6 month updates!
WORTH IT$7,399
Hey guys! Some of you guys asked for an update on my results, so here they are! This is what my nose looks like 6 months after surgery. I definitely still have swelling because whenever I decide to tape at night, I notice my nose looks a lot smaller the next morning (this is to be expected with thicker skin). I noticed that the edema on the bridge of my nose has went down a bit, yay! Still slightly noticeable at certain angles, but I'm certain it's residual swelling since when I push my skin down in that area it flattens. Anyways, hope this is helpful! :) I'm really very happy with my results.

Wonderful Experience!
Dr. Rival is amazing. It’s been about three months since my rhinoplasty, and although I have a lot more swelling that needs to go down (I have thicker skin) I’m already so pleased with my results! He does not make your nose look overdone/fake, which was very important to me. Besides the friends/family that I told, no one else has ever suspected that I had my nose done!
Overall, I found Dr. Rival’s disposition to be kind and caring. I appreciated how soft spoken he was and never seemed to be cocky, yet had just the right amount of confidence to assure me that I could trust him.
Only thing I’ve noted now is that I still have a slight bump on my nose when I take a picture from certain angles but this is likely swelling/edema that will go down as I go through the healing process. Not really concerned about this yet! Patience is really a virtue.

Is this ethnic rhinoplasty? How much did he charge?
November 22, 2020
Yes i'm ethnic, haha. My background is Pakistani and the total including tax was like 9800 I think. It was a septorhinoplasty to be exact

It really doesn't look bad, I like that he did minor adjustments which basically just retained the shape of your nose and just shrank the size of it lol like on FaceTune. Did he do alar base reduction as well? Is that how the dents on the sides were reduced?

What doesn't look bad? Mhm exactly! My nose only needed minor adjustments, sometimes less is more. I agree, it's a reduced version of my nose haha. Yes, he did alar base reduction!

Your before nose doesnt look bad, my before(current) nose doesn't look bad either, especially when I see some of the other reviews on here, a lot of people have pretty awful noses (never knew LOL, feel pretty lucky), mine is just slightly overprojected, and a bit wide similar to yours with those dents on the alar. I know I am attractive even though my nose isn't "perfect", it does fit my face and just seems like such a huge risk but I think if you do your research it is worth it. I don't want to change the shape of my nose at all, just slightly smaller like yours.

Oh right! Yeah, well Dr. Rival picked up on the same thing. Our first consult was virtually and he wasn’t convinced that I needed a rhino. But when I went to see him in person, he was better able to note some of the concerns I had and agreed that we could make very minor adjustments to get a more well balanced nose. I definitely think it’s worth it too! You seem like you’re content with the nose you have now though, which is good.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Omg your results are amazing. It looked really good before. Hope you're enjoying the new you :)

Your results are amazing! This is exactly what I’m looking for. Would you be able to tell me what you asked for exactly? Your pre-op nose is similar to mine and I’d love to achieve a similar result. Dr. Rival seems like a skilled surgeon and I’ve gone to him for a consultation but i’m still not 100% sure.

If you're not 100% sure he understood what you wanted, then I would trust your instinct. Don't go off of others results because you just never know.

I agree with the other writer, use your instincts to gage the best possible outcome. If you’re not 100% sure, there’s a reason for it and your instincts are a warning that maybe this is not what you want after all is said and done.
