What are some tips/ advice to not let the way my nose currently looks consume me before I get my revision scheduled In January? It is currently eating me alive. I feel like 1/2 of myself or less every day and cannot look at myself in the mirror. I am graduating college in 2 weeks and I need to keep pushing on, but I am struggling. I cannot get past the regret and miss how happy I was before I made the choice to get my surgery.

I don't really see ethnic noses on Dr. Baver Simsek Instagram page. Has anyone with ethnic and thick skin gone to him? If so, how was you experience?

Need a recommendation for the best male revision surgeon in NY but willing to travel for the best surgeon since I will the need the use of rib cartilage and this would be my 3rd surgery :(

I've been trying to find people who had reverse osteotomy to due to overly osteotomized bone in their first rhino. I find the lack of blog post from people who got reverse osteotomy really weird... It makes me think is this surgery really even possible?

I can’t find any stories of people who have actually had this done. The stiffness really bothers me, it feels like my nose is forever swollen.

Have anybody had rhinoplasty to fix retracted nostrils? Anybody that can share their experience?

I had a rib grafts placed 8 months ago and the inside of my nose still feels weird. This is my third surgery so I’ve never had an issue with the inside of my nose before but it’s like I’m always aware of it. It doesn’t hurt on the inside or anything. It just feels weird and stiff. Breathing was also iffy for a long time and I started to worry and also thought at one point I was developing ens. I’m feeling much better now and finally turned a corner on healing this month so I hope it continues to improve. I never see anyone complaining about the inside of their nose, so I was wondering if anyone has experienced any of this.

Hey everyone, I need a revision rhinoplasty for a collapsed nose. I’m having trouble breathing, I have a split nasal tip, uneven nostrils, and my nasal bridge is too flat.

I would really appreciate hearing your opinions or experiences with either surgeon, especially for complex revision cases.

I’m honestly so exhausted from this search and feeling really desperate at this point.

For people familiar with revision rhinoplasty surgeons who would you trust more for this type of case: David Kim, Brad Bader, or Katrib?

I’m looking for more of a restorative/natural revision to restore previous features. My primary surgery left me feeling over-operated on and I’m trying to find someone who understands facial harmony and preservation.

My concerns/goals are:
-reversing overly aggressive osteotomies/narrowing
-widening a pinched or over-resected tip. My face looks better with a wider nose like I had naturally.
-restoring softness/flexibility to the tip
-improving nostril tension/stiffness and contour. My old nostrils had soft look to them now they look tight and triangular in shape. (No alarplasty done).
-correcting an over-rotated/high columella look
-avoiding a “done” look and getting closer to my original anatomy

If you’ve consulted or operated with any of them, who do you think is strongest for this type of revision specifically?
I’ve seen Bader restore and produce fuller tips on those who had too much cartilage resection but I have not seen him do anything else besides that like augment dorsal bridge. I’ve seen David Kim’s work and he has done good tip work as well as dorsal augmentation. Katrib has good work too but I notice his bridges look boxier. Which I do not mind widening my lateral osteotomies if he was able to give me soft dorsal lines.

Would also appreciate hearing if any of them tend to push a certain aesthetic or if one is more conservative/restorative than the others.
Would genuinely appreciate honest opinions/experiences or other suggestions:))

Anybody who had a revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Toriumi, how similar was your actual final result to the morph he created for you beforehand?
