I got a rhinoplasty 3 years ago, and had really bad times during the healing process. The physically recovery was so good and without problem but psycologically I had strugles accepting my new appearence, I had high levels of anxiety, depression and guilt for hurting my body, I used to have nightmares and thoughts about amputations, I couldn't recognize myself on the mirror, I felt like I was being judged for doing something bad to my body and I couldn't resist it. I felt regret and I was really obsessed even when there was nothing bad with the result, in fact now I feel so good but It took me around 4 months to feeling better with myself again. I think it's really important to spread the psycological effects of this king of surgeries.

[@ubettaeat4303]

I wish doctors warned their patients. This is so important and serious

[@joannae2849]

I honestly wish I knew about this syndrome before I did rhinoplasty because I would have never even touched my nose if I knew I would feel this way! I wake up everyday nervous and nauseous about the fact that I changed my appearance. My nose is so cute but it’s not me. I’ve been getting very anxious and depressed, I’ll be starting psych meds today. I want to think about something other than my nose. Please send your prayers and that I can move on from this

[@janjuafacialsurgery]

I'm sorry to hear you're going through this! With time, you'll get used to it, sending my prayers.

Thank you so much for your calm and reassuring ways Dr. Janua. I had surgery 2 weeks ago and have had my cast off for 5 days and I'm going through the post op blues for sure. My piggy nose, weird thin lips, and hollow eyes are bugging me so much. I'm obsessing a little too much...my Dr. keeps saying that in 2 weeks I will see a big improvement. Fingers crossed it will change.

[@yaeltuttebel]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm six days post op. It really is a mental challenge

[@R99THN]

I think this is an incredibly powerful response to the syndrome. My surgery was 100% objective based and I was critically aware that whilst we may achieve on all of those objectives, the extent to which would vary. In other words, I was prepared in advance not to achieve perfection through the surgery. I was very fortunate and find myself with a specialist consultant who would not let me rush in before appropriate consultation. Best of luck to others who are in a post surgery phase

[@ramb0nat0r]

Gotta say I underestimated the psychological aspect. And I am a very stable and resilient man. And my face, especially my nose ist swollen (7 days) but still I research and read non stop about this even tho I KNOW. this will be way better in few weeks months. Imma go update this then so like the comment so other people get the comfort by an actual patient that is now in the situation. Thank you for the vid and the explanation.

I know this video is now 5 years old but wow it’s the absolute BEST and most helpful video concerning rhinoplasty I’ve seen. Thank you!!! This MUST get talked about more, i feel this topic & discussion should be done at every rhinoplasty consult and during post-op visits as we heal. It was never explained to me & I had the a lot of these feelings you described & I never thought or imagined would! Never. At 3 months post-op I’m just slowly starting to adjust to a new face. The crazy thing too is my surgeon did a beautiful, natural job so this response I had to a new nose which completely changed who I saw in the mirror was not expected since I always hated my very bulbous tip on my small petite face. I agree that everyone must know this to prevent many revisions that do not provide the “mental” fix we need. Again, thank you, I hope more people see this. You are a wonderful l, kind surgeon.

100% agree. On my 2nd wk post rhino now, and I couldn’t agree more on your comment. My surgeon seems too rush every consultation and follow up I make. No reassurances at all, which caused me so much anxiety and been trying to hide all along, having self-conscious about my result as it it didnt turned out to what my expectation would be 😞.

Leave your nose alone, especially if you feel beautiful. Don’t touch it if you don’t want to struggle physically and mentally after rhinoplasty. Believe me it is not worth it.

Wow this is the best rhinoplasty video I have watched. You are a gift!! The day after my surgery I started having a panic attack. My anxiety became off the charts. I was afraid I wouldn’t look like myself, somehow I was shaming my mom for having her nose, I felt like a sellout etc etc. that went away but it was scary as hell to have all those feelings that turns into physical manifestations! I get my splint off in two days and now I can’t wait. I think the remainder of the anxiety will fade when I see I am still totally me, just improved :) thank you so much for this extremely validating video.

[@cinemamadness6920]

It's good advice, for sure. I'm sure most people watching this video are post op. Sadly, I objectively look the same as I did before the surgery, and I told people I had a nose job and they agree it looks the same. So, I'm an exception to your advice, and that's what's really pissing me off, that there's just no change at all for me. I envy those people who claim they are "in love" with their new noses.

