LOVE my New Nose!!! - Beverly Hills, CA

ORIGINAL POST

I had 2 rhinoplasties in the past and I hated it....

WORTH IT$10
I had 2 rhinoplasties in the past and I hated it. So, I'm pretty scared to go for my 3rd one. But you know what they say....3rd time is a charm. I had my revision w/ 2 very talented doctors at Beverly Hills Profile. Dr. Litner and Dr. Soleiman are very caring, very artistic and they have passion for what they do. I would give these guys 10 stars if I could. I'm sooo happy with the result. My nose not only look natural, but I did not bruise at all. I had minimal swelling around my forehead but that was it. I scheduled to take 2 weeks off from work bc I was so scared of going back to work too soon with the swelling. But I went back to work 10 days after the surgery. My BIGGEST fear was I was going to look like a complete person or it wouldn't look natural. I'm asian and I was skeptical about picking caucasian doctor to do my surgery. But I'm so happy that I chose these guys. BEST doctors for rhinoplasty. Do your homework guys. Ask lots of questions and look at before and after photos. These doctors are expensive, but they're worth it. After all, you shouldn't compromise when selecting a doctor. Remember, this is your face and you have to look at yourself in that mirror. Good luck to anyone that's choosing a rhinoplasty doctor.

Thanks for sharing your experience on RealSelf! How long was it after surgery until you were back to your normal routine?

Hi, thanks for sharing! I completely agree , & can relate. don't ever give up! Always do your research! It took me 4 times till I got to be happy with my end result :) if I had done my research from the start, I would not of had to put myself through 4 procedures

Hi Didi, Thanks for reading my comment. I'm just wondering who's your last doctor? I'm glad four times a charm for you. :-) actually, I'm about 5 weeks post surgery, but now I noticed I have a small bump at the bridge of my nose. And I'm praying that it will go away soon. I love the tip of the nose, but that bump really bugs me. I hope I don't hAve to do another revision. This is my 3rd revision. I'm hopeless and scared. Any advice from you is appreciated. Can you let me know your doctor's name? Thanks so much! Hope to hear back from you.

Hey Connie, the 1st one was a plastic surgeon, who I had the 2 open rhino's with. he was decent! The 3rd procedure was with an ENT, biggest mistake ever. Finally, this one was was with Theodore Golden. I was very scared doing mine a 4th time, but i was so determined to have anormal nose! In my past experience when a bump would form, depending on the texture of it, it would likely go down in time. however, in my case the previous time it was scar tissue, from being done so much... don't panic though cause if it is scar tissue it's a simple fix. Hope this was a bit helpful. If you have any other questions or concerns let me know and good luck :)

Btw... You mentioned that if its a scar tissue, it should be an easy fix. But I don't want to keep getting filler shots every year just to mask the problem. What other options do I have?

Honestly I never had to do the filer shots , it was fixed durning this last revision.,, the key is you need to give time for the tissue to settle. I had to wait over a year before he did this final revision. I guess the longer you wait for a revision the better outcome you will receive in your final results. Dr. Golden said that cause I been done so much I won't see the final outcome for at least 2yrs. He patience is the hardest part.

It's ok, it was 6800, thank you! However, Dr.Golden re does you for free a sencond time if you are not completely satisfied, He is a perfectionist & cares about his patients happiness
