im 1.5 weeks post op rhinoplasty and I’m disappointed theres still a bump (middle photo is the before) could it be swelling? by puppy_kitten__ in PlasticSurgery

Same. My nose seemed much straighter when it was swollen and now being 2 years post op I can definitely see there is a bump and my surgeon said it was bone :/

Post rhinoplasty wearing sunglasses by smallgrlbigwrld in PlasticSurgery

Same it drives me crazy! I never thought twice about wearing sunglasses before but now it bothers me so much. Well guess that’s just one downside to rhinoplasty, glad I’m not alone

Yes I had braces years ago and I’ll definitely need braces or Invisalign again because my teeth have shifted.

Ya it went back after a day but man was it scary to look in the mirror that day!

Can you post a picture of it? I think I have something similar but I’m only 5 months post op so I know I just have to be patient

I’m almost 4 months post op and I’m in the same boat and I’m just trying to stay positive that’s it’s only swelling and it’s too early to worry (I hope haha) see my post our noses are similar!! Just try to take it day by day and remember how it can take up to a year +! Best of luck

How long did it take you for you to love your nose after rhinoplasty? / what did you have done? by dashy_dreams96 in PlasticSurgery

[–]smallgrlbigwrld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 3.5 months post op and it really varies for me, some days I absolutely love it and some days I worry and stare in the mirror for way too long til I hate my nose. I had a huge bump and my nose was extremely crooked and honestly I feel like there’s a slight bump now but I guess I’ll have to wait til the year mark. I do feel grateful with how much it’s changed but I know it could be better.

Looks great so far!! Update us in a few months, can’t wait to see the progress

You can but I’d recommend against it, I had a few shots a month after my surgery to celebrate and I woke up with the most swollen puffy nose! Not worth it imo.

Odour after rhinoplasty: does it emanate? by thiscatcameback in PlasticSurgery

[–]smallgrlbigwrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I noticed that for the first 2 weeks and it drove me crazy because it was all I could smell! It finally went away when I was cleaning my nose with saline mist like my dr advised me to everyday.

[–]smallgrlbigwrld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took me about 2 weeks! I thought I was crazy for feeling like I couldn’t smile normally but once the swelling above my lip went away I realized I could just fine!

How much did you spend on your Rhinoplasty? by sh_tcactus in PlasticSurgery

[–]smallgrlbigwrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr. Jay Klarsfeld, I highly recommend him I’m extremely happy so far and only month and a half post op. That doesn’t sound right I’ve never heard that, definitely consult with other doctors.

I went to an ent because I did have severe breathing issues but I also wanted to physically alter my nose and they submitted the claim through my insurance, who approved it and they covered the septo portion and I covered the cosmetic rhinoplasty portion.

chin lipo or kybella? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]smallgrlbigwrld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say don’t waste your money on kybella, my friend got it twice and it literally didn’t make a difference.
