After thinking about it for so long, I have finally decided to schedule a revision rhinoplasty and mommy makeover with Dr. Ghavami. I am a little apprehensive about the timing because I will be starting work less than 4 weeks after my surgery date, but it's the soonest date available.
I plan to update my review and add pictures.

I'm really happy and excited for you. I had rhinoplasty surgery two months ago out of the country and I hate it. I've been in contact with Dr Ghavami's office and I can't wait until next year to have him fix my nose. I watch his surgeries on his Instagram and snapchat. He's amazing!!

Hi Purrfectme, I'm excited too! Whenever I start to feel nervous or like I'm getting cold feet, I see all the great results on his Instagram and website and feel better again. :)

Wish you the best of luck! I'm 5 weeks post op from mommy makeover (TT and lipo) with Dr Ghavami and he was amazing. I was walking on my own first day and never had any pain. I hope you experience the same!

Thank you, CTfromVA! It's awesome to hear that you were up and walking on your first day without pain! Rose and I joked about how after childbirth, pain tolerance can be pretty high lol. I'm hoping that rings true for me!

Quick Update

Thank you to those who have contacted me to check on how I’m doing. I’m sorry I did not post an update sooner. I tried to list this entry in both the mommy makeover and revision rhinoplasty categories but wasn’t able to. I will attempt to separate and organize my posts for each procedure at a later time, along with adding proper side-by-side photos of my before and afters.
A little background, for the mommy makeover I wanted to regain some of the shape my body had pre-pregnancies. I had a pooch and lots of loose skin on my tummy. I also didn’t like how my thighs protruded out on the sides.
As for the revision rhinoplasty, the tip of my nose had shifted to the left over the years (5 years since my rhinoplasty), and my breathing was impaired on the right side which looked caved in, and Dr G. agreed it was off-center. He also said I have a very high profile which he described as a “masculine trait,” and I was glad he mentioned it because I really hated that my last doctor raised it so much. Dr. G’s plan was to address the asymmetry of my nose, the high-set bridge, and general refinement because it was so round and lacked definition.
Currently I am having issues with swelling, which I’m told is very common with revisions, and the incision scar is more extensive than I expected. I’m seeing Dr. G about steroid injections and dermabrasion. Scheduling follow-up appointments has been difficult, especially with the holidays, but I have an upcoming appointment in January. I will do my best to provide more updates on how my healing is coming along.
Thanks again for the support! :D

I think your nose looks good! Congrats! Did you have implants in your before your revision rhinoplasty? Did Dr. Ghavami remove some of your grafts?
February 28, 2017
Hi, thanks but I have not posted after pictures with results yet. Those are all pictures of my BEFORE. My nose did not have implants, but it had ear grafts from the previous surgery, and Dr. Ghavami used more ear cartilage for the revision.

I am looking to get a Rhino revision. Could you please send me some afters of your healing? I could give you my personal email or are you posting soon? Are you happy? I have grafts that I would like removed or replaced. Would love any feedback. I really appreciate it :) also what was the price??

Is it too forward to ask how much he charged for your revision? It sounds like we will have about the same procedure.

Not sure how much swelling is left, but I'm getting closer to the one year mark.

The nose looks great what did he do? Sorry about the scar!

Thank you.
The goals Dr. G and I discussed were improving the breathing and symmetry, narrowing the round and undefined tip, and lowering the bridge for a more feminine angle.
