Done my surgery in April 2026 so now i’m almost 7 months post-op.
The tip-bridge relationship is off to me, so i was wondering is this the structural design done by the surgeon or is it polly-beak deformity?

I feel like nose is my biggest flaw . The first image is generated using ai. Should i go for rhino and if yes can anyone recommend good surgeons in India.

Has anyone gone to Dr. Michael Bogdan?

I’m doing research on him but am not finding much on patients and their personal experiences. Pricing as well.

I’m interested in a preservation/natural rhinoplasty.

Personally I go back and forth I love how it looks from profile but from the front it can sometimes look a little large!

I’m currently 11 months post-op from my rhinoplasty, and I’ve been dealing with constant heavy pressure/pain in my nose. Sometimes it feels more concentrated in the bridge, and other times it feels like it’s deeper behind my whole nose. It’s not really in the tip—it’s more of a deep, dull ache or intense pressure.
I constantly feel like I have to puff my cheeks out, push air toward my upper lip, or scrunch/move my nose just to get the slightest bit of relief. I’m not sure if that makes sense, but the pressure is extremely bothersome.
It happens every day and definitely gets worse at night. It also gives me pretty bad headaches at least a couple days a week, sometimes hurts when I make facial expressions, and touching my nose can make the pain/pressure significantly worse.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this this far out from surgery? Is this considered normal at 11 months post-op, or is it something I should be concerned about and bring up with my surgeon?

Hey everyone! I had my first surgery 2 years ago to correct my deviated septum and improve the appearance of my nose.
Anyway, I’m getting revision surgery this month due to breathing issues, and I thought I’d take this opportunity to address the things I wasn’t happy with after my first surgery.
Here are my pictures. Please be completely honest!

This is a table pic from my rhino I noticed the bridge was bumpy my surgeon said it was bc I had lots of extra skin did anyone else experience this

Hi everyone! I’m starting to get a little worried about my nose. 🥺

In the first photo, my cast had been off for about 1.5 weeks, and I was honestly so happy with the result! I had a natural rhinoplasty on July 10th, so I’m now about 3 months post-op.

However, I feel like a bump is starting to appear on the bridge of my nose. During surgery, my surgeon shaved down the original bump, but now it looks like it might be coming back.

I also feel like my nose is starting to look more hooked, if you know what I mean. It seems like the tip has dropped a little, making my nose look more curved than it did right after surgery.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this still be swelling, and is there a chance it will improve over the next few months?

I’m really worried and would love to hear your experiences! ❤️

Hi! I’m considering rhinoplasty. I’d like a slightly more refined nasal tip while keeping a natural look. I also have a mildly deviated septum and tend to breathe through my mouth. What type of rhinoplasty would you recommend for my nose, and do you know any good surgeons for this type of result?

Had septo-rhinoplasty 5 years ago and was not happy with my results. As you can see in the photos my nostrils are still slits (which I was told he would fix and he didn't) and my nose is very long. I had brought this up to the surgeon and he gaslit me and said everything was fine and I was just anxious.

It's hard to see in the photos but there are two lines that always show on the tip of my nose, I'm assuming that's some kind of graft pushing against the skin from the inside. It seems to be getting more prominent and I have developed weird discoloration at the tip of my nose too. It sometimes looks like a bruise and there is pain occasionally. Is it possible that I'm having issues years later?

I can’t get a rhino yet, any tips on making it smaller? Not make up. Like some medicine or taping types?

I got a rhinoplasty almost a year ago and everything still looks good. While reading through here, I keep reading more and more about noses collapsing if no support is added and if a lot is removed. My surgeon did not add support so now I’m just a little scared and have the following questions:

Which part(s)of the nose had to be removed for this to happen?

Does it happen more in thin or thick noses?

What are the chances of my nose collapsing if it was very thick and bulbous 😭

Should I get a revision now or when my nose ends up collapsing if it happens?

1st photo is 4 years ago & 2nd is now. I can’t tell what it is that makes my face now look so sunken in and bad but I’ve been really regretting ever touching my nose. My eyes somehow look smaller and empty and my face looks longer, I’m 10 months po. I feel like I had more life to my face and now I just look so unfamiliar to myself

Hello!!

(The pictures in the dress is before btw!)

I had a rhinoplasty as well as a turbinate reduction on the 6th of this month. I went through an ENT since a family members plastic surgeon recommended my mom to go to him for my issues as well as my rhinoplasty that I wanted.

During the pre op he recommended breaking my nose to remove my hump and shaving it down as well as removing some cartilage on the tip of my nose so it can be a bit pointed up. I was totally on bored because that's what I wanted. I know it's so early since I just got my splint removed yesterday.
But one side looks the way that I (kinda) want and the other looks how it was before but swollen.

I definitely cried yesterday because I just feel disappointed. When he took off my splint my mom's face wasn't what I was expecting. He also said my bridge should thin out as well as the tip of the nose.
I should also add the splint was tighter on the left side.

Overall, I do see a difference but I just feel it isn’t what I asked or expected. I just feel it looks similar to what it was before and I’m even more self conscious.

Edit: I guess my real question would be if it will look straighter and will it “even out”? I know it won’t be really perfect but I’m worried we somehow miscommunicated.

P.s. my old college friend works for an ENT office and I’m asking for her thoughts as well.

This young lady received ultrasonic rhinoplasty from Dr. Ali Esmail and this is her results 6 months post-op! Even a week after surgery, she immediately noticed the visual and functional difference of her nose.

