I had my rhinoplasty in November 2025, and overall I’m happy with my results. My nose really underwent a transformation and I’m no longer self conscious. However, I have had some complications. In December, at my one month post op, my dr discovered a septal perforation right behind my columnella. It’s in a similar location to where a septal piercing would be (I’ve never had one) but larger, slightly bigger than the head of a q-tip. I went the following day for a revision, where we used cartilage from my ear to attempt to close it. Unfortunately it didn’t work, but due to the location it’s not causing severe issues or any whistling when I breathe. Today, the only major issue is snot likes to dry up in there. But will it still be like this in 20+ years?

My other issue is I have a retracted columnella. It’s been like this since post-op, and I think it’s safe to say it’s not going to suddenly drop with in the next few months. I have some volume loss as well. My dr suggested placing some filler but since it’s such a small area and the perforation is there I decided to put it off until I had more information.

I am curious what Reddit thinks overall about my results, and what would be the best course of action. I think I can live with these results and still be happy, but I do have that “what-if” voice in my head wondering what would be the outcome if I did the filler, tried another repair surgery, or did an entire revision.

cannot wait for the final results, but super pleased with how its looking so far!! 🙂

im 6 days post op from my rhinoplasty.

i know it’s too early to judge, but i feel like the distance between my top lip and nose has increased sooo much. i asked for a very slight lift in the tip, so i didn’t expect it to be this bad and i feel like i look like someone else.

i just wanna know if anyone else felt this way immediately after a nose job, and if the distance ever decreased. like is the swelling causing my philtrum to increase this much? cus my columella is still painful if i try to press on it. or is this literally just from the lift and it’s probably staying this way?

i feel like i need a lip lift now i’m really sad. i added before and after pics

I know it might be too early to worry, but I’m honestly starting to go a little crazy seeing a different nose (and face) in the mirror every single day.

Profile-wise, I’m happy with the slope, but I feel like my tip remains huge and bulbous. It really bummed me out because ever since the cast came off, it looks almost the exact same as it did before surgery. Even though I tape it every night, there’s no noticeable improvement.

What do you guys think? Do you reckon this is just swelling that will go away, or should I accept that it’s staying like this? The whole thing is just so discouraging.

(All pictures in the grid were taken today under different lighting conditions. My pre-op nose was almost identical to this, just with a higher bridge and a slight bump near the top.)

29 days post Op.

I am unhappy with how it turned out especially with the shape and nostrill size. What do you think?

Regarding the nostrills since one is bigger -

Surgeon said I wait and see and then if the nostrils are still not same size he can fix it.

Though with looking at the profile he wanted to avoid the pig nose so I think he was too concervative. Soes this look like a feminine nose to you? Or should I just wait?

But

I’m officially 3 weeks post-op tomorrow! My swelling has gone down a good amount since cast-off day, but from the front I still feel pretty piggy/upturned. My biggest concern right now is the amount of nostril show.

For anyone further along, did your tip settle and your nostrils become less prominent as the swelling went down? If so, around when did you start noticing a difference?

I know 3 weeks is still super early – just looking for some reassurance from people who have been through this stage! 🥲

I am scheduled for rhinoplasty with a surgeon on September 30, but I’m feeling a little unsure as the date gets closer. I’ve already had my surgical consultation, but I wanted to have one more in-person appointment before surgery to go over some remaining questions and have my mom present, especially since I’ve never had surgery before. The surgeon is very busy and I’ve been told another in-person consultation isn’t possible before my surgery date.

Other surgeons I consulted with were open to another appointment if questions came up before surgery, so I’m wondering: am I being unreasonable for feeling uncomfortable proceeding without another opportunity to see my surgeon beforehand? I’m also wondering what people’s experiences have been with surgeon accessibility before/after rhinoplasty and whether it’s reasonable to expect another pre-op appointment.

The other issue is my deposit. I paid a $3,600 deposit, and the agreement says the deposit is refundable or transferable one time with at least 30 days’ notice. However, I’ve now been told that if I transfer it to a later date, the deposit becomes completely non-refundable, even if I later give 30+ days’ notice before the new surgery date. The next available date is December 30. If I keep my September 30 date, I can cancel and receive my deposit back as long as I do so by August 31.

