[@petramarion]

I'm at this point now while being two weeks post-op. It's so hard to look at the nose from the front because of the swelling. I'm documenting all the changes that are still yet to come.

V Keithly you’re very welcome! People prepare themselves as much as possible for the day of surgery, but what they don’t understand is the healing process after the surgery can actually be much more challenging! Good luck & thank you for watching!

Omg same here. I'm 8days post op and so depressed how my nose looks..i was regretting it but this video has brought me sooo much relief

[@vkeithly]

Don’t worry! I was in full panic mode for the first week!! My nose was so swollen and turned up. It looked impossible to me that it would improve dramatically enough that’d I’d like it. I’m 3 months out and I love it. Just breathe through it and wait it out...I’m sure you’ll feel dramatically different about it in a couple months. Hang in there!

+Kirsty Mc Laughlin I'm so glad it has helped!! I felt like my tip was kind of upturned for about a month. My surgery was on June 30th, 2015 so I'm almost 10 months out now and I can't tell you how much it continues to improve! Once I got to about a month a thought my nose looked AMAZING and now I love it even more! Even now I continue to notice positive changes and improvements as my swelling continues to decrease. More of those secondary changes, subtle feminine creases around the tip, my adorable supra tip break- those subtle but beautiful changes continue to become more apparent all the time! I can't wait for you to see your end results, I'm sure you will look GORGEOUS!😘- Erin R

Dear Doctor Nayak and Erin. I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to both of you for doing the healing timeline video and picture series. I had a surgery by another surgeon and had my cast removed yesterday. I was not prepared to see the early outcome. I am so distraught over how upturned and fat my nose is. This page and the video have been the ONLY detailed visual sources of comfort I was able to find online on the healing/de-swelling timeline. Thank you for drying my tears!! This video is so valuable for people like me who are in utter shock over the week 1 look when the cast comes off. I cannot thank you enough. Sincerely, Oz

[@syuzanna687]

Hi, I'm having the same problem. How is your nose now that two months have passed?

[@ozlemevadavis8238]

Hello Amelya, I am sorry it took me this long to reply. I do not check my KZbin account much. I look SO much better. I still have some swelling and numbness on my right side but my nose looks a ton better. I am actually starting to enjoy looking at it now. And now I fully believe that once the swelling is completely gone, which it will be, I am going to be 100% happy with it. I wish the same for you! Just be patient. Some days due to the heat I still see that my nose is more swollen than the day before but then it goes back to normal.

[@AlexaHolcombe]

I'm going through the same depression. I'm 5 weeks post-op and I feel my nose hardly looks any different than before the surgery. How long until you started to see your nose shrink? Thank you!

@@AlexaHolcombe Hi, I hope ur nose improved! I'm barely 2 weeks post op!! Has the experience been what u expected!?

[@AlexaHolcombe]

Dany Carbs Hi! It’s been about 13 months since my surgery and I can say that it has changed quite a bit since my surgery. While it is a small improvement, I think my surgeon was just a bit conservative, which I suppose is better than being overly ambitious. :) I’m considering a revision to shave it down just slightly and to refine the tip a bit. The tip of my nose actually looks more bulbous now than it did before, which is a bit frustrating. Overall, I’m happy I did it and I definitely don’t regret it, just wish for $20,000 I had gotten what I wanted the first time. Good luck! It will definitely change quite a bit from now until about a year, so as they all say; be patient. :))

[@iTzShakenJoE]

rhinoplasty process is crazy, I was so swollen a year ago! I thought it would never go down the swelling. Now it's super perfect. Still bigger since I'm a big guy, but it fits my face. I love it!

[@wOwmOusse]

Thanks !! I was looking for this exactly ! I just got my rhinoplasty 11 days ago and they took my cast off yesterday, and even though I knew my nose would look swollen and weird, I really have this strong piggy feeling and I hate my face from the front at the moment... Thankfully most people seem to think the same so that's reassuring, but most of the time when you watch videos about rhinoplasties, people make the video a year after or 3-6 months after, so they're all happy and no one says anything about the first few weeks when they hate their face hahah It's nice here to see the real evolution because I'm really not used to having my nose up and from the pictures you've shown her nose really looks amazing and different now !

[@ange9714]

Hey! Any updates. What do you think about it now?

[@wOwmOusse]

@@ange9714 hey, the feeling definitely doesn't stay that way! I'm glad with my nose now, it isn't perfect, because you never know exactly how it's going to turn out, but it still so much better than before! The only weird thing for me now is when I see old pictures when I felt pretty, because I didn't mind my nose from the front (from the side I had a bump and my nose was a tiny bit long), so I kind of liked it better before because well... it was my face for 24 years! But I'm sure people need a while to completely get used to it. From the side I love it, I don't have any issues with people taking pictures from my left side anymore 👏🏼 I'd say I needed about a month/6 weeks to really get used to it and not feel awful anymore. And it's funny because when I see pictures from the first few days it doesn't look as bad or as different now, but at the same time it does haha I can see for sure on some pictures that it was swollen and a bit up, but I really felt ugly af, and now I'm like: well it's actually not that different, my nose looked pretty much like it is now. I think it's just your brain that needs to get used to it, and it'll be ok!

