Ghavami Rhino: Nightmare on Camden Street

Yes I had uneven swelling and supratip fullness until just two weeks ago at 4 months. 4 weeks ago he gave me 2nd steroid shot and after applying some nightly tape ...much improved. Hang in there.

Thank you yes he told me he will give me steroid shot it it hasn't improved at 6weeks but I e read side effects, and yes He assures me it's swelling but my nostrils are so uneven my alar rim on one side is low and straight and the other side looks pinched. I hope it is just swelling. Thanks for your advice

hi, im going through a similar issue now- can you please let me know if anything has changed until now? pl

I am glad I did the lift because it did not pull up as much when I smiled after the first rhino. The middle of the lip got longer. Not much of a scar...nothing hypo topic...there is a slight indentation under right nostril ..like a scratch..but there is still time to heal and it's not bad at all.

Hi. I am still waiting for swelling in the tip to resolve. It has more swelling on one side than another. Doc had been treating irregularity with monthly water injections. Now we are just waiting to see how it resolves on its own. Once again...he says my body inflammation highly reactive and I agree. My tip dropped a little more than I wanted it to...but without even mentioning it ...the last time I saw him in November Dr. T said "I think we should consider raising your tip a bit but it's still a little too early". I was surprised he mentioned it before I did. He also said he would be the first to tell me if I needed any more work on my nose. I liked that he's been so proactive and wants my nose to turn out the best it can safely. Time will tell. I see him at the end of this month and will post more then. Still...I am more happy with it now than I was before. It no longer looks unnatural.

My doc did two steroid injections but said my skin reactive so he's hesitant to do more. I recently read that lasers can help to shrink wrap the nose skin to the cartiludge and bones. This might be worth a try for you. Too early for me as iam 8 months post revision and
It takes longer for revisions to heal than primaries.

Hmmmmm in the past week I've been diligently massaging and I think the tip has lifted a little. Interested to see if the doc agrees when I see him next week. There was a lot of swelling in the anterior columella that has subsided a bit since the frequent massage.

Of course everybody only shows their best. But look at their worst as well. You'll have to dig around. Is their worst just kind of...not ideal. Or are they really bad? I'd say based on some horrible results...I'd not risk it and go for someone that seems to have consistent results.

Find his best and worst pics you can find...and consider your result could be either. Are you willing to take that risk?

I'd rather go for a doc that has adequate and consistent results than results which range from great to horrendous

Why did I choose Dr. T? Mostly because right after examining my nose and withiout me saying a word about my primary rhino surgeon ....he asked "Dr. Ghavami?". I was floored and asked how he knew...and he replied "because I do a lot of his revisions".

WoW, that says it all! Thanks so much for your honest review! Great to horrendous is what I had with my primary, I can't go through that again.

Who is Dr T?

Scroll her pics and you will see his name

Oh yes. I was over resected by ghavhami so Dr. Ben had to build up my nose with ear...and maybe some of the septum I had left. He took the ear cartilage from my more prominent right ear.
