I had a revision rhinoplasty and I am so happy with the result. I’m only 3 weeks post op, but I feel great and I already love my nose, even though it’s still swollen. Every single time I have a question, Marie has been an email away and she never makes me feel like I am a bother and she is very knowledgeable about everything! His entire staff made me feel comfortable during every step of the process. I was hesitant about having this surgery during the pandemic, but they had strict safety protocols regarding COVID-19 guidelines and procedures and that also made me feel so safe. I can’t wait to see how my nose looks after it’s completely healed....but even if it looks like this, I would be so happy. I am so thankful that I found Dr. Langsdon to do this procedure. It’s obvious, from the very first visit, that he is a brilliant expert in rhinoplasty.
Absolutely the best experience I’ve ever had at any Doctors office, my experience was 5 stars in every aspect. I set out to find a Surgeon who could correct a few significant problems with my nose. I searched Atlanta, Dallas and Miami. During my search I found Dr Langsdon and to my surprise he was located relatively close to my home, so I set up an appointment for a consultation to see if he could fix my issues. At my initial consultation it took me less than 5 minutes to realize this was the person I wanted to perform surgery on me, immediately his confidence and knowledge was apparent. He answered my questions, was open and honest about what he could accomplish and was sincerely interested in helping me achieve the corrections I was seeking. I set my surgery date and it was performed with no issues what so ever, everything went exactly as the Doctor said it would, again, I can’t stress how impressed I was to that point. Upon removal of my cast, one week after surgery I literally had tears in my eyes when I was able to see the results of the work Dr Langsdon and his team performed. After being teased at young age over the appearance of my nose, while stuffing for years with it functioning poorly, to have the dressings removed and see a nose that had symmetry and suited my face, all while being able to breath through it with out thought was a little overwhelming. The Langsdon Clinic, Dr Langsdon and his entire staff are absolutely first class. I give every portion of my experience a 5 star rating and would absolutely recommend his service to any loved ones or friends. My experience has been extremely positive!
I have visited the Langsdon Clinic for years for minor procedures such as botox, juvederm, facials, ect. I have always been impressed with my results. This year, I decided it was time to step it up and have a neck lift. I always new I would have one, and when I did.....I knew no other Doctor would do, it had to be Dr. Langsdon. With his amazing staff and credentials I knew I was in great hands! Sure enough, he did NOT disappoint....I ended up having a neck and cheek lift and the results exceeded my expectations. There is no other facial plastic surgeon I would recommend...Dr. Langsdon and staff are the best of the best!
I had great experiences at the clinic each time. From beginning to end I felt comfortable and knew I had made the right decision. My results are amazing! I would recommend Dr. Langsdon for anyone thinking about facial surgery. I would not trust anyone else.
My experience with Dr. Langsdon and his entire staff exceeded my expectation from the day I made my consultation. Dr. Langsdon really listened to what I wanted to have done to my nose, and I could not be happier with the results. There is not another surgeon that I would trust with my face. I can't begin express how grateful I am for his help in my confidence. The subtle changes made the world of a difference. My nose looks natural- not at all like I had surgery on it.

Professional, personable, informative, considerate. I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Langsdon and his staff. I was impressed not only by pre-opt instructions and literature but also the handling of the pre-opt procedures right before the surgery. The kindness of each member of the surgery team is to be commended. They explained everything before each procedure. The help of the nurse getting ready for the surgery was excellent. Dr. Langsdon and the surgery staff's concern for anything I wanted or needed was very comforting. Thank you Dr. Langsdon and your surgery team.
Ever since I can remember, I’ve struggled with the acceptance of my nose. I tried and tried to understand that this was how I was born and there was nothing that I could do about it. The bridge of my nose is what brought my confidence down and affected the way I view myself tremendously. I finally decided that I wanted to do something about it, so after hours of research I came across Dr. Langsdon and oh how happy I am that I found him. He not only restored my confidence, but was so patient and overall skilled at what he does. He specializes in rhinoplasty, so that really caught my attention when trying to find the right surgeon. I recommend him to anyone seeking rhinoplasty, because he made the process so much easier than what I anticipated. I can’t say enough about how thankful I am to have found him.
