Best rhinoplasty surgeon in the world

WORTH IT$10,000
I never noticed that my nose was large until about 10 years ago when somebody commented on it. And as I got older I became more self conscious of it. So on a trip to Vietnam I decided to go the cheap route and get rhinoplasty there. I found JW Korean plastic surgery. The doctor told me he would make it narrower and smaller. It was what i wanted to hear. He signed me up for what they call an S line rhinoplasty. I should have known there would be problems because the day of surgery I felt like a sardine on a line up. They wheeled me in with another girl at the same time. I woke up from surgery to find my ear bandaged up and when I looked in the mirror I saw this long point at the tip of my nose. I started screaming. I felt like I had been deformed. They had added cartilage from my ear onto my nose without telling me. That was their standard procedure over there and I had unknowingly got it. When they took the cast off a few days after I looked awful, I didn't even want to return home to my family. I fell into depression and was a total emotional mess for the next few months. I felt like I had paid to mutilate myself.
Fast forward to a year later and I had been researching and trying to find a surgeon to fix the pointy thing on my face. The plastic surgeons here in Australia were quoting me 20,000. I felt it was exorbitant especially that some of them had mixed reviews and i wasn't prepared to pay 20k and take a chance. I really needed this to be my last surgery. I was prepared to go anywhere. Luckily I found a surgeon in Italy Armando Boccieri. I really liked his website and I got in touch with him. Things fell into place and I booked my flights and headed off to Rome a month later. It was a surreal experience. I always wanted to see Italy and the possibility of getting my face back was very exciting. I met with the doctor an hour after I landed. He was fantastic; warm and knew exactly what he was talking about and what was possible with my nose. It was the exact opposite of my first rhinoplasty. I felt cared for and that I was in good hands. When I came out I had one look at myself and I knew the nightmare was over. It was such a liberating feeling. When he took my cast off a week later I was thrilled. I felt like I had a new lease on life. Doctor Boccieri took a big mess and he made it into a beautiful nose that feels like second nature to me. I am so grateful to him and to his staff. He is genuine, caring and very talented and extremely competent. I travelled across the world to see him and he was easily worth all the effort. I will try to add some pics soon.

Can I ask what the cost of the revision was with him? I have a botched nose job as well and I’m completely mortified. Totally prepared to fly half way across the world ( I’m in Canada), to find someone who is actually amazing at rhinoplasties, instead of just saying it and delivering a nose that looks like a damn yam on my face.