[@chris23g12]

I’m going through the same and my surgeon told I was a nervous person to relax and I haven’t had his support since after surgery

[@pamelam.7789]

Thank you for discussing this. I have not had a rhinoplasty, but I am a psychotherapist and can see the value of this topic for those who may suffer from body dysmorphia before or after this type of surgery. It sounds like there is a transition period for most patients to get used to their new nose/face which I am sure may be shocking to some initially. I appreciate your sharing.

[@healthyisbeautiful8720]

As a psychotherapist let me tell you about a devastating complication of nasal surgery. It is called empty nose syndrome. The nerves and neural connections with the brain gets damaged and the signals get interrupted and the brain thinks you are not breathing! Surgeons blame patients and send them to psychiatric care.

Great topic. Can you do more on lip lifts...

[@WikiiMomo]

Or the nose we asked for isn't what we received, why should we be accepting a nose we didn't ask for, I hate when noses are too turned up, my surgeon gave me one, I hate when my upper lip looks far from my nose, it's like that now, my septum is flat as fuck now. People think my nose is fine but they see what I hate. But why should I care, I received a nose that I would hate on anyone, so yes, I stress about it, think about it, can't work, I'm depressed and I want to jump off a bridge, and you can all call it post rhinoplasty syndrome, but it's not always that, it's that I prefered my old nose, if I knew it was going to look like this I wouldn't have done it. Period, it's no syndrom sometimes it's just that the surgeon yes did his best or maybe didn't listen to you carefully. My surgeon has awesome reviews and he still doesn't really seem to care about my case. I didn't feel listened or understood. Sometimes it's not us, it's the surgeon

I'm very anxiety prone and told my surgeon this before hand as well.. I became literally crazy after my surgery. Not only I had breathing issue but tip deformity that got fixed too but somehow my nose came out a little tilted to the left. And that was a disaster end of life thing for my brain to accept. I went crazy obsessive in the first month. Now I'm in the 2and month and I'm getting a little better and letting it heal but it's one day every other day I go crazy again. They gave me anti depressants but I dont want to take them. Damn this healing time depression is for REAL ladies.. just know before you get into it. Anything can happen and you have to be patient.. I still tape my nose every night so I dont look at it 24/7 in the mirror. My surgeon said it might straighten but if it doesnt we have to do correction but have to wait 1 year. And i was like damn i will die during this waiting time. It got pretty serious matter for me.. Wishing everyone the best in their healing phase. And as he said dont be obsessed with it. Like I am currently lol..

[@eniko9023]

I think the most important thing when someone is getting a nose job is to be aware that plastic surgeons are not magicians. They can't get you a completely different nose. You have your own bone structure, your skin structure, your features, etc. They can only correct your nose, not give you a completely new one. The other difficulty is the time - 1 year is sooo long! It's really challenging mentally - you worry about your healing all the time, if the swelling will go down, if the breathing will be fine, etc. Once that first year is over and your nose is healed, it'll be easier mentally. Anyway, that was a very useful video.

[@WillC]

This is actually not true. I was born with no bridge or cartilage and I’m getting a completely new nose.

[@eniko9023]

@@WillC I'm pretty sure you're aware that just because they could correct your nose (congrats btw!!), that doesn't mean it can be true to all noses. There's a huge difference between skin types too - if you have normal to thin skin, possibilities are way more than with thick skin. What I was trying to say in the first place is that you have to have real expectations otherwise you might be disappointed after your surgery.

[@jnineneuorpe8841]

Patients are more likely not satisfied with their surgeries because the patient and doctor did NOT agree on the surgery outcome BEFORE the surgery. It is best for the patient to take a picture of what they expect. The doctor also needs to be very HONEST with himself and the patient, and tell the patient if he/she can replicate/duplicate EXACTLY what is on the picture. It is the doctor's ethical duty to require a picture and to inform the patient if what is provided in a photo is possible...

