WORTH IT
I wanted to share here my update. It is only being one week, however after a week of panicking ( swelling makes you panic ALWAYS. ) very quickly it is settling and I’m very happy so far.
I went to see Niall yesterday, and everything is healing nicely.
The difference is minimal but very noticeable for myself in a positive way, if I was happy before, now I’m super happy. Hope it does not change much in the following weeks...
I will recommend Niall to anyone!

Hi everyone,
I would like to share with you my experience, since your reviews had been very helpful for me.
I had a first rhinoplasty with Kirkpatrick a year ago now, and my experience with him has been excellent.
I’m not going to lie, after cast removal my first reaction wasn’t positive, I was shocked. I always been pretty confident with my overall look, even if I wanted to polish a bit my nose, so when I saw my nose for the first time it was a bit difficult. To see yourself different, swollen, etc. It is not fun, also you get a bit obsessed, every day looks different to you, etc. However after few months, I started to appreciate my new very subtle change.
I went to Kirkpatrick because a friend of mine worked with him in theatre, and she told me he was the most gentle and meticulous doctor she had ever work with. And after meeting him, I just had a good feeling so I went for it.
I had extra consultations with him, because I had so many questions and doubts, and he never charge me any extra for that. Also what I liked was that he was 0 pushing. Actually after I went to see another doctor that wanted to change EVERYTHING in my face, is when I said ( Kirkpatrick is the one).
Now we are thinking of making a little rerouch and elevate a bit more the columnela ( however is something I’m still considering) it is a very small procedure, and I am thinking about it. I’m happy with the overall look, also the functionality of the nose is exactly the same as before, didn’t feel any difference at all. So I have to think about it properly.
What I have done is a bit of polish in the bridge ( He didnt have to brake the bone) and refinement of tip + small tip Elevation.
I hope this is helpful !

Hey, glad to hear you had a good outcome, congrats! Can I ask more about the small procedure you mention for raising the columella? (I.e. what has the surgeon said that would entail, would it be just under local anaesthetic or would he have to open up your nose again?). Reason for asking, I have just had revision rhinoplasty and I am worried about the columella too. Thanks, any thoughts / help would be much appreciated.

Thank you! So yes, it will be under general anesthesia, however he will not open the nose again pheww. It only will address the columela, by cutting from the inside and rising it slightly. The orientation and rest of the nose will stay as it is. I will let you know more when it is done! Did you have revision with Niall also?
I was opposite!!!
