Anyone knows about dr Trenite? Still looking for a surgeon, and I've heard good things of this one, but sadly there are not many reviews about him. Anyone knows or have any experience with him?
I've also been told about Gubisch, in Germany. Still less info about him.
Thanks!

Consultation with dr Palma
4thandlastSeptember 20, 2017
I update the review to say that I finally went to see dr Palma all the way to Milano. Even though it was a really expensive flight+consultation (220E) I decided to give it a go since he's supposedly so famous about Rhinoplasty.
I couldn't be more disappointed. I was the first patient of the afternoon and the dr came 40 min late to the clinic, so I waited there while the patients after me started to come. After asking me some questions about my previous procedures he asked me what I wanted to be done, briefly explored my nose and then proceeded to take a lot of pictures of my nose. At the end he didn't say much, he only told me he would study them and get back to me via email, that my case was a really hard case and would only operate if there was a high probability of success.
The whole consultation didn't even reach 30 min, after paying a lot of money and flying to a different country. I was not expecting such a rushed thing, but I guess I should have expected it when I went in 40 min late. I did not expect to spend most of my consultation time getting pictures so he could analyze them later on. I won't criticise much about how he works, as he's the professional, but if the most important part of that important trip was only to get my pictures, why do I need to go over there, instead of just reviewing the pics I sent through the email?
It truly felt like I just wasted a lot of money, but I decided to wait for the email and see, maybe he would send me an outstanding analysis of my nose with morphs and such, and I'd be blown out by how meticulous he is, as other reviews point out.
A few weeks later the email came in, he briefly told me my case was too hard so he would not operate it. That's it. I have to say that he is polite and nice in the face to face communication, I don't inted to bring him down or anything, but I can't recommend anything else about it if anyone is lloking for reviews about him. Although I agree the honesty of saying he can't fix my case and not destroying my nose out of greed, it totally feels like completely wasted money.

Hi really sorry to read this.
Are you able to put this to bed now? Is it just too risky? I hope you fine peace it's so terribly disappointing after one bad rhinoplasty yet alone going for a fourth I really can't imagine. I am currently saving to see Lucian however I'm torn between learning to live with this mess or to risk it again. How do we move on it's the million dollar question there are some greedy unethical doctors in this world! Like most of us on here wish to god I'd never touched it! Do you now have to just respect what these top doctors are saying?

You're totally right, some doctors are just... I'm still researching, I know I won't stay with this nose, so I'll have to eventually risk it with one even if it's the last thing I do. Ion looks good, I think he could probably help you.

September 24, 2017
Look at Tamer Şakrak , I know you said no to Turkey but he seems pretty good, from his pics on fb and instagram. I emailed him myself and sent him my pics he told me what he would have to do from the pictures I sent him and I was surprised that he said the same as the doctor here in Canada. I’m gonna need an ear graft. He sent me the cost and how long I would have to stay and they would pick me up and even make arrangements for my hotel. So he’s on my list just from his results that I’ve seen and the way he answered all my questions. So I don’t have to fly there for just a consultation! Try him you never know. And my nose looks a lot worse then yours! Mine is lower on the left side and the tip twists to the left! I’m not rushing into it cause I’m really scared of another bad outcome. This took over my life. So I’m searching still and I would love to get it fixed now but I don’t want to make another mistake. Good luck

Hello,
I hear what you are saying - but the fact ion has such a long wait though, is that not encouraging as it means lots of people are going to him so he gets lots of practice! Thought I see your comment re front view.some of the best work I’ve seen is by Gary motykie however I’m so sceptical as there is so much flase advertising its frightening! If they are not photoshopped then they are amazing! Have you seen him?

