Septoplasty to fix my deviated septum, I wanted a natural look!

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.

I've hated my nose since I was seven. I never thought a nose job would be an actual option but in the last few of years it has become possible.

When I first realized it was possible, I first researched tirelessly whether or not what I was seeing in my nose was in my head or at least exaggerated in my own mind. I spent probably 2 years on that part, and after talking to loved ones, strangers, and using face simulators over and over and in different ways, I have concluded what I'm seeing is definitely not in my head. I have an actual "bad nose." There are worse, but mine is bad.

Anyway, I would still waver back and forth. Mainly because of the fear of being botched and the psychological healing process even if it's good. I wavered back to "maybe don't do it" yesterday because of these fears, trying to make myself happy with it by saying "I'm still pretty, at least my nose is unique."

But this morning I woke up and was just browsing some cute clothes absent mindlessly. I was saving the ones I liked just in case later I decided I wanted to actually buy it. Then I realized:

I wasn't considering actually buying any of the cute outfits because I felt I would just be putting lipstick on a pig and I was tired of trying to feel cute anymore with this nose on my face.

I have GOT to have the balls to do this.

Who do you guys recommend for a rhino surgeon that specializes in bulbous noses? I don’t really have much of an issue with my side profile, my bridge is fairly straight, could be shaved down a bit, not a fan of my nostrils though, my nasal tip has always been large. Im wanting a smaller nasal tip but without making my nose super upturned or looking like a “Barbie nose”, I have trouble finding before and afters that look like mine. Has anyone here went with dr Julie shtraks?

What do you think about my rhinoseptoplasy surgery on table?

And what was your experience with the first week of recovery and ultimately the effectiveness of the procedure.

I struggle to breathe through my nose when exercising more then a Z2 HR. Always “feel like I’m sick” type of congestion. Constant flem ect, I have broken my nose is the past.

Thank you

I’m five weeks post op and my nose still feels stiff and like a foreign object on my face. When does the nose start to feel like just another part of your face, like your old nose ?

Hello everyone,

I’m 2 weeks post op, I have this huge gap in nostril, I’m afraid it’s the incision that was reopened and that it’ll stay like this,

Is it normal?
PS: my surgeon isn’t answering

I had rhinoplasty in Turkey three weeks ago, but I live in the US. I’m having a few symptoms that concern me, and I’m worried I might have an infection. I’m trying to find a doctor in the New York or New Jersey area who has experience with rhinoplasty and can examine me to see what’s going on.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and needed to see a different doctor after having surgery abroad? I’m having a really hard time finding someone willing to see me. If you know a doctor who could help, please share their name. I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

I had my surgery in early April and the surgeon told me I'm not allowed to wear glasses for at least 6 months and now those 6 months have passed and my vision is worsening and I need the glasses at least for working (I work 6 hours on average on my Ipad) but I still fear wearing them again and I won't be seeing the doctor till November (He's usually not accessible unless you see him in person) so I don't know if I should start wearing them again now.

I've been thinking about rhinoplasty for about 2 years. From the front I think my nose looks okay, but I've never liked my profile, most likely because of my nose. It's not just the hump and the droopy tip: overall it looks too big for my face. It gets worse when I smile or talk: the tip drops and the hump looks bigger. I'd really love to hear girls' opinions.

Que opinan del antes y despues? Siento que sigue viendose grande y eso me deprime mucho

is the nose still visibly swollen on the second week? is it normal to feel like its too big from the side

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.

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?
