I will be having a revision
$1
Hi everyone, long time no see.
I am 5 years post op.
My new nose is definitely an improvement from what I had before.
However the grafts have shifted, my septum is crooked and my bridge is too high in my opinion. I also have a V deformity on one side. I'm currently looking for revison doctors.
I want to go back to Dr Boahene because I think that he is a skilled surgeon and I hope that he can help fix my nose.
Do you guys know if generally surgeons charge to revise their own patients? I'm afraid to ask Dr Boahene because I don't want to seem like too demanding. I regret not asking him during my primary.
I will be uploading picture later on. Please don't DM me asking for pictures, I don't feel comfortable sharing them for now. Thank you

thank you. the bridge bothers me because when I touch it I feel the deviated graft. i think the revision to correct that is fairly simple so I hope it goes well

Will probably be a getting a revision
Hi,
Just a quick update to say that I will probably be getting a revision at my 1 year post op to straighten my bridge because the graft shifted. I sent an email to Dr B, waiting for a reply to see what my options are. I'm hoping to have the revision surgery in April with Dr B.

Wish you all the best! Does he charge for the revision?

Thank you, I'm not sure but I hope not. I know I'd have to pay for the OR and anesthesiologist at least. How is your recovery going?

My recovery is going well. Sometimes I wish I had asked for a more drastic change to my nose but I didn't want anyone to be even suspicious that I've had a nose job. The results are pretty conservative. Sometimes I love it and other times a lot less.
what did you decide to do in the end? stick with Dr B or look elsewhere? In my opinion, and this is just my opinion, money shouldn't be a factor in your decision you should go for the person who you trust to do the BEST job. If that's Dr B then fantastic, if not, then so be it
