    Angry does revision rhinoplasty piss you off?

    To anyone who has had one or is considering one, does the concept of it piss you off??

    I had a rhinoplasty with breast aug 2 years ago. The breasts look great, but i am not happy with the nose. Although he took out the hump, he did nothign for the tip and it looks too long and not fitting on my face.

    i called Dr X after two years to see if i could get a consultation on how to fix it. He has since moved practices and is now practicing with two other surgeons. During my consult, he brought in another doc, who evaluated my nose, told me the problems with the tip, and said he could perform the surgery for $6000.

    Would this piss anyone else off? He never said that Dr X was in the wrong for how he did it, just said that the tip needed to be worked on as Dr X did not do anything to fix it. I thought rhinoplasty was rhinoplasty, and that it shouldnt have to be a two part surgery unless you have a bad doc and switch to a better one. In this case, they practice together, and he just handed it off to the other dr and wants another $6000.

    Any thoughts???

    word.

    thing is, its just the tip (hehehe).

    Its not breaking any bones, or anything like that. But, this guy is the best facial surgeon in the city..and with revision you dont want to mess around as a lot of docs suck with revisinos unless they are very specialized.

    I had rhinoplasty in December, and so far I am not super happy with it. I spent nearly 10 grand for this nose, and it still is on the large size. I am hoping it might just still be swollen, but if it looks like this after a year, I will most likely get a revision rhinoplasty.

    Well I have also wanted a nose job so my little ears perked up alot when the topic comes up

    I have heard Drs say that MOST people have to come back or want to come back and get a 2nd nose job , either they dont like it or the look they want requires separate operations ....thats all i know ......I am too scared to ever get one ....although I have photoshopped my nose and I would totally look smokin with a nose job ...*pouts*
    Visit me on myspace , Let me know if your from SW !!!!

    That seems like too much for that procedure.

    I want a nose job too - I've consulted with several plastic surgeons. But the idea of not being able to breathe through my nose while it's healing really disturbs me.

    No it doesn't. Rhinoplasty is usually $7K plus. Mine was $7500 just for the surgeons fees which did not include surgery room fee or anaesthesist fee. Any good surgeon will charge around that price.

    Unfortunately revision surgery is not going to be cheaper because it's just another rhinoplasty. Revisions can be even more difficult because the nose's structure has already been changed and the second surgeon may have to fix mistakes (differences in surgery technique) made by the first surgeon. There is also scar tissue from the first procedure to deal with.

    yes i agree, thats about the going rate for rhinoplasty.

    I can totally relate to the frustration. You need to wait a full year because it will change over time. In my case it has been two years and i know its settled.

    what pissed me off the most is that my original dr came to see me in the consult, then brought in another dr, and handed me off to him. They work together.
    The new doc says that the original got rid of the big bump on the top, but did not touch the tip. So, he says they have to do some overlapping, etc of the bottom cartilage. Apparently some docs are good with bones, and some are specialized with cartilage.

    I am pissed because i spent a ton on lipo do and the results on that were minimal as well...sometimes i feel like surgeons truly are sales people.

    any kind of facial surgery costs WAAY more than boobs. Esp. when u start getting into facelifts, etc. There is usually more skill and expertise and specialty involved with facial surgery because the bone structure is difficult. They actually have to chisel your features and shape them, where as with breasts, they usually work with the given shape, place them, and inflate an implant. I have heard facelifts with eyes going for about $30,000 before.

    My rhino was about $6000 and that was 15 years ago. I am happy overall, but I have a little bit of crookedness due to more scar tissue on one side and one nostril colapses. I'm not 100% sure that the nostril collapse isn't due to a mistake during surgery. I heard him get mad at a nurse for throwing out a piece of cartlige during my tip revision. I don't know if I'm unhappy enough to get another surgery though. Eventually I might, but I am sure it'll be much more than $6000 because now it's a revision.

    Mine was around the same as everyone else..7500 and I'm going to have a revision this summer! I hate the tip too, it's my only damn complaint. I've not had my consult yet and seeing 6 grand pop up kinda frightens me. I feel like my tip is bulbous and long? I dunno. It's been 5 years. So it's time

    God you'd think it would be less since it's just scar tissue but I suppose where they get you is "reconstruction" and my dr did my boobs etc etc etc lol all the other work.."perfection" and in all honesty he warned me that I'd probably want revision(s) and to THINK about it.

    He's an honest guy and he did a great job but the scar tissue at the tip drives me crazy.

    I've never had rhinoplasty, but yes, I would be pissed off and feel cheated. It seems like many people aren't happy w/their initial nose jobs, though.
