What a disaster

$10,520
Ever since the nose healed I always felt there was something not quite right about it. The surgeon was absolutely useless in helping out. Impossible to get hold of, would tell me yes yes we’ll fix it to my face then do nothing. The tip started drooping so badly and I now have a DEVIATED SEPTUM which I didn’t have before!!!!! So so so upset. Anyway, about two weeks ago I had a revision in Thailand from an amazing surgeon, and he uncovered some horrifying stuff underneath from my surgeon in New Zealand. I don’t know if I should start a separate review or continue to post on this one. Maybe I’ll do both.

It doesn't 'seem' to be drooping from the photos. I think it looks great. Sorry to hear that your septum has become deviated!
Hi - could you let me know what surgeon you used in New Zealand? Want to know who to avoid!

Ditto above for who to avoid. Also your Thai surgeon sounds great! Who were they?

Do you think you’ll have a small touch up to help with the droopy tip? I think your gorgeous. Take care.
Who was your surgeon?

Definitely better than before I had it done, still not 100% on it. Had steroid injection to help with swelling which it really did!

Do you ever consider getting a touch up on your tip? I think most surgeons say between 9 and 12 months is good enough time for revision. I think overall your nose looks nice.
Yup I’ll get a touch up jan (so one year post surgery)
Your nose looks great! Do you believe steroid injection was very helpful 8 months post op? I see you mentioned it helping, but was it minimal? What areas did you see the greatest effects (tip, bridge, nostrils)? Will you need a another injection in 6-8 weeks?
Thanks, yup the steroid injection did help in terms of wideness of the nose from the front view =D
And nope no more injections, I asked but if he said I want more difference I need to have revision.!
