Revision Rhinoplasty - Toronto, ON
UPDATED FROM JNewspaperGirl
3 yrs later
$8,000
So I felt I should put an update 3 yrs later. A lot of swelling has gone away since my previous pics but the asymmetry that was there in the initial post op time is still present. There are tip bossae showing again on the right tip, a fair amount of nostril retraction on the right and a pinched look especially on the right (although no breathing issues). However the runny nose I’ve had since my primary is still present (Atrovent nasal spray every day is necessary to keep that manageable but not ideal).
Again to anyone considering rhinoplasty, just don’t do it!! It’s not worth the high high high likeliness of bad results!!! It has basically ruined all the good years of my life. Just play up your other nice features and find people out there to admire living confidently with their imperfect noses.
So I’m seeking revision again, I’ll post separate review of that whole process once it’s all done.

35 days post
It's now been 35 days since OR. Skin is still mildly pink when irritated (if oily when I wake up or halfway through the day). I'm researching IPL facial rejuvenation to help with that redness as I would love to wear less make-up. Breathing is fine. Nose still running a lot....still a little uncomfortable around the nostrils when I wipe my nose which is about 100 times a day.
As a side note, to anyone considering getting their nose done for the first time, DON'T DO IT! My nose runs pretty much constantly since my first nose job and it's the most annoying thing I'm the world. I can't go anywhere with out Kleenex. It's runs like water, I can't even sniffle to keep it from dripping. Getting my initial nose job is the biggest regret of my life.I wish time machines existed.

You are looking wonderful!! Such a great improvement. Your nose looks very natural now. I hope you are pleased with it now. You know sometimes I regret touching my nose and others I look at old pictures and think I would have never been happy with my real nose. It was quite hideous. My surgery is tomorrow morning, I hope it will go will and my nose journey will be over.

How are you doing Johnny? My surgery went well, but oh how I am scared for that cast to come off. I see Dr Rival this Friday to get it off. He warned me that my nose is very sowellen and will remain so for a much longer period of time because I have thick skin :( fingers crossed it will looks good, I think I can deal with the swelling as long as the general shape looks good. Right now below the cast my tip looks scary big. I cannot breath at all and the insides of my nose seem to be completely blocked by swelling. I started a review today and will post pictures once the cast comes off and hopefully some of the swelling settles.

You seem happier and more confident :) I was going to do IPL for rosacea until I saw a realself review where a lady aged 10 years overnight because IPL damaged the skin cutis. They recommend to wait I think 6 months after rhinoplasty for skin treatments. See if your surgeon has recommendations for redness. I know the face is very sensitive after surgery and sun burn is a higher risk. Try Avene skin care products for redness. They have lots of free samples at Shoppers. The redness probably has to do with vasodilation with more blood rushing to your face to repair the operated site.

Have you ever looked up "Kim Kardashian contouring"? She outlines her nose with a chocolate brown to redefine the shape. It's pretty amazing her nose shape with and without contouring. Once you brush on the chocolate brown you then dust light colour powder over top to blend it. May be something fun to try while you wait for swelling to go away. The MAC makeup artists can show you how to do it. Tell them to be gentle!! I needed to keep reminding them to use a light touch when they did my makeup 2 months post surgery.

Contouring can do wonders, but it accentuates crookedness and deformities more because of how the shadows cast. Her nose is lovely and straight now contouring will be a great technique to use. You tube has tons of helpful tips on how to do a nose properly.

Looks very natural! I think that's the best thing about Dr. Rival, his work is never overdone or unnatural looking. At day 19 you are most likely extremely swollen, once the swelling goes down it is going to look amazing.
