Here we go again!! - Brazil, BR

I underwent a revision rhinoplasty with the same doctor as my primary procedure, which concerned me a lot since I've been reading reviews and noticing that successful revisions are often done with different professionals. Anyway, I decided to take this leap of faith and go with him again since he knew what he would find inside and any other physician would have to open first and then decide how to go about it.
On my first procedure I had a general anesthesia and was out during the whole surgery. This time I had a local anesthesia and was put to light sleep. I woke up in the middle of the surgery and pretty much communicated with the surgeons about what was going on (sounds scary but helped me feel reassured about the steps that were taken). I did feel them handling my nose and felt the stitches being done. So, if you are afraid of surgical procedures I suggest you ask to on under general anesthesia! Not just local plus sedation. To me it was fine though.
About the results, Its been exactly 24hrs since I left the OR and I notice that the columella is tucked up and no longer hanging the nostril are still uneven but I hope some of it will go down with the swelling. I haven't seen the transition between the dorsal part and the tip so I'm hoping that it's better. I'll keep you posted.

So, its been almost a year since my rhinoplasty. Initially as the swelling from the surgery started to go down I realized that the part that took longer to shrink was my columella as can probably be seen in my 1 week post op pictures. It did go down eventually though and I began to feel pleased with what I saw in the mirror. I was almost fully satisfied and my only skepticism was about my nostrils being slightly uneven. Until one of the first days I went out after my surgery. I was at a restaurant with a couple of friends and someone took a spontaneous picture of me and a friend in which I was sideways. That's when my crisis began! My columella was completely droopy and I had a bit of a supra tip, which is a small volume over the tip that makes it not defined. I was so frustrated but I hoped that swelling was responsible for that... It wasn't. As it turns out my doctor tied up my nose cartilages together to define the tip but at the time of the surgery there was no need to put in a strut for extra support since the nose was holding up fine by itself. Well, it wasn't like that for long and now even though I mostly like the way the front looks I cannot stand with my profile..
I have a revision surgery scheduled for January 14th where I'm finally getting the strut in to position my nose where it's supposed to be for good and also try to even the nostrils as much as possible. Hopefully it will be my last! Fingers crossed!
