Had I known that having surgery would change my life, I wouldn’t have done it. I had a seizure 2 months after surgery undiagnosed. Now have had 5 and considered epileptic. Prior to rhinoplasty, I was fine. Now I can’t really breathe through my nose like before and the doctor didn’t even care enough to consult me post op 12 months later.

So sorry this has happened. I have been following him a few years and scheduled for surgery in a few months. I have been reading some of the poor reviews but I think this one finally changed my mind. Thank you for telling your story

10 Weeks Post Op
Supermom25August 15, 2020
Time has flew after my surgery. Today is week 10 day 2 after Rhinoplasty Surgery. I still don’t smell 100%, I have watery runny nose randomly throughout the day (annoying) and I am happy with my side profile completely. However, I wish my tip was narrowed a bit more but I understand not everything is possible with thick skin. The good thing is that when I smile my tip doesn’t drop anymore and again my profile is amazing! I plan to make a YouTube video on my journey since I consulted with 4 different doctors and all of them were different, it was so interesting I want to share.

Oh yeah I see. Your tip looked smaller in the other picture when u had more makeup on.

Is the tip expected to keep getting narrower over time (months ?) as the swelling goes down more ? Do you have follow up appointments for tip improvement?

Can you post a new pic please !! I’m wondering how the tip is coming out. This is what I want to fix the most on mines.

Hi!! You still have major swelling on your tip. It will narrow over time, but maybe not a whole lot. I would suggest you tape every night. I taped every single night for a full year. I saw major nose narrowing around month 7. Btw I had a consult with Dr G, but ended up going to another Rhinoplasty surgeon. Your side profile looks great tho!

Hii! I went to Dr Charles S Lee in Beverly Hills he's really great. He's patient and listens to all your concerns. He'll tell you what will look good and what he can and cannot do for you.

6 Weeks Post Op
Supermom25July 17, 2020
I can’t believe it’s been 6 weeks since my rhinoplasty surgery. Although my tip is still numb to touch, the swelling has decreased slowly. They tip of my nose wasn’t as slim as I expected, specifically due to my thick skin. However, I still love the results as I see the difference on the side profile and when I smile. I started sleeping normal (on my side) around week 4. I still wear the medical tape every night to reduce swelling while sleeping. I admit, my ability to smell is not 100% back yet as I smell metallic 90% of the time and 10% slight normal smell. The annoying part is what seems to be dry buggers but end up being strings that I assume come off with time eventually. Overall, I recommend this surgery to anyone that is not happy with their nose appearance. From all surgeries, this has been the least painful. Most painful was otoplasty (ear pinning). Let me know if anyone has any questions.

Looks nice. In the side by side are u using a filter ? I do see a difference in tip. Can u post a new pic ?
I suggest that you tell the surgeon that you're going to file a complaint with the state medical board. Get all of your pictures and paperwork together and do it. But first see if the doc will reimburse you for at least some money.
Good luck!
