How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

My vertical nose job !!

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 :(

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.
