So, after having a very bad outcome from a supposedly board certified plastic surgeon, who I later found out was not board certified at all, I started to look for help on realself. Cut to the chase, my nose looked terrible and I didn't really know who to go to to fix it or if it could be fixed and the truth was I had a bit of PTSD after the first bad outcome. After being on here and carefully talking to people I respect and after meeting with five doctors, I chose Dr. Hamilton to repair my nose. Dr. Hamilton was instantly in love with my old nose and wanted to try his best to get that look back. Moreover, he didn't try to sugarcoat things and tell me I was still attractive. He could see the issues and thought he could fix them. When I told him that most doctors I met with didn't know how to fix me, he said, to the effect of maybe they just don't want to, but that is what we go to school for. It was a relief to meet such a compassionate doctor and I instantly booked surgery with him.

A mini video update

I made a little video because to me it's easier to see the improvements on a moving face. My rims were taken out and though most of the doctors were afraid to do so, in case the rims looked strange, absolutely nothing happened. They are like they used to be and I'm so happy the weird position the nostrils were in is now a thing of the past.

Today is the big Day

So, after being miserable for almost two years and having no real idea what was wrong with my nose, I found a doctor and a solution. This surgery was no laughing matter. I was scared but Doctor Hamilton was totally calm the entire time. Even though I was so nervous, he just literally made me feel like this was not a big deal--surgeries happen every day and this one could happen too. Even after the other doctors said I was still kind of pretty and that nothing could ever be done--he took on my case with a sense of humor and a wonderful attitude. So, I am very grateful to him. Dr. Hamilton explained from looking at my other nose that he thought much of the infratip lobule and the columella had been tucked and was being held in with sutures at my domes. Additionally, I had these two giant and i mean giant grafts that had to come out as well as two rim grafts that had to be removed and to undo the sutures so my tip could get back to it's original more boxy appearance---the length had also been messed with and Doctor Hamilton wanted to add back the missing 6 mm of nose. The entire plan was to restore my previous nose. He also was the only doctor I met with who wanted to help rebuild my missing footplates. I was so grateful to him for saying that. I'm getting my cast off later, and I'm really nervous. Hope you guys are finding solutions to your dreams as well and meeting with doctors who can either get you to your aesthetic goals or help you get back to what you were before an unsatisfactory outcome.

Oh my goodness just seen your pics and watched your video! I'm so so so excited and happy for you I can already tell it's going to look amazing!! I can't wait to see the results love!
December 5, 2016
thank you babe!! hw are you holding up???
December 5, 2016
I'm doing better! Trying to not focus on it as hard as it is. Seeing and hearing about how there are doctors out there like Hamilton gives me faith that everything can be fixed or atleast get me to where I can have my confidence back. I still have a a ways to go but trying to remember this is temporary. I definitely think Hamilton will be the guy for me though. You can already see how it looks like your old nose even with the cast on <3
December 5, 2016
good job, that's what I did, i tried to focus on puppies and boys and work and art, because to focus on "it" would have driven me insane. but, truthfully, no guy had a chance when I was this miserable. i think dr. hamilton is a very good doctor and he likes larger noses, and I've seen women on here where he got them so close to what they looked like before only with improvement. he has a very good eye. so glad you are doing okay babe.
December 5, 2016
Thank you love!! So glad for you too and I can't wait to your results when you update!
December 5, 2016
thank you babe. only two more hours until this cast comes off.
January 20, 2017
can you tell me why you went t Hamilton and not Donald yoo? I need rib graft and ear cartlidge confused between hamiton, yoo and calvert what do you think?
January 20, 2017
i love both doctors. dr yoo was almost twice as much money and dr hamilton likes hanging columellas which is part of what i needed to restore. unfortunately dr hamilton didn't do that part of the procedure. but i still love both doctors.

Indeed dollfaze, in fact, in the following FAQ RealSelf Top Doctor Sam Naficy explains: "The open rhinoplasty approach is typically the approach of choice for complex primary and revision Rhinoplasty and allows for both proper diagnosis and precise correction of deformities" of course, both techniques can be performed as explained by the doctors. [Read more]

Dear Realselfers and Eva,
I want you to know that I am greatly hurt that you would promote Sam Nacify on my page, when I have personally spoken to patients who were very hurt by him doing the exact same aggressive procedures, removing the lower half of the nose, that I went through. I want everyone on here to know, I do not promote this doctor and do not want him promoted on my wall, in any way.
February 24, 2017
Good for you for speaking up, girltown. Her comment felt like an advertisement for him. Somebody who had a bad experience with him who was researching successful revisions could be hurt and discouraged to unexpectedly come across that. I avoid my home feed page here on RS because I unexpectedly came across my doctor's name, and it was stressful. I wish we could better control our home feed.

I'm so glad you found someone to help you and made you feel at such ease!!!!
