WORTH IT$20,000
You can see a big difference in this before and after picture. My nose is definitely a better fit for my face. My nose is still changing, but I can pretty much see the final result. I'm going for my 1 year post op appointment in a few weeks. But I can say now that this was totally worth it.

Looks great really happy for you! You look stunning!
Frankel was my choice but lots of bad reviews have convinced me otherwise I'm terrified but I'm always really happy to read great revision reviews! X take care
I'm shocked that he got bad reviews. He's considered one of the best in the world. I really liked him and he listened to me. Did you schedule yours already?
Yes, my recommendation is NOT to go to Frankel. Ali_CG got lucky. Most of his nose jobs are an ugly mess with either the last 1/3 of the septum cut off, or the tip pulled down and the alar creases pulled up and the person's left looking like a snarling bull with a 1cc wide columella and some damage to their levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle on the sides of their alars on their face (a stitch put in there for some reason -maybe the muscles were cut). So even "flaring" their nostrils results in a movement similar to that of a bunny rabbit while the nostrils don't flare anymore. Ali_CG got luck. Most, as from what I've found out, were nowhere near as lucky.
...typo in my above comments. I meant, "....looking like a snarling bull with a 1CM wide columella..." (should be 1 centimeter wide columella). Patient is looking like a farm animal - a snarling farm animal.
You look nice and you are happy with your results and that's a great thing! So glad that you got the result you wanted! :)
Thank you!
Awesome!! Congrats!!!
I probably still need some minor work on the tip (which I will discuss with the doctor next month) but overall very happy with it.
Looks wonderful! I would stop there if I were you...can't imagine it looking any better!
There's a little issue and one of my nostrils, but otherwise I'm leaving it alone.
So Happy for you! Isn't it a great feeling to not have to think about it anymore?!
You have no idea! Well actually, you do!
;-)
I pray I get there and get my life back. Most miserable 6 months of my life.
Agreed. Most miserable year of my life. I hate rhinoplasty.

Lookin' good!
Just checking in! How ya doing? And, did Frankel ever address those areas that you were unhappy with? All the best! Hope you're well. :)
Hi. I'm doing well. I haven't seen Frankel in several months (been too busy to go to him). But I do have some issues with the scar revision on my cheek and the tip of my nose is a little funky. As for the latter, it could be from swelling still. Thanks for asking!
Hey there! Just checking in to see if Dr. Frankel ever helped you get your issues straightened out. You mentioned problems with your tip and problems with the scar revision he performed.

I feel pretty much back to normal. I still have swelling at the tip and nostrils uneven. Hopefully it will resolve over time. Otherwise very happy.

Glad that you're feeling back to normal. That in and of itself is priceless!
I posted a new picture. I just realized it's been six months.
You look gorgeous! Congratulations! You're healing faster than I am.
Did you post any new pics?
How long did your swelling last "peony? Who
Did yourrevision? What did you need? Are you happy with outcome?
Looks really good! I have uneven nostrils, but I don't think about that much since I'm short and no one sees me from below.
