Best Revision Rhinos in World? - Cosmetic / Plastic Surgery Message Board

Hi all

Had a first rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago, am feeling very depressed with the results. The doc has shortened and pushed the nose up more than I wanted, it's quite thick and turned up at the end, and he also scooped out more than he should.

I had a long thin roman nose beforehand, with a hump. I very much want my old nose back!! Can anyone reccommend revision surgeons - anywhere in the world, but PLEASE the best!! I hated the whole procedure and recovery, so I don't want to have to keep going back for more.

By the way, I'm from the UK and had the surgery done by a Mr Nishikawa in B'ham. Does anyone know of good revision surgeons please? I know I have to wait a year before getting it redone, but with your guys' help I can research the next surgeon thoroughly. Please help!

Kay

If you're only 3 weeks post-op, you still have a TON of healing to do! It will get more refined every single day. It takes up to a YEAR or more for you to see the final result! Most surgeons won't even touch a nose that's been operated on for at least 6 months. May say to wait a year.. Just for the healing to be able to take place. You're still very swollen! I'm actually at amost 3 weeks post-op right now.. Will be on Thursday anyway. Mine will take a lot longer because this was my second surgery... Revision. I don't know of any good revision doctors in England.. I'm sure they're out there though. My advise to you would be to consider traveling to the US if you're still unhappy with the results in another couple months. If you go to a 'bad' surgeon again.. you'll end up spending A LOT more money in the long run by having to go to yet another doctor to fix the first and second doctors mistakes! It will cost much more than a plane ticket to a great doctor!

Hey Kay,

Im from london to and have had the same problem as u. I to had a nice long roman type of nose thin as well but just with a hump. the PS in london came very highly recommened but the outcome wasnt so great. Im 8 weeks after my op and maybe its just still swelling which i hope and now i have an even bigger problem my eye is still black. I he shorten the nose its not so scooped out thank hell but im asian long nose look good on me and my tip was causing me problems to breath but now its seems short and wide and im so anygry. I think going to the US is a good option DR nassif i hear is very good with revision rhino surgeons in the UK fail to reliaze what looks good on the person judging by his skin colour ethnice background and overall features, they just want give you a nose that they are trained in and know only what to do. Let me know whats not right with yours.

I do think it is early for you to consider a revision.However since you asked the two names I see talked about the most for revisions who seem to be very well respected are the following

r. Dean Toriumi in Chicago IL. and Dr.Norman Pastorek in New York City.I'm going to consult with both of them this spring.
Hope this is useful.

Oh, my. You are still so early in the process! I am now 19 weeks post op and I still don;t know what my final nose will look like! Give your nose time to heal and time for the swelling to go down!
I have included a link to my pictures Ihave taken throught my process. I heve experienced a great deal of day to day change. you will too!
