Here are my operating table pictures with Dr. Umit Taskin

Jackie, I was absolutely heartbroken for you when I read this. I had no idea you were suffering so much after your surgery. Clearly the nose did not heal well after my surgery and the revision was warranted. I suspect that when you were hit in the nose accidentally by the cab driver a few days after surgery, that it must have caused distortion during the healing process. I am so sorry that you had this result and that you suffered so long before you could get a revision.
As requested, I added some pictures of my revision (secondary) rhinoplasty with Dr. Umit Taskin
An amazing ending to a botched rhinoplasty nightmare
My name is Jackie. I was teased all throughout school for my "long nose". When I became 19, I decided to go to America, all the way from Jordan, to get it done. After a thorough research, I decided to go for surgery with Dr. Matthew Bridges in Midlothian, Virginia. I believed I was in safe hands since the before and after results he had were not overdone and very natural. The reviews were good.Right off the bat, when he removed the cast I noticed my nose was deviated and big. It wasn't deviated before. It was also significantly bigger than my original nose. He explained that the deviation was not because my septum itself is deviated, it's because it's more swollen on one side where he "worked more". And also that "it looked significantly bigger because of the swelling".I am a very patient person so I waited one year as I was told without complaining. After one year of noticing no change, I emailed my doctor telling him that my nose is still very deviated to the right. I couldn't even insert anything in my right nostril because the septum deviation stopped me at the entrance. Like there was no space inside because my septum blocked the way. While on the left nostril it felt like it was 90% bigger on the inside. Also, I was not pleased with the appearance as it still looked significantly bigger than my original nose. Here he explained how he could do a revision for the same fee, to which I of-course, declined. My confidence went from low to lower, I edited all my pictures and I only took pictures at a very specific angle. I sat with people at a certain angle, I was very self conscious as to what angle (even strangers) were seeing me from. I contoured my nose to where it was all black but in reality you could never mask a deviation. I tried clipping something to it to make it straight during the night. I would always cover my nose when I smiled or laughed. It was a complete disaster.6 years later living with the nightmare and after gathering the courage and trust and money to have a second rhinoplasty, I decided to have a revision Rhinoplasty with Dr. Umit Taskin in Istanbul, Turkey. It has been a year and a half since. Dr. Umit Taskin changed my life. He restored my breathing and gave me a beautiful and natural nose. He said it was a hectic 3 hours trying to restore what the first doctor did, but it was successful, and indeed I was in love from the second he removed my cast. I paid 50% less for the revision rhinoplasty than I did for my primary in America. Dr. Taskin even charges way less for a primary rhinoplasty which I wish I had with him. I waited 6 years to write this review because I was too afraid to face the facts that I had a botched nose before I had fixed it first. I kept lying to myself saying it's not too bad, I can live with it. Now that I see the difference, I feel like I have to share my experience. If I am able to help one person who's going through what I went through I'd be more than grateful. I have attached a lot of photos for everyone to view.
