Revision Rhinoplasty for Still Wide and Bulbous Tip - Beverly Hills, CA

Sooo hello everyone!
I am european, I have always been troubled by a very bulbous tip and quite thick skin.
I have had two previous rhinoplasty to adress it (the first one was closed and extremely conservative), which did not let me totally satisfied - allthough I have not been botched at all, my tip is still wide, bublous and undefined.

I have spent quite some time researching docs to perform a revision on me. My goal is to get a really more refined (yet naturel of course) tip from the front view. i like my profile the way it is.

I hesitated a lot between dr Gruber, dr.Davis and Dr Frankel. I finally choose doctor Frankel for I really love his gallery and I got the chance to speek one happy patients of his. I really trust his ability to adress convexity of tip cartilage and to handle tissues that have already been operated on.
I have not had the pleasure to meet him person yet since I leave far away. I am meeting him on monday and my procedure is on tuesday!
I feel quite nervous but not as much as I expected to be, maybe it is because I am confident as can be with my choice.

Well we won't know about how things turned until the operation is over and the swelling has gone down.
i will gladly share my experience with you guys, going for a cosmectic procedure and choosing a surgeon is such an hard process, especially with rhinoplasty, that I will be glad if my I can be of some help

Hi everyone,
So I met doctor Frankel and his Fellow on monday.
It was quick but felt like a really thorough examination. They looked at my nose from every angle and touched it from inside to feel If I had steel enough tip and septal cartilage, good news was : yes, despite my two previous rhinoplasties I still had a "bunch" of it... looks like my two previous docs were very conservative on me.
I really liked that they discussed the technical details in front of me, they had the operative report from my previous surgery and they planted hypothesis on why all the techniques used by my previous surgeon did not succeed in making my tip less bulbous looking.I felt that doctor Frankel was really taking interest in my case.
He then took pictures of me and morphed them to a potential results. i liked what I saw and that he asked a lot about my opinion especially on profile since I did not want it altered too much.

doctor Frankel has a nice and warm demeanor with some reserve also, I liked that. I was not neither overly enthusiastic neither cold. apart of that, the office is quite beautiful and the staff is really nice.

the revision was performed on me yesterday!! I feel okay, no pain, just pressure on the nose, and a bit of blood and mucus drip (it seems to be better since i woke up). No trouble sleeping actually I surrounded myself with pillows not to roll over and sleep on my side..
right after I woke up from the surgery I was wondering so badly how it went, the nurse said that Doctor Frankel was very happy with the procedure. Yesterday afternoon I got a call from doctor Frankel who said that things went out beautifully, just as planned and that he was really happy with this procedure. He seemed to be really pleased.
I was SO happy when I heard that!!!
For the moment I have a cast on and tapes on my tip but I can already see it looks smaller than my old one. For the rest I don't know, I don't want to jinkx myself, and having gone through this already I know that there is no way you can see what your nose will look like 1/ cast off and 2/ after swelling has fully gone down.

well that's about it for the moment, I will update pics when the cast comes off. I am sorry i don't post more pictures of myself, I really don't like taking pictures plus I am kind of a private person. but I know this helps so I will try to take them with different angles and to report as the swelling goes down.
