WORTH IT$21,000
This was my second revision and I needed it to be my last. It took me 3 years to decide on a doctor who I thought was worth the risk. The main selling point for me was the photos on Dr. Glasgold's website (and so I'll provide my own here). I was concerned with tip work, but I liked that he noticed every little detail that could be corrected - things other surgeons hadn't mentioned. He was also the only surgeon I met with who brought up using ear cartilage (instead of rib). I've since read ear cartilage is great for tip work, very malleable. I have a minor scar that's mostly faded on my inner ear; it's barely noticeable, but I wouldn't even mind if it was more prominent because my nose looks better than I ever hoped.
The hospital is standard, nothing fancy. I prefer being in a hospital to a private office surgical room, just in case of emergency.
After surgery I had a small bump on one side of the tip (you might notice in the photo). I originally thought it was cartilage, but Dr. G confirmed it was scar tissue (so not something he could have controlled). He gave me an injection and I wasn't expecting much, but the bump disappeared completely for a few months and is now smaller. I will probably get another, but I'm so happy no matter what. For the first time in my life I don't hate my nose. I'm no longer constantly worried about what other people are thinking when they look at me. It's a huge relief and I'm so grateful.

Hi there! How has the healing been 2yrs post op? I am considering RGlasgold for my revision and would love to know your experience as everything has healed. Do you have any additional photos you can share?
Thanks for sharing your experience! How long did it take for the bump to go away?
