Revision Rhinoplasty for Upturned and Short Nose (Male) - Seattle, WA
UPDATED FROM GuyFromTheNorth
1 1/2 year mark - I have tried filler in the cheeks, chin and jaw
$13,000
The nose is starting to settle, and the swelling has gone down to the unrecognizable. I am very happy that the nose eventually looks normal again. The nose still collapses when I breathe heavily, and I have quite a lot of allergies, so I would have to to open the airflow with spreader grafts at some time, but now, ulike earlier, it's not that big of a rush. You can see in the one photo of the nose, that is one month after the first surgery, that the nose clearly looks something quite different now, and I am happy it turned out like that, not as bad as first expected.
I have for the first time tried filler in the cheeks, jaw and chin. I like the results so much. I am considering one more syringe in the cheeks, but for now I am happy, as I don't look as tired as I did before. And I also feel that the filler placed in the jawline and chin makes my face look a bit more angular and masculine. It's what I've allways wanted.

I think your wish nose looks very good on you! I'm just not sure about the implants. I recommend you fix your nose first and maybe with that change you will be happy :) it's definitely a nice nose. I like it!

Thank you! :) Great to know that I'm not the only one to think that, haha. I'm afraid that not taking the chin implant at the same time will make the nose look too big. I dont want it to look small, but combined with the implant the nose won't look so dominant in my face. Or at least this is what I have convinced my self to believe :)

But the revision is definately the very first thing I'll do. It's also the most expensive, so I'll have to be very patient not doing anything else because its less expensive. ;)

When are you going to have a surgery? Did you consult Dr. Lamperti in person or just by emails? What grafting material are you going to use? I'm also from Europe and I'm looking for a revision doctor in USA, that's a pain in a butt ; P

I dont know yet when I'll have the surgery, but hopefully within a year. Dr. Lamperti said that the tissue will be easier to work with, with time, so I'm not in any hurry. The breathing problems are a [RS bleep] though... I contacted Dr Lamperti by email. I guess I've sent over 20-30 emails, with a lot of questions and photos. He always replies with detaljed emails. The grafting material will be septum or rib. I understand you a lot, there are not quite a lot of revision surgeons in Europe...

Thanks for the reply, I wish you all the luck with the revision. At the same time I advise you to leave the rest of your face alone, you don't need those crazy implants, seriously.

Any insights from folks who have had personal experience with Dr Lamperti would be very helpful! I'm considering him for a revision rhinoplasty.

Don't TOUCH IT.
He did an excellent job. The nose dated for 14 Dec 2014 is absolutely beautiful. It's straight without ruining your smile.
Trust me--you don't want a nose that pulls down the rest of your face. You look better than "masculine"--you are beautiful.
Leave the nose alone and consider midface implants to fill out your bone structure. NO MORE RHINOPLASTIES.

@ANONPATIENT: I take it back. Do what you need to. But I would really reconsider if another rhino can do what you need. I have a very downturned nose as a girl now, and I hate it. It makes it harder to speak or smile freely when the nose droops too much. It can also put pressure on your natural vascular structure.
I think he did a great job.

I truly can't wait to see your results. I am absolutely in love with this surgeon. His description of all before and after pictures are so detailed. I truly wish you the very best. Please keep us all updated!

Thank you so much :) Hope it will be a success. Yes, I know, Dr Lamperti seems very thorough, and whenever I speak with him, very honest. Can't really say how important that is to me, with all my previous experiences... I will keep you updated!

Thank you. :) We'll see what happends regarding the implants. I think I'll first try fillers, and then if I like it I'll probably have implants when I am a bit older.

It's now over 1 year since I had the original rhinoplasty, which was on the 28th November, 2013. The nose looks better now, compared to the first 6 months. I don't really think much about the apperance when I am amongst other people, or when I am working, and it does not seem that other people care much either. And that is very positive.
If it weren't for the breathing problems I now have, I am not really sure it would be worth spending 13K on a revision rhinoplasty. The very drastic changes I first believed I had to make, to obtain this desired masculinity, are in fact not that big of a deal any longer. I don't think every single aspect and every feature on my face have to be 100% masculine, or just as masculine as every other feature. Instead I want to look healthy and youthful, but combined with the masculine. Not overdoing anything is an important keyword.
