Had my original rhinoplasty by a very nice plastic surgeon in Dallas in 2005 with suboptimal results (see photos). Had a revision rhinoplasty 5 days ago by Dr. Cecil Yeung in Houston TX. My only regret is not going to Dr. Yeung originally. Had he done my original rhinoplasty I would not have needed a revision. The doctor in dallas was very nice and I prefer not to name him. Dr. Yeung specializes in facial plastics including rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, facelifts, blephs and other things as well. He is an amazing surgeon and produces amazing results. I am a physician in Houston and recommend Dr. Yeung for any plastics procedure as in my opinion he is one of the best facial plastic surgeons in the entire country. After my first rhinoplasty I was left with a bulbous tip, my tip was rotated significantly to the left and from a profile view there was still a slight hump in the middle and the tip projected to far out. Dr. Yeung corrected all of these things and did an amazing job.

Here are some photos from the post op period

The few days post op weren't bad at all. Pain was very minimal. I had pain medications just in case but honestly I would have been fine with plain tylenol (I have a notoriously low pain threshold so I was surprised at the minimal post op pain!). There was of course some swelling and black eyes which was to be expected, but it was much less than I had expected. Honestly apart from the looks I feel like I could have gone back to work the next day! Dr. Yeung had to take some cartilage from my right ear (other sources had been depleted with the first rhinoplasty). The pain from this was minimal as well, I just couldn't sleep on the right side for several days.

I am glad your revision was a success. Your nose looks great already! Congrats. I had my primary in 2001 and was not happy with the results. 3 months ago I had a revision and glad I did. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Zooster, how are you, I ve contacted your doctor ,dr "kofi" after reading your post, he was so nice and so helpful, he would email me back on a weekend and late at night if I send a message at night!! he added me on skype to have a skyp consultation as soon and he is back from vacation. that is just great and nice of him to respond personally on his free time.

Hi nothappy111. I'm glad to hear that. You'll even like him more after your consultation! Good luck and please let me know if I can be of any help to you!

thank you! it's scary journey. It's nice when to have patients like yourself sharing details and pictures .it does help. my nose is different than yours, you wanted a smaller ,I need to rebuild my nose as it was made smaller ,and it s collapsed now. what i liked about dr kofi so far , is the fact that he made himself avalaibl on skyp and he gave me his personal email so i can email him anytime. his sent his last email while in vacation!!. considering that I don 't have my primary surgeon personal or at least a direct email adress. I have to email his assistant.

Before and after photos from original rhinoplasty
mjholcombJune 25, 2014
Her are my before and after photos from my original rhinoplasty in 2005. I also had genioplasty performed at the same time (permanent alternative to chin implant). Genioplasty aspect was fine, but looking at the before and after photos from the rhinoplasty I now realize the plastic surgeon in Dallas didn't really do much. The post op photos are only a few months after my surgery, therefore there was still some swelling that does a good job of masking what the final result was. For the final result see my preop photos prior to my revision rhinoplasty. In my opinion my nose looked overall either the same or maybe slightly worse? The genioplasty aspect of it looked great and therefore overall I felt like my appearance had improved (solely because of the genioplasty/chin)