I'm glad I found this. I'm a little over two weeks for my revision Septo/Rhinoplasty and I've been having periods of uncertainty and depression with how my nose looKs when it's so early. I can say that my nose was not an easy one to fix and no matter how it looks in 6 months, compared to my original nose, it should be ok. My surgeon had to use cadaver rib cartilidge because my first nosejon used everything they could. Sith thos surgery, I'm not getting that immediate astonishment that I did with the first which I was very happy with for many years, I had a very large nose that I severly injured as a child and it was extremely crooked. Since I do have very oily skin and somewhat thicker skin, sounds ike I need to stop over analyzing and obsessing at the mirror.

Thank you for this lovely video. I wonder if I could get some advice from any experts out there . I have just had a septorhinoplasty. Its actually the second operation I had on my nose. I had one when I was 20 and the surgeon made my nose way too dainty and shaved too much bone away to the point that I guess made it slightly feminine. I am now 50 and just had this second operation to fix my breathing since the first operation had caused the nasal passages to become too narrow over time and that affected my breathing. I just had my cast taken off today after 6 days and I am happy that my nose no longer looks so fake and feminine. However I am now worried that my nose looks pretty fat and bulbous , wide and piggy like. The surgeon did reassure me there is a lot of swelling and when it goes down I will be very happy with the result. Can I ask you guys does the nose change that much to go from being now chunky to like a normal width? Not too slim but not too wide?

[@tosomt5419]

You mean, does it look better in 3 years than it did in 1-2 years?

[@freeurmind2871]

@@ayselaksu500how is your nose now? Did it get any better/smaller?

[@Pineapplex1990x]

i believe that the reason surgeons do the upturned/pig look because they are accounting for your nose dropping in a period of month. after my rhinoplasty my nose looked AMAZING as soon as the cast was removed. the tip was perfect. however one year later i am completely dissatisifed because my tip has now fallen and it looks droopy. i am starting to think the pig/upturned effect is deliberate now, because most good surgeons are aware that the tip will fall?? not sure if this is correct, but its how i see it. i think if you have a pig/upturned look it can most likely be fixed. if your nose tip looks just perfect after cast removal, i think there is much more cause for concern because it will drop :(. i now have to do a revision.

[@ninalou4629]

Be careful. Not all surgeons work drops. So be careful not to ask for a too high of a nose cause it might not drop at all.

[@LeiliMana]

Yah obviously that's what happens, it's not a deliberate move to fool their patients! You should have consulted with your surgeon better as to what you really wanted, he could have done your nose pointing up higher, wouldn't have been a problem! And besides, how long has your surgery been because it takes at least a year to see a final result. If you are absolutely unsatisfied and want a revision make sure you communicate very clearly as to what you want, show picture and let the doctor edit your picture and show how it should look like on photoshop first

I got it done ten days ago and today I took the cast off and I thought that I looked like a pig. I got so depressed until I watched this video it made me feel so much better. I have very fat oily skin so the doctor warned me that it would take a while to improve... I just needed reassurance 😁

I’m 3.5 months post-op and I’m feeling really disheartened, my main reason for having a rhinoplasty was an insecurity about my side profile. I can’t see a difference in size, neither can my close friends and family. I can’t imagine my profile becoming much smaller at this stage. I’m so upset

[@tery0093]

And now?

Amélie how are you now?

Hi🤍I had a nosejob in 2018, and the swelling never went down, Especially at the tip of the nose! So i actually had to have another nose job now, 2 weeks ago, and it’s allready much smaller than the first time. So sometimes you actually need a revision rhinoplasty🙉

[@yenniferlaverde8227]

Omg I just got my rhinoplasty four days ago and I’m so scared and nervous for the splint to come off. This video gave me more reassurance that it will be okay and what to expect. Thank you so much

[@NayakPlasticSurgery]

So glad!

[@himashilisa5544]

How about now??

[@zachsullivann]

My surgery was on the morning of the 5th, it is now the night of the 8th. A little more than 72 hours in and the splint is super uncomfortable but not so much painful. I am SO EXCITED to get it off, not because I want to see what my nose looks like, just because I want my life to go back to normal😭.

[@zachsullivann]

2 days later, if I’m being honest, I haven’t slept much if at all any of these nights, maybe 3-4 hours. The splint still sucks and I’m still super excited to get it off

[@zachsullivann]

Got my internal splints out today, feels amazing. Getting that stitch out of my septum has really increased the mobility with my mouth and obviously breathing is MUCH better. Still have the cast on the outside and honestly not too mad about it, kind of feels like a shield.

