How it works

- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

New before and after pictures.
Here are some new photos direct from my Dr. They are of prior to my primary rhinoplasty compared to 6 months post op. I am having a revision with this same Dr. on August 27th, 2015. Please follow that story under my Revisin rhinoplasty review.
3 Months Post-op
Three Months Post-Op - Revision Scheduled.
I had a much needed three month post-operative visit with the doctor on Monday. I was prepared to ask many questions about what he observed when looking at my nose. My goal of this appointment was to see if my Dr. sees what I see without me having to point it out.
I arrived, was directed to the examining room on time, and was assessed by his nurse. His nurse asked me how I was doing and how I felt about my result. I kept it brief as I really didn't want to leak any information to the surgeon prior to him seeing me. I wanted a completely fresh observation free of my opinions. I did share with her that my husband and I have plans on expanding our family this fall and she said that would be good information for the Dr. to know just in case we had to do a revision.
She left and the Dr. came in soon after. He greeted me and immediately began to examine my nose. He took his time doing this and at the end concluded that I indeed, needed a revision. He proceeded to point out every flaw that I had noticed and discussed how he would work to correct them in during revision. This was SUCH A RELIEF! I say this because he saw what I saw and I didn't have to point out any differences in our opinions. My trust in him remains good for this reason.
The main complication remains the same, a bone shifted during the initial recovery. He will fix this and the other issues through use of cartilage to be harvested from my ear. He may also harvest some soft tissue behind my hairline. He will go in through the old incision in my nose so this procedure will also be "open." The idea of extra incisions scares me as I don't know how I will possibly sleep using a neck pillow with a cut up ear but I am sure I will manage.
The surgery is scheduled for August 27th (six months after my primary post-op) which is great because we wanted to start trying for baby number two in September! Of course my Dr. did not rush the revision date earlier due to this, he is just very comfortable doing my revision at six months because my swelling is very minimal and my scar tissue is softer than what is normally expected at this point. He is also the top revision surgeon in Kansas City so I often joke that my primary was a failure because he likes to do revisions! The other line I use is, “well that is what I get for having surgery on Friday the 13th.”
I am so happy that I AM NOT CRAZY and that the issues I see are NOT IN MY HEAD! Validation has reduced my stress greatly. Staying positive through this whole process is so important! My surgeon is staying true to his word and waiving his fee for the procedure. I will post pictures soon and probably start a revision page.
Thanks for your continued support! I contribute most of my optimism to the glorious members of this community.

Provider Review
Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
3901 Rainbow Blvd. , Kansas City, Kansas
His staff and he did not mind at all when I requested another last minute consultation which was reassuring. I really do appreciate his main nurse. She has always been very kind, patient, and willing to return any call I made to her with some eager answers paired with some unexpected words of comfort. The only thing that my deter someone is the appearance of their office. It is within an actual clinic so it is not as fancy as some plastic surgery places. I didn't care about that because I know of his experience and reputation around the Kanas City area and I am absolutely convinced he is the best plastic and reconstructive surgeon around! I pray that my results live up to his reputation.
