Hi everybody ...
I had a rhinoplasty 5 years ago.I wanted a smaller nose and that is why I did it.But the results were NOT good at all.Just look at the photos below (I am sorry, I don't have some before-photos here right now at this PC,but my nose was not crooked before the rhinoplasty).
The doctors here on realself gave me some very helpful advice and I appreciate that very much.
I want to have a revision rhinoplasty,because I hate my nose :-( But to be honest, I am very afraid too...Especially whan I read that many people have had bad experience and bad results with revision rhinoplasty too .....

I'm sorry you're having to seek a revision. You might want to check out our Revision Rhinoplasty community for more on this. Glad the doctors on RealSelf have been able to offer you guidance. They're great that way, aren't they? :)
Just make sure you choose an ASPS board certified surgeon who specializes in revision rhinoplasty and has lots of good Before and After photos to show you.
Looking forward to one day seeing your new and improved results!
well, yes, the doctors here are great :-) I found their advice very helpfull indeed :-)
I am considering a revision rhinoplasty,but I am afraid too, as I wrote before,because the outcome is not guaranteed , unfortunately...
but I am doing research and I am looking for a qualified surgeon ...

You can send me a mail for more info if you want.
I have left my home on 7 occasions since my surgery 6 months ago. I cry every single day. My weight has dropped down to 5 stones 2 lbs. I cannot function. I cannot work, so my income is suffering also. He forget what I had asked for at my pre op. He gave me the exact nose I said I did not want. He has given me the chopped tip look on top of all this. I had to leave my home 2 days ago to visit the pharmacy. I have known the pharmaceutical for 6 years. One of the workers burst into tears when he saw me! He said my nose is totally disfigured. And yet, when I sent my surgeon photos he said I not only look beautiful but I look like a model!!!
How insulting and hurtful is that? I wanted to ask him "does your wife also have a deformed sliced off nose too?" Because if he thinks this is attractive then surely he should be with someone who is also botched, don't you think? Well I bet you anything his wife is an absolute stunner, with a perfect normal human being's nose. He butchered me, he took away my life, happiness and freedom.
I cannot stop crying. He is the only person that thinks I look better. He is usually a great surgeon, what went wrong with my nose, I will never know. I shall now have to undergo another surgery, incur further expenses, and go through a longer recover process, not to mention have both rib and ear grafts! This is so depressing. I cannot understand how any human being can decide how they think another should look like! I thought the holocaust times were over. This is so very sad.
I am a prisoner in my own home. Everyday I wonder what my surgeon is doing right now? Knowing that he is able to go to work, be happy, continue with his life, and be free. He is also not disfigured and is in fact an absolutely incredibly handsome young man, (seriously he is), he looks 37 but my guess is he is 43 or there abouts. Yet at my age, I feel as though my life is over. I cannot see who would ever want to marry me now with my disfigurement. I probably will never have children as I am middle age. I doubt my nose can be fixed as he has botched me too much.
Even as I am typing this, I am wondering, is he sleeping in peace right now?.....well I haven't been able to sleep for more than 2 hours in one go since my surgery. I wake up crying, and panicking and stressing. I walk around my apartment like a crazy person, crying non stop. I ask myself "how could such a nice man do this to me? What have I done to deserve this?
Yes, he is a good man and is trying to help, but what he has doen to me is barbaric. Several Realself members have contacted me to ask who was my surgeon. I am sorry but I cannot reveal his name. The reason being is because I genuinely believe he made a simple mistake, and he is a good decent person. He is usually absolutely fantastic at what he does. I think my case was a one off.
So yet again, it is a beautiful day, the sun shining, but I cannot leave my home. Every time I have been out, people laugh, take photos and call me Michael Jackson.
I am even crying as I type this. It is a Saturday and I used to volunteer for a Duchenne Muscular Destrophy Charity every other week. But I haven't been able to due to my botched nose.
I am not even sure whether it is worth staying alive........
I have lost EVERYTHING because of my surgeons incompetence and disregard for not only my features but also my right as a human being to say how I would like to look like!
This has been 6 months of absolute hell. My surgeon never bothers to check whether I am okay, because he doesn't care.
He only contacts me if I contact him to ask something.
I had breats implants removed some time ago, and the explanting surgein emailed me from time to tim to see how I was doing. What a highly ethical doctor this is.
Even though my Doctor has botched me, I still wish him and his family well. But I pray he does not botch anyone else.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to read this xx
