Six Rhinoplasties and Still in Need of Revision. Is There Any Hope?

Noes was wide originally. I wanted a more refined tip with a visible bridge.What I got was nose like an anteater, one long piece of cartilage.

I have had 6 rhinoplasties in a 10 year span. I am a black woman who used a white doctor. the results have been horrific. I can not tell you the emotional distress these surgeries have caused me. after each surgery the doctor would tell me that "you are really, really swollen." I have a blubish tip with no bridge and no shape or structure to my nose. My last surgery was 10/19/09 and it is just as bad as all of the rest of them and I am now really depressed and emotionally bankrupt.

I don't know if there is any help for me. after six surgery is there a possible chance of redemption?

leave it as it is,,your nose looks ok..You dont have to be like that celebrity having the most beautiful nose-they can afford to and they do alot of atificial things..these surgeons will take yr money and will drain you mentally,,plus you have other features in yr face which are beautiful although even yr nose is ok,,so dnt consider other revisions unless you have a breathing prob)

If you don't have breathing problems, leave it the way it is. It looks O.K. You might end up having problems with the function of your nose if you do another one. It's horrible when you cant breath correctly!

I had my 4th rhinoplasty done by Dr. Pincus in Beverly Hills and I think that he did a really great job. He rebuilt my nose; I had uneven nostrils and no nose tip. He gave me a natural looking nose. I don't have the Lindsey Lohan nose of my dreams, but it's a pretty good nose. No one would ever look at it and say it's big or weird. It fits my face.Dr Pincus has done tons of reconstructions and he works with all ethnicities.I'm a Hispanic female,he knows about surgery with thicker skin types

I'm a few years out from my revision rhinosplasty and I just have to say that I love my nose! It took a year or so for the swelling to go down and I think that people who have plastic surgery have trouble evaluating themselves so it took a while for me to see what I really look like. I am so happy that I had a 4th rhinoplasty (a revision) with Dr. Pincus!!! I get compliments on my looks all the time whereas before I never did and I felt like an oddball. Dr. Pincus gave me a cute nose-I love my nose tip and my nose bridge is great!! I didn't have a nose tip for about 18 years (it was bobbed in my first nose job) so I can't stress how amazing how it feels to have a nice one.

You can PM me if you'd like pictures. I don't want these kinds of pics on the web for everyone to see and I don't think I have the software on my comp that let's me put a black bar over my eyes. I can try to but think it's going to take me a long time to get it right. The actual "before and after pics " i took 5 yrs ago were on my old laptop-which was stolen. So who knows, maybe my attempts at keeping my anonymity are in vain because some thieving a**hole might have already shown them to the world.

It's not a black or white thing sweetheart, you just got botched. The same exact thing could have happened regardless of your doc's ethnicity. Your nose looks like sh**, I would be incredibly upset and devestated too. I am so sorry for all that you have been through, I have been through the exact same thing. I have lived my life is shear misery over the past 3+ years. I can't give you any advice on whether or not to keep going. I know how hard it is though. I really do. It eats away at your soul living like that.
