Rhinoplasty

Hi guys! I had my rhinoplasty 2 days ago in London. Its a bit freaky for me to look in the mirror as i can clearly see my nostrils also my nose is very short now and looks a bit piggy?! The gap between my upper lip and nose seems to be massive too. Has any of you had similar experience? Is the tip going to go down with the swelling? pls help

I had closed rhinoplasty about 6 week ago, things kept changing all the time, but once the cast was off things sempt to settle down into one position, altho there is still some swelling, it is not at all noticible.

Who did your surgery? Did you have open/closed xxx

mmon trust me you have no idea what it looks like with the cast on! dont stress yet! xx

Honestly Mmon, loads of people have freaked out about the piggy look, on other websites too, it will settle down and once the cast is off like Hingsy says it will look completely different. You really can’t tell with the cast on! Around my top lip and underneath my nose I was quite stiff for about 3 weeks,felt weird when I talked and smiled, it was like I’d had botox around that area…….sadly it didn’t last long! My wrinkles are back lol. Good luck xxx

Hi mmon, Just seen ur post and had to reply as going through exactly the same concerns! Had my op yesterday and am worried that my nose also looks short and a bit piggy with a large gap between nose and upper lip… How is yours now 1 month on? Are u happy with the outcome? Did this go down and was it just swelling?? Anyone else had a similar experience and can help with these concerns?! Xx

Hello girls. I had my op on Monday and i am stressing out about exactly the same thing. i still have the pad on incase of oozing but when I swap it i can see my nostrils look really high up, piggy and wonky! Can anyone help me now you are all further post op! I don’t dare look at it! xx

gracey399,Its a roller coaster of emotions honey,your nose will look different every day over the next few months,bit it does eventually settle and you will be so pleased you went ahead I am,the swelling is a monster,just when you start to think oh,its going,it comes back in a different place,your nose has suffered a lot of trauma honey,give it time and don’t worry,If you do experience pain that your not sure about contact the nurse thats what they are there for,big hugs,xxx

Hey I thought that I had a pig nose when my cast was on, but once it was off I saw that it was not…

Thank you girls! Its just so scary because you are desperate for it to be nicer, and as its on your face it is so nerve wrecking! I will just have to be patient and trust it will look good! How long would you say it takes to see the results? xx

its crazy that we’re all going through the same thing!!!

I’m 1 week post op today, and I keep saying to people, do you think I’m going to look like a pig?! cause every time I look in the mirror, I feel like its really upturned!

Its nice to know I’m not the only one thinking it and also good to know that it WILL look different when the cast is off

Thanks girls xxxx

It will…. I was so worried and now I couldn’t be happier… the recovery is a roller coaster of emotions, we all go through the same thoughts happy healing. xxx

Ladies.. I’m 2 weeks po now and when I had the cast on I thought exactly the same thing! The cast came off on Tuesday and I absolutely love my new nose! Still swollen but I am very happy:) xx

Yep the miss piggy look was a bit freaky!

As soon as the cast is off it Looks much better, even with the swelling.

Showed my parents the recovery photos last weekend, and they didn’t think it was me x

The gap between the nose and mouth does look big, and area is really tight, but it does improve, I’m nearly two months now.

Happy healing x