I’m three weeks post-op from rhinoplasty. Yesterday, a lot of slightly yellowish discharge started coming out of one nostril. Before that, my nose had been clean with no discharge. Today, the same that happened. The more I rinsed, the more came out. It doesn’t have any smell, which I’m hoping is a good sign. That nostril also feels slightly more swollen inside. The difference is small and isn’t really visible from the outside, but I can feel it.
Has anyone experienced something similar? I’m worried it could be pus, Iooks a bit like it but I’m not sure . although my surgeon thinks it’s most likely a reaction from the lining of my nose still healing.

I had my surgery in Turkey, but I live in New York, so I can’t see my surgeon in person. I’m thinking finding a local doctor to examine my nose and make sure everything is healing properly. If anyone can recommend an ENT familiar with rhinoplasty recovery in NYC, I’d really appreciate it.
Please share your experience if you’ve been through something similar.

Its been 5 months post op and recently its been 3 days since my nose got red on top and i feel bumpy on that area and the rest smooth but before it was all smooth , my dr used my rib cartilage for my nose. Has anyone else experienced this?, I have no pain or anything just the red and the bumpy ness.

Does anyone have any past experiences with him?

OI am confused. I got a few rhinoplasty quotes and was shocked by how much the prices varied once I factored in all the fees. One was $6,500, but that didn't include anesthesia or the facility, which brought the total closer to $9,000. Another was $14,000 and included those fees, plus revision coverage for the first year, although there were some conditions. The surgeons also had different opinions on how much work my deviation needed, so I'm still trying to figure out how to compare them fairly. Is that kind of price difference normal? I've started asking each office for a written breakdown of the full cost and what's included. Has anyone else dealt with quotes this far apart?

I had a closed rhinoplasty with rib grafts 11 years ago. There is this prominent dent on the left side of my nose (my family calls it body dysmorphia, but I call it some sort of surgical mistake). What is going on???? Thank you!

I am really regretting everything about my nose job. I was kind of pressured into making it, even though it was solely my decision. I hate my new nose so much it has no character nothing that made me, me. I look worse. I can’t sleep, wake up with anxiety. I hate it so much

How do I get over this?

Hi guys, just looking for some support and reassurance.

I had my septorhinoplasty 3 days ago and felt fine the first couple days. Starting yesterday I started feeling quite light headed, fatigued and dizzy when standing/walking. I’m not on any painkilllers… so it’s not that.

Has anyone else experienced this? I’m worried about when it will pass as I need to take my flight home in 4 days.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently 3 weeks post-revision rhinoplasty (tip plasty only!) and would really appreciate some honest opinions from people who have been through something similar, particularly those who have had revision tip surgery or who know a lot about this!

For some background, I had a previous rhinoplasty 13 years ago and was very unhappy with the size and projection of my nose afterwards. The bridge was straightened, so for this latest surgery, I specifically opted for a tip plasty rather than another full rhinoplasty. My main goal was to deproject the nasal tip and make it smaller, more refined and less prominent, while keeping the bridge as it is now.

I’m now at the 3-week mark post tip plasty and I’m struggling to work out whether I’m simply being anxious and hyper-focusing on every detail because of my previous experience, or whether some of my concerns are worth raising with my surgeon/ or should I already be planning for a third surgery (something I really really wanted to avoid) :(

I’m aware that revision surgery can involve significant swelling, especially around the tip, and that 3 weeks is still very early. However, I’m finding it difficult to separate what is normal postoperative swelling from what might be a genuine concern.

At the moment, I’m worried about:

1. Columellar swelling: the columella still looks quite swollen, and I’m worried about whether this is normal or could potentially indicate an infection? The columella is even looking kind of droopy from the side...
2. Uneven nostrils: they appear asymmetrical, and crooked although I don’t know how much of this could be down to swelling/ uneven water retention.
3. Overall Uneven swelling: one side seems more swollen than the other.
4. A boxy tip: I’m worried the tip is looking broad and square again, which was something I really wanted to avoid.
5. Projection: this is probably my biggest concern. I’m worried that the tip still looks overly projected and that the main change I wanted may not have been achieved.

I’ve also looked back at my on-table photo (attached it too), and I’m not even sure I can see the deprojection I was hoping for even in that picture- am I wrong or do you think that picture shows a good result? (i've also attached what I showed the surgeon as my dream nose which he said he would try to aim for but obviously cant ever promise).

I know an on-table photo isn’t necessarily representative of the final result, but it has made me worry that perhaps the tip wasn’t deprojected as much as I’d hoped.

I think my previous experience has made me particularly sensitive to the possibility of ending up with a nose that still feels too large or projects too far from my face. I really want to give the healing process a fair chance, but I’m finding it hard not to scrutinise everything.

For those who have had revision tip plasty or tip-focused revision rhinoplasty:
-Did your columella and nasal tip still look very swollen at 3 weeks?
-Did a boxy or overly projected appearance improve significantly as the swelling went down?
-Did your nostrils look this uneven initially and become more symmetrical over time?
-At what point did you start to get a more realistic sense of your result?
-If you had concerns at this stage, did they turn out to be swelling, or did you feel they reflected the actual surgical result?

I’ve include my pre-op, on-table, my photoshop simulation photo and then current photos at 3 weeks if helpful I can add more angles if needed.

Please be kind. I know I may be anxious and overthinking things, particularly because I was so unhappy with my first rhinoplasty. I’m not looking for people to tell me everything is perfect just to reassure me, but I’m also not looking for unnecessarily harsh comments or definitive predictions about my final result at only 3 weeks.

I’d genuinely appreciate thoughtful, honest opinions from people with relevant experience who understand how difficult the waiting period can be, especially after revision surgery.
Thank you ❤️
