Third revision (minor)

Hi guys.
So I had another operation with dr alpaslan. It had been 1 year and 6 months since my first revision with him and I am really pleased with the result however there was minor things I wanted fixing. The scar (that tahery had messed up so bad) was still showing. It hung down and it was like a bubble where it had been badly stitched by tahery. And also the nose had dropped abit and the cartilage in the tip was not 100% even. Dr agreed to do these minor changes for me. And only charged me the hospital stay and fees (500euro). He also offered to shave my bone abit more to make it more curved but I just didn’t want to go through it all again and with this minor op i was told I wouldn’t have any swelling or bruising.
When dr alpaslan opened up my nose it was worse than he thought. He said I had lots of scar tissue due to my botched job by tahery. He said that he cut all the scar tissue out but now I have to wear a nostril retainer every night which me gave to me (free of charge) and hopefully this will help the scar tissue not to come back.
This dr is amazing I can not recommend him enough. He literally saved my life and is an amazing person. He will do anything for his patients and it’s not all about money! He goes out of his way and his after care is incredible. Can not believe I ever went with tahery in the first place he doesn’t even come close to this dr in every way. I hope tahery is never able to work again!

Hi I have been receiving many messages for updates of my revision. I’m nearly one year now and I am just starting to gain my confidence back. Happy with results. Ofcorse not perfect after the mess I was left with but it’s so much better! And my breathing is good again... and I am so happy that tahery can no longer work as a plastic surgeon :)

Your nose looks amazing. It’s incredible Yildirim was able to create with some of your ear cartilage. Your success story after such a terrible primary gives me so much hope that I too can have a normal functioning nose again and so much joy to hear you are regaining your old self back. Congratulations and thanks for updating!

I just logged on and saw this difficult journey. Before any surgery at all the nose looked excellent to me, but no doubt we all have a desire to improve. After getting the revision, it is stunningly beautiful. Congrats on persevering.

so sorry for everything you went through but I'm so happy you were able to find some one to make it right. I can only imagine the mental and emotional nightmare you went through. I hope your nose is and will be beautiful always.

What Venus said....I am so happy the nightmare is over for you! You're new nose is beautiful

How is your nose setting in now? I had a revision at Nuffield Windsor and regret it as well just I don't want to make another mistake by getting a 3rd op

Its good.. my doctor really is talented !! I still can't believe how he did it.. obviously it will still always have irregularity because of taherys botched job! But he's done a really good job regardless

How are you doing with your revision recovery? I hope everything is healing nicely.

I'm happy for you. I'm considering taking a family vacation to see your revision surgeon. I figure if he can work the miracle on your nose perhaps my result would be a positive one too. Thank you for posting your experience with Tahery and for updating on your revision and sharing the wealth of knowledge.

I should add that for he past five years I have been very eager to see Istanbul.
April 22, 2017
Do you need revision or primary ? Istanbul is very beautiful I took my mum with me and we made a little holiday out of it.. it's also very cheap... I trust that your in good hands with my surgeon x

I need a revision. I'm 2 months from the year mark. While my surgeons behavior is similar to yours and mymoutcome is similar the details of what is wrong with my nose differ. I have a collapsed valve in the right. Grafts that were not placed correctly so I have a hard pea like thing visible under the skin on my tip which distorts the nostrils shape and closes it off. My surgeon also left my bridge area with jagged bone rising and falling all over the place from a horrid job rasping. While our noses differ in what is cosmetically wrong I figure if your revisionist can fix yours it's worth a shot to inquire about mine.
While I'm terribly sorry that your initial rhinoplasty resulted in such a poor outcome I have appr coated you detailing your experience here. I have been able to relate to your story and emotionally your handling of the situation. I've made the decision to seek another surgeon it's been tough blindly trusting a surgeon's words at face value. Your sharing of your revision outcome is helpful in so many ways. Thank you.

Smart phones and tablets are not so smart after all. It should say *I have appreciated you detailing your experience here.
April 24, 2017
Yes it's very hard to trust another surgeon again! And believe me I nearly backed out a few times and I wasn't sure I was making the right decision even moments before I went to surgery... but I thought what's my other option... stay miserable? Surely it couldn't look worse than it did? If your in the hands of a skilled enough surgeon you will be fine... my surgeon said my revision was not a difficult one and took 1 and a half hours... he said it was bad but he's done worse! Good luck and I hope you get the result you want a deserve!!xxxxx

Pur bodies all heal differently i.e. scarring and paying just the hospital fee is very fair.
