Fantastic Revision Rhinoplasty

While I do think Dr. Yoo did an amazing job on my nose and I was mostly incredibly happy, he didn't quite bring my right nostril down very much (I had moderate alar retraction). I gave it the year of healing time and it was still way higher than my left nostril. I had a Skype follow up with him and asked what could be done. He said a composite graft from my ear would only give me about 1mm and would be bulky; basically wouldn't be worth it. I took his advice to leave it alone but the more photos I saw of alar retraction being fixed, the more fixated I became on fixing this. I consulted with Dr. Miguel Mascaro in Delray Beach, FL as he did an amazing job on my lip lift in 2018. He very confidently said he could get 2-3mm out of a composite graft. We originally planned to suture it to the outside of the nose (similar to a MOHS procedure), but when he saw me in person he knew he could go inside. NO SCAR! :) I didn't expect anything even near this result, so I was crying happy tears on the surgery table when he showed me my nose in the mirror. I finally absolutely LOVE my nose and don't even see that small difference; it's just a normal nose now!
Dr. Mascaro mentioned that the graft Dr. Yoo used inside my nose during my revision rhino was too thin to make any real difference. I'm updating this review NOT to deter anyone from going to Dr. Yoo but rather to have a resource and doctor if you do have significant alar retraction. I paid $1,900 for the surgery under local anesthesia and it took about 60 minutes. Most people would be about 30 minutes but my ears already have scar tissue due to otoplasties.
I added a series of photos: before, what I wanted (photoshopped by me), results right off the table, and results 2 days later.
Pain: 1/10 (slight pain in the ear for one day)
Sutures come out at 7 days from the nose and ear
