Revision w/ Dr. Hamilton

I had revision surgery with Dr. Hamilton on 3/20/17. I consulted with him once in Jan, booked surgery, had a pre-op apt a week before surgery, packing removal the day after surgery, and cast removal on 3/24. My nose is still very swollen so i'm going to wait to do a more thorough review and post additional pics once the swelling goes down. My primary surgery was a little over 3 years ago. The primary Dr. cut my nose too short, removed my columella, removed cartilage from my tip, lifted my tip too high, and left a bumpy bridge. I showed Dr. Hamilton the pics I liked of my birth nose and requested that he make my nose look similar. On the morning of surgery, I brought a piece of paper that listed all of the items Dr. Hamilton and I discussed that he would fix and taped my best before picture at the bottom of the page. Dr. Hamilton reviewed the paper, made his own notes, and brought it with him during surgery. I believe this really helped remind Dr. Hamilton what we had discussed during the pre-op and ensure that we were on the same page. The recovery was not bad aside from the first night. I went back to work after one week and only had a small bruise under my left eye.

Here are a few more before and after pics. The recovery from this surgery has been so much better than the primary. The tip of my nose is still hard, but most of the swelling from the bridge seems to be gone.
