WORTH IT
Im 32 years old male who had 2 previous Rhinoplasties one done in 1999 and the other 2001. My first Rhino was horrible all I needed was hump and tip reduction the surgeon ruined my nose he made it very saddle wide piggy nose. I Had to wait year and half so I can fix it. My second rhinoplasty was little better but still it was crooked, concave short feminine nose. I want it more masculine straight, higher, longer and make the tip more downward. So in 2014 I had online consultation with Dr Motykie and at the time I gained a lot of weight and I always hated my chubby cheeks and double chin and I asked for neck lift and buccal fat removal. After seeing my photos he suggested to add chin implant to balance my profile. So we finalized that ill do the 4 procedures. I did my surgery on January 14 2015, and the results were amazing.

When I met him in real for my consultation the day before surgery, he was very confident and we discussed what do I need in each procedure and he told me what would look best on me. He rushed a little bit during the consultation and I felt nervous but he was very confident and told me before surgery we will have another meeting to make sure everything is on track. During the day of the surgery we discussed everything in details. The 4 procedures took around 2 and half hours to 3 hours, I was worried after I woke up because it was very short time and I was afraid from the results. Here is my review for each procedure.

Buccal fat, First I was very impressed of how my cheeks are more sculpted from second day which there were lots of bruising. After one month now my cheeks looks amazing very sculpted nice cheeks made huge difference. The recovery was easy, third day after surgery I was brushing my teeth but regarding eating it took me like 4 days to eat normally, first few days I couldn’t open my mouth normally because I had buccal fat, chin implant and neck lift so it was hard to chew the food.

The necklift looks very nice contoured jaw line and no fat under my chin almost 95% of the fat is gone but its still some lumps but they told me it will be better by time. So Im waiting to see final results in few months but from now it looks 95% perfect.

My chin implant was very swollen the first week and I wasn’t very comfortable because of the stiffness I had crooked smile and I couldn’t pronounce the letter S I couldn’t talk properly. I had crooked lips and smile this stayed for like 3 weeks, week 4 for its like 95% natural. I talk normally now and swelling is much better then before but I will see final results in few months but from now it looks very natural and it fits my face very well, it made a difference in both frontal and profile view.

My nose, the results are very good. High straight nose like I requested, I also wanted my radix to be little higher than before he made it for me, the nose is little longer and tip is little down but not the degree that I wanted but still its too early to judge because Im just one month post opt. and there is little supratip depression on my right side but its still lots of swelling so I will see in few months if its swelling or not. But the results overall is amazing.

Overall Dr Motykie and his staff are very professional and friendly Specially Jade and Menal both are amazing and always reply to my emails or calls after my surgery to ask any additional questions regarding post opt care. And the results are very good regarding the procedures I had I will defiantly recommend him hes’s worth it.

What did he use for your nose grafts ? Did he use a synthetic implant ?

Hi Leelee2012 My first revision my doctor used my septum cartilage and cartilage from my right ear, Dr Motykie used both grafts and he also took cartilage from my left ear.
