Tiplyft
Honestly, I am so blown away by this doctor and his approach to liquid rhinoplasty. I had an original rhinoplasty in 1997. It looked great, but after a few years, the tip started to change. I went back to my same doctor, who told me it was an easy (surgical) fix. At the time, I didn't realize that a tip revision is basically a second rhinoplasty and that creating more scar tissue could cause problems. The tip revision did not turn out well. It was fine, I was not deformed, but I was embarrassed that I had essentially had two nose jobs and my nose looked meh. Over the years, I had some filler injected into the tip, which helped the appearance a little bit, but twice I had complications from nose filler. Injecting into the nose is actually extremely risky. And my complications were extremely serious (once i got a very bad infection). I had pretty much given up on my nose (thought about potentially having another surgery, but at this point, I didn't want to risk another mediocre or worse outcome). Over the years, I even met with several surgeons...two told me it wouldn't be worth doing (any improvement would be minor, and the risk for making it worse is strong).
So fast forward to this year, I found Dr Yu and his tiplyft procedure (probably on Instagram? I'm sure the algorithm spotted me looking at revision rhinoplasty). What stood out to me was his acknowledgement of the risks involved in injecting in the nose. And because of these risks, he injects in a different place in the nose that is not as vascular and therefore reduces the risk almost entirely. (If anyone is going to be the one to have an issue, it would be me). I decided to see him for a consultation and see if he thought I would be a good candidate - I honestly wasnt sure if he would turn me away. But he was confident that I wouldn't have an issue (I had him write me a prescription for antibiotics just in case, as I live an hour away). Well, not only did I not have an issue, but my nose looks dramatically improved. I can't stop looking at it. I'm honestly amazed. I may have to go back for a little more in a few weeks/months when it's all settled, but honestly, this is a game changer. This man knows what he is doing. Not only from an anatomical sense, but aesthetically as well. He is an excellent doctor. I only wish I had known about him/gone to see him sooner!
Additionally, his nurses and staff are completely lovely. The procedure isn't painless - it's still needles in your face - but the nurse that assisted did a wonderful job of keeping me calm and distracted. It was over quickly and the results were immediate. I'm honestly thrilled with the whole experience.
