Bump on nose seems to have reduced and is almost not visible with make up on.

You look great! the profile and 3/4 view looks so good. Was this mostly Dr G's work or was it altered in your recent revision with Dr Yune? I'm curious about the enzyme therapy. Is this something provided through your regular doctor, a nutrionist, or your plastic surgeon? Do you recommend massaging the bridge where a visible bump may be after rhinoplasty? I'm 8 wks PO revision with Dr G. You look amazing again :)

Dr. Yune concentrated mostly on the lower half of my nose. He worked to correct the rotation. My skin is pretty thick and tight, so he really accomplished a good job in making my nose look natural and not pulled tight in any areas. I have been taking the enzymes and have noticed some changes. I had facial lipo and was swollen for what seemed awhile, but as soon as I started with the enzymes that swelling has reduced a ton. Also, I feel as if my nose bump is flattening. I am updating my review with new pics from today. I have tried everything to reduce the bump, but the enzyme treatment is not doctor prescribed.

Please add pics I'm dying to see your lipo results. :)

The facial lipo recovery has been far more intense than even the nose. I had swelling under my chin and throat area until literally last weekend! I still feel a pocket of hard swollen tissue under the left side of my chin/throat area. Dr. Yune told me that he didn't want to remove too much fat because if I lost weight I might end up looking drawn. I wanted the lipo to really define my jaw line and I see improvement every day. It might take awhile for the true results to appear. Right now I feel my face hasn't changed that much!

Hi nicandshe... can you please pm me the name of the enzyme therapy? I just had my 4th revision 8 weeks ago and would like to try them! Thanks so much!

Feels like the atrophy is stating to subside. I have been working hard to help it go away. My face is still swollen, plus I think I've gained some weight- gotta get to work. But, I can see it taking shape!

First of all, thank you for the comment. I am feeling concern right now for your situation, I totally understand the depression. Your distrust of going back to the same doctor that didn’t do right by you initially, makes complete sense.
I have a question- were you unsatisfied from the beginning and it has become progressively worse as your swelling subsided? Did he over rotate the tip? My nose changed over time and the nostrils became so much more noticeable to me, then the uneven thing happened and I just felt it kind of hardened my look. Not saying it was the doctor’s fault, my body might have just healed in an unexpected way and changed my result. The reason, I’m saying this is because I’m trying to determine if the doctor failed or if something else happened? To me, that would make the difference in deciding to go back.
I checked your doctor’s website, he seems competent and capable, but I also have a certain feeling about LA doctors. When I lived in LA, I thought this has to be where the “best” doctors practice, after all they are always on television and this has to be the place of the highest volume of patients seeking procedures. But, I wonder if sometime it doesn’t make them more distant from their individual patients- because they know there will be others, after one leaves?
The price tag of $20k seems about 50% higher than it is in other cities. For that price tag, you could buy a plane ticket and 10 days at a hotel and still end up spending about half of the LA premium.
Either way you decide to go, don’t limit yourself and be certain this doctor understands what you need him to accomplish, if not there is no price tag on the anguish and depression that you might be feeling now or that comes from a poor result. Some people spend $2k p/month on going out or buying material items or new cars every 3 years…this is your body, so I feel the money spent is justified from that stand point.

Hi there!
Thanks fir your incredible story if revision rhinoplasties. You look amazing! Your entire face is in harmony and you nose natches it perfectly! Congratulations!
Unfortunately I am in the same boat as you were. Need revision real bad. The surgeon who did the previos revision offered to re do it. Not sure if I can get myself to trust that this time he will do a better job. Honestly it legt me very depressed and more then ever conscious about how uneven and bad my nose looks. Which ever view front, side, oblique it looks disgusting. Theres a big financial factor of $20,000 for a new surgeon that I do not have so I am tempted to go with him. It appears that my left nostril and side of the bridge seem to be "collapsing" and the autologus cartilage he used for the tip is becoming more pronounced and sharp edgy looking. I wish you all the best be happy your gorgeaous. Im hoping and praying to have a good outcome next time around.
