$7,000
I chose Mike Majmundar. The surgery was done the second week in February. He is a facial plastic surgeon in Roswell, GA, who specializes in revision rhinoplasty. My open revision cost $7,000. He said Dr. Davis had removed too much cartilage, therefore leaving my nose with too little support. He had to stitch my tissue to my septum to provide some type of structure. While bisecting some internal scar tissue, he "slipped" through my nose with the scalpel during the procedure, leaving me with a scar on the outside of my nostril. My nose is straighter, but not totally straight. I was advised it would not be possible to ever operate on my nose again without causing negative effects.
Please refer to my prior review of the original surgeon.

I thought doctors could remove cartilege from other parts of your body and use it to reconstruct a nose that is lacking cartilege? I don't want to cause you any alarm, but something does not sound right about your surgeon and what he did. You might want to seek another opinion. I am not sure what the laws are in Georgia, but I believe you have one year after the procedure to sue for malpractice. You might want to see a med-mal attorney as well and find out if you have a case. If this doctor did damage to the extent that you cannot have another surgery, I don't think they did a proper job.

That was the original plan, but he told me the cartilege left on my tip was so thin, he couldnt stitch anything to it. He said it would shred what was left ???

He did a neck/facelift on a woman I know and it had to be redone a few yea4s later bc she still had a double chin and lumps. The second time he did it a lot of the skin on her cheek died and she now has bad scars. He is helping them w some treatment but they will always be there. Her ears took a long time to look mostly normal again too. She is one of those cool people who says if it could happen it would happen to her, however it seems pretty odd to me.

I had a revision with Dr. Mike Majmundar and my result is very bulbous (top-down and width- wise) and asymmetrical. My nose looks exactly like yours from that angle! Another reviewer posted that they, too, have a huge a bulge on one side after a revision with Dr. Mike Majmundar. It's so unfortunate and depressing! He is not skilled or talented in this area.
Thanks for your honest and thoughtful review. I had a similar issue. I think some noses are harder to operate on? That's my theory anyway.
