I hope you're doing well. It has been over 4 years since my revision. Last year in August I had a second revision with Boahene. The purpose was to shorten my long nose and refine and elevate the tip. After the 2nd revision my nose looked shorter and the tip more refined but I noticed there was a hump on the bridge. The surgeon told me if it doesn't go away then he could shave it in the office and he did last March. It has been 5 months and the hump is still there. Very disappointed. I am posting the photos that were taken at the surgeon's office. The after were taken less than 2 weeks ago. These are the results of 2 revisions and a touch up in the office under local. I really wish I didn't have a second revision. My nose was long after the first revision because the Dr. put extension grafts. But it was straight. The tip is better post revision but the profile is ugly. I like how my profile looked prior to revision. It was more feminine and elegant. Now the nose has a hump and makes me look old.
Very unhappy and I don't believe these surgeries were worth the money and time I spent. I only planto leave these photos for a short time. After that if you want to see my photos you may pm me. Thanjs

Over 3 years post revision
Been 3 years and a couple of months since revision. Hard to believe. My nose is pretty much the same since last time I updated. There's improvement post revision in certain aspects like the tip and nostrils. But the tip is still bulbous and long. The lower third of the bridge is wide. From some angles the profile is fine but from the right side it looks long and pointing down. Posting some photos.

I think you look lovely but I can see what you mean. I think it should not be a difficult procedure in the right hands. Check out Lucian Ion in London. Worth travelling for the result. xo

Thanks. I do appreciate support and positive comments but I even appreciate it more when someone agrees with what I describe. I wish I could travel but at present it's not feasible for me. A number of surgeons said it's a difficult revision so I'm not sure if another procedure would be worth it!!

Hi. Thanks, I agree it's much improved compared to pre revision. I didn't need rib/ear cartilage as I had enough septum!

I wonder how these remaining issues could be resolved. I'm super curious if they even can be. Like maybe those of us born with more tissue are just out of luck for archiving a certain look??? You always look pretty and your makeup is beautiful. I know how it feels to have lingering insecurities so thanks for being open and honest in your reviews!

I've wonder that too. My surgeon said he could revise it but not sure how much it will improve and whether it's worth going through another procedure and recovery. Thanks for the compliments. The tip looks huge when I don't wear makeup btw even in non selfies. When I see my photos with makeup I tell myself nothing wrong with the nose!! Hope you're liking your results :)

I think it looks good, natural, fits your face. I know you wanted more refinement but what u have is nice and natural ! Are you thinking about revision?

Thanks. It's an okay nose and at least doesn't have an operated look. I have an appointment with my surgeon in a couple of weeks yo discuss the things that bother me.

I don't know....to me you look gorgeous. You have a really beautiful face. I swear I can't see the things you feel are wrong--and I say that as a frequent visitor of your updates. You're just so pretty and his work is so subtle, but it still made a very nice very impactful improvement.

Hi Zooster. I was thinking about it to take my bump down , but after seeing so many stories on here , I'm rethinking . I've seen too many tragedies , it worries me . Maybe , it's not worth the risk. i would like to keep my ethnicity in tact so I really have to find someone who respects that .

It looks natural and you have a great profile (straight and the tip is adequately projected)!

Thanks for the positive compliment. I thought my profile is a bit over projected especially from the right side. But I guess it's not bad. How are you and how is your nose now?

Literally, I'm trying to get a nose that looks like yours, your projection is perfect. I just had a procedure to actually elongate/project my nose...it's apparently a very tricky procedure. I might go under the knife again if my doctor thinks it's worth it. Anyway, your nose looks good now and thanks for listing the grafts your surgeon used! I might even ask my surgeon to use similar grafts.

You are stunning, striking, who cares about the nose, nobody sees the nose, but a beautiful woman! Hugs!
