Lately Cosmeditour were a nightmare to deal with, dodging my calls etc in the end I took it in to my own hands and went to talk to a cosmetic surgeon who isn't shonky haha. I feel like writing a seperate review for Dr Zacharias he's been an absolute angel, he went through where Dr Montien had fell short and helped me understand what he had done to me and what he should have done. Even better he was able to administer keloid injections to take down the excess scar tissue that was causing the awful shape and even though it's not perfect it's so amazing to have results! Dr Montien still did a terrible job but the injections have slimmed it down to a bearable amount and now I have a little definition! I can look in a mirror now without getting upset, he's amazing and I wish I had gone to him instead of shonky dodgy Montein. So annoyed Cosmeditour brushed off my curiousity with injections and just told me to pay them to cover a revision where they'd have to use my RIB cartilage to fix what he'd done. So lucky again to have washed my hands of them I've had so many people contact me after this review disappointed in their results so I've referred a lot of people to Zacharias now. What a legend! If I do decide to get a revision I know I'll finally be in safe hands!

That's a pretty major change in your profile view post injections. Your nose looks really good. Did it have an effect on the frontal view?
March 2, 2017
Thanks for the comment so glad you can see a difference too! There's only a little bit of change on my frontal, I went to see Dr Z for a smaller dose the first visit and it didn't do anything so I was really disheartened, then he said I could try another kind of injection and I was desperate so have it a go. The first week there was no change then suddenly I woke up and noticed I wasn't as swollen! Then the next day it was even better! This was after going against the advice of Cosmeditour who said the only thing that would work would be a full revision involving a rib graft and advised against any injections. So glad I didn't listen to them!

So happy things are getting better for you. This is such a hard procedure when it comes to the healing process.
March 3, 2017
Exactly! I would never recommend to go somewhere too far for your doctor to be liable for any damage done in a procedure, this would have been so much easier to do through an Aus doctor haha

Wow is that a more curved profile I can see?!? Looks soooo much better! Dr Z is amazing - I've read such great things about him. Do you know what type of steroid he used?
March 3, 2017
Yesss I'm so much happier the injection he used is kenalog I think? He tried something milder the first time called Fluro-something which didn't do anything, so happy he tried this, he's so lovely I couldn't have asked for a more understanding doctor! I really wish Id had my primary with him he's really the best I could have hoped for

Also why would you need rib graft when it looks like Dr M didn't take enough away. I mean it doesn't look like more cartlidge is needed - more like he should remove some. I messaged you so feel free to comment back if you feel like it x
March 3, 2017
Yeah def I can't check my messages on my phone app but I'll def check it tonight. Exactly though! I'm like "haha you're crazy if you think I'll let him shove my rib in there to make it bigger" so crazy haha!

Love what he did with injections. Looks much slimmer like almost a revision.

Looking back I wish I had gone through someone local, I actually wish my nose stayed like how it looked a few months ago! I think scar tissue has built up and cosmeditour have turned around and said Dr Montien suggests a revision with a rib graft if I want to change my profile and no to contact them for a year. I'm really depressed at the moment can't even look in the mirror without crying and it's effecting my job, my confidence, everything. I'm so embarrassed

Hi can I private message you? I have similar issues
December 9, 2016
Hey of course! With Dr Montien or another Cosmeditour surgeon? Ive had so many messages form girls getting revisions after seeing Montien :(

It will actually look a lot different in 2 years. It really does take a long time to shrink. From months 8-12 a lot of swelling goes out. The dropping of the tip is swelling leaving. Try not to lose hope-I think it looks pretty good. You can always go back and have it lifted a little in a year-it's a pretty minor touch up. Hang in there and try not to focus on it. Focus on your other great features!

Thats so sweet thankyou so much! I'm booked in for a consult next week with a surgeon o check if I should scehdule a revision or if I'll just need steroid injections, I hope it's fixable but these comment have been so wonderful I get awful anxiety logging on here and whinging but it's my only outlet at this stage so thanks so much!!

Don't do steroid injections-it will cause dents. You just have to wait it out. It's still swollen and just takes a really long time. Wait and see how you feel after 18 months before considering a revision. You still look great!
November 30, 2016
You don't look bad, but it is not the outcome you wanted. I understand your concerns. I would not go back to this doctor for any kind of revision. If you are not happy with his primary results, you will not be happy with his revision work either. I would go to Dr. Grigoryants if I were you. He will give you the nose you originally wanted.
December 9, 2016
This is so true! One thing I learnt from these forums and reading everyones experiences is to never go back once they've lied or made a mistake, def won't be going back I looove his work but I could never get the time off work to go to America :( Maybe one day! haha

Hi, I messaged you a while ago. Check your inbox :) I had surgery with the same surgeon in Bangkok and I am disspointed just like you.

I know you are unhappy that this didn't meet your desired aesthetic and I get it. I do want to say that by most of the worlds standards you received and attractive nose, which includes my opinion too.
I agree with going to someone within driving distance just for possibilities of complications alone, but also due to the requirements within our country that others do not all have in place, which can be deadly.
I hope you do not let the result of your procedure make you feel negative, impact your work or hinder your life. Look at it this way, you had a nose you did that you didn't find attractive before attractive before surgery and well you feel the same now. You are still the same you in the same boat, except your are out of some cash and probably seriously disappointed. I hope this helps some.
Just in case you are considering revision my advice would be to pay a visit to your primary care physician and see if they can provide you with some referrals. That's much more trustworthy than websites and online reviews.
