Successful Revision Rhinoplasty - Natural Results

I travelled to Dr. Arfat for the rhinoplasty from the other side of the world.
The communication with Dr. Arfat from the beginning was pleasant, we had a video call in the beginning and that was enough to in-still confidence. The main reason for choosing Dr. Arfat is that he specializes in rhinoplasties, and he cares about his reputation, for e.g. his online presence. Too many surgeons out there don’t end up specializing and so are never able to achieve the kind of results that a specialist can achieve. And if we are to compare him with other surgeons in Pakistan who have zero online presence, then he is your only option there.
He performed revision rhinoplasty, where he fixed breathing issues and a hump. Cosmetically my requirement was that I want more definition (finesse?) in my nose, especially the nose tip. I’m about half a year post-surgery and I do still have swelling, which he has confidently mentioned will go down further and I’ll be able to see more definition in the tip and the supratip break I asked for.

Dr. Arfat takes a conservative approach with the nose, where he tries to preserve the customers features and ethnicity, which is something I see most good surgeons doing in the US & Canada. For example, he ensured he does not rotate up my tip too much which could potentially change my face and especially my smile. I agreed with him. The nose looks great. After my primary rhinoplasty with another surgeon my tip had ‘fallen’, a hump appeared and my breathing issues returned after a year or two. I have confidence that this will not happen this time.

Worth mentioning: Because previously my tip dropped, I was very anxious before the surgery and I told him that, but by the time we had to go to the operation theatre I had significantly calmed down. He also had another surgeon operating with him, which I don’t know if it made a difference but it was even more re-assuring for me personally.

Now the results: I have a straight bridge, it looks very natural, the nose is slightly smaller than before (which I wanted) and I have a very appropriate amount of projection. I’m waiting to see more definition in the tip but I’m sure that will come within a few months.

Summary: it is worth it. I spent 2 years looking for a surgeon online all over the world (I’m very conscious about my nose & it’s a source of anxiety for me as my primary rhinoplasty was not successful so I was willing to wait until I find the right surgeon for me) and he was my first choice. The results do not look like I’ve had work done, very natural results.
