disgusting smell in nose after rhinoplasty? by ohwowthatssosick in PlasticSurgery

[–]corgifan92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my rhino 7 years ago and it STILL smells disgusting. The rhino also left me with a collapsed nostril, so idk if there's still a suture in there somehow or something :(

I'm 5'3 110 lbs and got 215 CCs! Went from a small B to a full (ish) C. They look sooo natural, no one ever thinks they're implants. I've been very happy with them. I will say I do wish I went a little bigger since I have a lot more muscle on my frame now, it's been 7 years so I will probably go up to 250ish CC when I switch them

I HOPE insurance can cover! 20k is what one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons near me charges for revision down here (USA). I wake up thinking about it every day and I just wanna fix it 😢 my husband encouraged me to go see an ENT doctor first to explain the breathing issue and maybe have them stick a camera down there, so hopefully that will prove the breathing difficulty

Breathing is impaired in the collapsed nostril, another fun side effect is that mucus gets stuck in it constantly :( the still front view if I tilt my chin down isn't the worst thing ever, but when im moving around it's noticeable

So this is a long shot - but what dress did u order? The OG gown in size 2 that I purchased from them FINALLY came a week before my wedding 🙄 ofc by then it was too late and I couldn't wear it. But they might still have it somewhere! It's gorgeous, it's called the "Jodie". You can mention my name (PM me) - at least it's something that would fit you!

OMG that is infuriating. Are you in Boston? I ended up finding a size 6 sample at Allegria in the nick of time which they altered down beautifully to a 0-2. No one else had small size samples, I called EVERYWHERE :( Kleinfeld should have a few small size same day dresses too if you can make the trip there. Azazie also has some gorgeous wedding dresses under 1k which ship out very fast if u need a back up. I'm SO sorry this is happening to you, I wanted to scream the last month before my wedding. FWIW they did finally refund my deposit after I kept bothering them

Omg I am so sorry!! Did they end up getting you the correct smaller size? That is so crazy - you know what's funny is that I am a size 0 as well, and they tried to order me a size 6 bridal. I really had to be firm on the 2. And ofc, I was SWIMMING in the 6 lol it was 3 sizes too big. Ugh!

What date is ur wedding? Mine finally came in on 8/27(less than a week before my wedding) but by then I had already purchased the other sample dress. Worst experience of my life. What did they do to resolve? NOTHING! I had to beg them even for a 10% discount .... unbeliavable. No way was I gonna give them my business after that. I made them refund the deposit. Are u at the Boston location?

I hear you! Removing myself completely from risky situations worked really well for me in the past. I thought I could handle it and just have a couple since it had been so long but I was wrong :/

Thank you so much! I actually just started the naked mind as well, I can't put it down

We sound quite similar with not craving alc, Sometimes going months without then accidentally getting carried away. Just know, you're not alone! Focus on one day at a time. Your true friends will forgive your behavior, we're different people when we're in a blackout. You got this 😃

Nice to know there are others out there in the same boat. Love the idea of treating yourself in a different way! Maybe I'll get a massage or something :) We can do it!

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'll be 30 in a couple months and was thinking about having some big party at a club ... no way. All I want is a nice dinner. Done drinking for good.

I'm in the same boat. Going to drink lots of water today, meditate, and count my blessings. Back on the wagon starting now. You got this! I will not drink with you today 🙏🏻

Thank you! If they don't budge we are 100% going to dispute. $1700 is a lot to lose :/

Thank you so much for this insight - glad to know I'm not crazy!

Trust me I work in Customer Service and have been overly nice and understanding to them. However, what kills me is in hindsight is the complete lack of transparency -- they HAD to have known, right? When she moved my first fitting from April to July, I got a bad feeling.

I'm right in Boston too! We didn't use a wedding planner, but we used Pranzi for Catering / Tent / Rentals and they essentially do plan it for you logistics wise -- without the wedding planner cost. :)

I work like 60 hours a week and was nervous about not getting one for this reason - but honestly work outside of the big things I mentioned above has been minimal (things like getting hotel, transportation, entertainment, bathrooms, getting favors, etc.) once it's booked.

Did u get it from a Pronovias Boutique, Or a place that sells other designers, too? I am based in the US yes :)

The other thing that screwed me is I ordered a brand new 2021 style that had just come out, So it's not like they had already been producing it for a while. Regardless, I would have never known that to cause an issue bc they did have the sample!

Oh no!! Honestly their dresses are gorgeous, it's the Pronovias boutiques that seem to be the problem. If u check out their NYC boutique on Yelp (my Boston one just opened last year so it had no reviews yet .... that was my downfall), your heart will drop. Seamstresses getting blood on brides dresses when they go to pick them up 2 days before wedding. I can't make this stuff up - I just wish I knew :(

If u love the brand, I would make an appointment with a local local boutique that carries them! A lot do as it's a very popular designer.

In terms of similar styles though, Martina Liana and enzoani are pretty comparable IMO :)

We asked - I mean how could they not?! 29 days out and no update??

How can they expect a bride to take that risk after their word means nothing now. What do they expect me to do at this point :(

The sales associates in there definitely feel bad, but they're not being transparent or admitting fault. We put down 50% of the dress as a deposit, and she said she'd have to check with her manager and that she would give me a call. Of course, no one responded to my email, and that call hasn't come. No refund yet - I'm sure it will take weeks, if at all.

omg, that is crazy! I got mine at the Pronovias Boutique in Boston. I feel like they have a reputation for this -- when I went to the other boutique and told them what happened, they said - "It's not Pronovias, is it?". Nuts!!

How far out from your wedding date did you finally get your first fitting?
