Just wanted to tell everyone here to be patient - I had my nose done Feb 1st, 2023 and was horrified and regretted it after the cast came off.. I was so depressed because I could see my nostrils and I looked like a pig! Today, Feb 26th, I am starting to like my nose. It came down so much and the swelling is going away. I am still swollen and the tip is still stiff but I am feeling better about it now. Please be patient guys,, I promise it will come down and it’s only a matter of time. I have thick skin btw. Wish you all the best xoxo

Hello, you have no idea how your comment make me feel full of hope..I did my surgery on the 22nd of February 2023 and my tip is ridiculously upturned, my nostrils are so obvious and literally look like a Pig.. I refuse to go out without my mask on because I don't want people to make fun at me..I'm so glad I found your comment

T, I know the feeling. I remember watching/reading anything I could find on the internet all day and night to find anything that would tell me - my nostrils will get narrower, my nose wouldn’t look so upturned, and that I’ll look normal and myself again… and yes, as many will tell you, one week is basically ground zero on the healing process.. it will change. I thought my case was worse than everyone too..

@@xxXmmxx It came down at 3rd week, it is looking acceptable but not good yet. The tip came down and reduced in size, but there is still swelling from the middle of the nose to the tip, which makes it curved. I didn't like it at all. My surgeon told me that it will became straight after a while, so I'm still waiting.
I’m day 40 post op, the tip definitely dropped a little bit because the swelling on top of the tip has resolved a lot, so making it appear less upturned. However, I don’t really notice my columella graft coming down… the nasolabial angle is still a lot bigger than I like (at 115 degrees)… don’t know what I should do next 😢

Update?
Can you perform a rhinoplasty that is more subtle? I want to have my surgery in Turkey but I've noticed every surgeon there uses the same technique. It's literally a cookie cutter nose. Always too small too pointy and very Barbie-like. Can you use different techniques according to your patients desires? All I want is to remove the slight hump to straighten the bridge, and refine the tip of my nose slightly. I don't want a slope on my nose or a pointy one!

I agree with you 100% about the turkish noses. If you want that small doll-like upturned nose then go to turkey, otherwise I would advice to look elsewhere. Your nose is in the center of your face don't take any chances. Find a surgeon that makes natural looking noses, look through their photos that's very important.

The sad part is that I feel the doctor should have explained the whole process, the psychological burden with this change more extensively.
