I went to see Mr. Lucian yesterday because I am not happy about my rhinoplasty results. I have a small dent on the left side and the right side is caved in. He examined my nose internally and took photos. He thinks my rhinoplasty was done by a good surgeon and my nose is healing very well so I have no major problems. He did a simulation and showed me how the bridge would become smooth. I was happy about it but he said he might need a graft to support the right side specially if too much of the septum was removed in the previous operation. He also mentioned that 100% result is not possible specially that there are already asymmetry in both side of the face. I complained in my previous review about my nose trills in which one is higher than the other so they are not on the same level. He told me that is not a result of rhinoplasty. It is assymetry that originally present but was not notable before shortening or having surgery on the nose. He generally thinks my surgeon did a good job and he can help me to smooth the bridge. I feel relieved that my operation did not result in damages or disfigurement though I am not happy about the shape of my nose at all. I am planning to do a revision next summer.

Well that's good to hear. I recall you mentioning that you felt the tip was still too big. Is he going to reduce the size of it or is there still sweeping present? I'm having my revision done towards the end of the year and am counting down the days...

Hi Amal, are you booked in for surgery with Dr Ion in June 2017??? Wow welldone for making the move. I guess there will be a lot of revision ethnic rhinoplasty from julian de silva that dr ion will have to deal with! I might be joining you there. But I will go in for a consult in February. Im not sure I agree with dr ion that the asymmetry was already there though? If it was there, you would have noticed it?... Also I thought the dent in your nose is too obvious, and that anything dr ion can do will be an improvement, so you dont have to worry! Can you ask dr ion again please: Q) If dr julian de silva 'did a good job' why is my nose shape not natural looking? I dont get the logic! Thanks and goodluck!

Thanks nehaob, I went for a consultation but did not pay the deposit for the surgery. I am thinking of doing that next month. I think will have a skype consultation with him before the time because will be coming from outside the UK. Dr. Ion does not think there will be any more improvement but I was hoping that I will get more refinement but I am disappointed that it is 7 months now. May be he thinks dr.julian did a good job as he did not cause severe damage to the nose from inside and overall shape​ is not too bad... not botched

I am SO glad I didn't go with Julian Da Silva after reading all of your comments. Got a weird vibe from him during the consult too

some people think that my nose is fine and I don't need a revision but I can't convince myself of this. I don't like it
October 16, 2016
Yep I know how you feel! Follow your heart :-)

Will your revision be an open rhinoplasty? Think carefully about your surgeon because on Dr Lucian's website, there are a few before and after's which also show a 'dent' and not completely smooth.

who do you suggest in your opinion?

http://www.lucianion.co.uk/before-and-after-photos.php There are a couple I noticed there (e.g. The south Asian man), I don't know how to link exact photos. I also don't know how long post op they are i.e. If the swelling and bumpiness subsided and if they were open or closed rhinoplasty. Did Dr De Silva advise closed rhinoplasty for you or was that your own preference?

Thanks. I asked in the first consultation if it is gonna be closed or open and he said he can do closed so I was pleased and I told him another surgeon also told me it can be closed but I never insist on that or resist to have an open rhinoplasty
December 28, 2016
I see, I always thought open was preferred. Hope you reach your desired end result.

I done my surgery on 30th June. Everything was perfect. So tired to tell details now or post photos!my face is swollen and this include my eyelids although I have minimum bruising and skin discoloration. I can't wait till Friday I am trying to be optimistic but I was thinking that If I don't like the results will be my last revision because I don't want to go through all this again.

Thank you. Still have the cast on so I can't see anything yet except the nostrils which I see that they become more circular and this is not their original shape. They also not identical yet but I m not concerned at the moment
