Revision Rhinoplasty.
mattenna22July 6, 2019
Please see my previous review about my primary surgery by Mr Mcdiarmid. I was so happy with my results, but has the smallest residual bump which was distracting from what would have otherwise been a perfect result. Mr mcdiarmid about the bump and kindly agreed to revise it with a small rasping in surgery. He did not charge for the revision. I am now just over three months post op and have to say I am upset that I even had it done. I understand I am early in the healing process, but I have ended up with a completely different shape nose even though I thought I was just having the bump filed down. I had my three month post op review last month and I didn’t express my concerns at that point as I thought things might improve with time and healing. I’m a month further on and I am concerned. I’m dislike my sloped (scooped) profile and I’m sure I have the start of an inverted V. I have scheduled another appointment for September to express my concerns. I still stand by my 5 star initial revise for my primary surgery and pray he will be understanding and we able to advise me what has happened.

I do know that Mr Mcdiarmid is highly talented especially in rhinoplasty so I’m not quite sure what has happened and how I’ve ended up with such a different shape when I was only meant to be having the tiny residual bump rasped down. I’m leaving my review at 5 stars at the moment as I have another consultation scheduled for early September and it wouldn’t be fair to score less until I express my concerns and see what he says.

Hiya, thanks for leaving your revision feedback. I'm going to book in for my second consultation with him soon, but I would like to hear what he says about your revision first.
I still haven't made my mind up who I'm going to go with, but as I'm in Plymouth then James McDiarmid would definitely be the easiest as closest for after care follow ups etc. Thank you

I honestly can't fault my primary, I was obviously left with a tiny residual lump which is the reason for the revision. I still much prefer my revised nose to the one I was born with but at this moment in time do wish I had just put up with the residual lump. I'm scheduled to see him again in September so will keep you posted. Thanks for commenting x

Hiya, have you had your consultation yet about the results on your secondary procedure? Was just wondering how it all went and what he said. I went to see him today and I may be booking mine in soon but I'm still very very nervous as mine is quite a difficult one as I have very thin skin and I also want tip reduction xx

It’s not your fault for wanting the bump to be rasped down - it’s your surgeon’s fault for taking down your bridge so much when that is not what you asked for. I still think your nose looks nice, but I wouldn’t second guess yourself - you’d have been happy if he had done what he was supposed to do.

Thank you for posting, it is really helpful for me as I am due to have primary rhinoplasty in October with Mr McDiarmid. I am very interested to hear the outcome of your next appointment. X

I've had my second consultation today and they have a space at Plymouth Nuffield for him to do my nose (Primary) on 9th October but I'm so nervous. I don't know whether to just go for it or not. The next one is January so I may wait till then as I need to sort a loan out to pay for it as well. What date are you having yours RubyLou? X

I’m booked in on October 9th! Also feeling a little worried/unsure. I’ve been planning to have it done for many years and have had consultations here in the UK and USA. It is a big deal because, unlike many surgeries, it cannot be hidden, and mine would be fairly complex too. I have friends who have had very successful outcomes with Mr McDiarmid, although they were other types of surgery. Please feel free to PM me x

I can't actually find how you pm
someone on here, so could you PM me first please? Ha ha thanks x

I’m seeing him again next week just to express my worries. As I’ve said previously, I was so happy with my primary surgery and am just unsure about my revision at this point. I still am much more confident than I was with my natural, untouched nose. No one can promise that you will be entirely happy even after your rhinoplasty and only you can decide if you take the plunge. I not regret it one bit and Mr Mcdiarmid had enough amazing reviews that I felt confident in going for it. Please keep me updated. I’m excited for you. X

Thanks so much!! I still haven't booked in yet. Still thinking hard about it. I really want to, but I feel like maybe I should go to see other surgeons too to see what they have to say. It's such a massive leap of faith and I'm really scared to take the leap. Let us know how you get on xx

Hiya, hope you are well. How did you get on at your recent appointment about your revision surgery outcome? Hope you don't mind me asking. Been dying to know as I'm still in two minds as to whether to go for the surgery with him or not. Thank you x

I had to reschedule my appointment as my little boy started nursery and it was right when I needed to pick him up. Going on Friday now so will keep you posted.x

I hope your appointment went well, I’d love to hear how it went if you’re happy to share. X