[@Letgoodthingshappeninmylifenow]

Tomorrow I will have entered the 7th week of my surgery. I had a closed rhinoplasty I can't even be sure if I'm really depressed. In this process, sometimes my anxiety increases, sometimes I cry, I look in the mirror all the time. I don't know how my nose will end up, I just want it to get thinner, I don't know if the tip will drop further, I don't want the tip to go down any more, I'm scared, I can't move my philtrum part completely comfortably, I don't feel normal with my nose, I'm not completely comfortable with it I remember looking better with my old nose Then I tell myself that I should wait, I have thick skin This pisses me off even more There is even swelling in my nasal bone, it decreases when I massage it, then I look at it again and my bone looks protruding. From the side, my nose tip looks swollen and slightly inclined forward, I just think it's a classic rhinoplasty swelling, my nose feels like it's chubbier than my previous nose, I hope the result is worth all my sorrow, I hope I am satisfied with the result😔😭 Update: I'm about to enter the 8th month, my edema has decreased, but my nose is not what I wanted, it looks worse than my original nose now.I have no hope of getting better anymore, the damn doctor left me with this disgusting nose.It's very, very bad everywhere, not to mention what happened between my eyes and my upper lip. He filed down my nose so much... my original nose was almost straight, he flattened the bone to give my nose a curve. And the parts in front of my eyelids, near the root of my nose, look even more veiny than before.It looks awful both when I laugh and when I cry. My nostrils are originally symmetrical and small, this damn man stitched my nostrils from the inside, there are no stitches on my nostrils from the outside, which makes my nose look wider and one of my nostrils is small and the other is big now. Revision can't fix this nonsense, even if it does, I don't trust doctors anymore.I don't know how to live my life from now on. I have no desire to live, I don't want to do anything.

[@Sanastas]

I had rhinoplasty 16 months ago and it’s been a nightmare. I had a very large crooked nose to begin with, but I could feel pretty on some days. And even though it was big, it was shaped in a youthful way so everyone always guessed I was much younger than My real age. Then I finally had the means to make my big nose nicer and straight, only for it to turn out crooked in a different area and molded into what resembles a birds beak (not exaggerating.) no one tells me I look young anymore, in fact I get old jokes at work now. My nose looks like what you would expect on an old grandmother. He didn’t make it any smaller, only took care of the bulbous tip by making it pointy and curved down. I have small petite lips and this big crooked beaks doesn’t do rest rest of my face any justice. I had anxiety in removing my mask when the restrictions were lifted. No surgeon will touch my nose until after it heals, and even then I don’t have the money, vacation time, etc. I wish I could go back and choose a different surgeon.

I have very thick skin so he advised me to wait a bit longer for the final result. So fingers crossed n I hope it can get a little better.

Great video, but guys if you think that’s scary research Empty Nose Syndrome. It can ruin your life!

[@prateeksahni3993]

Can’t even tell how many times I’ve watched this video. I actually always loved how I looked but got punched in the face and fractured the nose. I got a nasal reconstruction on 12th day after the incident and the procedure included septoplasty performed by ENT surgeon and nasal reconstruction performed by plastic surgeon. The later included osteotomy (with external osteotome punch mark on the right side )and dorsal rasping. Now it’s been more than 5 weeks and though the bony part looks straight, the cartilaginous part looks asymmetrical. Could it be due to asymmetrical swelling? And is tip supposed to be swollen in a closed reduction as no tip work was done?

[@johntynan8161]

the thing is to just to get into other things and forget about it

[@YourIMGguru]

I am a doctor myself and I don’t like my nose.it’s asymmetric some days I tolerate it but objectively it’s still asymmetric thought it suits my face. I think the techniques are just not good enough,nothing wrong with our heads.

Can you talk about anxiety for not breathing well etc? I wanna do it but I have some problems with anxiety..

[@manopablogo8983]

maybe talk with a therapist about that

[@djrednitro4116]

I removed the cast after 2 weeks and the tip has dropped more than before the surgery instead of being lifted. If it was lifted I would be ok with it I know it will drop over time but having dropped already is really frustrating, I don't any logical way how it can get lifted alone, I know it's early but the revision is inevitable

[@lilmizj9685]

Im 3 months my dr made my tip so high. I had a droopy tip and phsycologically my mind cant handle the space in my upperlife. I cant copewith it as of now

[@sassyfranzy4890]

oh man this is my situation . i am obsessed kept looking at it and i know my alars are not equal one is higher than the other. i know its not too bad but it keeps bothering me 😢 other people dont notice it until i point it out . im getting crazy. worse is Im still 3wks post op. too early to be depressed . most of it is probably still swelling

[@AntoinetteCulie]

Is it better for you now ?

