I went to a few consultations and decided on Dr. Sumpter based on her bedside manner and her confidence. Her office staff was very courteous and she was friendly. I wish I would have read reviews and done more research before going through with the surgery. She has multiple negative reviews on google and Yelp. She may be gifted at other procedures, but rhinoplasties are not one of them unfortunately. There is nothing small, delicate or feminine about my nose post-op. I actually had a lot more tip definition and projection pre-op. I cannot wait for the year to be up so I can have a revision done by a specialist. On top of the poor aesthetic outcome, I also have a collapsed nasal valve, very deviated septum, and poor incision/scar. I also have excess cartilage and/or hypertrophic scarring all inside my alar rims. I'm so upset that when all is said and done I'm going to have to pay twice as much to fix this mess. $6k down the drain and I look worse. I wish I had my money and old nose back.

I'm so sorry to hear that and I totally understand what are u going through because I'm
The same,I've done the first op my tip looked horrible and dropped,I've done the revision with the same surgeon and nothing changed so my advice is don't go with the same surgeon for revision find a specialist as u will feel as worse as me,good luck !

Thank you so much for commenting. Absolutely, I've decided not to do my revision with the same surgeon.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I was in your same position (different outcome but equally disappointed and disatisfied). I am now a year and a half post primary and looking into revisions. The good news is, of course, you are not disfigured and you may not look better, but you can go out in public and take your time and people will likely never notice a thing. Try to put the money, time, and suffering behind you and plan for a revision with a qualified revision specialist. I have seen one so far and would recommend you visit him too. I'm glad to see you are not thinking of returning to your primary surgeon - anecdotal evidence suggests this is not a fruitful route for most.

I have a collection of before and after pics . and take pictures each visit post op visit ,in order to show the progress . your pictures should be taken in the same angles and same light to realy apreciate the changes .It is very tipiycal to show a much wider tip for few months .Non of the lessI am not discounting the possibility that you wouldmight not be compleatly satisfied at the end of a year.this is realy the case where you need to be patient.If you goDr, hoping I am sure you will find more that one to operate on you too early. This is very comon, and you will end going through a series of doctors that would say the opposite just for their financial benefit.
No Dr., no matter how specialized, can say that his/her results are always perfect. but at his moment you cant make a judgment yet.

Just got back from my 3 month post op visit. Doc says it looks great. I don't trust what's doc's definition of great must be. My tip is the same size and just as bulbous, and I anything I have LOST definition and details and have an EVEN WIDER bridge. She also said I don't have a deviated septum, although it's quite visible. And also doesn't agree that I have a collapsed valve. Even though I do. So *sigh* I smiled and made my 6 month follow appointment. I really wish she wild give me my surgical fees back so I may pursue a facial plastic surgeon to revise this mess. She suggested we see what happens 6 months from now, but I don't want her to revise. I want to get it done right and be done with all these problems.

My situation is similar to yours. My tip is super bulbous and fat. Even the bridge looks abnormally wide. I am 2months post op. Super depressed and have been stuffing myself with food.. this may make matters worse.. my nose could end up gaining fat no growing bigger..
Oh.. by the way, my new nose is also crooked..

I'm glad I am not alone. I've also emotionally ate because of this issue, realized my face got a lot fatter in the last 3 months
