My vertical nose job !!
$6,000
My nose practically runs off of my face !!
There is no support in the tip what so ever,it drops to my lip when I smile & it's far too small & under projected for my face
The tip work is wonky & uneven ... my revision surgeon says it leans to one side
Such a huge costly mistake using Ivo for primary
My revision surgery with Lucian Ion is booked for the end of this month, I'm desperate to get this mess improved

12 year post op, devastated & depressed !
So it's been over a year now & I can honestly say my results are just getting worse & worse as the months go on.
The skill of my surgeon is just not good enough & I have paid a very high price emotionally & physically.
This mess is causing huge tensions in my marriage & I now, I somehow need to find £9,600 to have a highly skilled revision expert to fix this.
My advice to anyone seeking rhinoplasty, is if you can't afford the BEST, then do not do it. My surgery costs will now be in the region
Of £14,000 !! . Not entirely my fault, Ivo was listed as a Top doctor on Realself, that is something that needs seriously addressing !
Certainly not the case with my results & a Dr who is so defensive & completely unwilling to address his mistakes, which to me is the sign of a very bad surgeon !
I would never recommend Ivo going forward & feel terrible for the people I did 9 months ago, who I might add, are now in similar situations to me.
I've uploaded quite a few pictures, the filler in the nose is now wearing off and all the irregularities are now reappearing :(

It is really concerning how realself handles the so called "top surgeons" they are top in this site based on answering questions for the site, not based on skill. I feel it mislead people about finding the right surgeon, with the right training and skills.

Sorry to read your story. I have just had revision with Lucian ion and I'm so happy. Uppal has some bad reviews and I have seen some very poor after pics. Don't want you to make the wrong decision. It's a horrible situation xx

Thank you :) I will document my Journey & pray my revision results by Lucian are what I hope for. I've seen & heard so many positive results, he is the only surgeon I would let do it now x

You are definitely wise to go with Lucian Ion. From the reviews I have seen he is a perfectionist and voluntarily corrects anything that he believes is not 100%. I find it so scary and surprising that there are surgeons out there e.g. Dr. Jawed Tachery who botch peoples noses with no consequences. Plus this website can be misleading by putting the top reviews first and burying the horror stories! In any other profession you make a mistake and have to accept the consequences and correct the mistake... its weird that its your word against theres! But I completely agree, its either the very best or not at all. Vladimir Grigoryants in Los Angeles is incredible. I mean look at his timeline at all the befores and afters (even the ones not on the website). He is possibly even aesthetically better than Lucion Ion. For primary he asked for £7500, plus factoring flights and hotel. Well anyway, best of british luck to you! I'm so sorry this has happened and I'm sure it will all be okay soon xx

Dr. Gregoryant removes the bad reviews. There were a number of negative reviews posted with photos that suddenly disappeared.

11 months post rhino
Attached are pictures with juvederm filler (administered by another Dr at £400) in the bridge, tip and nostril & I still feel my nose looks terrible ... it looks better than it did on the bridge but the nostril is still stuck out on its own & the fact my nose length now looks so short & tip drops when I smile !
I've two revision consults booked one with Dr Uppal in Jan and the other I've a 3 month wait with Dr Lucian Ion, pretty sure I will have revision surgery with Dr Ion, but I'd like an opinion from both.
Never did I think it would be me in this situation, so my advice is if you can live with it, don't change it, it's such an emotionally, costly process, which takes over your thoughts daily when the surgeons do not get it right ! I will always regret my decision to have rhinoplasty & just pray that I can have it fixed somewhere.

That's why I don't agree with those who tell me to use a filler. I know that it is not a magic solution and surgery is the only way to fix any problem. I had a consultation with Ion but can't afford it now. Not sure how to live with it for another year.

I am 6 wk post op with Lucian Ion.My nose was really botched and he has done a fantastic job. If you feel you want a revision I would never go to anyone other than Lucian Ion.Good luck x

Thank you for your comment, I'm 90% I will have revision & do think he is the only surgeon I will use, the revision reviews on here about him are all so positive, he appears to be the best & if it comes at that price then so be it. Live & learn some hard lessons sometimes :(
Very pleased to hear your outcome is good, I knew from the moment I saw my cast I wouldn't be happy with my primary, the only time I was remotely ok was a week after when it was still swollen but I felt that shake suited my face far more than what I'm left with ! X

Mine cost £8500 and that was with an overnight stay which I would recommend.Lucian is caring and he will listen to you.I did not want an upturned nose no matter how slight and somehow he lengthened the front to cover my nostrils but the profile is shorter.i feel normal again he is so good honestly.But just remember nobody has a perfect nose you just have to be happy with it.Yours is massively better than mine was.I think Lucian will give you the result you are looking for x

I'm nearly 2 years post op from a revision with Mr. Ion and can highly recommend him, he's fab. I must post photos. You shouldn't have anymore fillers if you are considering further surgery you must stop having fillers as he won't operate on noses full of filler.

Thanks for your comment, I am not going to have anymore fillers now my consult booked with Dr Ion, I will have the fillers reversed by injection beforehand also.
Photos would be really helpful, I'm petrified of revision? However cannot face living with it like this. Dr Ion is the only surgeon I think I would trust to fix it, hope I'm right !

I've just posted photos but apparently they have to be reviewed first. Although I've had an account on here for ages, today is the first time I've posted. I was always on Look your best forum whilst going through my op. My name on there was 'Zita' is you want to read them in more detail. Good luck with your journey, you will be in good hands with Lucian.

Thank you for posting photos, I really does help to see such amazing revision results. Your nose looks amazing now, he really is so skilled.
I'm just dying to get to the consultation, although I've been told his surgery is booked up until mid June already !! He's so very in demand & I'm so impatient !

January 12, 2017
Wow he is busy! I booked consultation in August 2014, had 1st consultation 9th October 2014, second mid December then op was 13th Jan 2015. I couldn't wait to get mine done, I was impatient too.

I feel your pain, I had a revision rhinoplasty and am not sure it was worth it All I wanted was the tip refined but it seems wider than before all over and it's been six months...I wanted it done so bad that I know I would be obsessing about it until I had it done. Now I obsess about how much I still don't like it but definitely don't want to mess with it anymore. I'm trying to learn to live with it and still hoping it will settle down and look better. Good luck to you, I know what you're going through. I think you look fine -you're an attractive girl. I worry about any more revisions making it worse, the nose is so tricky and it seems so my results are bad. I, myself probably will just leave it alone - I don't want to go through this emotional roller coaster again. Good luck to you dear. :)
