“Bad rhino - do not recommend the procedure”
Rhinoplasty: NOT worth it
Pain: Uncomfortable
I do not recommend a rhino. There have been no pros whatsoever. I did it because I had a dorsal hump and wanted the tip refined. We discussed what I wanted and went over photos.
I now have a nose that is crooked, overresected and tipped up, nothing like I asked for. It does not fit my face or personality at all. After closer look at photos of his work....all his noses look the same.
The surgeon admits he is not capable of correcting it and will cost me more than I have to get it corrected elsewhere. It is overdone and will need to be rebuilt but he took out so much septum, I've been told I'll need rib to rebuild it.
If you are ready to deal with that .....I hope you feel lucky.

Hi Cathy! I'm sorry to hear of your ordeal. Who performed your surgery? Are you looking for or have you chosen a different surgeon (if you're going to have a revision that is?) I'm from Cincinnati and had the same thing happen to me. I'm looking for someone to correct it, but not sure where to begin.
