African American Female Revision Rhinoplasty With Rib Graft

UPDATED FROM Kadie922

7 months post op

WORTH IT
It's been 7 months since I had the revision. No breathing problems, no complications and I still like the way it looks. I am planning to get an additional surgery soon (nasal sill excisions) so that I could have narrow nostrils! I also got 360 liposuction so I'm going to post a separate review for that soon...

Hiya hun your results look amazing! Is there any chance you can upload a before and after of your side profile? It helps to see how much length and derotation you were able to achieve Xx
Hi. Thank you so much. I am just seeing this message (I think I am following you on Instagram). I'll update with pictures soon.
Wow. You look amazing! Who was your doctor?

A before pic and some post-op pics

Someone pm-ed me to ask if I can post a before picture from my previous rhinoplasty. Here is one that shows how upturned it was from the side view. Also, here are more post op pics (it was still swollen)...

Love how cute it looks!! How long has it been again?!
Thank you JStone :) It's been like 6 months, the tip still hard & swollen.
The tip is still hard & swollen, but I read that it can take up to 1 year to fully resolve.*
Thanks for sharing! Good luck.
Thanks Shamusgirl!!!
You have a gorgeous nose, even with the swelling! Congrats
Thanks sooo much Ransrvr!!!
You are sooo welcome. My gosh, look at your eyes and eyebrows. Dang, I'm jealous. Lol
Lol thanks I wish I could my eyebrows to look decent, but its hard!
I would love to have my brows microbladed. I'm just nervous about doing it. Some people come looking like Eddie Herman!!
Yes, there are so many mixed reviews about it. If it's done right, it can save a lot of time...but if anything goes wrong, it seems to be semi-permanent. One thing I do want to try is microneedling with PRP for acne/ice pick scars. I was looking through your reviews and I see that u had it done 6 months ago!
Microneedling helped dramatically with my large pores and sun spots!
That's what I'd love to do... save time filling in my brows every morning. And, it just looks "filled in"!
Lmaoooo. Go for it!!! I got mine microbladed and I’m soooo inlove. Makeup looks so much cleaner. It’s a win win. Thanks for uploading pics and sharing your rhinoplasty experience
I had a rhinoplasty too and it took a year or so to completely heal.
I'm going to check out your review now.
Thx Kadie! We are RS Insiders here to support one another. Let me just tell you that you are gorgeous before and after your rhinoplasty. Omg. Wowsa
Ransrvr, thank you soooo much <3 I really appreciate your compliment and support!!!!!
You're so welcome my friend! Did you check out my reviews?
Just made coffee for the evening and I'm looking through them now! lol :D
Thx my RealSelf Insider Friend. Hugs

Thanks for the pictures! What a huge difference between the 2!

Thank you, Torey!!! Yes, I am so happy that Dr. Chaudhry was able to lengthen it and make it look less upturned.
ORIGINAL POST

African American Female Revision Rhinoplasty

I had the best experience w/ Dr. Chaudhry, so I wanted to post my review & share pictures. My primary rhinoplasty w/ another doctor was in 2017 but I didn’t like the results (my nose was upturned and the nostrils were still wide). I wanted to get a revision as soon as possible!!! I had a consultation w/ Dr. Chaudhry and immediately felt at ease. He understood my concerns and told me what he could & could not accomplish. He was super helpful from day 1 and answered all my questions via email. A few weeks before the surgery, we spoke on the phone to go over the goals. On the day of the surgery, we spoke again about the surgical plan. All of which made me feel extremely comfortable & confident in getting a revision w/ him.
Surgical procedures: Dorsal augmentation w/ rib graft, nasal lengthening and alarplasty
After the surgery was complete, I did not feel much pain and the level of discomfort was minimal. There was some swelling during the first few days, but that’s expected w/ any surgery. During recovery, I made sure to keep the bandages clean and sleep w/ my head elevated. The cast stayed on for 5 days.
Day of cast removal: I loved the results and I could honestly say that my nose immediately looked much better!!! Even w/ the swelling, it looked much better than my previous nose. The alarplasty stitches were removed a few days later. Alarplasty does leave scars -- but mine are not too noticeable. I’ve included a few pictures and I’ll post more in the future.
I didn’t have any complications or problems with breathing. I’ve had to see other doctors (for unrelated reasons) and they even complimented me on the results – they wanted to know who did the surgery. He did a great job. My mom (who was against me getting a revision) even liked the results.
If you dislike your nose, I’d definitely recommend doing research about rhinoplasty and consulting w/ Dr. Chaudhry! He is knowledgeable, friendly, and has great bedside manners. He was always available to answer any questions before and after surgery. Most importantly, he delivers amazing results!!! He is really the best and I’d definitely recommend him.
