Loving my nose
I’m falling more and more in love with my nose and my face. I’ve received so many compliments and my insecurity level has improved. It’s almost hard to even remember I went through the nightmare of my botch surgery. When I see a photo, I have PTSD.
For those out there suffering, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Update:
Today was the second day I've taken my mask off at work (were a little behind). I was so nervous because of my nose. A girl told me today " I know this is really weird to say, but I love your nose. " I almost hugged her, after everything I've been through, I'm so happy. Thank you so much Dr. Motykie for everything!
Complicated Revision Rhinoplasty, No Grafting
In 2020, I began my second search for a revision. I saw another review on here of a nose Motykie corrected (since was removed) that was a very similar case to myself. I went in for a revision with another doctor who was suppose to be a revision specialist. I came out with a nose that resembled one of the seven dwarfs from snow white. I was WAY over grafted. I was left in such terrible shape by this doctor, I also developed a serious infection 3 days after surgery. My experience was so extremely traumatizing, I was terrified to have another surgery. Thankfully, I was encouraged to do so, to move forward and regain my life again. This review will be extremely honest, as I have searched these boards and many others for countless hours to find my doctor.
MY NOSE: I had a 1 CM septal perforation created by my previous doctor, previously had a huge infection that required a drain. created added scar tissue, delicate skin. I was way over grafted and my cartilage was twisted in my tip, my right side had collapsed.
DR. MOTYKIE: Polite, reserved, listened
OFFICE: Wait times are a bit crazy, they are busy. The front desk staff was okay, maybe not professional at all times. Its Sunset Blvd and a plastic surgery office, they make reality tv about this stuff for a reason. Overall, everyone was nice.
DAY OF SURGERY: Exceptional, I felt taken care of. I felt like I spent the price I spent for my surgery. The nurse was so caring and everyone was reassuring. I was so terrified.
THE SURGERY: Dr. Motykie only performs closed rhinoplasty. This was not ideal for me to get my desired nose, but I knew it was less traumatizing to the nose. After everything I went through, I felt it was the best option for my case. Most doctors turned me down because of my perforation, it’s a risk. I was so grateful Dr. Motykie was willing to take on my case, he was confident he could avoid the area completely. He did, he left the perforation alone, my nose feels stable. If anything changes in the future, I will update.
HEALING: Okay, what you expect. The team was super responsive if I had a concern and again, I felt taken care of.
RESULTS: He greatly improved my situation, in fact, he gave me my life back. My swelling was extreme, like CRAZY. The second the cast came off, my nose blew up like 5x the size. I was shocked! I drank lots and lots of water. My nose went through a lot of trauma only one year prior and I’m 16 months out and still the nose changes. THE SWELLING IS REAL, you have to be strong and have to prepare for it if you do a revision.
NOW: The appearance is not my desired absolute perfect nose I’ve been seeking all my life. But after what I went through and the nose I was born with and the last one I was given, it’s a 8 out of 10. Ultimately, I knew my aesthetic was different then Motykie’s and that I wasn’t going to be fully satisfied. I like a long skinny nose, this one is very short and wider than I like. There wasn't a lot to work with as well, if we are being fair. Every doctor has a style, make sure you study them carefully and be sure you love his style. In my case, I liked his style, not love. But over what I had, I would have taken it immediately. I’m learning to love this nose and I don’t regret my choice in going to him. I’m done seeking perfection in my nose, I’m grateful I still have one in all honesty and I’m grateful to Dr. Motykie. I mean it when I say Dr. Motykie gave me my life back. I was extremely depressed, I was insecure, it was very difficult going through a botch plastic surgery. I'm happy to be back from the darkness.
