Successful 5th Revision Rhinoplasty

WORTH IT
I am 9 months post op from a 5th revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Imola and I couldn’t be happier. He honestly gave me my life back and I am forever grateful. I had a combined 4 previous surgeries with two different doctors. The first 3 were minor tipplasties and the 4th was a major one that went really wrong. I was left with a wide/flat and droopy looking nose that I couldn’t breath out of and the cartilage was so deformed that I kept getting infections. Living with this mistake consumed my life and made me miss out on so many great moments. Rhinoplasty is the most complicated cosmetic procedure, especially revisions, and while I knew it’d be a huge risk, I just wanted my life back. I did hours of research trying to find someone to help, and after consulting with 6 doctors all over the country, I decided on Dr. Imola. I met with him multiple times because I was so nervous but he was so accommodating and understanding.
He was a lot different than other doctors in that I feel like he under promises but over-delivers. I did not expect a perfect nose and was just looking for some improvement but he gave me more than I could have ever hoped for. The surgery was long but he takes the time to get things right. He used my own rib graft and fascia to rebuild and resupport my nose. Not only can I breathe better than before but it also looks amazing. My family and friends cannot believe what a good job he did considering what he had to work with. Everyone at the office is amazing as well. Lisa was always more than accommodating to all my questions and would always check up on me.
While I wish I really understood the risks before I had any surgery so I made better choices the first time around, I am truly grateful to Dr. Imola for the work he did. He doesn’t really advertise and isn’t a fan of social media (which I think speaks a lot to his good character) but he is very talented and skilled at what he does.

Your nose looks perfect. Did you find that the rib makes your nose stiff? Was the facia used to prevent the rib from showing under your skin? Do you mind me asking what he charged for the revision? You must be thrilled that you no longer have to worry about getting your nose fixed.

Sorry I don't get on here very much anymore. The nose is definitely stiffer with the rib but I don't notice or mind it. It feels very stable which it didn't before. The fascia was used to smooth out any imperfections that were either there before or with the rib. I know the cost can be very different for each person but if you have breathing issues like I did, he does accept insurance. I'd say it might be $12k-18k for a revision.
