I am still shocked for words at how AMAZING this surgeon is. I came to Dr Hodgkinson with a very scooped out nose ( first rhinoplasty decision due to pretty bad facial dymorphia + nose damage due to inconsiderate primary surgeon) which was in pain and i couldn’t breath too. Through my verbal explanation and the morphs I created, Dr Hodgkinson has matched it exactly and solved all the issues using a bone graft from the elbow to fix my bridge. I truly could not be happier with the results and am amazed with how Dr H has created a slight dorsal convexity and brought my bridge up. I am still in a positive shock at how beautiful the front and sides are looking even at 2 days after cast removal. The results look so similar to my natural nose (but better if i’m honest) and as the swelling goes down it just keeps looking better and better and more natural. There is no pain in my nose now, it doesn’t hurt when i breathe, the breathing is so much better, I look natural and harmonised and I hope to get more and more adjusted as the days pass. Thank you so much Dr Hodgkinson for everything- from patiently listening to my requests and queries and being so calm and kind throughout the entire process to restoring my nose and it’s function. Thank you also to the first class team; nurses, anaesthesiologist and front admin for allowing the process to be so smooth. I can’t express my gratitude enough, the result is what i prayed for and more than a surgeon Dr Hodgkinson is a good soul.

I had revision with cartilage to build my dorsum and wasnt satisfied at how insignificant it looks and looks still small.
I asked the surgeon for bone and he said it was impossible.
Do you think I can use this method to increase my radix projection back?
