Pictures to go with the update I just did- forgot to add them. Not flattering at all!!! But just trying to give a clear view. I really don’t know if I’m happy or not. Sometimes I am sometimes I’m not.

So far Dr Ion has been lovely, he has listened to what I want and told me what he thinks would be best and I'm happy with what will be done to the nose. Hopefully it will be a great result!

Hey honey. I seen your review when you first posted about getting surgery with Ion. I believe your tip was slightly boxier before. I think Lucians biggest problem is that when he deprojects the nose he just makes the tip a bit too small-shorter and I’m not sure why. He should leave it alone on wOmen. He tucks up from the base of the nose, the columella. The nostrils change. Less visibility on profile view. Women usually feel less feminine and pretty. Tip looks more blunted & short on front as well. More pointed from the side and flat. I’m sorry you’re not crazy about your result. I hope things get better for you . <3
Thanks for the comment, I think your right. I’m going to see whether I can have a little filler to help tip look more rotated and less blunted- great way of putting it. Xx
I really like it. It’s very pretty. X
Thanks for the kind words xx
Your nose looks really feminine I think it is a lovely result x
Have you grown to like the result? I’m having a big problem with width. My nose looks deprojected a lot like yours but so wide. I hate it!

Honest update

Okay- it's been 11 months and I want to give an honest update on how i feel.
I don't know whether the surgery was worth it. Sure It's an okay nose, but I don't think its worth 9 grand. I feel like for that money I should be in love with it everyday, do you know what I mean? I still have days where I see a picture and think, oh is that it.
I think overall it is an improvement, and thank god I don't have an complications or anything health wise. But I do wish that the front wasn't so asymetrical, or that the tip didn't look so long from some angles. Like I said it's not bad but for the money I just think it should have been better. I have put on some pics just taken now, with no makeup. when I contour it it does look a lot better but I won't include those today because I want people to have a clear look.

Hey, I feel the same way about mine and I paid $17,000
Hey sorry I never got back to you, yeah it’s not the best, sorry that you paid so much& weren't thrilled. Has it improved since?

Finally an update!

Hello! Sorry I haven't updated sooner, at first I didn't like the results and I was waiting until the swelling went down so I could post a more fair review. There really is no point judging your nose in the first month!! it's only since the steroid injections on the 18december that I have liked my nose! Now I'm really happy with it. Dr Ion used the scar from my lip lift and it's really tidy. The side view looks more sloped and my nose overall looks tidier, I like it more every day and I'm definitely happy that I had the surgery. If anyone wants to know what was done:
Tip graft (cartilage taken from nose)
Graft to the bridge (cartilage taken from nose)
Graft to septum (from nose)
And cartilage trimmed, bone Shaven to make a slope on the bridge.
He didn't need to use any rib cartilage which was great!
If anyone has any questions let me know!

You look amazing it looks so good!! Thank you for sharing your review I'm having my consultation with him in February
Looks great! So glad you're happy, many deligjted Ion patients on here. I've only got 14 weeks to go now x
Oops, that was meant to say delighted
thank you :) yes I'm happy xx
Oh wow, you did it already?! It looks great! Very subtle and natural. Would love to see the front when you’re ready.
By how much was he able to lengthen it? I'd like mine lengthened too.
it was a tiny amount like seriously tiny but I don't know how much, when you go to a consultation they should be able to do a morph and measure what the difference is, if that makes sense. so you won't have to go in and say I want my nose 5mm lower, they should be able to measure it for you. x
Thank you for responding! X
congratulations, perfect result. How is your breathing, is it as before or...?
hello, thanks for the kind words :) yes my breathing is great no problems! xx
