Clearly you missed those lessons on basic manners in school, and since it’s obvious you weren't raised with any discipline at home either, I'm going to give you exactly what you deserve and just keep ignoring you. Given how much nonsense you're spewing, you aren't even remotely intelligent. You're the only person here acting like an expert when you clearly have no clue what you're talking about. Go try commenting on someone else's post, because you don't have anything smart to say and nobody cares about your pseudo-medical opinions anyway.
George Ramos11 said:driftingsurfer96.. I think you need a reality check here... we're talking about this 'bump' that you claim wasn't there before, but suddenly appears right after surgery—specifically after they did some bone 'shaving.' Look at it from an anatomical perspective for a second. It's not like the surgeon dropped a random piece of bone on the floor during the procedure and accidentally stuffed it in there. Here’s my take: there's a chance that while they were shaving down one area, a tiny fragment broke off and stayed tucked inside, which isn't a huge deal to fix later. But there's a more realistic possibility... think about when you're playing soccer and you take a hard hit, bone-on-bone, in an area where the bone is already thick. You know how a bump can grow out there? Now imagine if someone actually BREAKS the bone. We're talking about fractures here. It's pretty unrealistic to expect zero swelling or bumps after bones have been broken or manipulated. Plus, you have to trust the process. While the doctor is operating, they have a direct view of what they're doing. While you're under anesthesia, they are shaping your nose and can see exactly how it looks. Once you wake up, your body reacts with swelling and inflammation during the recovery phase. Do you really think a surgeon wouldn't notice a massive bump while they are literally working on your nose? If you went around breaking people's noses while they were in a coma, you'd definitely be able to tell if it ended up straight or crooked. It's unlikely to be a procedural error. I get that it's tough because you're the one going through it, but my points are solid. Cosmetic surgery isn't some supernatural, impossible feat. Good luck... I'm getting my cast removed on Tuesday, so I'll be interested to see how my results turned out.

Like I've already said about five times, I'll admit it could be bruising or swelling. But a bruise isn't hard like bone. My bone was NOT broken, so I didn't even have any swelling under my eyes or facial edema. My nose was "jagged." There was no reason to break it; the surgeon was supposed to smooth it out. But looking at what I have on my nose right now, it looks like nothing was smoothed at all. On top of that, I've got this hump right in the middle where everything should have been perfectly aligned.
The doctor is checking it on Tuesday, so then I'll know if it's just a hematoma or if they actually botched the job.
Honestly, I feel pretty awkward about this because I don't want to go bashing someone until things actually get cleared up and they tell me what the deal is... I had my aesthetic work done by Prof. Bedekovic.
I don't want to sound like I'm just trashing people, because let's be real, all the doctors at the Mayo Clinic are top-tier experts. It’s also possible this is still just some kind of swelling, but honestly, I highly doubt that’s what's going on. That "bump" on my nose feels hard, like bone. It’s like the whole thing was just poorly ironed out, if that makes sense.
That's why I'm waiting until Tuesday to talk to my doctor—he’s actually been great to me—so he can tell me what we're looking at and what my actual options are. But even I haven't heard of anyone walking away from cosmetic surgery with a literal hump on their nose. I get that things are swollen for a while, but you can't just spontaneously grow a hump after your nose has been leveled out.
In the meantime, I'm just depressed. I've been avoiding mirrors entirely because every time I catch a glimpse, I end up in tears.
Yeah, that’s why I went to see the Vinogradski Expert in the first place—I heard nothing but good things. And look, regarding my doctor and the septum correction, I don't have any complaints there. Of course, there's still a little swelling, obviously. But this? This is a literal bump. I don't even know how to describe it... I originally had a slightly larger nose that just needed smoothing out, basically just leveling the top part. But now I actually have this ugly hump, and my nose looks like something straight out of a witch movie. It feels hard to the touch, too. Like bone. It’s as if someone just glued a bump right there where there wasn't one before.
I spent the entire day yesterday in tears, just completely devastated. I’m going to talk to my doctor to see what can be done about this mess. I mean, if I paid for cosmetic work, I have every right to demand it be fixed if it wasn't done correctly. At least, that's how I see it. I wasn't asking for a nose like Angelina's, but if the plastic surgeon couldn't fix it, he should have just said no when my doctor asked him, instead of doing this to me.
Hey there.
A week ago, I had nose surgery at a clinic in NYC. It was supposed to be a septoplasty because my breathing was a mess, so I asked the doctor if he could also tweak the look of it while he was at it. He agreed and actually called in a colleague—a "plastic surgeon"—to handle the cosmetic side. Look, regarding the septoplasty and my main doctor, everything went perfectly. They pulled the tampons out yesterday and I can already feel myself breathing way more normally. However, the part about fixing my nose's appearance? Not so much. From what my doctor explained, this second surgeon didn't exactly break my nose or anything; he just "sanded down" the bone to straighten it since my nose wasn't even that big to begin with. Well, I took the bandages off today and wow... I have a hump on my nose. A hump!! I never had one in my entire life, and instead of a straight nose, I’m stuck with a bump. I broke down crying. I am honestly devastated.

I have a follow-up with my doctor this Tuesday, and I fully intend to ask him how on earth a hump appeared after this surgery. I feel awkward because I don't want it to seem like I'm attacking him personally—I really have no complaints about his work, and he actually went out of his way to do me a favor—but I think I have every right to ask why my nose looks worse now than it did before the operation. I'm wondering if anyone knows what my next steps should be, and whether I actually have the right to demand they fix this.
