Scheduled to have a turbinate reduction, septoplasty with rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. - Rhinoplasty

I had my revision in May. My tip is still much larger than what was agreed upon. I also still have a bump on the right side of the bridge. I am really disappointed at this point. I was hoping it would be a little bit smaller and not so bulbous. Most likely, I will go to someone else for the tip to be corrected. I will post pics soon.

So, this has been quite a journey and it's not over yet... I saw Dr. Goldman today and had my bump rasped down as well a laser treatment. It was a pleasant experience as usual; Dr. Goldman and his staff are always fantastic :) I really feel like this is what I needed for the procedure to be complete as far as Dr. Goldman is concerned. The rest will require time and me being patient. I will post before and after pics once the cast comes off. The process sounded simple enough and was suggested to be done under local anesthetic. I am not that brave and he was kind enough to allow me to have a twilight anesthesia. He performed the procedure by making incisions along the inside of the bridge and staying away from the nasal tip to prevent swelling (thank God, because I wouldn't want to go through that again). From there he rasped down the bony areas with a diamond file until they were smooth and straight. He then placed two sutures in my nostrils and a cast on the bridge to protect it.

I cannot stress enough the ups and downs of having a rhinoplasty procedure. Your emotions run the gamut and I don't think I fully realized this going in. I feel blessed to have found an office like Beachwood Plastic Surgery. They truly care about their patients, Dr. Goldman goes above and beyond and I am very grateful for all that he has done for me.

Like I said, I will post pics in a week. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to email me. I have been getting a lot of questions from people on this site and always try to answer them within a day. If it takes a few longer, please bear with me :)

I had another couple steroid injections in my tip in mid November. Dr. Goldman said this is normal since my skin is thick and oily. I am happy to report that they have helped with the tip size and the skin is very loose now on the tip and bridge. It is still a little bit numb and I can't push the tip up at all. I am hoping this resolves soon. I do have a small dorsal hump in my bridge. Dr. Goldman said this could be from the healing process after having my nose broken. He wants to rasp it down with me awake. I think doing it with me awake is crazy and I will end up being sick before he can make an incision (I am not a good patient). We will see what happens though, since he can't do it until July. You really can't see the bump unless I point it out, if I take a picture from certain angles or when I take off my glasses. I lost the charger to my camera but I have some recent pics from a vacation. You can clearly see how much smaller my nose is. Not only from before surgery but after the swelling. Before I decide if I am happy with my "finished look" I would like to see the small bump gone and the tip swelling to resolve completely. If anyone has any questions feel free to email/message me!
