Cast off!
nicandsheDecember 29, 2015
I've had my cast removed, after 10 days of anguish and I am now ecstatic with the results. I have posted a new review on my new doctor, however RS would not allow me to choose the same Revision Rhino category again, so I had to post in Rhinoplasty.
New Doctor is Dr. Marc Yune, a Facial Plastic Surgeon, triple board certified and a specialist in Revision Rhinoplasty in Atlanta, GA.
Dr. Yune takes his time and gives an honest and thorough evaluation of what he can achieve. He is very calm and I just felt he would be very detailed and I was correct. My nose is straight, no longer over projected, my nostrils are normal -not as visible and very natural looking. I am overjoyed and feeling so blessed and appreciative. Dr. Yune rivals those celebrated doctors I see named here time and time again. If you are looking for a doctor in Atlanta or willing to travel, I would definitely invite you to take some time to review his background and work- he is the real deal.
Please look for my new review and pics updates.

A long while later....here we go again!

So really contemplated not doing any sort of update, because the last time I was on here I got trolled by someone telling me I looked like a man. That really sucked because it is not easy to come on here and post about something so personal. Back in the day, no one wanted to say they got plastic surgery and if you were contemplating having a procedure done- you'd be largely left to your own devices, so a site dedicated to real stories and experiences can be majorly helpful. I just don't want to get blasted because I was brave or caring enough to share!
Anyway, looking back at what I wrote- maybe I was a bit too, " sugary" not real enough...I don't know!
So, I am back at it again...Third revisions a charm (I hope!)....
Nothing so wrong with the Dr. G nose, except a few things that bring me to this decision..
So, swelling is a funny thing. I know now that your result one month can change over the next months and even more so over a couple of years.
So, I moved from Los Angeles and my new doctor, who I will not name yet is a facial plastic surgeon who is focused on nose surgery. One thing he told me is many doctors don't follow up with the cortisone injections that help refine your nose results over time. I am wondering if anyone has any insight or experience with this? It's funny but even after two previous nose surgeries, none of the doctors ever brought that to my attention.
So, the healing, swelling and whatever else goes on my nose over time rounds at the tip. Also, there is an overprojection (slightly pig-like) that remains.....I don't like my nostrils being so apparent and would like to lessen this if possible.
So, yeah....will be going in and hopefully post updates for those interested....

You are extremely beautiful and certainly do not look like a man you, people can be horrible.
I do get what you want but I also really do like your nose on you and I think your nose looks nicely defined in your last photos.
Will you be needing rib or anything like that for length?
I had a nose similar to yours now and I underwent a rib op about a year ago to try and achieve the same sort of result that your hoping for with a double board certified doctor who is rather popular on this board and he completely destroyed my nose.
I thought I was safe and making the best decision and now I would give anything to have my old nose back.
So just be careful, sometimes when things are good enough it's best to leave them alone.

The thing is I feel like my nose doesn't look like those pictures anymore- I feel like it has "settled" into its final look. My nose in all those pics still had swelling in it- which I would have been okay with had it stayed that way, but now it has shrunk into shape and the nostrils are the first thing you see when you look at me- at least that's the way I feel!
Anyway, I will take your advice to heart and really appreciate you for taking the time to give it and share your experience. I must admit, I fear becoming someone who keeps getting surgery after surgery or trying to attain something that maybe can't be attained- I hope whatever decision I make it is one I am satisfied with. Thank you!

btw, no rib...ear cartilage, possibly rib if he can't harvest enough from my ear.

I had the coritison injections after a revision. Their effects tend to be temporary because my nose would look refine for a period of time and then it reverts back. Please see my review.
Your current nose is very nice. But I understand how you feel. Good luck with the new doctor. I hope you get what you're looking for.

Thank you for the info Zooster! I will post updates if I decide to go through with it!

So sorry you had to deal with the Internet trolls. Ugh. We should all be supportive of each other. I think you're very pretty, and your nose looks great. I know though, that a million people could tell you that, but if you're not happy with it, the compliments don't mean much. I've had 2 rhinoplasties, and definitely don't love my nose. I have thick skin and had a lot of scar tissue removed during my revision, so my Dr. the second time around was pretty aggressive with the cortisone shots. I totally agree with zooster, I felt like any sort of improvement was short-lived. I can feel scar tissue in my tip, not sure how much it helped. You surely don't want to over do the cortisone either, it can lead to serious skin thinning and tissue damage. Hard to find a happy medium I guess. Scar tissue is a huge pain :(

I love your nose you look great. Please tell me is your new doctor in Atlanta? If so can you message me his name bc I am thinking of going to see dr G but I will have to travel from Atlanta. Would appreciate if you would share. Been searching like crazy to find the right dr to do a revision rhinoplasty.
