Rhinoplasty: Stories

Because of his expertise and great reputation and since you, yourself believe he is nice and genuine, I would talk to him about a revision. You may have a better idea of what you want and don't want this time so perhaps the communication will be better. A lot of doctors will often do revisions, if they performed the primary, for little or no cost. If it makes you feel better, you can go to other consults, but in my opinion, he's a hard doctor to top. There are other very skilled poplular doctors, but a lot of them have mixed reviews and it will cost you a lot less to stick with the same doctor. I think it's impossible for a doctor who has done so many rhinos to have a 100% satisfactory rate. I understand how depressing this is as I am going through the same thing and think about my nose way too much. Going through another nose job is the last thing anyone wants to do but on the other hand, I would love to be able to breathe again and look more like my old self, if possible. Looking forward to seeing your pictures to see what about your nose, you're unhappy with. Good luck.

It's very nice to know I'm not alone out there. At this point I'm very scared about going back to him to revise it. I don't want to make this issue worse... I'm so puzzled as to why I am the fluke in this case because I can't find a negative review about him. Should I go back to have him revise it? Or do you believe I should look else where? I've never been so low about something in my life and, like you, looking at old pictures right now is very difficult for me. I just want to have a day where I don't have to think about my stupid nose. I'll post pictures soon.

I completely understand. I appreciate your honesty. I'm in the same boat...I should not have done this because I never hated my nose...I thought I would have a small change done and ended up looking like someone else. Now that I look at all my old pictures I wish that I could look like that again. Funny how we don't appreciate what we have until it is gone.

You do have one of the best surgeons. Have you spoke to him about a revision? I have met two ladies on here that had their revisions done by him and they are thrilled. I am hoping to have a consultation with him soon. I read so many good reviews about him. Hope you feel better soon and keep us posted. Take care.

I really hate posting a negative review because he was so nice and genuine. His name is Dr. Cochran.. I'm just really sad and disappointed.

I'd love it if you'd post photos so we can visualize what you're describing.

Hi there, I'm very sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. You had surgery around the same time I did. Would you be willing to share the name of your doctor and perhaps some before after photos so we can have a better idea of what you're talking about? I know of a good Rhinoplasty Specialist in your area, which is most likely the same doctor. I was considering him for my revision. I understand that there is not going to be one doctor with 100% patient satisfactory and that there is always going to be some risk but the thought of another failed surgery is too much. I also regret my surgery and miss the way I used to look. My new nose is a mess and is just not me. I do hope it continues to change and get better for you over time. Thank you for sharing.
