Sorry for the late reply yes and no to answer your question I would recommend him if you want a slight change however if you are looking for a major change no

I appreciate your detailed account. I have no issue with my nose, but I have read many reviews and it seems a lot of people need revision surgery. You are Very beautiful and I hope everything works out for you.

So I finally got a call back from him today to tell me how to treat my wounds, which was nice even though it took a week but I think anybody who spent 15000 in cash to get a desire look and dont really look that that much different would be upset also.

I'm still confused as to why you will only go to Mexico. i thought you went because it's cheaper--but it's not so...the US is still better in terms of quality and safety standards--was there really no doctor in the whole country that you were interested in?

I have been doing research on Rhinoplasty Doctors on African American nose in US .All of the them have bad reviews and don't have consistent result.The only one in my opinion who have great consistent results are Dr Sam Rizk . He has very good eye what kind of nose would look on a face and it looks very natural.The only downside is that he is very expensive but amazing results!!!!If I will get my nose done I think this the only Doctor I would trust.

US isnt always better have you heard of lil kim and Michael Jackson
September 22, 2014
I think the best thing is the find a surgeon who only does rhinoplasty and not other procedures . Rhinoplasty is one of the most complex surgery
September 22, 2014
Exactly Michael Jackson first rhinoplasty came out very good .That was in his thriller time.He already had rhinoplasty.

I honestly admire strong-minded woman like who know what they want and go after it.i've learnt a lot from you story and pray hard for divine mercy upon my nose.i had a bad nose job in india last may and my reversion is scheduled in December. Even though am worried about the time of the reversion but my new surgeon reassured me it was okay because they nose will not change with time.Am a west- African and my reversion will be done by Dr ķofi boahene in Ghana. I need you type of courage! Goodluck in your recovery.

Dressing my nose up

So yesterday I decided to get cute and used makeup to contour my nose they way I like it. If someone ask would I recommend my doc I would probably say no. Unless you want a slight change.

Sidenote:Nothing to do with my nose, so I have mentioned that I had bra fat removed at the same time as my rhinoplasty I think I am disgust with my doctor because my wound still isnt heal it looks horrible and I had to go to the hospital because I was scared I had an infection, I didnt. I express my concern when I was in Mexico because one side was neatly stitch up and the other looked like a rush job. Last week I reaally let him have it because I was so depress he offered a revision from day one but there shouldnt be any need for one if you did it right the first time of course he gave me all the excuses in the world. So its so hard to say anything nice about him right when he left me disfigured

It looks like there is a minor collapse of the mid portion of the septum and it may need a spreader graft, although he does good work with primary i don't think you should go back to him for revision. You may also need to get a caudal septal extension graft to strengthen the inside. Is your breathing okay? I think you can still get a near perfect result if you see a good revision specialist. You can also get a good result from permanent filler but that won't fix the underlying weakened structure. Post on the Q&A and see what the surgeons say about it. I lived with a collapsed nose for 7 years (worse than yours) and it did get worse during 2 years post op. My tip was also collapsed as well. If you go back to the same surgeon and he tries to fix it with reduction or augmentation methods, you will be traumatised. God bless realself for helping us to help each other.

I have read your reviews and I know you are an expert when it comes to rhino but I refuse to go for a round 3 I just can't emotionally I'm only 3 weeks and have a long road to recovery and when the final results are said and done whatever I don't like makeup will just have to fix it. And as far as breathing I have no problems

The mid portion of your nose is definitely collapsed due to weakened structure, the surgeon did not contour the nose irregularly, it just happens that your septal cartilage is too weak in the area and there is a risk that it will get worse over time. You can try using a plastic nose splint for as long as possible to help keep it straight while it heals and gets stronger, like whenever you are inside the house asleep etc. I don't want to write this to upset you, just offering a solution that may help in your road to recovery.
