life changing - multiple bad rhinoplasty surgeries and bad brow and s-lift

Ok. That made me laugh. Thanks

Lifechanging, I'm glad I made you laugh:) I'm so sorry you are feeling badly about your surgery. Please visit Dr.Reed. He is a TOP cosmetic surgeon. He has worked on many top models and actors. He's such an awesome surgeon but even better a great human being. He will be totally honest with you and he will let you know if your nose can be corrected. It's worth a try, what do you have to loose? I don't work for him and gain nothing suggesting him accept that I've seen his work and had work done by him as well. He does a fantastic job! Also, he's an older gentlemen who knows everything there is to know regarding cosmetics. Please consider visiting him. His full name is Lawrence Reed and his office is in Manhatten.

@danee73: does he do revision rhino? He has a lot of bd reviews...

Iris, I am genuinely surprised he has bad reviews. I don't know how well he could do a revision but I've seen his work and it was fantastic. Cosmetic surgery is a risk and revision surgery must be a bigger one but I think he's worth a visit. Hear what he has to say. It's worth a try. Be honest with him regarding your expectations and concerns. I'm sure he will be honest with you and try his best to address all of your concerns. He is patient and willing to answer all of his patients questions. Plus he is extremely knowledgable, I don't believe he would mislead you.

Thanks

This is wrong. Bad advice. It is blood vessel damage to the nasal skin envelope.

He used cartilage from inside my nose. The last surgery was 2 years ago. He said he detonated my nose but there isn't much difference. I'm not sure the circulation will ever improve.

I suppose I can see that. I didn't know. What else is a patient supposed to do if their nose has been shortened? Serious question--what if she took out the grafts put in her nose? Do you feel ear cartilage conducts blood better than septal cartilage? My tip was softer and healed better. I'm 3 months post op, and feel like a fool--the septal cartilage is hard. I had no idea what I was letting be put inside my nose.

Sorry about that, you're right. I should not have said "blood supply"==but "length".

Septal cartilage is the ideal grafting material. You are correct in that ear grafts should generally feel softer in the nose, however ear grafts lack structural support and have a tendency to warp and resorb. Septal cartilage should not have any problem finding a vascular supply in the nose, however I do not personally think the grafts used in her nose are a problem. Of course, any grafting material can be overused, resulting in an uncomfortable feeling as well as perhaps some vascularity issues if it is putting too much pressure on the nasal skin envelope, but the skin is relatively adaptive and this should be uncommon. Irsi, I do not wish to insult you but you really need to do more research on the physiology of the nose and the techniques used in structural grafting as well as the surgical techniques used in exciting changes to the nasal pyramid. You are correct in some of the things you are saying, but your general understanding of the nose is flawed. In general a good revision result will sacrifice flexibility and softness for contour and nasal patency. It is the nature of grafting. It will improve over time, but you need to be realistic in your expectations. Lifechanging's nose is blue because Dr. Jacono enticed her into too many surgeries without recognizing the potential, and indeed the probable outcome that her skin envelope would suffer with such little time in between revisions.

Actually he used cartilage from inside my ear-typo. Yes revisionhatemylife is correct I had too many surgeries in a short period of time. He encouraged me too particularly in the last surgery. He never mentioned any of the risks and I did not educate myself enough. I thought he had my best interest in mind but he was only concerned about himself-potential complaint or legal action. He is only concerned about himself. I hope anyone who goes to him understands that.

I've heard of him and I may go to him this year to fix my brow. Thanks for the recommendation.

He fixed a chin implant that was put in by a Long Island p.s. His recovery are tough ! I was a mess for over a month but his work is beautiful and natural.

I wish you the best and hope you get great results second time around . I think it's a crime Drs get away with obviously hurting patient s and we have no recourse just heart ache and lost $

Thanks. A doctor told me they were strut grafts and not spreader. He was supposed to lengthen my nose and not make it wider but whatever he did made my nose look shorter and wider. I don't think he knows what he's doing so I don't think there was any logic behind what he did or does.

I'd hate to think this was purposeful but it could be. A couple of other women he has ruined the faces of, have said the same thing. Perhaps it is true or perhaps he is just incompetent. Both are reasons to stay away from him.

Thanks