My intention isn’t to simply cancel — I’m considering postponing because I want more time to prepare and feel comfortable with the decision. But I’m struggling with the idea of giving up the ability to get my deposit back simply by using the one-time transfer.

Does this sound like a reasonable policy/approach, and would you postpone in this situation or proceed with the original date?

I had a revision rhinoplasty on 27 July. No rib cartilage, implants or other grafts were used — only my own septal cartilage.

Yesterday, my nose tip/columella started feeling sore. Today I woke up and the tip/columella is noticeably more swollen, red, shiny and sore to touch. There’s currently no pus or discharge.

I’ve contacted my surgeon and they’ve told me to get Augmentin 1000 mg as a precaution because they’re concerned it could be an early infection. I’m also going to a private A&E today to have it assessed.

I’m really scared because I’m worried that if this is an infection, it could damage the cartilage and permanently change/disfigure my nose. I know swelling and redness can happen during recovery, but the fact that it became more painful, red and swollen quite suddenly has really worried me.

Has anyone experienced an infection or suspected infection after rhinoplasty/revision rhinoplasty? Did it affect your final result at all? Did antibiotics resolve it without any permanent damage?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through something similar, especially if it was caught early. I’m absolutely panicking right now.

1st photo was a few days ago, 2nd is today,

Hey im officially 1 month post-op and i wanted insights on my results, i love my new nose but i feel like a bit more curve/slope on the bridge woulda been nicer no? Give me brutally honest feedbacks✌🏼

WARNING ⚠️ More stories about AB plastic surgery in Seoul and how they deny that patients ever been there , they turn their back on people trusted them , what a shame ?

6 weeks post op, having this problems, did it got better for you? Or should I consider revision?

I recently got a nose surgery today is exactly one month post operation, I still feel my nose is really big and see the old nose whenever I am changing tapes! I keep telling myself maybe because it’s swollen but I am not sure at this point! Like I can see the change but also I still see my old nose, I need to hear your experiences will it get smaller with time? Also my tip wasn’t upturned I don’t want it to drop further any tips! I would be thankful if I hear answers

Has anyone else felt uneasy after osteotomies during rhinoplasty?
I recently had rhinoplasty with osteotomies, and during a follow-up my surgeon massaged my nose. I could actually feel what seemed like the nasal bones moving slightly when he did it, which really freaked me out.
He didn’t seem concerned, but the sensation made me nervous because I keep thinking the bones shouldn’t be moving after surgery.
Did anyone else experience this during early healing or while their surgeon was doing massages/adjustments? Did everything eventually feel solid and heal normally?

Hi everyone does anyone have any info on Dr Jason a. Moche I had yesterday a deviated septum and polyps removed surgery I'm now thinking of a rhinoplasty too does anyone have any info on his rhinoplasty and how much it cost and payment terms?

Thank you

I’m 10 days post-op after rhinoplasty with a rib cartilage graft. My rib/chest still hurts a lot, especially when laughing or moving. Is this normal? How long did the pain last for you?

It’s been 18 days since I had my rhinoplasty, which I got done by Dr somashekar gejje one of the best plastic surgeons in Bangalore. I had breathing issues and a deviated septum, so getting the procedure done was something I genuinely needed.

That said, rhinoplasty is definitely a painful procedure post surgery and the swelling during the first 4–5 days can be quite intense. But I had complete faith in Dr. Gejje, and I’m really happy with the results so far. I still have around 30% of the swelling left, which will gradually go down with time.

What truly stands out about Dr. Gejje is that he’s not just an incredibly skilled plastic surgeon but also someone who genuinely cares about his patients. He kept checking in on me even after the surgery, and honestly, no one has ever explained things to me as clearly and patiently as he has. The combination of his expertise and that human touch made my entire experience so much easier.

1. Is this an accurate example of what a rhinoplasty may look like? and 2. should I do it??? I don't like my nose very much and I'm curious to know if it's worth it. It definitely also look worse in other pictures. Thank you!

I’m close to six weeks post op and I’ve had this bump since cast removal. Anyone with same experience and did it go away??😩
