to find responses to my situation re rhinoplasty cast removal. Most people experience the avatar major swelling upturned look, however I am the opposite.
I am 14 days post op, and 2 days post cast removal for rhinoplasty and septoplasty.
My surgeon specialises in preservation and structural techniques and very natural results. I specifically asked for a subtle refinement - to refine my bulbous nose, correct asymmetry on the sides and fix my slightly deviated septum. I told him not to touch my side profile, which is naturally straight.
When the cast was removed, my nose looked so tiny, pinched, triangular and slightly upturned. I was in absolute shock. No sign of my natural nose - and it did not suit my face whatsoever. My nostrils looked more exposed too.
My surgeon is known for being blunt so I didn’t get a lot of reassurance.
Since cast removal, I can’t tell if my nose has softened or if I have gotten used to it. I feel like I’m losing sight of reality and maybe having an identity crisis.
The ‘upturned’ look is the only thing that appears to have softened a bit. Has anyone else:
- Experienced a harshly narrow, tiny, overly refined looking nose that then softened, got ’bigger’ and redraped as their nose settled?
- Experienced tip dropping within a few days to weeks, even with graft support in the tip?
Any words of reassurance will help me a lot as I struggle with anxiety. Thank you so much.
My doc told me that nothing will ever be perfect. And to wait for the year and a half mark to see swelling go down. I told her I look like a gibbons.
I’ve struggled with my nose since I was like 10 years old but never seriously considered a nose job because I felt embarassed by the idea of people knowing. Well I’ve been kind of coming to terms with those feelings and recently feeling like I really want to fix my nose. I wish I had done it so long ago but I am realizing I have my whole life ahead and I deserve to feel good.
I honestly want more of a clean up/refining than anything else. I’m okay with embracing some of the natural shape and size (maybe even the bump) but the cartilage bothers me the most. I’m not really expecting or wanting to walk away with a button nose because that feels more extreme than what I want.
I am getting married in mid-October and I know that’s probably too soon to try to do anything but I still wanted to post and see. It’s all i can think about when I see myself. I think the lead up to the wedding just has been a mental thing because I know I won’t feel completely confident with my nose as it currently is. I’m also just thinking if I invest so much money, it’d be nice to have it done before my biggest life event when 200 people have their eyes on me.
I really wish I had gotten to this point where I felt ready to forward just a few months ago at least. I know it’s probably way too close. But any insight or even just advice on how to cope would be so appreciated. I’m scared my nose will be all I can see when I look at wedding photos.
Hey guys, I’m 5 months post rhinoseptopplasy and I just keep overanalyzing and I’m worried of things turning the wrong way down the recovery road :( I seen some unfortunate things for people changing even at the 10 month mark and it worries me. I have paranoia of my tip losing support (I don’t have a graft). My previous nose never dropped too too much, more so a bump. I feel like there’s a smallll slight bump forming that I think gets better when I compress it. I’m just having future anxiety and I can’t get past it:/
The truth is that I had nose surgery abroad. It’s very difficult for me to go back there, and the surgeon hasn’t been very cooperative. He told me not to touch it, not to disinfect it with anything, and not to put any cream or ointment on it. But part of the wound along the suture line opened up a little.
I honestly don’t know whether I should do anything about it or not. It has looked better over the past week, but because that area moves constantly, it doesn’t seem to heal easily.
Should I be using some kind of steroid cream, or taking antibiotics? Because my surgeon keeps telling me not to take or apply anything. Has anyone ever experienced something like this before?
The last photo shows how it looked last night.
I want opinions on if I have a case for medical malpractice, I had a septoplasty/functional rhinoplasty in November 2024, the first pictures are before the surgery, the rest of the pictures are at least 11 months after surgery.
Hi everyone! How long did the rhinoplasty process take for you, from scheduling your consult to day of surgery? I’m asking because I had a consult in December, paid my scheduling deposit, but the office isn’t giving me a surgical date. They’re saying that surgeries are trending a year after the consult date, and that they will reach out 2-3 months in advance when they have a surgical date to offer. Is this a normal timeline? And is this a normal way to schedule? They’ve moved the goalpost of my anticipated surgery date several times (I was told around a seven month wait at my consult, then I was told a 10-12 month wait when I put down my scheduling deposit in January, and I just reached out and they’re telling me over a year long wait from the patient’s consult date), and I was not told this is how scheduling would be handled at my consult. I thought I would be able to schedule my surgery, however far out, and it feels somewhat unprofessional to have a patient pay $1000 and only provide them with a vague timeframe.
Basically just wanting to know what kind of wait and scheduling process is normal, as I don’t want to pressure the office for a surgical date if this is a completely normal way to handle things. I started the process of trying to get a rhinoplasty a year ago, and to not even have a surgical date at this point is so incredibly frustrating!
I requested a whole month off cuz I don’t want to look insane in front of clients and also want to feel at least 80% good again. So from your experience will I get denied? It’s like a whole process I had to put in a request then I have to fill out a document and send to the dr and he faxs it back.
I don’t have 4 weeks pto to use so it’s like one week pto to use plus three weeks unpaid.
Hello, i’m 14 days post op, i’ve been tapping constantly like my doctor told me to,and im not too worried even, i just feel like a bit more reassurance would make me feel better, im attaching my nose and my table pics, can anyone tell me if it will become less wide at the front?
2019 - i was initially booked with Dr.asaria ($12500) turns out I was pregnant and had to cancel.
2022 - i finally was in a place in motherhood where I could think about this again. And started looking in turkey to save money (asaria was now 20k 😫)
2025 - I was booked with Dr. Deniz Dilek. 9 days before my flight there was an incident and I could not leave my kids
2026 - I’m 32 and I’ve wanted this since I was 16. I desperately want to have it done but my husband is saying “not right now”. He’s never been a fan of the idea.
I’m thinking maybe if I find a surgeon in Canada I can find childcare and say I’m going and I don’t care what you say.
But what surgeon is good with ethnic noses (I’m mixed) and isn’t 20k - and could fit me in this summer 🫠
Or just say I’m screwed.
Thank you in advance
When I posted a couple of weeks ago, I made the mistake of only using the headshots my surgeon took at my 6 month post-op appointment. In those pictures, I’m wearing makeup (including nose contour), the lighting is good, and the camera is professional.
In this post, I’m going to include the pictures I’ve taken the last few weeks (first 3 are from today), the morph my surgeon gave me, and my original nose.
Slides 1-6: current nose
Slide 7: the morph my surgeon made
Slide 8: my original front profile
Again, I’m happy with my side profile, but I absolutely cannot stand my front profile. I’m highly considering a revision and want to know if thats *still* a crazy idea even if my nose looks NOTHING like the morph/what I wanted. I’m in tears every single day over this. 😔
Please note: the reason I got my nose done was because of the large dorsal bump I used to have, nothing to do with my front profile. I grew up hating my side profile with every ounce of my being. You can see the original side profile in my previous post.
