Hi, I wanted to make this review so that no one ever happens to be in the position I am in. I ended up getting rhinoplasty by Dr John Keohane years ago when I was 17 years old, I am not 23 years old and have definitely experienced the aftermath of rhinoplasty. I noticed start out of operation that I had still a droopy tip, but now asymmetrical nostrils. After a few years passed on it feels like my nose has significantly gotten worse, I now have these weird bumps that have no shown up and this weird slash in the side of my nose which I'm assuming is due to me aging that it's now showing up. I just feel at lost for words, and I can't believe this is what I've been dealing with for a long time. I find it disgusting that he still has his license. He quite literally ruined my life. I can barely breathe, which is the entire reason why I got the surgery.
I’ve been considering this procedure for as long as I can remember really noticing my nose, and I’ve finally decided to go through with it. I’ve booked my appointment for December 17th with Dr. Keohane- will be adding photos and updates soon Updated on 9 Dec 2019: My surgery is tomorrow at 11am (I bumped it up due to finals), and I’m really nervous. The other day I tried to switch my procedure to just a septoplasty, not because I don’t want a new nose, but just out of sheer worry for the outcome. When I showed up at the office, they told me that it wouldn’t be as simple as just changing it, especially so close to the day of- which I sort of expected. So I talked with Dr Keohane, and he ran me through the procedure again and reassured me. I made the decision to continue with the procedure, but he had me think it over and confirm with the office manager the next morning anyway. For now I’m trying to distract myself, but I’m also sort of glad that it’s coming up so soon, so that I can just get the worrying over with Updated on 9 Dec 2019: I guess I could have added this to my last review, but here are the “before” photos of my nose as my surgery is in just over 12 hours. My main problem was the projection of my nose- it’s a bit “taller” than I’d like with a slight bump, and not feminine enough for my liking. Dr Keohane also mentioned that the tip could be more refined, which I agreed with. I also have a deviated septum which will be fixed, and which will assist the structure of my nose. Updated on 12 Dec 2019: Healing is going okay so far. Yesterday I took the packing out of my nostrils (similar to small tampons), and I felt so much better. I still have a fair amount of stuffiness, and swelling is more pronounced underneath my eyes today, but I’ve been slacking a little bit on applying ice to my face- it’s difficult for me to ice more than 30 seconds at a time, as I’m quite sensitive to cold. However I’m trying to work my way up to 15 minutes of ice every hour in smaller increments. The pain hasn’t been terrible (prescribed pain medication is definitely enough), so it’s mostly just moderate discomfort. Today I’m feeling well enough to do some studying for final exams, despite the medication, which is definitely a plus. Updated on 18 Dec 2019: Hi everyone, I’m so sorry for the delay! I’ve been sort of pondering what to do here, as my surgeon actually requested that I don’t post any photos online of my nose afterwards. The nurse explained that he doesn’t find it “professional”, but honestly I’m so ecstatic about my results, it’s hard not to post here. I’m going to post a progression of my immediate post up photos for now, just so everyone can see how I looked throughout the healing process, while I consider what to do about posting the final results. (But, again, I am completely pleased so far with how everything turned out and I’m so glad that I went through with the procedure.)
I lost 130 pounds which left me with some gobble gobble, well I saved and my wonderful boyfriend is going to help me get it removed. My date is set fro April 28th, I have been waiting 1 and half months. I am soooo excited, I know it will be a tough recovery but I am so ready for this. I know my confidence will be much better, I had my neck behind my long hair, but it does bother me, when I turn to one side I have fat and skin that follows me. I am getting lipo and a technique where they pull the skin but only from the incision under the chin. Fingers crossed all will go well. Updated on 6 May 2015: Updated on 6 May 2015: I am happy with the results however I thought it would be a little more defined, but I was told that takes some time. I did have a lot of loose skin and the Dr said in order to get that defined look I would need a neck and jowl lift . This time I got lipo and also skin pulling, the removed excess skin..
