I Had Rhino Revision and S-lift Done, Same Time - West Palm Beach, FL

Just scheduled another consult with nose Doc to correct errors. I feel boched.

I am sorry I had t t that was less than average work but that's your face a much bigger deal

Hi Silverlegend. I can not agree more about the stuff that goesw wrong, or not expected. I started reading posts of others more now. My right eye is still sooooo dry. I had my eyes re-checked last week due to all of it, because of dryness and blurred vision it causes. I am still using eye drops. I am sure being numb for 5 months is also unpleasant. Who did your surgery if I can ask? Please, stay well, and thank you for your warm words. It truly helps.

My dr is Timothy miller of San Clemente. My eyes also became more prone to allergies. I learned some things, Never rub your eyes keep yr hands away. Keep makeup away if u hurt at all. Even now if I use any makeup, concealer mascara, eyeliner I get it off as soon as I can. I have a review under facelifts. If u go to my profile u can go to the link.

Hi Silverlegend. Thank you for you post. Mine is not allergy related, but nerve issue and decreased motor control over right eye resulting in lower lid drop and dry eye. It is getting much better, but it was scary and not very good looking for a while. Thank you again, I will look at your review, hope you had more luck.

Thank you so much Financegirl. I appreciate you support. I am being patient.

Be careful. My facelift. Etc took 7 hours. You have done a lot of research but haven't had surgery yet. Never tell someone who has already gone under the knive you're surprised it was done at all.

SL, What usually adds hrs is the combined procedures and the starting point of the patients saggin, baggin and draggin as Dolly Parton once said. And that is why i commented that 8 hrs seemed long. Having just the 2 procedures and the fact that she is a beautiful lady to start with usually, not always, mean less time. But I totally see your point about not having gone under the knife and how that limits my understanding of this process. I didn't realize that your surgery had taken 7 hrs but I can see now how that seems perfectly reasonable...grace60

Monika, Nose feels rigid long after noticeable swelling ...or at least noticeable to others so it is probably on the mend. And I only focused on your face lift being an S lift and not a mid face lift so that is contributing big time to the concentration of swelling in the cheek and nose. Were you under general or IV anesthesia? You have age on your side when it comes to healing so the fact that the eye is improving is a real plus and a sign that there is no long term issue. You are a beautiful lady and you had, as you said, very little in terms of the obvious aging that brings most of us to plastic surgery. As I mentioned when I posted to you Sept 6 I wish you all the best...grace60

Monika, This was revision rhino, correct? So you've been thru the surgery and probably remember that rhinoplasty isn't painful but it is a slow healing surgery. I was in a very minor car accident years ago that caused a midline shift in the nose. I remember the swelling went on forever, always worse in the morning and always in the tip. But after the first couple of months no one but me noticed anything. And the fact that yours was a revision doubles down on the whole thing. Did they have to do any grafts from ear cartilage or rib? If you had enough septal cartilage then you were spared the extra trauma and time of harvesting graft material from either of those two places. Anyway, It looks great...well proportioned and so the good news is that you won't need to do anything else to it. And i'm sure it's less about your husband not liking it than it is him wanting you to be happy with the results. Lucky you; you've been blessed with great looks and you have a great spirit and attitude AND you have a keen desire to understand the process you are passing through. All of those should make for eventual complete healing and a great result....grace60

Yes, thank you Grace60. I am 46, and I had IV anesthesia. My nose is expected to be rigid, but it is wide, swelling still?

Grace60. Thank you for all your support. I means a lot. I want others to know what to expect if they decide to do a procedure. Face is very important, and honestly for anyone out there: ask you Doc if they did surgery on any famous people. For some reason they have better results: Jennifer Aniston - nose, Joan Rivers-probably everything and she looks stunning!, Kim Kardashian -nose, etc, etc.etc. When you take a closer look at my picture showing right ear lobe you will also see how different it attaches not to the ear. I still hope it will go down, because it does look ugly now, and I cover it with the hair. I am patient, but all this takes a lot longer than I expected. A lot longer.

Hi Richard. Thank you for your comment. My right eye is still not OK. I am now 6 weeks post op. Nose still wide at the tip. Not worth $15,000.00 that is for sure. At this point I do not want any revisions, I am disappointed. My nose is not any smaller!!!
