I have had 2 bad rhinoplasties over the last 3 years.
I will have my 3 -and i hope that this will be the last one- with Dr. Slupchynskj. My nose needs an implant. I am really, really scared and nervous, but i know that Dr. S. is a very talented surgeon.
Could anyone share his experience regarding an implant in the nose?

Best,
Natalie

Thank you for starting your story! What kind of implant with Dr. S. be placing? 

I hope you'll keep us posted and that the third time is the charm for you!

Thank you! I hope so...
Dr. S will raise my bridge using a silicone implant. He will also straighten the nose, refine the tip and narrow the nostrils.
I will keep posting:-)

I have been researching this doctor for a revisio surgery. I have an appointment on Friday 22nd, I'm also very nervous. I wish you lots of luck, keep us posted

Hi,

i understand you. The botched surgeries left me not only physically extremely scared but emotionally as well. I really, really hope that the third surgery will be the final one. It must be.
Wish you luck!:-)

Hey Natalie,
I hope all is well with you. Can u please post an update with pics?! I think we would all like to hear how things are going for U. Especially since you flew to the USA from Europe to have your 3rd rhino. That's a big deal and I'm interested in your story.
Thanks a lot.

Hi there,

I will keep you all posted. I promise.
Please give me some more time.

One thing I can say: with the implant in the bridge the nose looks very, very long:-(
February 23, 2016
I feel the same way. My surgeon used my own bone instead of an implant. It was very long but now (6 1/2 weeks later) it has settled down and looks much better. I was looking like an alien or reptile before. I've heard of some ppl having the implant removed because they couldn't get use to the long look. I was sad about it too and I was going to have a revision but my doctor said it will go down even more and he said I need to relax because I can't get a revision for a year.
UPDATED FROM NatalieS.

What a disapponiting and traumatizing experience!!!

I have contacted an american lawyer. I will travel with my boss, also a lawyer, to see him in may. I will not let things like this.
May 12, 2016
Can you update us on what happened?
May 13, 2016
I am sorry for the waiting for an update.
I need some more days to write all my dissapointing experience down.
I now can only tell you that Dr. S. did a very poor job. He charged me for a complicated revision rhinoplasty and he didnt fix the issues i had. He opened the nose, let it crooked, let my septum deviated without straightening it, did not broke my bone to straightening it like he said to me during the consultation, he did not removed the scar tissues, he dist fIX my ineverted v...He did nothing of that what surgeons do during a revision rhinoplasty....Only put his implant on it and some cartilage on my tip which is pushing too much through my thin skin. I also had big problems with my sew on my columella.
I wrote him he should remove the implant. He said he wont, he said i dont need a revision and if I really want one i should pay again. I said him he should give my the HALF of my money back to have the chance to go to a honest and skilled surgeon who can save my nose. He doesnt want to....Shame on you, Dr.S!!!! Should I pay again for what you should have done on the first place???????? Why did you do this to me? Why did you not work correct on me?
The computer simulation was very nice. The nose was straight...and what do i have now? The morph is a JOKE!!!

Another plastic surgeon from New York will remove my implant but he wants to make it live on TV. It is all organised. He will remove the implant and another sort of implant from other patients nose. My lawyer will also be there to discuss about the case.
It is sad what happend to me. Dr. S was my big hope and finally my trip to New York turned to a nightmare.
If he gives me my money back, I will never go to court and i will never go in TV.
But he wouldnt...so wish me luck...
August 25, 2016
I am so so so beyond sorry to hear about your experience!!! I was planning on having him do my third surgery as well. And now i'm extremely hesitant! Which other New York doctor will you be seeing? Do you mind sharing? Because I also did a consultation with Dr. S, and he said he was going to put an implant in as well.

I really hope your revision will go better!!! If you'd rather keep the new doctor's name private, please don't hesitate to message me privately.

Thank you so much. Sending good luck and good vibes over your way!! <3

He's not good with reattaching the columella or putting in comunmella strut correctly..cartlidge in the tip sucks..no one wants a rock hard nose tip
