Hey, just a quick update to say that in the end I was very unhappy with the results. It really still bugs me that Matti did not even try to fulfil my requests for a tilt and instead I had a very straight nose with a slight bump on top. I'm writing this from Beverly Hills where I am two days post op for a revision rhino, boob job and lift, I had thought that Matti was the best in England so thought I'd try for the best in the US!

I probably wouldn't have gone ahead with a revision op despite being unhappy with the results, but I got into a little skiing accident in January which ruined it even more. The pictures attached are before the accident, about 10 months post op with Matti.

Woah can't believe you ended up going for revision! I really did like your nose after Matti did it, but the fact that he didn't listen to what you wanted is annoying. I won't be going with him for mine. Will you be posting pictures of your revision? Hope they got everything perfect for you! Wishing you a speedy recovery :D.

Hi, had a botched nose from Matti too ! I'm researching revision and consulted all over the UK, LA, Europe. Miami and NYC. Who did you use in LA ? Was it open or closed ? Thanks

I had surgery with Dr. David Kim in LA. He did it open surgery this time and can already tell it's much better :) xx I've written another review page for it

Great comparison pictures. I can't believe no one has noticed, but it just goes to show that the people close to us really AREN'T staring at our noses haha. And the people not close to us don't care enough to remember how our noses look :p. From someone who HAS been staring at your nose for the past few weeks, I can say that the improvement we can see is huge! Now your nose really fits and adds something special to your face :). Are you in any pain at all still?
