I wanted to upload some pictures of how much nose looks after 3 years, as you can see my nose is still wide and the tip has definitely dropped I also see some unevenness. I will be calling his office to see if it’s still swelling or possibly scar tissue? I’ll keep you guys updated.

Long overdue update!!
nimi09October 9, 2020
Hello everyone, I wanted to come back and warn those who are looking into DR. G. I want to start off by saying that DR. G is a professional on side views but definitely not the surgeon if you’re looking for a beautiful front view. I am now 3 years post op and I wish I would have waited and done more research! I am crushed that my nose did not come out how I wanted. And I am currently saving up for a revision. Please look at my past photos of when I came out of surgery my nose is still wide and not defined from the front view.

Sorry to hear you are not happy. I was his patient too and I hate my nose. I was really disappointed in him. Lots of his patients have this sausage looking front. I don’t know maybe this is due to his suturing technique or maybe it is a result of closed rhinoplasty. I wish had gone with a different doctor.

Whats this Dr name? I want to make sure I dont go to him u can em me atoney54@yahoo.com plz

I feel the same way. I had my surgery a few years ago and I chose him too quickly based on his side profile pics. I hate my front profile. Plus my breathing is pretty messed up. Have you already chosen a revision doctor?

DONT go to Anil Shah then. He messed up everything. SOOOOO unhappy. To be honest, I think I would stear clear of any doctor that actively advertises on this website.

I could not agree with you more!!!!! Anil Shaw is the worst! My daughter had the same experience and had to have it reversed by someone else. Get it right the first time because the second time is much more complicated. I look to this website for pictures and that's it. If the doctor is really good, they would have more than enough business by word of mouth. So much guilt sending my daughter to him.

DO NOT GO TO Anil Shah. Just like the previous person commented . Trust US!

Love / hate relationship with my nose

8 months have past now. It's crazy to think that in about 4 months my nose will be turning 1 year :) wohooo! My nose is constantly changing there's days where I absolutely hate my front view and then there's those days where I just want to call up my surgeon and thank him haha! I think my nose is about 60% healed just because it doesn't feel like there's a foreign object in the middle of my face. I can finally blow it without any discomfort also pick at it haha sorry if this is tmi. My tip is feeling softer and not as hard as before, also I stopped tapping but might got back to it just so I won't wake up so swollen (that's when my insecurities kick in) this process has been such a roller coaster but I don't regret doing it at all! I love the new me

We both have thick skin.. i got mine done 9/7/17 still waiting for the tip to heal and the swelling to come down still wide for me

Hey there I’m hoping it’s still swelling I am 1 year post op. still don’t see any difference but overall I’m happy with my new nose(: have you seen any changes in yours?
January 11, 2018
Sadly six skin no is just not like any other note I am so far happy with my nose not What I wanted but to get the notes I want I have to get another surgery but the notes I have right now matches I say and if I put it next to my old picture I can see a difference it’s not as wide as it used to be and he lifted up
January 25, 2018
my nose was very wide (swollen) but I am now seeing changes which I’m so happy about! I see you are 4 months post op give it a year and if you are still not happy then I say you look into getting another surgery but it takes time. I was going through an emotional roller coaster
May 20, 2018
could you please update us if the swelling went down? I'm one year post op and still not happy with my front view but trying to stay positive. dr. G says I have thick skin and will notice change after 1 1/2 year
October 9, 2020
Hey there, unfortunately my front view is still wide no new changes. I wish I would’ve waited tbh. I found a surgeon that is an expert on contouring the front of the nose. Unfortunately, DR. G is an expert for side views only.

Did you get injections? He waited over two years to offer them to me and after a long time of no improvement I finally saw some change. I have my next appt w/ him in a couple weeks and I really hope he thinks another batch of injections is a good idea as I still have fullness on either side of my bridge.
October 11, 2020
Hi there!! what injections did he offer you? I have not seen him in over 2 years. I think I should set up an appointment with him and let him know about concerns. If you don’t mind emailing me at Nikkihernandez626@gmail.com I would really like to know more about your situations. I hardly come on here thank you.
