1 month post-op - Toronto, ON

you know, i think you look gorgeous. i love the front view, which is the hardest view to love/change. i hope to have a result like yours. i can see you had an alar base reduction? i truly hope for one, as i hate the width of my nose. you look good. focus on how gorgeous you are now. congrats!

I haven't had my nose job yet. Its scheduled for May 28. Seeing that you had two procedures on your nose would you advise not to do this. Ultimately its my choice but its nice to hear other peoples opinion who have experience. I hope you are loving your nose.

hello beautiful! I too had a septo/rhino with dr rival, it was on april 16 and im about 2 weeks post op... so far its pretty good...major improvement and nothing went terribly wrong(i totally had the feeling something would of went terrible with dr solomon during my consult with him eek) anyways...there is this one thing bugging me...i have a little bump on one side I didn't quite have during cast/splint removal...its very veryy small and almost impossible to see at profile view.. and its much less than what I Initially had pre-op.. but still...I know its there and even though the tip is looking great so far I cant get over the bridge...I kinda wanted perfection in that aspect but oh well..MY search results have come up with inflammation from the fracture site of the bone(since its the side of bridge) dr.rival thinks its swelling...who knows but in the event that it "grows" or becomes worst over time during healing, I was wondering if you had to pay for your revision? I heard on these type of blogs that his revision policy is that it would be free and you would only need to pay for the anaesthesia? but I'm guessing that would be up to him to assess if its his error or severely under-operated etc etc...would love if you could shed more light on your revision process just incase this is worst case scenario for me..I dont really want to bother him about this 2 weeks post-op, I'll just look insane even though I swear its not swelling hmm...maybe callous? could just be a weird illusion grr hate post op healing!!! time will tell....well hopefully you see this post soon, youre the only person on here that had a revision by him! To anyone else reading this I will definitelly put in a review 2-6 months post op for you all to read aswell :) I really think these personal reviews really help us make our decision on something so expensive and permanent and I intend to pay it forward! and remember, rhino is one of the hardest procedures in plastic surgery and every nose is intricate and unique! please dont be discouraged if you have a surgery upcoming or would like to book with him! I believe he's still one of the best and has made a lot of patients happy! so far all I can stress to all of you is to definitely communicate clearly in what youre expecting and make SURE you are on the same page and do your research and bring pics if you can! happy healing to all! :)

Any pictures you can share? This has been a rollar coaster for you. I hope things are better. I think you should see if you can talk to the doctor about how you felt at your last appointment. Its not healthy to keep things to yourself as I am learning also to stand up for what I believe in.

Thanks for all the pictures, I'm having a rhinoplasty in November but only my close family knows about it, I will be seeing almost my entire family soon after the surgery and don't really want them to see me with bandages/bruises on my face and also hopefully they won't notice.. and you look great, like a brunette Lana del Rey (but a lot more natural, like if Lana's surgery had been more subtle and no duck lips) lol I mean that as a compliment though

wow you didnt have any bruising or swelling, amazing!! my surgery is in 2 days and im feeling anxiety haha

Hey, I was researching "uneven nostrils" after rhinoplasty and came upon your review! I am 2 and a half weeks post op and my nostrils look very uneven, very similar to yours except mine are noticeable at front view. How did they turn out now that it's been a few months?

Hey! I was wondering now that its been over a year, have you gone through with a revision? Was one needed? How are you feeling about your nose now?

Hey, I saw Dr Rival yesterday for a consult. I also have a bump on the left side of my nose (due to an injury when I was young). Reading all the reviews I'm feeling better and more confident about the surgery. Your nose looks beautiful! Did you have to go in for a revision? Is the bump still there?

are you happy with it ? I am considering Dr rival and you seem not to happy with your nostrils and the bump - has the swelling gone down? Thanks btw. Def not going to see Solomon

Honestly your results still look gorgeous despite your concerns!!! Thank god people don't also notice these little things about ourselves like we do!!
