has
this ever happened to anyone whose had
rhinoplasty? I got it 15 days ago and it
looks exactly the same! And, its making
me so depressed! Every time I look in the
mirror, I have to hold back the tears.
I'm praying that its only the swelling!
The plastic surgeon promises me that its
just the swelling but, i'm so scared he's
just b.S.Ing me! I'm so scared that I
went through all that and paid $8000 on
nothing! Has anyone had similar
experiences? Thanks in advance!

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.

Its to Soon!! Posted: 09-28-04 17:56pm
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!!

Thanks For Your Responses, Posted: 09-29-04 10:06am
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!

Just An Update.... Posted: 10-07-04 09:12am
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

Thanx For the Response Babygirl, Posted: 11-02-04 09:29am
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!

Hey What's Going On? Posted: 01-03-05 15:13pm
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

Hi Tara, Posted: 01-13-05 16:30pm
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!
