WORTH IT
I had my first rhinoplasty in November 2013 with Mr Gonschior who left my nose with several deformities as well as over operated on and over reduced. I feel he didn't listen to my request for a subtle change and instead totally changed my nose to one that didn't fit with the rest of my face, he left me with a bulbous tip, gaps in my bridge, over reduced, collapsed nostrils and a alar base reduction which I never asked for.
I have been researching my revision surgeon for nearly 2 years and also suffered depression with the way my nose looks and functions as now I can't breath through my nose very well.
I have been following Lucian Ion for some time now and feel this is the surgeon who hopefully can correct my nose to what I origionally asked for which is a nose similar to my natural nose but with the lower half bridge narrower and difined tip.
Although this should have been a short simple operation the first time, My revision will be very complex and will need to use my rib for graft to re-build my nose.
I'm booked in for the operation in November and am seeing Mr Ion next month for my second consultation to confirm what he will be changing.
I have been given my morphs and I love my side morph but feel my front needs a little more work as my previous surgeon has left me with dark shadows down sides of nostrils which look very unattractive and I can still see these on my morphs. Maybe the computer imaging can not remove the shadows but I would still like to discuss this.
If anyone has had rib graft with Mr Ion please could you let me know how you got on, I'm extremely nervous ????????

you are so beautiful and would never even notice anything about ur nose but i know how important it is to be happy with ur own self. Good luck with the upcoming surgery. My surgeon did way too much to my nose and i have the same issues as u. Over reduced bridge and it does not flow very well from bridge to tip.
How many surgeons have u consulted with? Is rib the only option?

I have seen 4 surgeons and seems rib is the best to give my nose the best chance to look how I want it and slso function better x

I'm having a revision with Ion on 8 Dec. Having my previously botched bridge built up with rib. Done an awful lot of research and Ion does seem to be one of the best for revisions. Good luck!!

Yes I have them and I really really hope he can make my nose as it looks in them! I realise they only give a rough idea but my previous botch up surgeon didn't do any morphs and gave me a nose so unlike what I wanted so morphs are really important to me now!

Hey lovely!!! That's what I feel, my surgery is booked for the 10th of November with Lucian! I have shadows down my nose and he can't get rid of them from the photo, so I guess we'll have to try and imagine! Unfortunately I was just born this way, this wasn't because of a previous surgery! I'll be posting my photos up once I've had my second consultation. What date is your surgery? Feel free to message me privately if you want to chat more! Xx

Hi all, well I have had my operation and feeling good. Obviously worried about whatnot will look like once cast is off.
Not in much pain, kept onto of pain killers.
He used soft rib tissue to build my bridge and tip.
I remember its the 2nd and third day meant to be the worst so I wont lie I'm not looking forward to the swelling.
But sure if he broke me nose, I forgot to ask him as he phoned me when I was in hospital bed instead of coming to see me. Also
I can feel air bubbles in my chest at right side, is this normal?

Thank you, I feel great atm my rib a bit sore but it's day 2 and 3 im dreading. How did you feel?xx
November 17, 2015
Hey chloe i am just 5 days post op myself, yes day 3 for me was my worst , really tired from the fact that you can't sleep laying down and have to keep you head elevated. went to the surgeon yesterday for MLD massage to reduce swelling and first post op check. it was good to get out and about even if you not looking your best with the cast on, saw some intra operative images of my new nose and i love it ! really happy lets hope all heals well.

Hi Chloe I hope you are feeling not too bad today. No I went to Chris Inglefield after many consultations. It was between Chris or Lucian in the end. I chose Chris as I was having my jaw and chin refined in the same operation V line facial feminization surgery which Chris Inglefield specializes in .

Sorry guys just read this back, lots of spelling mistakes and bad grammar. Im still a bit out of it with all meds.
Mr Ion called me again today make sure I was alright, so I asked him if he broke my nose and he did, I was amazed as didn't have bruising, but a little is appearing now though.
The trapped air in my chest is fine, I guess it's simular to when you have a BA you get the same thing x

Just wanted to clarify Mr Ion operated on me on a day which he was suppose to be in clinic consulting as I pushed for an earlier date due to me being off work already, so I presume he had to head back to his office after my surgery. Which I was totally fine about.
November 18, 2015
Hi there, your looking really well for day two. I looked and felt like death! Excited to see your result as I'm planning on consulting with Dr Ion for a revision also. Do you mind me asking how much it's all costing? I'm just wondering if there's much difference in his prices between primary and revision. Thanks x
November 21, 2015
Hi I think he's costs for primary and revision are the same, it's only extra if you need grafts xx
January 14, 2016
Hi could you please tell Me if he did use graft if yes from where and also what was the cost in British pound thank you

Day 2
RSMember2359November 18, 2015
I'm really surprised how good I feel, I was expecting not to be able to open my eyes with swelling today. But just a bit on one eye.
I was sick this morning after having some Manuka honey which is suppose to have healing properties and fight against infection and heal wounds.
At £17 a pot I think I habe wasted my money. My stomach just can't take it.
My stitches look clean and dry so I haven't needed my drip pad since last night.
My skin feels oily and lips dry but that's normal.
My rib hurt when I was sick but nothing came to my nose thank god.

The end result is excellent. The price was very competetive, too. Overall, truly excellent value for money.
This worries me now x
