20 Years Old, Revision Rhinoplasty - Birmingham, UK

No I'm not, he no longer works for the company! Do you think that the photos are a realistic expectation? I'm so so scared of something going wrong again it's making me feel constantly sick with worry! Glad to hear yours went well

Glad you're not doing it with the same surgeon. I'm not a doctor but IMHO I think your desired nose is achievable under the hands of a skilled surgeon. All the best and please keep us updated.

From your experience of researching revisions .. With the case of the over resected dorsum where the bone dips, will shaving the septal cartilage improve this do you think? I have thin skin so a graft to augment the dorsum would clearly be visible.. I'm hoping he won't take off too much septal cartilage!! Ahhhhh

I would really be wary of doing any shaving, especially cartilage removal but of course I am unfamiliar with the ins and outs of your nose. Don't be so sure of the notion that grafts will show due to your thinner skin- in skilled hands, it could go undetectable by the average eye. You really want to focus on preserving structural integrity in rhinoplasty, especially the second time around. Good luck! I feel your frustration.

I know, I'm absolutely terrified.. The supratip is being shaved and septum straightened, septal cartilage will be used to support the septum and for spreader grafts. The tip cartilage is just going to be re aligned.. I'm going to make sure that no tip cartilage is removed! Do you think my nose looks bad at the moment? :( I can't help being subjective and I like to hear what other people think!

I truly do not think your nose looks bad at the moment at ALL. It does not scream "nose job" to me, as plenty of people have natural little "deformities" or nose characteristics. You do not look like a botch job to me. Additional refinement and added structure performed correctly would look very nice. It is easy for people to say they would love to have a result like yours because they feel their "bad" nose job is worse, however any bad surgery is utterly devastating, and we only know what we have been through. So while I can objectively say you look beautiful, or I wouldn't touch it, etc etc, if you find it hard to cope with, I think you could also get excellent revision results with someone who specializes not just in revision, but with the specific techniques that need to be implemented in your revision. There are great revisions out there that require no grafts, and great ones that do. So you want someone who does lots of grafting work. Good luck- you are beautiful!!!!

Thank you so much! Although I think I've just been scrutinising it so much in the mirror, and looking at photos realising these problems were evident all along! I was just so happy to be rid of the beaky long nose from before that I didn't notice. I'm absolutely terrified of another operation, not sure if it's the anaesthesia or fear of it going wrong or looking completely different ( despite the surgeon saying frontally it won't be much different) . I am hoping that after the changes will be small and an improvement that will last a life time.. But this is all I can think about at the moment and it's awful!

I've seen a lot of positive reviews from past patients and the patient advisors twin sister had hers done and she absolutely loved it... I'm constantly thinking whether or not I should go through with it? If I turn up on the day and change my mind and want a less invasive procedure can I just say to make my nostrils and columella even? :( up and down
