3 years later - still in love with my nose

WORTH IT
3 years po and I’m still very happy with the result from my revision with Mr Ion.
I removed the before photos because I find it hard to look back at what had happened to me when my first surgery which was suppose to be just minor to straighten my nose went so wrong where it collapsed and was made significantly smaller with nostril reduction which was never agreed nor discussed.
Mr ion lengthened and lifted my nose keeping it looking femanine with rib graft.

Great result thanks so much for updating after so long. It’s so helpful to know the result has stood up after three years. You look beautiful.

14 months PO

Morning.
So I have realised I haven't replied back to a lot of people now so I'll just write a quick update and take some now photos.
I'm still happy with my nose.
I do have swollen days still where my nose might look shapeless but if it's bothering me I'll just tape it over night and I usually get my definition back. Sometimes it works others not as good but I still feel my nose can change from day to day even at 14 months PO.
I still swear by taping at night to get the best definition and find if I don't it can look rounded at the tip. However throughout the day the swelling will subside but it will never look as defined as it would when I tape it.
So in all I'm happy still.
I'll update after my next appointment in May xx

Honestly, Ion is the best and if I lived closer I would go to him but I live in the USA ! You look so beautiful!

@jennytyler I'm from the US, I live in chicago. I have consultation with Dr. Ion in march for revision. Flights weren't expensive.

Hi Jessica, I'm from London considering coming to Chicago for a revision! What's your thoughts on Toriumi? He's on your doorstep se assuming you've considered him? I'm also consulting with ion in March (I had a primary with Steven Denenberg 10 years ago but things haven't worked out)

Hi r1kp, I would recommend you to save your money. Toriumi over grafts noses. I never considered him for surgery, he is expensive, rude, and I don't like his noses. I think you should go for Ion.

Sorry for butting in @r1kp if I were you I would go to Ion.
January 17, 2017
Thank you both so much for your comments and thoughts, the bad reviews for toriumi have scared me! I'm hoping ion is the man to end my 10 year nightmare journey! Just worried about the wait time (my nose took a bump a couple of months ago and has progressively felt structure and appearance deteriorate since then). My consult with ion is end of March so hoping I can get a surgery date ASAP after that. I suspect I will need rib graft too :(

NP, I have mine march 16, I had my botched rhino six months ago. Feels like years. I am also worried about the wait but I think it will be all work it. Hoping it's not too long. Good luck with your app, let me know how it goes :)
January 18, 2017
Will do Jessica! Mines late March so likewise (if yours is earlier) be good to hear how it goes, will keep my eyes peeled for your post! All the very best of luck, and try keep your hopes up... I know how it feels but just try to keep positive and keep up hope (also try not to obsess too much about it and talk about it... I made that mistake the first time around). All the best!

* I mean DO talk about it with a friendly ear, someone supportive

If you want one of the best nose doctor in the US choose Carlos Wolf ( Miami )

You look gorgeous and your nose looks completely flawless!! I can't believe this was a rib op too!
January 16, 2017
Stunning :-) so happy to see you update, seriously considering revision but so terrified so great and feel hope when I see people like you!
January 17, 2017
Hi Jessica, and Richard Davis for revision?
User Avatar
January 17, 2017
Hi pignataro, I think Davis is a great surgeon but his aesthetic is not what I'm looking for. I like Ion's and Hamilton's noses the best. Im between the two, so I'll know for sure ones I meet up Ion.
January 17, 2017
Hi Jessica , i had already a consultation with Ion , Hamilton and in february with Davis. I need tipwork , height and my bridge is to thin it have to be straighten

What did you think about Dr. Ion? what did he say? had Skype consultation with Hamilton. He is great! When are you planning on having surgery. I need I full reconstruction. I was left with a scooped out bridge and a tiny tip. My tip was boxy and now is so small and ugly. Hoping to get as close as possible to my born nose.

Thanks for posting frontal pics..you have pretty refined results already. Is it contouring or natural ? Either way great results
March 12, 2016
Cannot believe there is rib in there... Your nose and you, look fantastic. Did you have rib grafted near where the upper lip and base of the nose meet? Or just the tip? Has it changed your smile in anyway? That is clearly an excellent rib rhinoplasty. Pretty and refined, you must be thrilled x

Wow, love this rhinoplasty result! Where is the small indent you mentioned? I couldn't spot it at all, it looks flawless :)
March 12, 2016
I'm considering rib graft for revision, I've been so depressed for months but need to wait a year for revision. I want to raise the bridge back up and want a small dorsal hump, considering rib graft. How does it feel in your nose? I can't see don't dents in your nose??
