I am 61 years old and had rhinoplasty in 1965. Because of the techiniques used then my nose needed revision.now. Revision rhinoplasty is very specialized because of the difficulties involved in correcting an old surgery. I did my due diligence and there was only one physician in Seattle that I would let perform surgery on me, and that was Dr. Naficy. My surgery involved correcting a deviated septum, opening the ostia (sinus openings). To rebuild my nose he performed a repair nasal vestibular stenosis, using a graft of my rib cartilage. I am currently 9 weeks past surgery and healing well. Rhinoplasty results typically take a year to be completely refined but everything looks great now and time will do the rest.

You look incredible!! What an inspiration. Bless you for braving through it for all of those years. And it goes to show, maybe it won't be fixed right when you want it to be, but it's not impossible. Love your story so much!

Ps- how was your experience with the rib cartilage being harvested? My revision would require such as well.
