I went to Dr. Eppley because his website seemed to indicate that he had knowledge of ethnic nose and had great photos posted on the site. Unfortunately, I wish I had never gone to him for surgery and sought out someone more experienced with ethnic nose. I had rhinoplasty done elsewhere and wanted the implant removed because it had deviated and the height of the implant caused me to have too much nostril show. I wanted to correct these issues while also making the height of my right nostril the same as my left. None of my concerns were addressed in surgery. Instead, my nose looks terribly distorted. My nostrils are grossly asymmetrical. Everyone still has a view up my nose. Not to mention the suture work left me with horrific hypertrophic scars. While Dr. Eppley has great bedside manner, I cannot with good conscience recommend him to perform primary or revision rhinoplasty on people of ethnic background. He left me in worse shape than when I came into his office.

I'm very sorry that after going through all of this, you're not happy with the outcome. And after spending that much money too. How long has it been since your revision because if you're still swollen, you may not be seeing your final results. I also hate the nostril show that I have now....just hate it and will never get used to it. Personally, I would not go to a general plastic surgeon for my revision. I made that mistake the first time and hope to consult with more facial plastic surgeons with lots of experience in rhinoplasty. Good luck to you and thanks for sharing.

Hi, so how are you dealing with this? Are you looking to get revision?

I am getting a revision. I waited a full year to see what the final result would be, but there is no improvement. I'm getting a revision next week so hopefully it will correct the mistake Dr. Eppley has done to my nose.

I'm so sorry for what happened to you.
What sort of implant and grafting did he put in your nose?
