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!!!
Also, how long did you tape your nose for?
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).
How did you go with the surgery?hope it all went well
Hi - I am 1 week post revision. Yet to see the results as I have a cast on which I will take off tomorrow. I will prepare a summary soon :)
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
Thank you for posting your story, it’s been so helpful! How did the revision go? :)
Excellent it looks great ! See my last post :)

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.
