The tip is looking more bulbous. Looks like I’m gonna have another revision. Really regret doing it with Dr Don Yoo. It was a waste of money and time.

I am sorry. I think the height of your nasal tip would have been fine if the base of the nasion region (the area between the eyes) was lower. Dr. Yoo tends to make it really high in the area between the eyes, so the nose looks highly artificial and unnaturally Asian-looking.

Thank you for your comment. It does look so high and wide between my eyes. I don't look very Asian anymore. I look more of Eurasian now. Asian people think I'm a Spanish woman

I'm sorry this happened, thankfully it doesn't appear there are any huge irregularities with the nose! It's not what you wanted, but honestly it could be a much worse situation (like mine). I'm really surprised by how much your nose changed 2 years post!!!! It's a completely different nose. Have you spoken to the Dr. regarding this at all? He should at least see you free of charge to explain why it happened.

i don't have the same opinion as the previous comments.. your nose looks fine, beautiful, and the most important, natural, the droping make your nose more realistic, i can't understand how you liked your 1 month results, it was like you had an accident and the columella was cut off.. be happy with what you have i don't recommend doing 3rd revision the more you do, the most it become dangerous.. your nose is beautiful and natural are you seeking the pig looking nose?

Please go see dr Ben Swartout! He redid mine and it is fabulous! Dr Kanodia waited many years to find someone he thought was the best at revisions. Kanodia didn’t do mine but I used him for Botox and he noticed how bad mine looked. He only does first timers. He refers all secondary’s who come to see him to dr Ben Swartout who is fabulous and he makes it easy. No packing either.

Just so you know. Dr Swartout made mine project more not less. I think yours needs the same if you choose to do something.

It is strange that the nose looks perfect before, and then the tip just looks as if it was being shaven off a bit. The nose still looks great though, not perfect, but for a revision, i think it is as good as it an get. Chance of asymmetry is very high in a revision because of scars from the previous surgeries.

The nose before is way better than the current revision. The bridge looks wider making me look more masculine than felminine

Hi Kdaley! I’ve been following your posts as I’ve been considering revision rhino with Dr Yoo too (previous rhinos from S. Korea). I know you don’t like your nose but I think you look beautiful. Maybe you had a nice nose to start with. Would it be too much to ask for before pictures? The ones you posted are hard to compare with current.

Hello, sorry for the late reply. Do you have an email address where I can send my before pictures?
August 18, 2020
The pics look great. Did you do anything differently since Dr Yoo's rhinoplasty on you? because if not, it looks good to me

The bridge is dropping more. It’s not looking that good. The first 8 months was ok back then. But a lot of my friends told me it looked like it had expired already.

Oh no :( so sorry to hear that. Thank goodness you have a pretty face. Do you feel it’s still changing quite drastically as the months go by? Also, what does dcf feel like? Is it softer to the touch than an implant? I’m currently looking to get a revision done and I’m terrified!!!
User Avatar

The dcf feels softer but in my situation, I cane wear my eye shades the Long. It leaves a mark on both sides of my Bose bridge. It's not looking better as day passes by. Don't go for Dr Don Yoo. You will just waste your time and money

Sorry about the typo error error. I don't know how to revise it

How different would your nose have been if you followed Dr. Yoo’s suggestion of increasing the bridge to another 2-3mm? Would it have given you the nose you were hoping for? I ask because I am looking for a surgeon for my primary rhinoplasty and am considering consultation with Dr. Yoo.
User Avatar

In my honest opinion, it will make me look like a lady boy or transvestite if I followed his advice is 2-3mm. The width is wider than my primary rhinoplasty. The length is Longer than befor.e. So if it was higher then I would look like a Transgender . Ha! Ha! I would not highly recommend Dr Yoo:) I think you need to spend more time Searching for the best and credible.

How long ago was your 2nd rhinoplasty? Revisions are quite hit and miss. I've got 2 revisions and both failures. This nose that Dr Don yoo gave to me, made me look older too. And it's looking so longer like a witch now. Ha! Ha! Please take your time and don't rush.

Well I’m only 2 months post surgery I know I need to wait but I have some days were I do semi like it and other when I cried and can’t stand it plus I look at my chest scar and I feel so terribly ugly even tho the scar is red mine is very small and I’m hoping fades away soon I bought a punch of silicone gels . I’m trying to post a new pic of my nose here but I don’t know how

Hello mia82,
Besides using silicone for your chest scar, have you considered microneedling? All businesses are closed now due to the pandemic, but you can buy one on e-Bay and DIY. That is what I did for my surgical scars. Microneedling is like a meat tenderizer, it helps to flatten the scar and reduce the appearance of it. However, do talk to your doctor though. I am adventurous and went on YouTube for instructions. But that is just me though. Best of luck. Thank you much and have a great day.

Hi , how old is your scar if you don’t mind me asking ? Also my scar is still very red color which I’m assuming still healing , I’m only 3 months post surgery And I’m an esthetician I don’t think using microneddlkng right now would help me , my scar feels flat to the touch my issue is the redness ugh , I’m planing on using laser on it

My scar is about 2 plus years old now. It looks really bad. It's like it looks infected but not really. And my rib area still hurts from time to time . Do you feel the pain from time to time. I'm planning to have my scar lasered after the lockdown
May 3, 2020
Dear mia82,
Since you're an esthetician, you have a lot of tools at your disposal. Perhaps try an ablative laser, such as fraxel. It has significant down time, but your scar is on your torso anyway and no one will see it.

I am a Fitzpatrick III or IV. My scars are about a year old now and still red. I read on the Internet that scars will be at their final state at 2 or more years. I tried IPL and Laser Genesis, both at least 6 times, and they do not do much. Thanks.

Hi hun , I’m a bit tan as well , more like on the lighter side but I’ve been using kelo gel and it has helped me my scar still red but not as bright red and is so close to my crease near my breast implants so when I’m standing you can’t see it only when I lay flat , which is super annoying , I’m planning on getting a 3rd rhinoplasty tho I’m so unhappy with the results
