- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

28 months post op
It’s been a long time since my last update. In fact, I even deleted my blog/review because there were a few people who decided to send me negative remarks about my rhinoplasty, and someone even used my photos without my consent to post on their own social media platforms, claiming my nose was botched! However, I had my review republished because I’ve recently had a lot of people message me on Facebook and Instagram asking about my rhinoplasty, so I thought it would help them to see my blog.
The healing process was hard for the first year, because my nose changed a lot. Sometimes I was happy with it, other times I was not, but I spoke to Taskin about it and he reassured me that because of my thick skin, it would take up to 2 years to settle. Since it has been 2 years and 4 months since my surgery, I thought I would post a final update, along with some pictures showing how my nose changed over the first year. I think I’m about 90% happy with my results. I would still have preferred a smaller tip, I think. In fact, I loved my immediate results, but my nose didn’t stay as small as it looked when I first removed the tape, but it still suits my face and looks much nicer than my nose before surgery. I still have a bit of a scar from where the rib cartilage was taken, but it doesn’t bother me.

10 WEEKS POST OP
I can’t believe my surgery was 10 weeks ago! It doesn’t feel that long ago. I think healing is going well. I can no longer feel any rib pain unless I press the area firmly. My nose is healing nicely and I have no breathing problems. I’m happy with my results. Some days I feel like the swelling is a nightmare because it’s a little uneven in some places (which I know is completely normal) but most of the time I remember to be patient with it. My bridge seems to have settled a lot, but my tip has most of the swelling and still feels hard. I think it may always be this way as there is supporting cartilage on the underside of my nostrils. The tip will take the longest to heal. I still have some internal stitches inside my nose and one under the tip near my right nostril. It’s not noticeable at all so it’s not a big deal to me. My family and friends have all seen my new nose now and they love it. They forget I’ve had rhinoplasty a lot of the time because it looks natural and suits my face well. Overall, so far so good!
4 weeks post op!
I’m 4 weeks post op so I thought I’d upload some comparison pictures. Took some photos at work yesterday using a huge ring light. Healing is going well so far. Rib area is still a little sore but totally bearable.
