Hello everybody;
Hope you are all doing great...
I do have a short nose; do you think Dr.T will be the best way to go?
Thanks

Chris K,
Maybe you have already mentioned this somewhere on the forum, but may I ask you, with you did you have your last (unexpectedly SUCCESSFUL) rhino revision?
Many thanks!

He had his last successful rev rhino with Guyuron.
NOTICE:
I'm having COMPUTER PROBLEMS and can hardly get on the internet or get to my e-mail. It's taken me like 6 hours just today to try to post this message. So, no e-mails or PMs to me until I can remove this message. I have no idea what the problem is. It started with Google Chrome not loading any pages for me. TT helped to uninstall but ran out of time and it would not re-install. CAn't explain the computer problem other than to say I'ts hard for me to access the net or my site.

He has lots of posts on here about his Guyron rev rhino. Think he did it in stages--like one time 'this' and the next 'that' sort of deal.

For the record:
I have had 3 nose surgeries with Guyuron. 4 surgeries in total including my last sliding genioplasty.
my first rhinoplasty with Guyuron was after 6 'failed' rhinoplasties with previous surgeons. I was more than happy after after my first surgery with him. At my two month post op visit, he recommended "a mm of cartilage to the tip". he offered this at no charge. last summer, before my sliding genio, he said it looked great, but thought my columella could be raised a mm. he said it was NOT worth a surgery unless I wanted to proceed. of course my desire for perfection would not allow me to pass on this surgery - again no charge. that was my last nose surgery with Guyuron to date. i do not plan on having any more nose jobs at this time. now that Flowers is retiring, I will only let Guyuron touch my face.

you deserve perfection after wanting it so much. The thing is that you have also been unlucky.. Without noticing you get tangled in this vicious circle created by bad performing (and liars - because they promise what they cannot do) doctors.
Do you have pictures anywhere on the forum/ other forum? I am dying of curiosity :D

I have posted pics before here but am not posting any right now. what you need to do, anita, is go on consults and see who is right for anita.

do you know if the doctors cut along the same incision line all 4 times that your nose was opened? and is there any way i could see your pictures? :)

hi nora-i also went to Guyuron. to answer question re: functional, yes. in my case, deviated septum and enlarged turbinates on left side. i am just over 3 mos. post-op and breathing is wonderful. my breathing had NOT been a problem, or at very least i'd lived with situation so long i didn't know any better, that breathing could be better. now breathing is even better than before, i'm probably breathing more than my fair share i'm breathing so well. ;0
anyway-took a while. this was primary rhino/sept/turb and for first long while felt as if nose was filled with cement-was wondering wth?! just a bit, i confess. now all good.
