How it works

- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

My revision rino
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 :)

1 Year Update
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.
