Has anyone had any experience?
From what I can see some of the stuff that is posted might be a paid person just talking him up.
What’s Wrong with My Nose?
please look at the first two pictures. as you can see my nose is RADICALLY different from both sides. (i like the first side… hate the other..). I’m wondering if this has anything to do with a deviated septum. (there’s a picture of my septum too).
I really want surgery to fix my big, droopy schnozz side so I’m wondering if I have any sort of case for a deviated septum! please help.
Also why the unevenness??? The side i like seems to have a bit of hard stuff in it, giving it support, which is entirely missing from the droopy side.
Contemplating rhinoplasty
I certainly have a prominent nose, but am unsure if making it smaller would even fit my face at all. Perhaps theres some type of other revision rhinoplasty that would be appropriate for me, such as tip rhinoplasty.
Believe it or not, I went all throughout high school and pledging a ruthless fraternity without anyone ever saying anything about my nose. I had gone in for a septoplasty to correct a deviated septum and noticed that my front profile changed as the tip droops more. I also heard someone complain of a similar thing. I then took a profile shot from the side and wasn’t really sure what to make of it; im not a bad looking guy at all from the front and think the profile is much different. This would all be done for myself and am wondering about anyone elses opinion who may be going through the same thing.
I attached a picture of a simulated program that gave me a before/after view.

Looking for doctor great with small details
Hi all,
I live in the northeast USA and I’m looking for a doctor who can help me out. I am willing to travel so even CA is an option.
I had a primary surgery done 10 years ago, which ultimately I was not happy with. Collapsed bridge, asymmetry, etc. It needed alot of work. So then I had a revision about 3 years ago (with a different doctor). It went well for the most part, but there were some nagging issues. I went back to the doctor for some in-office work to try and remedy them. When I say in office I mean he injected a local anesthetic to the area and used a scalpel and absorbable sutures to make small modifications.
Basically what I’m left with is 1 nostril that is not quite symmetric with the other. The doctor just couldn’t get it quite right. I’m certain it can be fixed with a little bit of work. I could see possibly needing a tiny bit of skin grafting. I would also question the doctor about tip definition, as mine is a bit undefined, but if it would require significant work I would probably pass since it’s not that bad.
So my main concern is to find a doctor that can make minor millimeter adjustments to the nostril area to get 1 side to match the other better.
Need recommendation on plastic surgeon for Rhinoplasty- Chicago
I am 31 years old and have always contemplated having my nose reshaped as early as elementary school..getting teased in school about my nose still haunts me to this day. As I got older I learned to brush off people’s comments but still remained very self conscious when taking photos. I recently became engaged and would like to have Rhinoplasty before I get married as I would love to not have to worry about how our wedding photos will turn out. I am very hesitant because I have read a lot of horror stories regarding this procedure. So if anyone can please recommend me a great plastic surgeon in the Chicago land area, that has produced them excellent results, I would greatly appreciate it!
Unwanted results
Hi, I had a revision with a popular Dr. Unfortunately consultation was brief and the following morning was operated. Not a bad job but not the results aimed for. People say it was better before. Now it is softer, smaller, shorter, bridge narrowed, walls puffy cause he inserted, tip is flatter…can anyone give me an advise pls..
Seeking a revision in Chicago-HELP! Toriumi????
I am a 21 year old girl living in Chicago. In March of 2009, I had a closed rhinoplasty and septoplasty. It was a terrible experience. I bruised so bad. The doctor broke my nose, which I wish he would not have done. Anyway, my breathing has improved but now my nose is crooked. I am beyond miserable. I always wear my glasses to hide it. I have had sleepless nights and anxiety due to this. I thought the rhinoplasty would help me feel better not worse.
Anyhow, I definitely want to get it fixed to straighten it out. I am thinking that maybe a graft can be added to the right side of my nose and make it even with the left. I don’t even know. I JUST DO NOT WANT MY NOSE BROKEN AGAIN and I DO NOT think I would want an open rhinoplasty either because healing from a closed one was rough enough…. Basically, I just want my life back and to get this fixed as minimally invasive as possible… lol. Is this even possible?
PLEASE RESPOND- ANYBODY WHO HAS SOME EXPERIENCE WITH THIS. ALSO, ANYBODY WITH INFORMATION ABOUT DOCTORS IN CHICAGO.
I am thinking of going to Toriumi. I know he has some bad reviews, but I also think he is very experienced and knows what he is doing. I have already been to Dr. Gary Wiesman for a consultation. He offered a free consult. Anyway, he seemed nice and experienced, but I just do not know if I can trust him and I do not know about anybody else. I want to make a right choice in a doctor and I think Toriumi seems like the safest choice. Has anybody on here had a revision by Toriumi? Does anybody know anything about Gary Wiesman? Please help. I am so depressed and I wish I would have never gotten myself into this mess to begin with.
Columella scar indentation
I am 1 year post op from my 5th rhinoplasty. Finally I am satisfied with the shape, size and fit to my face. I do not want further surgery.
I have one problem. I have an indented scar on my columella from the open incision (I had open rhino 4 times).
What types of treatments are available to fill in my indentation? The columella scar is slightly darker than my skin tone and the indentation is noticeable even when I wear concealer.
I’ve been reading that fillers, microdermabrasion and laser therapy are some available treatments.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!!!!
Los Angeles Rhinoplasty I chose Daniels, and looked at Frankel & Nassif
Disclaimer: these are my opinions only. So take it as it is.
After reading the boards, I looked at 3 surgeons to get my Primary Rhinoplasty done. I contacted 2 of them. I had surgery with Daniels.
I find many reviews on the boards lacking information that would have been helpful to me. So I tried to write reviews that would help others out. The review with Frankel tells of my consultation experience. The review with Daniels tells of my consultation, price, pre and post op experience.
I hope people can learn from these experience.
Reason Why I did not bother with making a consultation appointment with Nassif:
Looking at his website, I wasn’t impressed with his pre and post op pictures. He had a lot of patient images, but I did not see much of a difference in the pre and post. I know Nassif is great at marketing, he is on all the forums, and has video on youtube. I just didn’t see any concrete evidence that he was the surgeon for me.
So I Contacted Frankel, and did a consult with him. You can read my review here about it. I really liked him, I actually had planed on going with him, but then I wanted a 2nd opinion just for shits and giggles, and so I went to Dr. Daniels.
I chose Daniel’s over Frankel. I’m glad I did.
Finally, if you have any feedback, comments, questions. I would be happy to answer them. However I am not on these boards. I am only posting this here because when I was looking for information I could of used this information. You can find me on lunch.com/seth76

