Silikon 1000 Removal from Nose and Rhinoplasty

WORTH IT
I am so lucky I found Dr Karamanoukian! After two decent, but asymmetric rhinoplasties I tried silicone injections by a “top nose doctor” in Beverly Hills to avoid another revision and the final result (after three injections) left my once feminine, refined nose- bulky, more masculine, chronically inflamed (swollen), in pain, and discolored (purple) on one side. It was so depressing!! I was gutted and hopeless. What a stupid, expensive mistake! But what I didn’t know then, was that this horrific experience with silikon 1000 would be the blessing I needed to lead me to the surgeon who could get me the results I always wanted. That surgeon is Dr Raffy Karamanoukian. He was a godsend. A miracle worker.
Although I was hesitant at the thought of another surgery- I knew I needed to get the silicone out ASAP as it would only get worse with time. Finding an expert surgeon.. and an expert silicone removal specialist like Dr Karamanoukian was hard, and again, I’m so lucky I found him. He made me feel comfortable and confident about the procedure from the beginning. He is nothing short of genius. A whip-smart and master surgeon who is damn good at what he does. You can tell by his passion, warmth, sincerity and intelligence that he was born to be a surgeon. It’s almost effortless for him (he makes complicated surgeries look easy). Dr Raffy and his amazing staff always answered my hundreds of worrisome questions and anxieties with patience, support, and loving care. Yulia and Gwen were my emotional support team and scheduling rock stars. I have so much gratitude for everyone there. They were incredibly supportive before and after surgery.
Now for the actual results: so not only did Dr Raffy surgically remove the insane amount of liquid silicone from my nose (I’m so happy it’s out), but he also straightened my deviated septum (which I didn’t know I had) AND in his expert, artistic, subtle way, refined the asymmetries to look more balanced, feminine, and natural. AND to top it off yet again, I still look like myself- not a different person/nose. All of which I didn’t think was possible!! I’m still shocked I have such a beautiful nose now. Looking in the mirror is actually pleasurable. He gave me my life back. My mental health back. This saga is over (thank God).
I highly recommend Dr Raffy Karamanoukian. Go see him and change your life for the better!

Oh wow, we have a similar story. I had silicone rhinoplasty after 2 not terrible but not great surgical rhinoplasties. Things seem ok so far but I'm so paranoid. How long did it take for the silicone to look bad? I just completed my 3rf round in April 2021. Also, what Is the cost of Dr.K revision? Thanks!

Hi there, the silicone looked bad after the third injection for me. It was too much silicone (my nose became way too big) and my skin started having complications right away. Since you’re feeling paranoid about it, I’d definitely recommend getting a consultation with Dr K to see what he observes and to get a quote for removal (and rhinoplasty if that is what you want) since each situation is so different and unique. He’s a great surgeon and is honest and reliable.

Hi! I definitely had a similar experience and must have been from the same bev hills doctor who "knows noses" :(. I wish I never went there and want to remove it but also do a revision. Was the $8k removal cost only or with the revision? Do you have any pics you could share? A million thanks!!!

Hi! Did the removal of the silicone leave any scarring at the point of entry for the liposuction? Are there any indentations after it was removed? I had the same procedure and there is silicone between/around my eyebrows and I hate it.

It wasn’t lipo. He did an open rhinoplasty and surgically removed the silicone. I don’t think it’s possible to do lipo on the nose.
