When I was 16, I had what I now call a "cookie cutter nose job" by a doctor who took no time to study my face or much more. I had a bump in my nose and the tip pointed downward some. I just wanted a cute nose. So he lopped off a lot of my nose. I thought it was cute at 16. Then by age 20 I was having chronic nose bleeds (3 hour long gushing nose bleeds) breathing problems, and headaches. I went to see Dr Wayne and right away he could tell that too much cartilage was taken out of my nose, aesthetically it didn't suit my face and I also had a large hole in my septum causing the nose bleeds and causing what was left of my nose basically to fall and cave in. He repaired everything using cartilage grafted from my ribs. He is a magician. Not only did I finally have a nose that was cute, it looked natural on me. I could breathe. No more headaches. Fast forward 5 years. Over the years, the nose he made me stayed in excellent, excellent condition, except for a very small area of cartilage on the tip. The cartilage had just shifted just slightly. He looked at it, agreed that it was a small fix and fixed it for me and that was it. This is the best nose I've had and I am certain it will last me the rest of my life. He is a miracle worker. He had a lot of problems to work with with my nose and really took the time to talk to me, study my face, know my history and make my concerns feel valid. I highly recommend him. I'd never let anyone else touch my face.

;)Sorry I don't know how to go back and edit. I meant to say " what was the size of your septal perforation?"

Did you need to lengthen your nose? Mine was overshortened.
