20 Years Old, Primary Rhinoplasty in the Netherlands

ORIGINAL POST

Hi all, After reading hundreds of reviews online...

Hi all,

After reading hundreds of reviews online I decided to add my own story on here as well. My nose has been bothering me for as long as I can remember. I've been wanting to get a rhinoplasty since I was 16 but decided to wait until I was fully grown. Last summer I actively started looking for a surgeon in The Netherlands or nearby. I've had a consultation with Dr. Noorman van der Dussen (Belgium) but decided his age might be an issue so I started looking for other doctors. I planned a consultation in December with Dr. Bart Stubenitsky at the Velthuis Clinic in The Netherlands. I couldn't find any reviews for him on The RealSelf but found some online that were quite promising. Would love to hear it if any of you have any experience with him though.

The issue with my nose is that it is quite large in comparison to the rest of my face. I have a very small forehead and a very small mouth and this makes my nose look even bigger. I also have a hump on the bridge of my nose, very large nostrils and a bulbous tip. Please let me know if you have/had a similar nose so I can kind of see what to expect.

Hey.. i have roughly the same nose as you and the same experience with Noorman Dussen. Have you considered going abroad? And i assume you want more than just hump removed?
November 24, 2016
Hi there, I definitely considered this and also contacted a doctor in Italy (Dr. Pietro Palma). Going abroad makes this proces a lot more expensive (and a lot more intense imo) so I just wanted to check out all the options in my country first!

I thought that initially as well.. but i didn't find any surgeon i would feel comfortable with. I am having one more consult with Dirk-Jan Menger who isn't around 80 years old and maybe finally pays attention to my wishes. I think he and Nolst-Trenite (arrogant guy) and Dussen are the most skilled/well known surgeons in the benelux. But there's so little reviews online about them which is what gives me an uncomfortable feeling.

And i'll look into Pietro Palma after writing this comment, but i would suggest you look into Dr. Lucian Ion as i'm fairly confident i will chose him despire the costs.

Hi hey19933. Could u let me know how was your consultations with dr Menger? I am considering him for my revision. And looking for some opinions about him?
November 26, 2016
Well sure, i have consultation 1 december, but you have to message me because i'll probably forget it. Or look on my review because i will update it afterwards.. i'll ask him how many revisions he does.
November 27, 2016
Ups somehow I missed this comment and PM you first, now i am reading this, sorry for spaming you;) ok thanks for your help than:) for sure I will stock u on 1st of dec too:)
November 26, 2016
Hi did u consider dr Menger? He seems really good at what he does, I am thinking to go with him with my revision.

Consult at Velthuis Clinic

MS1410
Sooo I had my consult with Dr. Stubenitsky at the Velthuis Clinic in Hilversum today. He's very friendly and made me feel super comfortable. He explained a lot about what to expect and made a morph that looked very good. Feeling quite confident that I'll be choosing him as my surgeon. I really do want to get a second consult and bring my dad along to see what he thinks about it. Getting more excited about this whole thing now. :)

I dont have the money yet but I cant wait to see your results. Do you know when you are exactly going for sure what are you exactly waiting for

Hey.. do you only want hump reduction or also deprojection? I wish you so much luck with your surgery.
December 14, 2016
I definitely want my entire nose done, not only the hump. :)
December 12, 2016
If you want a second opinion, I can recommend you Dr Lohuis from Bergman Clinics.
December 14, 2016
Thanks! I haven't looked much into this surgeon but I'll check him out!
January 2, 2017
Have you already scheduled an appointment? I will have my surgery with Dr. Stubenitsky in a little more than three weeks!
January 2, 2017
Nope not yet, I just don't know when I have the time to take two weeks off... That's so exciting!! Good luck with everything, can't wait to hear about your experience.
January 2, 2017
Thank you! Will keep my page updated. My brother has had surgery last Aug/Sept with Stubenitsky as well and his nose turned out great :).