[@lobbykeith5879]

@@zachsullivannhow is it now?

[@zachsullivann]

@@lobbykeith5879 well, funny story. unfortunately that surgery didnt even fix my deviated septum. the doctor said it may have “shifted back” under the splint, but i dont think she did much to begin with. anyway, it looked the exact same and i still had restricted breathing. i had another surgery in the second week of december. this one was successful! not only does my nose look much better, im breathing much better. its still feels the slightest bit fragile but that comes with the healing process.

[@Haddasa]

The day I came home from surgery with a cast on my nostrils looked even after three or four days my nostrils look uneven. They still look uneven after the cast came off. Is this normal?

[@camillahamilton781]

Thanks, great informative video! I have a question- I have thin skin, my surgeon performed a slight dorsal hump shaving, and I’m 2 weeks post op. As the swelling goes down I’m noticing what looks like a hump. Could this be swelling? My surgeon said taping wasn’t necessary. Thanks!

[@sihammachlouch8055]

How is it now ? I have the same issue

[@emyywolf]

There is a non surgical nose job that costs less, and fixes the sape. But it doesn’t last and it doesn’t shrink the overall size of the nose

Is it normal to get a dorsal hump remove and still have a bump after surgery because of swelling?

[@fattahalya]

After 2 years of nose surgery on the right side of my cortlige bridge inside there was like dimple sticking out and was annoying, so I returned to the my Dr that did my surgery and found old stithies that were supposed come out of it and didn't, so my Dr said that my body refused it and thats how the dimple came out, so he said that it is no big deal to get them out. he tried to dig in it but it was difficult for him to get the stitches out, and so he made an incision and got few out, it was a bigger procedure than we thought, I couldn't feel a thing because I was anesthetic so anyways he got few out and close it back up, and here is the surprise my whole nose got swelled up again like if I had a second operation and its been two weeks now and my nose still swilled up . The Dr told me its going to take few weeks for it to heal but its not! It ruined the look of my nose and I am afraid that some of the swilling is going to remain on my nose that would never heal more! I am really disappointed if I knew that I wouldn't've him do it, and will diffidently go back for steroids shot in witch i did those before for the first surgery. but its not easy and more money to waste into it and the risk of it all is there, i was so happy with my nose and my Dr was an awesome Dr, but the thing that sucker if it wasn't for it I wouldn't have messed with my nose again!!

So sorry to hear that! It goes to show you, it is in your best interest to do your research before selecting a plastic surgeon!

[@miguelberetta7887]

Is it normal for your nose to still look crooked 2 weeks after a rhinoseptoplasty revision? My breathing is slightly better, but I still have difficulty breathing.

[@AntoanPenelov]

I had my nose job done 5 months ago and I'm concerned! I have a veery thick skin and I had a big meaty tip. Now it looks a lot better! But because they took a lot of bone and a lot of meat from my tip...now my tip is sticking out in a round shape (not by much). Is that swelling that will go down in a year or am I living with this? P.S Thank you in advance :)

[@NayakPlasticSurgery]

Hello & thank you for watching! Truly, we cannot give any sort of medical advice without actually seeing you. It is very likely and possible that you will have swelling up until the 12 month mark if not longer following surgery. It is nearly impossible without a physical exam to determine if what you are describing is swelling and/or if what you are experiencing is "normal". If you are concerned about it, my best advice is to return to your surgeon!

[@melika3519]

I had my surgery 4 days ago and I just removed the bandage today. I still have the cast on so I can’t decide on the rest of it but I’m not at all happy with my tip. It looks very swollen and upturned, though you don’t see much of my nostrils from the front bc my surgeon has reduced them in size. They’re actually kind of too small for my taste now... I wonder if that’s due to the swelling as well. And also my left nostril is noticeably smaller than my right. My left side is overall more swollen so I’m hoping the asymmetrical nostrils will go away with time... and I hope the tip shrinks a bit as well! Loved the photos included. Really relieving. I hope mine ends up shrinking as much in a few months. Smaller tip, bigger more natural and even looking nostrils, that’s what I want right now!!

[@melika3519]

Hi Im wondering if anyone can help me. I had open rinoplasty last week to correct a bump in my bridge and reduce a hanging columella. The bridge is fine but the columella is still hanging low. I completely understand this is an early stage and there is swelling as it feels very hard especially seeing as they made the incision through the columella. Im just worried because you say the tip drops dose this mean that it will likely drop more? Id really appriciate any advice. Thank you

[@NayakPlasticSurgery]

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to give meaningful medical advice without seeing you in person, or in pictures at the very least. When it comes to seeing your actual results, you really won't have a good idea of what your nose will look like until about 3 months after your surgery, and final results can't be seen until a year. If you are still unsatisfied with your nose once a large amount of the swelling is gone, you can consider a revision; however, keep in mind that a good plastic surgeon would not consider doing a revision, until a full year after your initial surgery.
