WORTH IT
I had a crooked, dented, upturned, overly scooped, unnatural looking nose from my first rhinoplasty with another Doctor. Dr. Imola and Dr. Kay were able able to fix my issues and give me a normal, STraight, nose that fits my face. I don’t feel self conscious anymore and I’m so happy I went through with the revision. I met with Dr. Imola 3 times over 2yrs before I decided to go through with it and I honestly wish I just would’ve went through with it sooner.

First pic is the before and then the after at 3months. I am really swollen still but I’m really happy with the shape and how my dented side looks now. Dr imola said he could get my nose about 50% straighter but I think he got it 100% straight. I love how natural and normal I look now. I forgot to mention that I had a retracted columella and dr imola was able to bring that down and it looks so much better too. My lip and nose distance were so long before and it really bothered me but now I think it looks proportionate. He had to use my rib, fat from my stomache and fascia from my head for the surgery and it took 8hrs but it was because I pretty much had a hole filled with goretex on the dented side and it had to be completely removed in layers and then built back up.

Congratulations on your results! Your surgery sounds like it was very complex. What did he do with the fat that was taken from your stomach? Was that also used on your nose?

Yes it was used in my nose only, he said it was for the prp growth factors since I had issues with the goretex and he had to fill in a deep dented area. His office saves the fat now to use later if you want your lips or under eye area filled in at an in office procedure. They didn’t didn’t start doing that til after my surgery but I would’ve had him fill in my undereye creases if he would’ve!

I seen a post where you and another person were planning a revision by opposite doctors and you ended up choosing dr imola instead. I see that was a good choice and im happy for you. I am also seeking a revision after having surgery by dr shah and reviews like this help me more than you can imagine so thank you for sharing

Just wanted to update with some pics. I still deal with swelling but this past month has been a lot less but still fluctuates. I knew revisionswelling was going to be hard to deal with but geez I’m ready for it to end! I’m still happy with my results. I asked for no scoop to my nose because I hated it so much from my primary and wanted more of my original nose look back