No I haven’t seen him. I haven’t made a decision to go to turkey yet cause I’m scared. Like you said never know of the false advertisement. I want it done like right away but just can’t rush into it like I did last time and came out really bad. I’m still depressed and I don’t like going in public! Anyways look at Tamer Şakrak’s instagram he’s pretty good I think and you can email him with your pics and he will tell you what you need done and how much it will cost you.
September 26, 2017
Yes strange since your case does not look that complex although I am not a doctor of course. Amongt the docs you have seen and who have agreed to operate you, what came up as the most likely plan for your nose: graft, if yes which ones, no graft at all, close or open mode? From what I see on the pics, its looks more like a repositionning than grafting

If you don't want to rush into it this time then perhaps Dr Ion will be worth the wait? Also have you looked into Spencer Cochran in US?

Consuming surgeons
4thandlastAugust 28, 2017
I've been consulting some surgeons for the revision and it's pretty discouraging. I've contacted the best Turkey ones and flew over there, and they lose interest in the surgery as soon as they see how complex my case is. My advice to anyone thinking about Turkey is just don't, unless you're an already pretty girl with a pretty straight forward rhinoplasty so they can upload it to their website. Really disappointed about the surgeons there
I've also contacted a couple of surgeons from netherlands, but they stopped replying too after seeing my photos.
I've consulted about a dozen of other less known surgeons in some countries, most of them willing to do the procedure, but I don't think they're among the best.
Also contacted some doctors from the US, like Toriumi, Lamperti... That tell me it would be a surgery with close to no warranties, but with quotes of 20-30k. Are we crazy? Are you going to charge me 30k for a couple of hours of surgery and don't even give me any hope about the procedure? This is what I call a Mafia. I think the US is out of the question with policies like these... I hope one day the laws will change and will make surgeons vulnerable so we can avoid the horrible stories of those botched or undergoing multiple revisions. It's disgusting.
Despite all I'm given my last chance to it, I'll be seeing a surgeon in Beverly hills this week, we'll see.
Also I'll be flying to Milano next week to have a consultation with Pietro Palma. I hope he's as great as they say he is.
I also update another pic about my nose deviation if anyone is interested.
Take care

September 2, 2017
I know not much as well :D
But i will go there soon to get some information and if they convince me i will do my rhinoplasty this trip. The before/after pictures in some clinics/hospitals are amazing.

Good luck with that. I hope you find a good doctor and finish your rhinoplasty journey. I personally don't trust online pictures, but you're going personally over there so there's no problem!

Good Luck with the consult! Prof Palma is the go to guy for Revisions in Europe IMO.
September 1, 2017
Thanks! I have my hopes on him. You looked pretty happy about him, could you give me more info? Cost, how pleased you are... Etc?
September 2, 2017
I'm 15 months post op now and really happy.
I was hyper focused on the very marked deviation but he also highlighted and addressed issues I hadn't noted; a slightly retracted columella, tip dropping when smiling amongst other things. I also needed another Septoplasty. Not all surgeons offering Rhinoplasty are able to adequately or safely deal with that aspect of surgery, if at all. I met one plastic surgeon here who couldn't/wouldn't straighten my Septum which was an integral part of correcting the deviation (yours is extremely mild compared to my pre-revision nose). They say "as the Septum goes, so goes the nose". I don't know if that has any relevance to your case but my advice to anybody seeking revision would be to make sure you have a surgeon who excels in both the functional and cosmetic aspect of Rhinoplasty.
I think Professor Palma will be honest with you about what can or can't be safely done. Good Luck!

I am not an expert but your nose does not seem to be very complicated case. Why it is hard to find a good doctor? Try Lucian Ion in London even if it is a long waiting queue.
September 1, 2017
While I agree that I don't need a total reconstruction again, fix a crooked tip can be challenging, so I'm not going to risk it. Ashley multiple procedures the nose becomes more and more unpredictable, that's the main complication right now. If I were a primary I'd have a much better chance.
I'd like to have surgery now in September, Ion is not going to make the cut unfortunately

Try Lucian ion in UK AND dr BENJAMIN swartout in Beverly Hills. You can call and talk to him for free and even see him for a free consult.
September 2, 2017
I saw him in July for a consult and spoke to him on the phone a few times. I see ion in November.it will be between the two for me. I need to get this next surgery right. I'm sorry you are going thru this as well.
