The email i recieved :(
$10,115
Ok so anyways i was really happy that i was going to be able to book my surgery and hopefully get this nose fixed properly hopefully for the last time....BUT then i recieved an email from Mr uppal.
The email he sent me said that he has spoken to some american surgeons (on one of his trips) and that they suggested that i do something about my acne. And until then he will not operate on me.
So i booked an appointment to go see him..because when i spoke to him on the phone he said i could have surgery to resolve my issues..they even sent me a quote.
I dont have acne..maybe a few spots here or there but defo not acne.
I do however have scarring left behind from acne which i had from a few years ago. I did try to explain this to him.
Anyways I asked him about what acne has to do with rhinoplasty..and he said that he was told by these american surgeons that i have inflamed skin. And this is why my nose has not been healing properly, and why my nose does not look right.
So he has suggested i go to see a dermatologist. Maybe get myself onto roacctune. I have been on roacctune before. But like i said i dont have acne anymore..i just have scars. So i will go see a dermalogist and see what happens. He also said that apparently patients who have been on roacctune heal better.
And one american surgeon had a patient with a similar case to mine. And advised Mr uppal on what to do.
He said to come back and see him when i have sorted this out. And then he will be able to operate on my nose.
So i will have to try and sort this out and go see him in a few months.
I still have alot of issues with my nose that really need sorting out asap. My nose needs to be done again. I dont need no minor revisions anymore. Its all getting long now.
I personally think that from the start he just didnt take off enough from my nose (from day one)..as i can see the shape of the underlying structure . The bridge is way to high. I have a bump. The tip os huge and drooping. Most of the scar tissue and swelling has gone down. But my nose is still not right. Its the actual shape of my nose structure..i can feel it when i feel my nose.
Anyways lets see what happens.. i will keep updating :)

Ive seen people with severe acne get surgery. The two are not at all related. It looks like its time for you to see some other surgeons because this one is lying to you.

I know. Thats why i went to see him. As i really didnt understand what acne has to do with rhinoplasty and the healing. I really dont know what to do anymore.

I second what the others are saying on here. He clearly does not have the expertise to deal with your nose. Go to someone else with more experience of just doing noses. I know someone who had Lucion Ion and was very pleased. Also I had a recommendation for Dr. Rowe-Jones who just does noses! You will have to pay for a consult with him, but well worth getting an expert. Take a pic with you of what you want as a guide for them. Best of luck and keep posting.

Please don't get more surgery done by this surgeon. Even if he offers to do the revision for free, it's not worth it. You will spend much more money and time in trying to fix it if he botches your nose. At the moment your nose looks OK - it's just a slightly smaller version of your original. I suggest you speak to a more professional surgeon about a revision. Acne and the structure of ones nose - bone and cartilage - are not related. It is total nonsense what he told you, which suggests to me that he was trying to find an excuse not to do any further surgery. He couldn't simply tell you straight that he is not up to the job.

A pic a surgeon on here edited for me
I am posting a pic of my nose which a surgeon on realself edited for me. Saying that my nose should look like this. I really like how it looks. Defo need to get it trimmed down. Comparing my nose and this pic theres quite a big difference. Obviously I know this is an edited pic and real life is different. But I would like my nose to look more even and straight along the bridge.

Still droopy and bridge still quite high
Its almost been a year since my initial surgery. There has been a lot of improvemnet with each minor revision. In comparison to what my nose looked like before surgery. Its better. But still a few issues.
So i recently went to see Mr Uppal again with my concerns:
*Droopy tip
*Quite long
*Bridge too high
*Tip too big,round
He said he would be able to sort out my tip by using cartilage from my rib..a rib graft. Which would hopefully help keep the tip of nose up. Give it some support.
And hopefully remove some scar tissue and give me a series of steroid shots..as i have a problem with scar tissue building up.
My bridge is also still to high. I need that trimmed down slightly.
I have attached some pics. You can see it looks different from every angle. Its still quite long. And the tip is droopy.
So anyways hopefully by the end of next week I will have booked surgery. I will be doing it under General Anaesthetic.
I have received a quote of £700 which is quite a lot. Its taking me a little while to save up. I thought when he said free revision that it would be free. But clearly its not. I have to pay for hospital and anaesthetic costs.

I recommend for you to be as specific as possible with him as to what you want. There are loads of apps where you can morph your own nose if you want to. I had the best surgeon - Ion. But I was really vague with what I wanted. My nose is still great, but it could be better if I was more specific. I rejected Uppal in the first place cos he rushed me and sounded too breezy.

Apparently he attends talks in america or something and this is what they advised him.
The joke is i dont have acne. Maybe a spot here or there. I have acne scarring..but thats diff. Its not acne.
