Revision Rhinoplasty - Australia

i am so sad to read your story. i too have been greatly affected by failed rhinoplasties. i regret ever touching my nose, but primary concern was difficulty breathing. so mine wasnt purely cosmetic. six rhinoplasties later , my nose has been fixed as best it can be fixed at this late stage. it has been so soul destroying and i wouldnt recommend it to anyone. are you certain that your nose can not be fixed??? can you get another opinion? i have heard of tissue necrosis but i thought it happened after MANY rhinoplasties and i believe you have only had three? are you sure its not just your doctor fobbing you off because he doesnt want the challenge of trying to fix something he doesnt have the expertise to fix? i would get another opinion.

Don't stress , you can find someone who can give you a cartilage graft as I think that is what you need . Adding cartilage will help give your nose definition . Just do lots of research and find a good surgeon . I had 5 unsuccessful rhinoplasties . Drs taking elements of my nose away , when in reality , they should have been adding ! I think you have had the same thing happen . I hope it works out for you . I have been through the exact same thing . It's a roller coaster . But just do your research now and get a good surgeon !

i had rib and fascia graft in april. let me tell you, i am also very swollen. my nose is only now starting to come down and it is nearly 3 months post surgery. i have had 5 previous rhinoplasties, all very unsuccessful. i think you need to remind yourself that after so many revisions, you are going to be very swollen . my surgeon told me that the more ops you have, the slower is the healing process. i dont expect to see final result until atleast 1 yr post op. i had cortisone injections with my last surgeon, but my current surgeon is not a fan of them as he believes that they can lead to tissue atrophy, which is not good.
