2 years Post Op Dr Lucian Ion
So it’s been 2 years since I had my primary rhinoplasty. Over the last 2 years I have had a love hate relationship with my nose to the point I was actually considering revision due to the left side of my nose caving in
In June 2017 Dr ion had put in a filler which has fixed the issue For now. I have another follow up appointment in January to see how my nose is looking and to discuss of revision is necessary
I have to stress that other surgeons who have seen my nose Have said that my surgeon has done a superb job and that they wouldn’t have been able to tell that I had a rhinoplasty.
I definitely would have preferred abit more of a supra tip, the supra tip I had initially has disappeared and seems to have become more of a straight tip.
I do still think it’s quite swollen In the tip area.
I think I have made my decision not to have revision surgery. Earlier this year I became so depressed after looking at people on social media with perfect noses etc so I decided to switch off from all social media apart from facebook.
I would recommend people maybe not Stare too much in the mirror and analysing what’s you perceive to be imperfections, and maybe not spend too much time on social media. Photoshop and filters easily deceive people.
I have grown my hair (there is a reason) but here is what my nose looks like right now

Revision required - March 2017
Hi everyone so here's a front view of my nose I had to turn the lighting down just so I could show you what I'm talking about
I had another appointment with dr ion on the 7th Dec - i had my surgery on 1st December so it's been a year already .
Immediately when dr ion saw me he noticed the curve on the left side of my nose. This actually happened in October - I haven't had a fall or anything it's just how it has turned out and he said that he had seen this before and this is due to the skin adjusting to the new nose. He immediately asked which bot would I want revision on - before anyone says anything this was suggested by dr ion and not me I have never mentioned revision to him EVER. He recommended doing a fat transfer to my nose he felt this was the best option - he told me to eat lots of burgers and chips and get some meat on me - the man is totally awesome . He said that this procedure could be done under local anaesthetic
My concerns with this was that I was going to need a fat transfer regularly but he said that this is usually permanent and that I needed to decide whether I wanted the fat on at the top of my nose or the bottom apparently you cannot have it on both - he suggested top and of course I trust the man so if I do go ahead then I will do the top
He also said he could put hyaluronic acid which for me is a no no . I am not filling my nose with any injectables and then topping it up every 6-12 months so that was out of the question
My Third option was that he would use something - I cannot remember what it was but it's not a a piece of my rib or ear cartilage but something which can be entered and rolled up to the left of my nose OR he could slope my nose a teenie bit more to make it much closer to my morph and use the cartilage to put on the left which means under general anaesthetic
He has also suggested I wait until march and use a cream called Eligina which can be bought from amazon and apply this to the area in the morning and night which could help and even out my nose and I need to do this until march - if this doesn't work then we will do some form of revision
He has said a patient should only have one rhinoplasty as the tissue on the skin can become dead and look strange so I have a lot to consider
I will not be charged for revision but I will have to pay for the hospital and anaesthetist which is very annoying
I am by no means saying dr ion has done a bad job the man is a genius and he really has shown me he cares and I think he's done an absolutely amazing job with me and I totally trust him and I wouldn't have chosen another surgeon -he knows I have full trust in him and will still recommend him
The picture doesn't do the curve any justice it's actually worse in real life but it depends on the light.
