Very happy with results

WORTH IT
It has now been nearly two years since my second revision with doctor Frankel. I am so happy with the results that I barely think about my nose anymore and do not really go on this site. But I did want to come back and share how grateful I am for Dr. Frankel’s help. He did what I thought was impossible after my prior rhinoplasty disappointments - gave me a natural looking and beautiful nose. He took on a really challenging case with what I was left with after my prior surgeries and I am so thankful for him following through with these incredible results. No more hiding my nose with make up or worrying that someone can notice the asymmetries. Now I barely think about my nose and just feel confident that it compliments the rest of my face and looks natural - such freedom. I will post pictures soon!

Update
Grateful12November 12, 2016
I am a little disappointed about how my nose is healing. From what I understand this asymmetry is easy to fix with a one hour surgery under local anaesthesia but still a little disappointing that I have to go through another surgery and that my nose isn't quite there yet. Still a big improvement though! I'll keep you guys updated as my journey continues...

Thanks for the update. Surgery is hard not only physically and emotionally. It's frustrating to not be done with the whole ordeal! You have a a great improvement and I'm sure you will look great and be happy in end.

Thank you Dahlia! Yes, I'm happy that I'm ALMOST there and it is a big improvement :)

Thank you for continuing to post updates. For those of us who have been through this (thinking of a revision) we know how much the nose changes in the first few years. YEARS matter when making a surgeon decision, not a few weeks.

Thanks :) I'm a little surprised how few people commented on this update so I appreciate it.

Big improvement but not perfect
Grateful12October 20, 2016
A lot of you have been asking so I'm posting pictures taken today of my nose, about 10 months post op. I'm still very happy with my results and it's a huge improvement but I'll probably need a touch up. As you can see from the photos the bottom right front of my nose has a noticeable depression and so the bottom of the tip isn't symmetrical. I've spoken to dr Frankel about this and will see him at the one year mark to decide what we do. Obviously I am much more conscious of my nose than anyone else so I'm not sure if everyone else notices what I see. Probably most don't and especially from above you can't tell (luckily I am petite :)) let me know what you guys honestly think or if any questions.

Honestly it's not noticeable unless you point it out. You look amazing regardless.

I wouldn't risk doing anything to change that. It looks natural and I wouldn't even notice it as a problem.

Dr. Frankel says fixing this is a relatively mild surgery so I think low risk. Thanks

gosh i think something that small and minor is found in just about every nose out there- i think it looks nearly perfect and if it was me i wouldnt touch it- and you're right, no one will ever notice it except you. i consider that an exceptional result and would be beyond ecstatic to have such success. thanks again for posting- its always see the updates.

Thank you!! Yes I am generally very happy with it and of course it's so easy to forget what I had before and focus instead on perfection. Dr. Frankel never promised me perfect but he promised me significant improvement which I definitely have got. Still very happy with my decision to have surgery.

totally agree- and believing God I will have a positive experience like yours. :)

I believe that's just a more prominent soft triangle..could be wrong tho. I actually liked mine and had them both prior to my rhino but the left one has been obliterated by the bulging of cartilage on that side. And the right one now has cartilage sticking out around it as the right side had more taken off than the left.
I'm not sure how they will be brought to middle ground.
But i would be curious as to a more in depth assessment of what exactly that is, by Dr. Frankel..I'm not on here much for another unexpected reason going on...but will be checking in to see what he says.
Personally I don't think I'd mess with it unless it poses a further decline in the look of your nose..think about it this way, if that was your natural, birth nose, would you still want to mess with it? Go under the knife again over a small divet?
By all means keep an eye on it..but whose to say a few months from now you won't develop one on the other side and once again have perfect symmetry?
That area can get really defined even after a year or two.
