Second revision
Hello, all, I’m a guy who’s in need of a 2nd revision. I won’t say my exact age, but it’s not over 25. For starters, I let a very, very unexperianced ‘everything will be fine’ surgeon handle a ‘rare case’ nose that he had no clue how to fix. I was left with nasal bone deviations, cartilage collapses and pinches, and overall unnaturalness, although I guess it was slightly better than the huge, rounded clown nose I had before. I guess looking kinda like MJ is better than looking like a ape baboon, at least for a year, even though I had so many nasal collapses that it was a emotional nerve wreck!
Anyway, then, a year later, I had a revision by a top doc, to widen my bridge roof and tip points and give me a classic, masculine shape to the defining parts of my nose. I stressed very hard that I did not want my nose ‘bulbous’ or round like my old nose, but I ONLY just wanted some specific areas to be more like a normal nose. Ends up, my revision surgeon places grafts everywhere I told him not to, almost as though he got this confused, and didn’t fix a single problem I wanted fixed. I’m in a bigger mess now I and I hate it. I need the grafting removed, and to go to doc who can do that, as well as adding the RIGHT grafts to the places I needed all along, as well as fixing things my revisionist didn’t even bother to in the first place.
Sad fact: my primary surgeon took longer to destroy my nose than my revisionist took to lob grafts blindly.
I know that Dr. Le spent 9 hours on a revision, and my case is so complex that I think this type of doc is exactly who I need, although there’s almost nothing about him out there and from what I’ve read on here, he’s not big on emails. I truly need help finding a good doctor!!!
I’ve considered:
Dr. Steve Byrd
Dr. Le
Dr. Kim (the one trained by T)
But I just don’t know anyone else! Help please!? =(

Dr. Byrd is legendary–in the sense that he is kind of old. Not sure how you feel about having an older surgeon operate on you. I’ve actually considered him myself, but always felt a little uncomfortable about his age. It’s just a personal preference of mine that surgeons be in the 45-55 age range…that’s usually their prime. Dr. Kim I have never heard of…who is he? Where does he practice? Dr. Le I have heard of, and I have seen a few decent before/after pics from actual patients. He is worth a consult. I have emailed him before, and he did mention he can remove grafts and de-bulk a nose, if necessary. Do you live near the East/West coast? You may want to look into Dr. Calvert if you’re closer to Cali. A few overgrafted Toriumi patients have went to him for debulking. He seems to have a nice eye as well. Keep us posted!!
Yes, where do you live? are you willing to travel? I have had three revisions so i feel your pain. I actually have to have a nother surgery because of a septal perforation from my last surgery,,,and i went to a supposed expert! Ive done a lot of research-who did your revision if you dont mind me asking? i havent heard of the doctors you have listed. feel feel to write if you need to chat.
