WORTH IT$14,000
I had my revision rhino. and facelift 3 days ago - not a lot of pain just nausea and headaches. The surgery lasted 9 hours from what I was told. So, needless to say, I've been really out of it since Wed.
The 14,000 was for both surgeries by the way not just the one. I"ll post pictures later and I have been documenting the good, the bag and the ugly.

Did the $14k include the surgical/hospital fee.

Yes, I think that was the total.

You look great. I can see a difference. Wait until the swelling goes down you are going to look great. The price wasn`t bad either. I wished mine had turned out better. My daughter told me last night that she could not tell any difference in before and after.
A lots of money down the drain. I hope he can live with himself.

Dr. Godin here in Richmond. He just didn`t do a good job. I am not the only one that he did a facelift and was not satisfied He just didn`t take enough off he even said so.

Sorry! It's not cheap and to be disappointed would be very frustrating.

You look great! You already had lovely skin and your doctor's stitches were immaculate; all contributing factors for a beautiful result. Thank you for sharing.

50 YO Revision Rhinoplasty and Lower Facelift

Okay, now I'm on day 6 of this "journey" and have been documenting with photos everyday but too chicken to post yet.
I chose my surgeon after interviewing some of the "famous docs" in Manhattan and Florida. I was looking for a face-only, board certified surgeon, of course, great attention to detail and just someone I trusted and clicked with.
I have been looking at before and after photos for years and years and I think I found the right guy! (And only 20 minutes from home). Noses seem to be the absolute hardest body part to do so those before and afters had to be natural and not "over done" looking.
My first rhino. was 15 years ago and wasn't terrible looking but ended up not straight with arched nostrils, lots of issues...those of you born with beautiful little noses - so lucky!!