[@flight101]

My nostrils are now even more uneven than they were before i went to get them done... im in pieces.. ones thin and saggy and one is longer and hard.. its not swelling... i can see a mile away he never fixed my nostrils, now my money has gone and im just as ugly. Also a few days after surgery in the hotel, my heart rate would shoot up and id get hot and burn up, it would last about ten minutes.. im so devastado now. I wish i could show you my nostrils...

[@ritikaoza1239]

That's because of the meds u have been taking for swelling , i have been thru the same

[@kelvinpichardo6498]

my surgeon makes it seem like its all in my head but my nose still looks swollen and its been more than year

Same….. I ended up having a revision rhinoplasty. Turns out it wasn’t all swelling he just didn’t make it as small as I asked for.

My surgeon botched my nose and didn't give a flying fuck

[@BeingErikaWhite]

I just had rhinoplasty two days ago. I notice that one nostril is a little larger than the other. Is this normal right after surgery? I’m sure it may be just the swelling BUT I’m a little nervous. When I tilt my head back, I can tell one nostril is bigger. But my whole face is swollen. So I’m hoping the nostrils will equal out. Is there a way that surgeons measure the nostrils during surgery to make them as assymetric as possible?

[@DianaMendoza-dp5ch]

It’s the swelling and it is NORMAL. I’m 6 days out and also had the same but now they’re evenly swollen. Some people will just look worse before they look better. Especially thick skin like mine- this video is so helpful

[@BeingErikaWhite]

@@DianaMendoza-dp5ch thank you! I too have thick skin. I appreciate your comment. I am using saline to cleanse my nose daily. I guess that’s okay. My surgeon didn’t tell me if I could or not.

[@DianaMendoza-dp5ch]

@@BeingErikaWhite i was told it was okay. I used hydrogen peroxide with q tips but I started using a a saline spray recently and Neosporin for the stitches. Being congested is the worst part. And they didn’t really talk about how after you stopped dripping from your nose, it starts to buildup in your nasal passages/throat, and and it’s very real to cough out and spit up pretty good blood clots.

[@BeingErikaWhite]

@@DianaMendoza-dp5ch thank you! Exactly. Didn’t talk about that at all.

[@DianaMendoza-dp5ch]

@@BeingErikaWhite I had a stitch hanging too and under my nose, of course. As long as it’s not bleeding, I feel that it should be OK. The tape is coming up from the top of my nose for a couple of days now, too… I think it’s more so because my nose is also pretty swollen, at the tip, so it’s probably lifting from that and the oil. Tomorrow will be postop day six, and I will get my splints and cast removed. I will let you know how that goes. I would call them about the stitch if it worries you. But I honestly think the stitch hanging out is fine, though probably annoying. As a nurse, I’m thinking it’s fine as long as it’s not bleeding excessively or painful.

[@Roareyknocks]

I'm debating whether or not to get a Rhinoplasty. People think I'm handsome but I feel so insecure about my big nose. I feel it looks weird and gross. But people always complement me on my face regardless. But this video right here just gave me cold feet. Maybe my nose isn't as bad as I think and I should say no to the surgery.

[@hellomeloO]

No don't get it. I got it recently and regret it. I miss my imperfect nose, it sometimes is the only shape that balances our face. Also it takes so much time out of ur life. I'm 1 month post op and still my nose feels numb. I cry every night bcs I miss my old face.

[@Bodybuildingleague]

I think this only happens after a botched job.....

[@millielouma5672]

I completely agree, it's because a doctor did something that the patient did not ask + unfortunately surgeon don't listen to you pre and post surgery they do not care...

[@eldericnoble9761]

if you go to rhinoplasty facebook pages, you will see plenty of women with perfect noses in extreme distress about how the result is terrible. i think the change and prior expectations can be very hard for some people to handle

[@brookiecookie2842]

Not true. It happened to me and my nose looks fine now.

[@brookiecookie2842]

Swelling can also cause your nose not to look right. It’s hard to have patience for one year of healing to see the final result also. I have general anxiety and I had my nose done, I had no idea post rhinoplasty syndrome was even a thing. My nose is definitely not botched but there were certain things that I did not like that bothered me to no end.

[@opinionatedperson3297]

What worries me is that u make rhinoplasty surgery but never did ur nose which really needs it!! 🤔 so it makes me feel that u know something and don't want to tell us so u keep getting customers! Because if it was a good idea to have a nose job u would've done it!!!
