Revision Rhinoplasty with Dr. Ahmed Abdullah. I Know this is the LAST TIME !! oh, and I CAN BREATHE! Dubai, AE

Hey everyone!

Been over a year since I last wrote anything here!

It's been 2 years since my rhinoplasty and it's been a very up and down time. Last time I wrote, i said I would stick with filler to correct the bridge when needed and that is exactly what I've been doing and overall, I'm happy with my nose.

I had some filler inserted into the top left hand side of my nose, on the bridge around 2 months ago now and overall it looks good. Without this filler once a year it's quite obvious there's an indentation but to be fair, I would rather spend on filler once a year than go through the whole rhinoplasty experience again.

I actually quite like my nose now. It's far slimmer than it used to be and the tip looks good too. It's not perfect but Dr Ahmed didn't promise me perfection he promised me improvement and it's much improved to what it was before my surgery with him.

Guys, It's taken TWO years for me to see my true final shape! Please please please remember that swelling takes time to go down and the shape of the nose will change dramatically from month to month in the first months post op and will continue to change months and over a year to two years later before it settles down. My nose today looks almost nothing like it did 6 months ago!

I think now it's finally settled down and I actually get compliments on my cute nose!

I admit I was angry with Doctor Ahmed and refused to take his calls because I was so upset and distraught a year ago. I made a call to the clinic close to tears telling them I look disfigured. In reality this was STILL swelling along with the indentation which was very easily fixed in the end ( at another clinic)

My advise is - be patient. Be very patient.

If you don't like what you see, wait and wait some more!

Talk with your doctor! If you freak out, take a deep breathe and talk to your doctor!

If a year passes and any obvious dents, lumps or bumps are still visible talk to your doctor again about the options.

Overall Doctor Ahmed in the end, did give me the nose I wanted. Okay, there's a small imperfection but it's easily corrected.

I've come to realise that in life we cannot seek perfection. This is not the reality of life.

I'm happy with my decision to not go for another surgery and I'm happy that I did go ahead with Dr Ahmed.

Filler once in a while, once every year is a small price to pay!

Wishing you all the best of luck in life and in getting the nose you always dreamed of.

Hey guys ,

First of all I want to say thank you for all the messages of support and understanding. It means plenty to me !

After much thought and consideration I've decided against another revision. I've consulted with two surgeons and one revision expert and all have agreed that I can have filler to correct the issues I do have. I will go with the filler for now and see how I feel in another year. To be honest , I will never have a perfect nose and as one surgeon said " Why would you want a perfect nose , beauty is in small imperfections and your imperfections are small " I just don't think I have it in me emotionally to go through the pain, tears , swelling and financial woes that come with surgery and especially not for a fourth time. I will say it again, Dr Ahmed did the very best he could with what he was presented with ( my previous nose ) it's so much nicer and I think after some filler I'll be more than ok. Hey, if I decide to go for another revision in a year or two then so be it but for now , filler it is.

I think we all seek perfection as humans but we forget we're just that ...humans.

I'll let you all know how the filler experience goes and post a before and after. Thank you all so much for the support and love.

It's with a heavy heart that I post this. My unfortunate luck with failed rhinoplasty has struck again. It's been months and months since I've posted but now it's been over the one year mark I thought I'd update. It's been one year and one month since my rhino.

My frontal view is quite frankly , awful. Dr ahmed had warned me that it won't be a perfect nose and there would only be so much improvements he could do since it would be by third revision. It's much thinner than it was which is a plus , no more of the old flat and open roof deformity but it's very assymetrical. I noticed the assymetry quite early on but the Dr reassured me it's just swelling. Well , it's been one year and one month and I still have assymetry that's very obvious. I have a lump in my left nostril and the right nostril is collapsed. I had to have filler at the top of my nose to fill out a dent too.

Overall I'm incredibly depressed and sad. Dr ahmed didn't promise me a perfect nose and I understand he had 3 prior surgeries to work around and fix but now I'll most definitely be needing a fifth op as the assymetry is very obvious to the point people ask if I've bumped the left side of my nose !

I'm considering travelling to LA from Dubai to have a revision and now in the process or research.

Please anyone reading this, who would you suggest for a revision in the Beverly Hills area?

I'm so unhappy and I'may truly fed up.

Sorry this isn't a happy ending , I so wish it was.
