I would absolutely stay away from Walden for Rhinoplasty. My nose was left unfunctional and I have been unable to breath since the procedure in 2011. She left me with a very narrow nose and pinched tip. Not to mention it was noticeably asymmetric. When I brought up these issues to both her and Dr. Sherrell J. Aston who was her mentor they were both dismissive, claiming my nose was asymmetric to begin with and the breathing wasn't a problem. I just underwent revision septo/rhinoplasty to correct the mess which involved removing a good deal of scar tissue. I'm still only 5 days post op. Save your money for someone who specializes in noses and is an ENT.

Hello, was your new doctor able to widen and unpinch the nose? I would really appreciate pictures since I'm suffering from the same situation! Hope your healing goes well

Thanks for sharing! Did he mention what technique he used to widen the nose? I heard it is a difficult procedure. You're very beautiful by the way!

spreader grafts, adding cartilage on either side of the tip and a strut graft

Where did he get the strut grafts? Did you have enough septal? Thank you for the new pics. Looks great!

I had enough septum cartilage. The last surgeon only used a tiny bit for the tip last time. Can't wait for this insane swelling to go down a bit.

Thanks for sharing on RealSelf. The photo looks pretty, but if you can't breathe, then what good is that? I'm glad your nose is functional again!

Swapped it out for some tape until Monday. Pretty swollen. There is swelling over my bridge which looks like a bump but I'm assuming will resolve. There was a spreader graft placed on the left side. I found out there were no spreader grafts used in my initial surgery. Everything looks pretty good so far. I know not to jump to conclusions because of swelling!
