You have every right to be happy, happy, happy!!!!! What great results already.... and they say revisions have a longer healing time???? I cannot believe what a difference a nice bridge can make. I'm loving the picture with your daughters! I have 3 girls too! :) Happy healing and congrats on beautiful results!

Just read your story...wow! Congratulations! Your prayers were answered. I will be having a rhino revision this year, cosmetic, as well as functional work done. Im so scared. Your story gives me hope. And, we have in common that I waited 20 years for a revision! Im so worried about pain and bruising.

What was your total cost for Dr. Paranek's revision?
January 21, 2014
8700$ which included rib cartilage graft for my bridge, & ear cartilage graft for my tip. He created an interior septum bc I had none. But used existing tissue from inside my nose. Unfortunately I already have a perforation in it. He also did a turbinectomy (?) On right bc I couldn't get air on the right.

Tracy: Where do you have a perforation? On your septum? What can you Dr. P about it?
January 21, 2014
Yes in septum, up at the top. He said it would be precarious. Im not stressed, I found it a few days ago. I need to call him
January 21, 2014
I guess you can't see it from the out side? Right? Well, I guess a whole is better than no bridge at all. I hope things go well for you. Please follow up & let us know.
January 21, 2014
Yes its inside. It's not making me'whistle' so im not too concerned. I'll make an appointment. It doesn't affect the bridge :)
January 21, 2014
Well, there is always a little bad with the good. A tradeoff. Like a scar, but I am glad you are happy & I am sure Dr. P will do whatever it takes to rectify the problem.
January 21, 2014
I put up 3 more pics for ya. Hope they've clear enough to see Dr. P's handiwork. Ty for all of the encouragement!

I am a 20 year patient of his and worked with his wife for many years. He didn't really do a revision, he added a cartilage graft to augment my tip. Didn't touch anything else, no bridge work, oh, he brought in my nostrils & brought them down. I paid $5600. He charged Tracy I think $8000 or so for a rib revision. So it would be somewhere in-between those 2 prices depending on what you need down.
