Disappointing (with pictures)

Side-by-side comparisons

Here are some side-by-side comparisons of my results from Frankel. I thought these might make it easier for people to judge the work (sorry the photos are small- I'll try to make them bigger). Also, if anyone has had a chronically runny nose caused by rhinoplasty and has found a solution, please let me know. I've tried steroids, antihistamines, astragalus, fish oil, etc, and nothing has fixed the problem. The only thing left I know to try is another surgery, but I'm not sure if that will help even.

Have you read Girl Towns review of Frankel?Her nose was totally transformed by Lucian Ion as was mine.I had a very runny nose after my second rhinoplasty.My nose would drip and I couldnt even feel it.This has now totally stopped since my revision with Lucian
That's great to hear! Congratulations! You must be so relieved. Yes, I'm considering Dr. Ion too. I just have so much fear of doctors now, I practically have a panic attack just thinking of setting up an appointment. But I've got to do something eventually.
I'm soooo sorry! Did you go to him too?
No but I keep coming across people who have been botched by him. I was botched by someone else
He does provide very pretty morphs which is a huge selling point. Sadly he can never get even close to the morphs.
Yes, I loved my morph.

My ear before Frankel

For the person who said they can't see anything wrong with my ear after the Frankel surgery, I'm posting this picture of my left ear, which has never been operated on. This is what my right ear looked like before the Frankel surgery. Everyone who has seen these pics and seen my ears in person can see the problem with my right ear after Frankel's surgery, so I don't know why this one person claims they can't. But maybe this will help.

LoraBee, it was me, I know what you mean now, I had never paid close attention to an ear before, but you’re right. If I saw someone with the issue I might not notice, but you know your ear doesn’t look right, you know how it looked before, and it should look the way it was. Many of us mourn for things that changed because of a surgery that was supposed to make us look and feel better. I really understand.
No problem. That's why I post pictures. So people can judge for themselves if they like the work or not, and would be happy with it or not. If this ear problem doesn't bother some people, then they don't need to be concerned about it when looking for a revision surgeon.
The only doctor capable and willing to fix a Frankel botch is Mr Lucian Ion in London, UK. Myself and at least 7 others have been helped by him.

More pictures

Because I know how useful pictures are to people who are trying to pick a rhinoplasty doc, I am adding some more here of my results from Frankel. Good luck to all of you looking for a revision surgeon!

Oh no. Your nose looks like my nose. I went to Jeffrey Epstein. Did you ever go to another surgeon to correct ? So sorry. I know how you feel.
So sorry for you! I haven't had it corrected yet, but plan to - hopefully soon.
I have to admit that Frankel did a very bad job; he botched you. I wish you all the best.
1.5 year after pix taken in his office looks fine but the 7.5 years after really shows what eh did. I guess swelling was hiding the defects.
Yes it seemed to have been getting worse over time, but I didn't even like it at 1.5 years after. Lighting can definitely make a difference with pics too.
Your original photo and your morph look very similar to me. I can't tell what you actually wanted changed?
Frankel did the same thing to my nose, or perhaps his students did. Either way the results were disastrous. The only person to go to after this sort of debacle is Lucian Ion in London UK. Good luck, I feel your pain and Im so sorry you have gone through this.
