This was my third revision rhinoplasty. My previous surgeries weren’t because of complications; during my first surgery, the hospital suggested replacing the silicone, so they opened my nose twice, and only recently did I discover that an L-shaped silicone implant had been placed without my knowing. My last surgery was about 12 years ago when I was a student T_T After that, my tip drooped somewhat and I disliked the shape because the starting point of my bridge was too high, so I began looking into surgery. I wanted to lower the starting point of the nose and improve the sunken midface area. My original nose was also very short and thick, with a bulbous, upturned appearance. Since I wanted this to be my final surgery, I used autologous costal cartilage. I also had silicone for the bridge, columella lowering, short-nose correction, nasolabial-angle correction, and two procedures for rhinitis. I liked that they identified these points, discussed them with me, and helped design the result as close as possible to what I wanted. I also liked the doctor’s aesthetic sense and philosophy, and decided on surgery because there was an anesthesiologist present. It hasn’t even been a year and there is still swelling, but my nostrils are symmetrical, and I have no symptoms such as deviation or inflammation. Most importantly, the areas I wanted improved have improved, which makes me happy. Everyone, including the doctor, was kind, so I felt much less anxious before and after surgery. I hope more time passes and the swelling goes down further. I hope this helps everyone who is deliberating.

Nose Surgery Reviews@rhino-reviewOct 22 Sharing my review of a hump-nose surgery with no implant
My side profile had always looked... not great because of the hump, but I didn’t want to make my nose very high either lol. I thought a natural straight line suited men’s noses better, so I had surgery without an implant. It was done…
Nose Surgery Reviews@rhino-reviewOct 22 So happy with my refined nasal tip and columella line: an honest revision-rhinoplasty review
My original nose wasn’t extremely unusual or a major insecurity, so I deliberated a lot before deciding on revision surgery. I worried that if I had it done again, it might turn out worse than before. So even until the surgery, I think I…

I do not recommend getting a nose surgery here… I went because I saw someone I know who had another surgery here, but my nose became crooked, and the shape is not great either. (I had surgery without an implant.) I am looking into revision
