Revision rhino :) buhbye columella! Not his signature upturn look but his signature straight :)

So i just had my rhino yesterday and i have no bruising or swelling, but then again i didn't the first time that much really. keep in mind though he didn't touch the bridge of my nose!! if you are getting work on that you aren't going to heal as quickly as me and will have lots of swelling so don't expect to look like me right after surgery! i will keep you all posted and put before & after pictures. right now i am icing with corn lol . rule of thumb frozen corn works way better than those frozen eye masks! just stick them in a glove and place the fingers over your eyes. i don't have any pain except some stinging in my nostrils :/ but tylenol works for that.

ps he did work on my nostrils, shortened my columella and performed a turbinoplasty.

Okay so added photos. You can see in the before pictures my columella was way long. When I smiled it was super prominent. Also my nose was crooked and I had a lot of problems breathing. I'll post a picture of my nostrils before and after. Sorry but I can't clean them yet and they look super disgusting FYI. I was flipping a house in my before pictures so I look like a hot mess, but these are the same ones I sent Dr. G. You can see in the after pictures no bruising. However, the tip of my nose is getting more swollen so I am busting out the corn again lol. I will keep posting pictures because it helped me tons seeing others. :)

So long story short (swear I can't make this sh*t up)

I met a plastic surgeon in Scottsdale I heard was amazing at rhinoplasty. So paid upfront all good to go, a week later get a call saying his office was shut down. Apparently he was an opiate addict and robbed a pharmacy. Luckily got a full refund. Then was referred to another surgeon. This guy butchered my ears and nose. I got an otoplasty and no joke when they took off the headgear I had a huge bald spot on my scalp from how tight he made it. It was green pus and excruciating pain. He had canceled my post-op appt and thank god for my bf because I couldn't do anything. Ears still stick out and hurt to lay on (plus the permanent sutures stick out). For an ENT he should have his license revoked. He took too much off my bridge and actually made my columella hang even lower than my original nose. A few days after surgery my stitch came loose and my columella popped out and closed off half of my left nostril. So when you look at pics you can see how it still tilts to one side. Of course he assured me it would fix itself. If my nose could fix itself I'd have a lot more money in my bank account lol. Anyways that was back in October 2013. So I have been doing research since then for a new surgeon. I told myself I will only go to someone who is known for noses! I did a lot of research on realself and that is how I found Dr. G. Mainly I liked that his other patients had the same issues with their nose as me. And a lot of doctors told me they couldn't fix my columella. I just couldn't accept that as an answer. So I will be posting my recovery photos and lots of befores to help others. I hope I am able to help others with this review. Getting a revision is a lot worse because you have so much scar tissue. My surgery yesterday was 1.5 hours because of that very reason. I am just praying my stitch doesn't pop out again like my first surgery or I may have a nervous breakdown.