Prof Pietro Palma for Rhinoplasty
Does anybody have any experience with rhinoplasty by Prof Palma (Milan)? I’ve read that he is very good as in primary cases, as in revision by closed approach. Has his personal philosophy and technique. I have some septal deviation that compromises my breathing, so, I’d like to do functional and cosmetic parts as a one-step procedure. He is otorhino and do this job well, as I know. I have rather fine facial features and pretty thin skin. so, the open approach with all this disection and scars scare me a little bit. And I don’t want my nose to be too big after all this grafts they put so often in the nose. Actually, I’d prefer to do a closed rhinoplasty and what I’ve read, Prof Palma is one of the best in it.
I’d like to know the patients’ opinion, if there are and I do appreciate any comments and advices.

Need answers
I’m a 19 year old male looking for some answers. I broke my nose about 3 years ago and I ended up with a disproportionally large dorsal hump. I was refereed to a cosmetic surgeon in order to correct the problem. He made it look like the surgery would be no big deal, and so I went through with it. I was mostly satisfied with the result, however there had been a collapse in one side of the lateral cartilage, causing the other side to protrude unnaturally. At the time I was unaware that the protrusion was caused by a collapse, so when I pointed out the deformity to the doctor, he offered to “shave off” the “excess”. He also said that my septum needed to be straighten because it was deviated, and that some excess bone on one side of the dorsal area needed to be filed down. Again, he made it seem like those things were no big deal. So, being naive about rhinoplasties at the time, I went through with the revision. The results seemed to be satisfactory at the first, but after 6 months it became clear that the surgery had created more problems than solved, if any at all. The tip of nose lost support, resulting in it looking droopy. The nose also looks pinched now, which it never did before. At the same time, “removing the excess bone” was nothing more than scooping out dorsal area a little more. Of course, the collapsed cartilage was not addressed at all, and the deformity caused by it is just as much present.
I’m not sure what to do now.
I’ve been very depressed and angry at the fact that the second surgery had been such a failure. To recap, here are what the problems my nose is facing: collapsed lateral cartilage, pinch, lack of support at the tip and slightly scooped out dorsal area, not to mention the nose has been operated twice. Is asking to correct all those problems too much? How complex, if possible at all, would such a surgery be? I need an honest answer as to what I can hope for. At any rate, can you suggest a surgeon? I live in Toronto, but I’m ready to go anywhere in the States or Canada.
Thank you very much
Rhinoplasty in Miami?
I’ve been researching online for a little while to find a good plastic surgen for rhinoplasty in the Miami area and one that I came across that looks pretty good is Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery. I don’t know how to tell if it’s a good place to go to though, so what do you think? I think it’s a pretty good fit but I’m not sure. Here’s the link.

Dr. Paul Nassif for revision
Does anybody know if Dr.Nassif is a good choice for a reconstruction of the nose. I have an appointment for a revision with dr.Davis in two months but I’m not sure since I’ve read some bad things about him…like the way the nose collapse and the tuch up that he always have to do $$$$ and since I leave in montreal i can’t afford those tuch up and those trips. Have you heard good things about Nassif. Anyhow I will keep you update with my revision … I can’t wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( sorry for my english 
:) )

Danielle Staub’s nose – Real Housewives of New Jersey
So Bravo has been running episodes of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” non-stop in anticipation of the reunion show on Tuesday. I admit, I like the show. So many colorful personalities…and it’s fun to guess which of the wives has had a nosejob. Anyway, I’m not knocking Danielle’s personally whatsoever (after the finale, I actually have quite a bit of respect/sympathy for her), but her nose bothers the bejesus out of me. Is it just me or is her nosejob horrid? It reminds me of my nose! LOL. Short, but at the same time over-augmented! I hate, hate, hate a short nose with a high radix. The two together are an immediate sign of a nosejob. I’ve included a photo of her for those of you who have never seen the show. If this was your nose, would you go for a revision? My nose looks eerily similar (though not *as* bad as hers).
R4U forum is officially gone…
Just stopped by R4U to see what was going on, since they were supposed to close today, and I was shocked to see the site redirect to a Crystal Coves/Crystal Cruises website (note: as of June 18, 2009, the site no longer redirects to the Crystal Coves page, but instead shows a 403 server error). I had to reload the site to make sure I wasn’t mistaken. I’m so sad to see it go–not necessarily the site itself, but all of the information it had amassed over the years. Folks, let’s get that info up here. If we get decent participation, I will keep this site up as long as I have a breath in me. If you’re a former R4U visitor, such as myself, welcome, don’t be bashful to post and let’s get the ball rolling!
