Revision Rhinoplasty Done RIGHT - Miami, FL

ORIGINAL POST

I came to Dr. Bustillo because I was dissatisfied...

I came to Dr. Bustillo because I was dissatisfied with the outcome of my first rhinoplasty. Although I could breathe better, the bridge of my nose was now wider and the bump that I had explicitly said I wanted gone was still there, along with some new asymmetries. It was not a textbook "bad" result, but it did not make me look more attractive, either. At my consultation, Dr. B was calming and professional from the very start, and waited to hear what I wanted to change first before giving me his opinion. (There is nothing worse than going in for one thing and coming out insecure about something else you never even noticed in the first place.) I booked my revision just days later. The night before surgery, Dr. Bustillo calls to check in and address any last minute concerns, and also calls in the evening after the procedure. It is a small gesture that really makes you feel taken care of. On the day of surgery, the team made me feel comfortable and assured me I was in good hands. Boy, were they right! 

Even with the cast on, I could already see an improvement- my nose was already more symmetrical! I never even needed the pain pills and it felt like a bad cold. When the cast came off, I watched my mother's reaction -- and it was nothing but genuine smiles and nods. Even at a mere two weeks post-op, I have gotten countless compliments from friends and family members. My result was a natural and conservative one, although it was a marked improvement from how I looked before. Dr. Bustillo's talent lies inherently in his ability to leave the "good parts" of the nose or face alone and only alter what can reasonably be improved upon. He is a highly skilled and meticulous surgeon who possesses expert judgement in the operating room, as he can identify what needs to be changed and do it in just the right amount so you don't look overdone or, in my case the first time around, underdone. This is exactly the quality that you want when going in to have work done. Additionally, the office staff is friendly and organized, and the facility is beautifully appointed. If you are in the market for facial plastic surgery, look no further than Dr. Bustillo.

I would like to see him I had revision done n my nostrils are even more assymetrical then from the first butcher job. I am thinking of flying out to consult with him?
September 28, 2014
He is very good, but also very conservative. Perhaps you could email the office a photo of what you would like revised? My guess would be that unless your nostrils are glaringly botched, he would recommend not operating. Mine are also a little assymetrical, but he said to fix them my nose would have to be wider, which I didn't want. Good luck!

Can you please post some pictures? I have a feeling the reviews for this Dr are all fake reviews posted by Bustillo's office. I had surgery with Dr Bustillo and had a horrific experience! From his bedside manner to my results. Horrible... If you can believe it when I woke up from surgery he was not there.. Just the nurse. He had left the office before I was awake. I have had surgery other times, not plastic surgery, and always the dr has been there when I am awake and conscious to tell me how everything went and to reassure me! This and many many other details have made my rhinoplasty experience with DR bustillo a real nightmare! Including my results! Absolutely mediocre and poorly performed surgery!! If you would like details and pictures please PM me. But if you are just doing research please stay away from Bustillo! Many of the reviews about him seem written by the the Dr's office or maybe isolated patients encouraged to post a review by his office! No one should suffer what I have suffered this year! Please save yourself the heart ache!! Look for someone else. I can assure you I did my homework, interviewed 8 Drs across 3 states. Took years to move forward and my nose was actually not complicated at all... Just a bump on an otherwise thin straight small nose. Today it is crooked big and with a bulbous hanging tip I never had! I never thought this was possible!! Stay Away!!!

July 24, 2015
Could you please post pictures? I want to get my revision done with him
August 14, 2015
I am sorry to hear that!!! Would you mind sharing pictures? You can message me internally. Also, you should give him a poor rating if you are unhappy.
August 17, 2015
Hi I'm getting my nose done with him soon . Can u please post some before and after pic . Thanks
August 17, 2015
This is just another person posting bad things and warning everyone, But when I try to reach out PM or on here they disappear.. Please have the common courtesy to back up what you're saying because there are really people here seriously looking into this surgeon, like me! This is a very nerve wracking process for people so if you're not here to help just put thoughts into people's heads for whatever your selfish reasons .. U , please stay away! Horrible. I hate when people do this. It's rude
August 17, 2015

Hi, please tell us how did it go? Could you please PM me?

Hi! I hope to speak with you- I had surgery 6 weeks ago with Dr. wigoda in Fort Lauderdale. And I really like him but not convinced with my outcome. Dr wigoda offered to do revision for free if after a year I was not happy but considering bustillo or Steiger
June 4, 2017
For a second opinion
June 5, 2017
Hi! Happy to PM you. Just not sure how it works. In my experience healing from Rhinoplasty takes a long long time. I had surgery almost 3 years ago and changes are still happening. 6 weeks is very early. You might not even want a revision when the time comes. ❤️
June 5, 2017
Sorry to the ones who are distraught about me not posting pictures or not PMing. I am not on this site often at all and had not checked since I had posted that.
June 5, 2017
Thank you so much! I am very hopeful that you are right- because I really don't think I can do this again!
June 6, 2017
Absolutely, you will see. The waiting game can be cruel. So try your best to not hyper focus. Believe me I know how hard that can be. And although I was far from mastering the hyper focus thing, I know that that is the way to win the waiting game. Divert your attention for surgery and let time do its thing. I found this information on a well known surgeon's website. I found it very true in my case.
When will I see the final result after rhinoplasty?
The nose will look better already as most noticeable facial swelling will resolve in 10 days to two weeks. Swelling in the upper part of the nose goes away faster. Swelling in the lower half of the nose and tip takes longer to resolve. Typically, swelling will be 80-90% resolved by 12 months, around 90% by 18-24 months, and nearly all by three years after rhinoplasty. Although it is stated in other sources that the final result will be seen in one year, it is almost never true as midnasal area and the tip continue to shrink for at least two years after surgery. Patients with thick skin tend to have more pronounced swelling.

And tip swelling makes all the difference in how you perceive your nose. I think.

You are very positive! Thank you! I pray I will not want revision surgery bu

The problem is that he left some bump on the bridge of my nose and it is noticeable. Dr wigoda said if I wanted it gone I need a revision. Other than that I don't think I was botched, but that bump is troubling
