I need a revision! I will not have money for that...

$7,500
I need a revision! I will not have money for that anytime soon. Is there anything that can be done about SCARS on the sides of my nose?
I knew I should have gone to a different surgeon when I showed him pictures of what I wanted and he said I can't make any promises and disregarded the photos. For $7k I need some promises!! Out of date practice no computer imaging, so your blindly trusting him to do what you ask. He did my moms nose in 1998. I like her nose, I wanted to go to him all of my childhood. Sadly I should have looked elsewhere. He left stitches in my nose because he couldn't see them. I had to go back in and have them taken out after they kept irritating my skin. My nose appears asymmetrical and upturned. No where near what I asked for ????????. Save your money and go elsewhere if your looking to get rhinoplasty ??????&??

He is nice, clean office. I am unhappy with his work. He didn't offer to do much to fix it either.

Sorry you didn't get the nose you wanted! Having a bad surgery can totally suck the life out of you...For what it's worth, I don't think your nose looks that bad. I can see areas where you'd be concerned with it, but I definitely would not consider it botched. Anyway, thanks for your honest review and wish you the best finding a good revision surgeon.
Hello, your nose isn't botched, and also I can see the scars from the sides that you mentioned above. You still very beautiful and you didn't lost your beauty..
