I had revision rhinoplasty done with cadaver cartilage. I had rhinoplasty done 16 years ago and implant started to shift. I just wanted it straight and give me a round tip. So far my nose looks nothing like it used to and looks worse. Yes it is straight now but the shape is ugly and looks too pinched between the eyes. Nostrils look bigger. I'm extremely unhappy! ! I looked better with old crooked nose!

He made it to thin between your eyes. Looks like you lost some tip support making your nostrils flare. Being in Texas you could try consulting with Cochran

I pray your nose turns out beautifully! I'm sorry you having such a hard start on your revision rhinoplasty. I am looking for a surgeon to do my revision rhinoplasty thank you for your review it helped me a lot!

Thanks for your comments. I guess I'm stuck with this nose for a year until I can find someone to redo it. I hear we have to wait a year for revision. I'm just disappointed a surgeon who "specializes" in revision didn't turn out soooo special after all!

Still hate my nose

NOTgrowingoldgracefully
Everyday that passes I still look in the mirror and feel ugly. It has definitely lowered my self esteem and I still get angry about the situation. I know there's nothing I can do about it right now but I sincerely regret I didn't pick a different doctor. I don't want to take pictures anymore and it sucks because holidays are coming up. My profile looks ok even though it looks too pinched between the eyes but I can't walk sideways my whole life. Uugghh! ! ! !

Sorry for what you are going through, I can completely relate.
Do you still trust going back to the same doctor ?

Good question. I'm not sure if I trust him to fix it right when I feel like he screwed up once already
