I've wanted to write a review for so long. But I'm back in the middle of life, so I don't have much time. But it is important to me, to help others, which are in a desparate situation- Like I was in for three years of my life. The surgery with Ion is now two years ago( bit more).
I am from germany, next to Stuttgart, where a very known surgeon destroyed my nose, my whole face after an accident with a pupil, who jumped right into my face and my nose. I was 50 years old, mother of two and happy. After surgery my face was significantly changed, basically my nose and it’s features were deleted. Once fine and upturned, it was now broad and amorphous. I could no longer breathe and after a few months I could no longer work (school management), I needed a psychotherapist to be able to get through every day. Along the way I learned that I was not alone in this situation. It is a highly traumatic experience to no longer recognize your face. My husband was helpless, most of friends too. My children suffered bc. i was not the same. When no one in Germany was willing or able to restore my face, and I was traveling all over Europe unsuccessfully to find a nose expert, I found out about Lucian Ion in London. He already helped another victim of this Prof. G in Germany. So I started to improve my English and set off. My daughter and I decided to go with him straight away because he was so lovable and personable. I also knew many results and patients. I had done a lot of research. A lot!
I had all the terribly pointless techniques on my nose. Tongue-in-Groove as just one example. But he did it! And how he did it!
I.want to let pictures speak for themselves. I want to say to all of you: please never give up! Life is too beautiful for an untalented nose surgeon to destroy! Lucian Ion gave me back the life I thought I had lost. Thank you dear Lucian Ion. And for you all the best in the New Year and forever! Thank you!

Your nose looks beautiful now!! I love how he did your mid vault and supratip break. It is just beautiful. I would not go to Stuttgart anymore for various I discovered after I consulted with Haack...

hi there, I was considering Haack for a revision and your comment kinda made me scared. Why wouldn't you recommend Haack?

Bc I know his behaviour and noses.
Awful in every way.

Thank you.After Stuttgart my supra tip break was gone. I had a potato dysfunctional nose.
Now, every time I run my finger over it, I am amazed. It's the same as it used to be. Exactly like that.

Addendum: unfortunately the photos are mixed up. Please read, I have always written something about it. I posted photos before the broken nose, after the break (slightly changed), surgery in Stuttgart (severely changed nose) and finally after surgery in London. The correct order in the menu navigation seems to be a problem. Many thanks again to LET123, Road to Revision Rhino! .Your reviews have given me strength.

After my monumental botch in Beverly HIlls, then being restored by Lucian is the most amazing feeling and being told "gosh, you are soooo pretty" having looked like a beast for a while is life altering.
