Unhappy W/ Rhinoplasty - Corpus Christi, TX

I think the profile is fine. The tip looks wide. Good luck on revision.

I think you are lovely and your nose looks good! I understand though not being satisfied. I say only revise the tip! The length is not bad either.

Good luck on your revision surgery!

Unfortunately you had a bit of a crooked nose before surgery, but he should have seen that and fixed it before he rotated your slightly droopy tip upward. I'm very sorry for what you've been through. Here is your problem, obviously--he left you crooked. You need someone to feel your whole nose, look at the nose, look inside, and make sure they can see this. I'm guessing he probably broke your nose and didn't debulk your skin. By the way--you don't need to wait a year. If the tissue is soft enough now and you know things won't change, you really, really don't need to wait that long. You need to take a checklist of what is wrong and what you want fixed. Find out: 1) his post op notes, including: what part of the nasal anatomy he altered, and how. Did he break bones? Rotate certain cartilages so that your dorsum/overall nose was higher? Is your columella retracted as it appears in the picture (don't go by me--make your new surgeon look?) Take a checklist of YOUR problems, and then take down answers not just of what a surgeon replies to you, but what they recommend. 2) Ask any new surgeon if they can help the crookedness or downturnedness (whatever you dislike) with closed or open (open is much worse, obviously). Ask if they will administer kenalog if need be, if you need to have your septum packed after surgery, etc. Take notes of what they suggest and then do research. Ask them if they will use, say, a columellar graft or any graft/implant to straight the nose. They might suggest a small spreader graft to "link" the sides. Make sure they will explain every last thing that will happen to you verbally (debulking, a new graft, whatever) and that it matches what they put in the list of items you will be charged for. A lot of surgeons are dishonest about this and talk about fixing the whole nose, use some general terms, and then only fix on thing when you have four problems. 3) if they have a revision policy if you are infected, have a valve collapse, etc. If something goes wrong, they should fix you without fee. Make that clear. Don't let an office manager lie to you. He did not suitably narrow or support your tip. That is why you are crooked. HE did sloppy surgery. I'm very sorry you've been through this. One more thing--Google "deviated nose" or "crooked nose rhinoplasty (your state)" to see whose name comes up. That's a good way to find a surgeon that will fix your issue. I wish I had, because I wouldn't be where I am right now.

Who are you considering for a revision?

Good luck in your search of revision surgeon.

You look gorgeus, really! Don´t think about a revision, your nose perfectly suits your face now. You´re very pretty and it emphasizes your facial features.

Your feelings are valid! Keep trying until you find someone who can give you what you want, and communicates clearly with you. If you ask questions that they dodge or give vague answers to, move on. Wait until you find someone who in your gut feels right. xo

Your after images are really great. I suggest that you don't think of a revision
