Minor Slimming & Tip Elevation - Experience Has Not Gone Well

Find a specialist that ONLY does noses. Nothing else. If you haven't used any rib or ear cartilage yet the doctors can work wonders. I know, it happened to me and I never thought I would look normal again. Now, after a proper revision, it's going to be ok.

Does it scarring make the nose not go down? Interesting! Crazy how you see changes isn't it? What I don't like is when things are coming down and then you wake up one morning and you are swollen up like a month prior. Good luck with the injections? what revision number is this? I can't wait for mine but I'm going to need ear cartilage. Not as scary to me than using rib. Just so many decisions and how to know just which Dr is right.

Did Dr Toledo do any of your revisions? He ruined my face and I am going out of state for a revision. Very costly and detrimental to my mental status!!

Awesome! I am so jealous, I am still at least 6-7 months before I can do a revision. Did the Dr have to use a k-wire in the cartilage? Remember, the bridge swelling takes a good 6-7 weeks before it looks like it will. I would take a larger bridge over my piggy nose anyday!!! I see so many beautiful girls and now all I do is look at their noses, my one friend in particular has an awesome nose and hers goes straight down without the indentation between the bridge and tip.

Have you had your revision yet? I have to tell you that I am in the exact same position. I had a rhinoplasty done in early July. I cannot believe how extremely bad the result is. I had a small nose to begin with and now since the Dr. turned and overrotated the tip I have a nonexistent nose. Despite the fact that he also scalped down my bridge. The primary seems to think he did a great job, I look like I've had really bad surgery and no one says that it looks better and just give it time. Well, at 2 1/2 months out, there has been a lot of time. I have already seen a revision specialist and the surgery is going to require rib grafting. Despite being very expensive, will it ever look normal again after they add the cartiladge?
