I had a rhinoplasty in done by Dr. Clinton...

WORTH IT$4,500
I had a rhinoplasty in done by Dr. Clinton Humphrey in Kansas City 11 months ago. Right after I got the cast off I was crushed because it was so high (nostrils showed a lot), wide, and slightly crooked (leans to the left). He assured me it would come down. It hasn't. Look at my question for a before photo and photos at 1 month out from surgery. Here are some photos from 11 months out. As you can see, my nose basically hasn't changed since the 1 month mark..
On top of this, my breathing is worse than it used to be (even though I had a septoplasty at the same time as my rhinoplasty to make my breathing better). He told me I may have some nasal valve collapse now.
Bottom line, I would not recommend getting a rhinoplasty unless your nose is severely deformed. It just isn't worth it. Try to enjoy and be thankful for what you've got!

Your nose doesn't show very well in these photos. You didn't post before photos so we can see how your nose looked before surgery. I am sorry about your disappointment in the op.You can consult other surgeons especially if you have breathing issues. Good luck.

I am so sorry for what happened to you. I'd say he should revise it for free if the surgery wren't so problematic. Good luck.

I just had a revision by Dr. Humphrey a week ago. He said he wanted to do it for free and that his patients rarely breathe worse after surgery (most of them breathe much better). I'm extremely happy I gave him another chance! Just a week after surgery I'm breathing amazingly well and my nose looks so much better! Feel free to read my latest update:)

I think you nose looks good. You might want to get a revision to straighten it. That`s probably why the breathing worsened. I don`t think the nostrils are too high. You probably just got used to your previous nose a lot and now feel uncomfortable with a new look. I`d not recommend going to the same surgeon if he didn`t deliver from the 1st time.

I also had a disappointing rhinoplasty by Dr. Scott Chapin in Doylestown, PA My nose looked worse afterword because one side collapsed during surgery. Now I have a crooked and large nose. It is very noticeable in all my photos because my nose turns to one side. Just remember, there are no guarantees and per my attorney, unless you are severely deformed afterward, there is nothing you can do.

It was totally worth it for me!
