I had a rhinoplasty done by a surgeon in the lehigh valley area about 2 years ago and lets just say I am far from happy with the results. I wish I would have done more research the first time around. After wasting so much time worrying about my nose and I finally found the strength to go on many consultations. I feel confident in the doctor I chose to help fix the issues with the appearance of my nose. The first doctor left me with an upturned nose, the left side of my tip is higher than the right, and there is a bump on the bridge of my nose. There also appears to be a dent in my nose, which is seen better in different types of lighting. My surgery is only a couple days away. I am soooo nervous and I am praying the second surgery is positive experience. I know it takes a lil longer for the swelling to go down after getting a revision rhinoplasty, so I plan to be patient and hope for the best.

It sounds like you did your research this time! I hope your doctor is a revision rhinoplasty/facial plastic surgeon, yes? This will make a big difference in how you feel about your results. Sorry it didn't go as you'd hoped the first time. Fingers and toes crossed that you're thrilled with this surgery!

Just had my revision rhinoplasty surgery yesterday. I feel that everything went well. The doctor said I had a lot of scar tissue and it was a bit challenging, but from what I see so far it is a big improvement than my last surgery. The doctor and staff at the surgical center were all great. My throat is really dry and my voice is a bit hoarse, so I'm drinking a lot of water and sucking on candy to help with the dryness. A little bit of tape on the tip of my nose above the stitches is sticking out on the right side of my nose, I'm not sure how it happened. I look forward to seeing the doctor tomorrow so he can see how my nose is healing. Wishing for a speedy recovery and a great outcome.

Thanks Faith. I'm feeling better. My nose is a bit sore and swollen, but I'm happy with my nose. It took a lot of courage and trust to have another surgeon work on my nose, so thank you for your compliment :)

How is it going Lele? I too chose Dr Pontell in A few weeks, I am having my rhinoplasty procedure. I am so nervous, anxious, excited, scared. I ave full faith in Dr. Pontell however. If anyone an do it, he can. The photos on his site do him no justice. The ones in his office is just pure art!

Hey philadelphia4440 :) I'm very happy with the way my nose turned out and understand all the emotions your going through. You picked a great doctor to work on you. You will get through it just fine and if you have any questions after, he is really good at answering them as soon as he can. Keep me informed on how your procedure goes. I'm sure you will be very satisfied.
