Hi Doctor,
I was the victim of an unprovoked attack several ears ago which many family and friends witnessed. This attack was on my nose which I have since had reconstructive surgery on for both aesthetic improvement and to help me breath a little better.
The first surgery took place a day or two after the brutal attack (by a family member) and had little to no improvement on my breathing or devastating aesthetic appearance. I was 17 at the time.
Fast forward two years and I underwent another similar procedure which was somewhat satisfactory in helping me breath, and while some aesthetic improvement was achieved it was minimal and I was still left with a crooked nose which affected my confidence. Now at 34 years of age I've had an accident which, yet again, has affected the appearance of my nose. I have a rather large hump on the bridge of my nose and I've also developed a grossly enlarged lump at the tip of my nose.
Consequently, this has had a huge impact on my mental health and self esteem. I am living a reclusive existence and I'm, at this point, not functioning normally and/or living life to the full as I should be. My low self esteem has effected my overall general mental health, which is declining daily, thus me not being able to function properly in the real world and go to work. This is my final hope as I write to you now. I would be immensely grateful for any help you could offer me in regards to my nose, which I feel is way beyond vanity as it is effecting me psychologically and leaving me with no quality of life.
Please help me, or point me in the right direction. Your help would mean the world to me as the bump on bridge of my nose and the lump (which is advancing at an alarming rate) on the tip of my nose, is dominating my thoughts everyday, from the moment I awake to the moment I go to bed. I also have no social life.
Thank you in advance for any help you might offer me.