I have visited the Langsdon Clinic for over fifteen years, and have gained a tremendous understanding of my own skin care practices, as well as skin care products, through my relationship with Phillip, Carol, and their skilled and knowledgeable staff. FaceMD, the Langsdon Clinic’s skin care program, includes a line of amazing products that are the result of 25 years worth of knowledge gained through experience. I cannot imagine a more exceptional practice than the Langsdon Clinic, and am highly satisfied with the cosmetic surgery that I have received from them since 2003, including a facelift in September of 2017.
Since I was young, (around 14) I have always disliked my nose. I had a prominent dorsal hump. Also, when I smiled, I noticed I had a droopy tip. I have never been self conscious of many things, but my nose was definitely one of them. I recently had a rhinoplasty less than two months ago and I could not have been happier with the outcome, and it isn't even at its final stages in healing. When I had the cast removed one week after the procedure, I was skeptical of the results. I was worried and a little nervous on how it was going to look. I hope this helps ensure and ease anyone's stress that they have a few weeks post-op about if they're worried about the outcome of their rhinoplasty. I am now more than 5 weeks post-op and everything is coming together very nicely and I could not be more thankful for how it turned out.
I decided to have a rhinoplasty because I have always been self-conscious about the size (especially width) of my nose, particularly when I smile. I was also unhappy with a small bump on the bridge of nose, which made my profile unattractive and my nose appear even wider from the the front. My goals for this surgery were to remove the bump and narrow the bridge, as well as define and narrow the tip and nostrils. I chose Dr. Langsdon because he specializes in plastic surgery specifically of the face, neck, and nose. He is, in fact, the only plastic surgeon in the Mid-South with this speciality, and has been frequently recognized for his work on a national level. My experience with him and his office was 100% positive. They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and address any fears I had. Dr. Langsdon even came in to the office on a snow day to see me after my dog bumped my nose a few days after surgery (fortunately no damage had been done!). I am 3 months out from surgery and very happy with my results. My results are completely natural-looking (not at all overdone like some nose jobs can turn out, thank goodness), and I think Dr. Langsdon is a very competent surgeon and artist. I am still waiting for the last little bit of swelling to reside (it takes about a full year) and may decide to have a second procedure, just to get a little more narrowing and definition. If I do make that decision, there's no other surgeon I'd trust with the operation than Dr. Langsdon.
The hump can be removed without altering the tip. You would only need to alter the tip if you felt you needed some slight additional definition. You are a great candidate for a closed approach and from what I can tell, it would not be necessary or benefit you to use the open approach. Doing it through the closed approach should mean less swelling and recovery. Having said that, it will still take about a year to see the final settling of the hump removal!

I agree with your doctor. Perfection is an unrealistic expectation and it is often impossible to gain perfect symmetry. Continuing to attempt to gain perfection is a set up for a disaster!
A facelift or mini-facelift helps reposition sagging tissue. If you don't have sagging you would not see improvement with a facelift. However, a facelift will not restore a loss of volume. Facial fillers or sometimes fat transfer may help when hollow areas develop.
A facelift may help when sagging is not relieved by rest. Permanent facial sagging may occur as early as the 30s, but more usually in one's 40s, 50s, or 60s. Everyone's genetics are different and surgery is still the best way to reset the hands of time!
I cannot see the entire anatomy because of the blocking of the upper nose. So, I cannot provide a specific suggestion. However, generally speaking....some work inside the nose might improve the airway, and a conservative "closed" rhinoplasty might make some of the changes you seek possible. However, from the limited photograph I can see your nose looks beautiful and it is likely that to the majority of the population you have a beautiful nose and facial features. Get a consultation with an experienced and honest rhinoplasty expert. He/she should give you the facts and also tell you whether or not he/she would actually recommend any external changes.
