WORTH IT$6,000
My nose was crooked because my old implant was wrapped around tightly with scar tissue. The tip was protruding. The whole situation made my nose looked very short and the nostrils can be seen from the front view, like a pig nose.
I came to Dr. Lee and he fixed it. Dr. Lee removed the silicone implant and reconstructed my nose using cartilage from my ears. The operation took about 2-3 hours and I was on total total anesthesia. The recovery time took 12 days (I stayed home for 12 days before returning to work). At first my face was a bit swollen and I was afraid that it would not turn out good. But after 2 weeks the real shape showed and I am now totally happy with the outcome. I can't thank Dr. Lee enough for his skills. This is the perfect nose for me and I hope this is the one I will grow old with.

One Year has passed!
It has been about a year since I had my revision. Here is what my nose looks like right now. I am still very happy about it.

Beautiful results! Thank you for sharing on RealSelf. How long was it after surgery that you went out in public?
