WORTH IT
I have just booked in my revision rhinoplasty surgery with Dr. Frankel and am so excited to hopefully have this be the final surgery in my revision journey. THANK YOU everyone who has posted his or her story and pictures on here. It has led me to Dr. Frankel who truly seems like a master and artist at what he does. I will update you on my own revision journey and will be sharing pictures along the way to hopefully help others make an informed choice.
A bit of background about my case - this will be my fourth rhinoplasty, third revision. My last one was 7 years ago when I just gave up hope of having a beautiful nose. Dr. Frankel has given me that hope back :) He will hopefully correct my overly shortened nose, boxy and highly asymmetrical tip, retracted nostrils, and slightly too wide and scooped bridge. I hope I will tell a positive story on here. Now that I've made the decision, just waiting for the surgery date to finally arrive.. I will be flying in from Europe for it. And I just wish it could come sooner! Wish me luck!! :)) pictures to follow closer to the surgery!

Wow your nose looks so very similar to mine before my revision 3 years ago with dr Frankel. I had no cartilage left so he used cadaver rib tissue on me. I had the same collapsed tip, hanging columella etc. I am positive he will make an incredible difference for you. Good luck!!

Please let me know what you think, My daughter will have a revision with Dr. Frankel in February, 2106

you are working with a wonderful doctor. His noses are very natural. You are going to look great! Deep breathes.......If you want to throw people off at work change your hair style. That's what I did 4 months ago.

... And I am getting so nervous!!! I'll definitely do the surgery and have already paid but concerns are starting to arise... What if everyone at work realises that I've had surgery and judges me for it? I'm going back into work just a couple of weeks after surgery. Anyone have experience with this? Is the swelling super obvious?
What if my new nose doesn't fit my face? What kind of nose do I even want? I'm not even sure what fits my face..! I've gotten so used to my less than perfect nose after all these years.. Any words of encouragement are welcome :)

Omg my nose is SOOOOO SIMILAR TO YOURS! I can't wait to see your results! I had a consult with frankel and haven't decided who I want yet for my revision. Thank you so much in advance for posting your journey!

All I can say is good luck. I had a revision but it did not work out. Everyone's case is different. Who cares f people judge you. Do what feels right.

The swelling probably will be visible at two weeks (mine certainly was and still is). Taping, icing and a low salt diet is all you can really do, although Dr Frankel did mention something about a steroid you could take pre surgery to avoid/reduce swelling after... perhaps you could ask him and tell him about your work commitments. Good luck!

I went back to work after about 2 weeks post revision and no one noticed anything about my nose. I was still very swollen. Good luck.

Thank you Zooster! I really hope nobody notices.. It's giving me nightmares :/

I went straight back to work 2 weeks post my rhinoplasty and nobody noticed and I work in a tiny office of 10 and so we are all very close. Don't worry
