39 Years Old, Hoping for a Successful Revision! - Dallas, TX

I have received many pm's about what dr. Cochran did during the revision. Many thanks to all who sent me messages that my nose is looking great it really gave me a good feeling about myself and revision. So here is a little update about what i know! Im not a native speaker (though i'm fluid in Croatian and Dutch) so i hope my update is clear. I have never asked for a surgery report. I think i just trust dr. Cochran what he has told me and as i'm not a surgeon would probably not understand all of it :). I hoep i will never need it for another revision!!!! My nose bridge was to wide to make it slimmer its was broken and brought in(see photo 1&2). During my first and second rhinoplasty there was too much cartilage removed what made my tip weak and collapse(see photo 3). In photo 4 you can see red and blue colour. Red is to much what should be reduced and blue missing cartilage which he build up with ear cartilage(photo 5 simulation of end result) . He also made my nose bit shorter but really just enough to have a feminine look(photo 6). I did not want a small button upturned nose! I have strong facial bone structure (Slavic face) so it would make me look weird. I just wanted a normal straight nose. Before revision with Dr. Cochran my nose bridge was wide and nose tip narrow crooked and droopy. With chin down my nose looked endless :( We both agreed that a nose with slimmer bridge and wider nose tip( nose tip should be as wide as space between your eyebrows) would blend nicely with other facial features. He also made my nostrils less visible. Overly i'm im very pleased with the outcome and the whole healing process. For me dr. Cochran is a great surgeon and a good person with open positive energy. He really does listen to your wishes and explains everything and do not promise a perfect nose but he did say i will do my very best to come close to what we have discussed. I'm very sensitive person and always listen to my gut after the consultation i just knew he was the surgeon i was waiting for 2 decades to fix my botched nose. I hope my nose will stay this way rest of my life. Such a relief when you have a 'normal' looking nose and probably even more important a functional healthy nose. Thank you dr. Cochran!

My nose is still swollen especially my nose tip but each day I see and feel that it's getting back to normal. I'm very satisfied! Though my nose is not perfect but honestly what nose is after 3 surgeries?? My wish to have a nose that is not first thing seen when looking in the mirror is fulfilled and my obsession to check my camera after every taken photo how my face look is almost gone.

I was asked for a photo of my ear so here it is 9 weeks post op. The healing process went well did not have any issues besides that I could not sleep on my right side. I'm able to sleep on my both sides though the scar is still sensitive and have kinda itchy feeling.
