Amazing Doctor and Surgeon
So happy I found Dr Liotta for my revision rhinoplasty surgery.
Revision surgery is an emotional roller coaster - Dr Liotta even says this! She knows.
I’d say she’s a miracle worker, but I know it’s a combination of skill, passion and artistry. She knows noses and loves them! She’s also super lovely and caring and yes, gives you her mobile number and email if you have any concerns. A rarity.
I waited 30 years (!!) to fix my botched original surgery. I was never happy with it but just felt, I did it to myself so I had to suffer it, you know? I think not helped by my family (step)’s attitude either - they were never really on board with the whole decision. Thankfully attitudes towards plastic surgery have changed a lot since then. I kinda stopped caring about my nose after a while but I disliked it even more after surgery than before!
And then, finally one day I thought, you know what? I’m going to do something about it! Why put up with something I’m not and never have been happy with? And it felt the really empowered choice.
I researched and emailed a lot of doctors, but as soon as I found Dr Liotta I knew she was the right one.
Many doctors won’t even take on revision cases because they know how complex they are. They’re basically flying blind - not just trying to give you a beautiful nose (hopefully) but to correct all the previous mistakes.
My nose was crooked, my nostrils were too exposed, one side sloped off completely (Dr L said there was NO cartilage left on that side !), my breathing was always congested - you could see one nostril squished in the photo taken below I sent her. And my profile just looked ugly to me - the one thing I wanted corrected/improved in the original surgery but was made worse. Dr Liotta said “you’ll love your profile after surgery” and she was right. I now have, what I think is, a super cute profile that suits my face completely and an elegant straight nose with smaller nostrils, no longer exposed. It suits my face and its’ proportions so much better.
What I will say - it took a year really for the swelling to go down and I still have more to go.
Because she added a little to my bridge and one side of my nose, you have to expect more swelling, than if only some taken away. Be prepared.
I was not initially prepared for this! She told me before “cast off” I would not have that big reveal moment - and that’s exactly what I was looking forward to! My nose looked huge to me when she took the cast off. I was devastated! She told me everything, how the swelling would go down etc etc but I didn’t really hear any of it. I felt like I’d made the 2nd biggest mistake of my life (1st was original surgery) - see what I mean about an emotional rollercoaster?! But I emailed her the next day - and more times after that - and each time she reassured me and I knew I just needed to be patient. I chose her for a reason and trusted she knew what she was doing. So yes I did wear a mask around for a bit! On the plane home! The extra on my bridge made my eyes look really close together (they’re not) - but that faded quickly - and my nose looked bigger and uglier (to me) than my original nose ever did. And I cried over not feeling strong and confident within myself to never have had surgery in the 1st place. And then slowly it got better. Evenings were always better than mornings. One night in the dimly lit bathroom, shadows were cast on my nose and I caught a glimpse of how my nose was going to be and I was happy. My daughter reassured me and said she could see what was swelling and what wasn’t. I took photos a little obsessively to track it all! And then I relaxed. 3 months was a milestone. 4 months even more so. The profile early on looked great so I was happy for that too. Dr Liotta gave me a photo taken of my new profile on the operating table, so I knew it was going to look even better. The tip still looked bulbous though. But I knew that was just swelling and would go down. And it did.
It seemed to race along till 6 months and then 9 months and then regress a little and improve again. Good days and not so good - with swelling.
1 year on I’m super happy. Still evenings my nose looks better than when I wake up - it’s subtle but you still notice everything. Some days it looks better than others.
I can’t wait for the 2 year point when all swelling should be completely gone and my nose always looks the same. I feel like Dr Liotta gave me the nose I was always meant to have and I’m exceedingly grateful.
If you’re at all undecided, I’d say go for it. If you had previous surgery and aren’t happy with it - life is too short, do something about it!
And if you’re in a position to choose Dr Liotta, I’d also say go for it. She’s an amazing doctor and surgeon - truly passionate about her work and giving you the best result possible. And super lovely and caring too. You hardly ever find that combination.
