Revision rhinoplasty NYC -please see my updates

I am so sorry to hear your on going battle. I too went thru a very bad primary rhinoplasty with an inexperienced surgeon and suffered for 9 months. I am glad I didn't go back to the same doctor as if he did such a bad job the first time, I cannot trust him with my nose again...( it was many months of struggles to not to go back to him). Many people advise me to go back to the original surgeon as he is the only one who knew what he did but God was merciful and block that mistake. I went to another surgeon who was recommended by another ps I consulted with. I am so much happier with my new nose! I hope you can find another surgeon as this one will never be able to achieve what you want. He has proven that too many times! It's time to move on to a new doctor to give you the nose you should of gotten. Please do your homework... Go to as many consultation as possible. Learn from this ordeal and focus on the things you want to correct. But no nose can be perfect but you do deserve a straight dorsum that looks natural. You can even think of going to Korea, they do this day in and day out! Good luck and God bless!

Hi Jessica , I think I'll be going back to OR in another month or 2 .... May I ask once you removed your rib implant and tip... Did your nose looked the same? Did your surgeon shave your bone or anything with your primary rhino? I am nervous as I don't want to look worse than now! Thx and happy new year!

Well, he said he can't promise but will monitor as we go. I am doing evreything possible to heal and be ready. However he did say, its very aggressive to operatevat 3 months. I seriously don't know how to deal with waiting 4.5 more months! I think my rib cartilage is crooked toward left... 3 other doctor agreed but my surgeon said it's not! I see it in my photos so I don't know why he is in denial. I didn't want to argue with him since I want it remove it at the end of the day.
If I may ask... Is your doctor in NYC?
How is your nose now? How long has it been since you remove it? Your nose back to flexible?

Hi Jessica, if you don't mind.... Love to hear more on your experience. I am 1.5 months and I am aiming to get rib off by month 3. My email address is mlmee****@gmail.com
Did your nose go back to the same as before and why did you want to take the rib off and why 6 months?

Thx!

I don't think so at all. It's a hard question to answer since I don't really know if it's what you want?
I know for me, everyone tells me the nose looks fine, but to me it does not fit my face and to me looks huge and bridge so unnatural.
At the end of the day, what I learned is, you have to know what u want....
For me, as soon as I can get all the rib graft out of my bridge and tip... I pray for my old face to come back. I miss my old friend. She may not be the prettiest or have a perfect nose... But to me that is perfect with what god has given me!
