My revision rino
WORTH IT$10,448
Hi all
So I did my revision !
I ended up more bruised and swollen from this small op, than I did after my primary op. The first week was the same sort of recovery from my primary op, if not worst, because I didn’t mentally prepare myself. However, I healed much quicker after the cast came off and it was worth it.
Dr Shahidi filed the little bump, pulled my tip in a little and straightened my septum - all closed rhino.
I am taping and douching every night until I see Dr S again in December.
I am happy with the results so far :)
The photos attached were taken at my last follow up which was between 1 - 2 months post op.

I am doing a small revision (closed)
Hellooo all !!
I have been regularly seeing Dr Shahidi since my first operation. We have been monitoring the small issues. He has been fantastic !
After 2 years, we have decided to do a very small revision (closed) rhino, to remove a small bump that you can slightly see from one angle. It is giving a crooked appearance to my tip. He will also be opening the airways to help with breathing. This small operation is expected to take approx 45 minutes (my initial surgery was 4 hours).
All my follow up appointments were free and my recision is free.
This is a low risk, fast healing and less evasion option.
Has anyone had anything similar done?
I am attaching a photo of my nose as it is now, and a photo I have edited pushing in the bump only (I hve not touched the tip). You will notice it gives my tip a straighter appearance.
Let me know your thoughts :)

you look great! I'm loving your nose! I am 2.5 weeks post op and I 'm loving my nose even though it's still swollen. I get worried that it won't refine more as my Dr says I didn't swell that much, from the sides I love my nose but from the front in pics only it still looks like a potato, ha! I feel that with nightly taping, my nose looks best in the morning after I remove the tape so I'm hoping that it actually IS still swollen. When did you notice the swelling really went down? I'm so impatient I just want it to be perfect right now! But overall I am happy so I'm sure that is a good sign. I also went to a very good doctor so I'm hopeful about my final outcome. Your surgeon did an excellent job!!!

Hi - it really does take 1 year for all the swelling to subside. Dont worry it will keep shrinking I can assure you. Keep taking pictures and toward the 1 year mark you will notice it. I feel like my nose continued to shrink even after 1 year ! It will only get better and better :)

I think I taped my nose every night for 3 months. It gave it a nice shape. I just hated how clogged my pores were !

you nose looks lovely and you look very pretty. What sort of procedure will he have to do to correct the issues?

Thank you ! My Dr will file the remaining bump down by going through my nostril. He also mentioned doing something internally to straighten the septum/open the airways. I will have a better idea of exactly what is happening at my pre op appointment.

I also think your nose looks great such an improvement your side profile is beautiful but at the same time i can understand if there is something your still not happy with and while i cant see any bump in the pictures sometimes photographs dont show little things especially with makeup on.best of luck with your revision

Thank youuu and exactly! I wont be messing with the current 'design' of my nose as it is only a minor revision and will not make much of a difference. The aim of the revision is a straighter appearance on both the outside and inside (for breathing).

Hi, how are you feeling now after the revision, has breathing improved? X

Yes breathing improved slightly. Dr S is going to remove some scar tissue in my nostrl from the revision when I see him next so my breathing will be even better after that. The results of the revision are amazing and im really glad I did it, and the initial rhino. It looks so natural and well suited to my face

So it's been 1 year now - how the time flys...
As the swelling has gone down, the true results show. Now it's not perfect but its a big improvement and overall I am happy.
Issues:
- I cant breathe out of my right nostril like I used to as the airway in my right nostril is smaller than the left.
- I had swelling on the bone of the bridge of my nose which makes it look like a really small bump from my right side profile. i've had 2 cortizone injections at my last two follow up appointments which has been bringing down that swelling.
- the bottom of my nose does not look fully straight.
It's important to keep in mind that I had a very large bump so i'm lucky to get the result that I have as I see alot of people with large bumps like mine that still end up with a bump post op.
Dr Shahidi has been great with his follow up care.
