Dr. C performed revision rhinoplasty on me last week. My first surgeon reduced the hump on the bridge of my nose, but I wanted an overall smaller effect. After doing lots of research, I decided on Dr. C, and it was a great decision!

It's only 7 days post-op, and my nose looks wonderful! Dr. C takes lots of time to go over what you want from the surgery and uses 3D imaging. My "after" profile already looks amazingly like the 3D computer profile he created. He takes the computer image into surgery with him and the result has been fantastic.

Nurse Jane and staff were so helpful and very professional. They worked with my scheduling since I drove from Mississippi to Dallas to see them and it really helped. A wonderful experience!

I'll post pics as soon as the swelling goes down a bit.

It's now been a year and a half since Dr. C performed revision rhinoplasty. My nose looks great! I had another doctor comment that the bridge was a little wide, but honestly I wanted a sort of snub nosed look. I wanted small instead of my old humped nose. So I'm really happy! I'll upload some pics now...

Great review?

Dr. listened carefully to what I wanted. Revision rhinoplasties are obviously more complicated than first-time procedures, and I did a lot of research to make sure I had the best surgeon. I'm so glad Dr. C was within driving distance, although it would have been worth a plane flight to see him.

Hi summer77 you look great!! Is the 11k only for the nj or it includes the minor surgery you mentioned?
summer77 17 Aug 2012
It was for the revision rhinoplasty only :)

Btw I was wondering if what you paid was the TOTAL cost of surgery or just the Dr. fee.

Honestly, I like the before pic a lot better! I am looking to get a revision rhinoplasty and I am wanting the surgeon to take my tip down more as it is in your before photo. It looks more natural. But of course you are beautiful both before and after. :)

If you don't mind can youu give and idea of the cost?
summer77 18 Jun 2012
It was around 11000. I had another minor surgery at the same time, so it cut down on anesthesia costs. My first rhinoplasty 15 years ago was 5000.

I too had surgery with dr C my tip is still swollen..I am 4 wks post op..i like my profile view not the front view yet.. looking foward for your pics :)
summer77 7 Jan 2011
I'm now two weeks post op, and like you, my tip is swollen. I know from my previous rhinoplasty that it takes like three months on my nose to go to its normal size. I went back and looked at pics of my previous one and by month four it looked great. So we just have to be patient I guess, but it is hard! :)
