2nd Revision Rhinoplasty, Really Struggling :-( - Nottingham, MD

UPDATED FROM heledd1980

Been to see a top uk revision specialist. It’s bad news

$7,879
So today I had a consultation with Julian Rowe-Jones from the Nose Clinic.
It was an epic journey; we had to set off at 5:30am with my 20mth old tagging along. Mr Rowe-Jones is a lovely guy, very compassionate and kind.Despite a very thorough assessment he feels that further surgery isn’t recommended. The damage sustained during the last procedure means he wouldn’t be prepared to operate on me as potentially the outcome too risky. Could be left with worse than I have. Disappointed doesn’t begin to cover it. He has suggested I contact the scars clinic in Harley street with the photos he’s taken to see if there’s anything they could do to improve the appearance.
Feeling pretty crushed.
But at least he has the integrity to say no rather than just have a go at it ????

Please don´t go to Ion. I was there for reconstruct my pinched nose. Now I have even smaller nose than my 10 years old daughter. How I supposed to breathe now. He totally botched me. Go to Hilinski in US.

Hi yes I asked my solicitor about this and he strongly advised against any “naming and shaming” as there’s a risk he could counter sue for character defamation
August 24, 2018
Has Dr Ion seen you ?
I know a Dr. in the USA that can help you . If you are interested you can pm me .

I’m really sorry about your situation :( it’s good he was honest with you though. I hope everything works out!!! Wishing you well and good luck.

My heart is broken :( please dont give up! Go to consultations with reconstructive surgeouns and see what they say. I looked at ur pre op pics and thought ur nose was beautiful. We saw flaws in ourself that were not there in the first place. The mind is powerful sadly

So Lucian ion is still on my top spot (haven’t made an appointment as yet), will find out if he’s still offering revisions when I have the funds lol.
Been seeing a lot of positive posts about sultan hassans work.... is he based in London only? Thanks [RS bleep]

All the best to you. You have gone through a lot and you deserve to be happy.

I have been reading your story and I totally empathise with you. I had a nose job in a London clinic 24 years ago and the surgeon messed it up. My nose is bent to one side and the tip bends to the other side. I also have a drooping columella with scar tissue showing. Under the tip where he ad cut open, I have a raised, obvious scar for all to see! One profile side has an upturned tip and the other is a quite droopy. My nose is awful! Looking at your nose, it's actually not bad compared to mine. Your nose is straight at least. The only thing I can see but I'm really looking for it, is the slight pinch on one side and the scar underneath. However, your front view and profile view is attractive overall. I do understand why you want a revision of course and hope you manage to see Ion soon. I am seriously thinking of going to see Ion now as I'm hearing he seems to be the revision nose job God! I so hope he is! I am also looking at a guy called Julian Rowe-Jones based in London at the Nose Clinic. He seems to have great credentials and only specialises in nose jobs. I am based in Glasgow so will need to make a special effort to go to London but would make sense for me to arrange two consultations at the same time and then work out which guy is the best for me, either Ion or Rowe-Jones. If anyone has any experience of either please advise, thanks.

Please, please look at professor James Frame. He is Essex based but one of the best surgeons around. He not only practices but teaches plastic surgery to up and coming surgeons. He is a renowned professor and board certified surgeon. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. He fixes many other surgeons mistakes! Best of luck x

My heart aches for you when I see this. I feel your pain because I too was badly botched by Dr Frankel in Beverly Hills. Ion is fabulous.

Finally.... light at the end of an almost 3 year tunnel

heledd1980
So even though it’s less than my solicitor evaluated my compensation claim; we have finally settled and the money will be in my account by the end of April. I have to say, anyone needing compassionate, professional legal representation talk to Michael Saul at TJL. He and his team have looked after me so well these past few years and despite discovering my surgeon had no insurance, he’s managed to get a decent figure off him. It’s not comparable to a lottery win don’t get me wrong; it covers all expenses, insurances, expert assessments and obviously the no win no fee portion. It still leaves me a respectable amount to finally seek reconstruction.
With that in mind..... please let me know who’s the “go to” guy for revision rhinoplasty these days? Heard lucian ion is no longer taking on revisions and he was who I’d hoped to fix me. I’m back to the drawing board on finding a surgeon so I’d be grateful for all your suggestions please.
