Just had a revision rhinoplasty done due to deviated previous implant done by dr. chi. Still feeling sleepy, will give you guys a full update tomorrow yeah.
Hello, I'm sorry it took me very long to give you guys an update.
I did my revision rhinoplasty on the 14th of September so it's technically four months post op as of today. For an introduction, I did my previous rhinoplasty with dr.chi. Altogether I did two procedures with him, double eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty. I really like my eyes now as they look natural and gives me the smiley puppy eye look even when I'm angry however, my implant is deviated to the right, which is very noticeable. The bridge of my nose was very low, like there's no changes to it at all, while the tip of my nose is pushed so high yet the tip area of the implant is very round. I don't know how to explain but it's really ugly. Though I gotta say he is very professional when you're consulting with him, but when I email him pictures of my slanted nose to him months later, he totally shut me off. Even when I called, the moment I mentioned about the deviation and my unsatisfaction of my implant, he hang up the phone.
I then emailed Dr.Prinya to enquire if he is able to "straighten" the implant but he was very skeptical. One moment he told me he is very confident to carve out a new implant for me and make it straight, the next moment he told me for revision of deviated implant, need to take out the old implant and can only put on a new implant after three months so as to give the nose a "break". Because he is unsure, it totally turn me off so I finally decided to have it done with Dr.Puttisak. Now, I know there have been cases in this forum whereby some of the forumers who went to him had extrusion weeks/months later but I personally feel that when you consult with him, your expectations have to be very realistic.
I had consultation with him and told him my concerns about the deviation and the shape of my implant. I told him I want my bridge to be slightly higher. As for my nose tip, I told him to reduce the height but make the tip sharp(because my previous tip was literally round).
He carved the implant right infront of me after talking to him about what I want. Then I proceed to the operating room, was given sedatives and I was asleep for the entire procedure! It took about less than an hour, I cant remember but the next thing I know is that he woke me up telling me its done. The first thing I asked Dr.Putt and his nurse was "Is it straight?". Both of them gave me a smile and said "Yes it is"
The nurse showed me the mirror and true enough, it is straight and I smiled while thanking them repeatedly. I even gave the nurse tips.
Anyway, months past and all I've gotten are compliments from my friends(who don't know I've gotten any procedures done at all) that I am getting better looking etcs. All I could do is smirk while thanking them. My mom also said that my implant is straight as compared to the previous one. From the start, my ONLY concern was whether or not my deviation can be fixed. And I'm really glad it did! My nose bridge height is very acceptable as my forehead is high while my nose tip is not stretched out far, is not very sharp, but can still see that I have a sharp nose.
The next procedure I'm gonna do is either facial and neck liposuction or buccal fat removal, whichever that is effective in getting rid of baby cheek fats.
At the end of the day, I personally believe that not every good doctor is good and not every bad doctor is bad. They all have their goods and bads job. It really depends on your expectations. Learn your facial structures, if you have long nose and sharp chin, a high and sharp implant will suit you. Compare your facial structures with celebrities or people of whom you'd like have your nose similar to. Learn if it's gonna suit you well, if not you improvised. Do your homework, you cannot just walk in and say you want a sharp and high bridge nose without knowing if it's gonna suit you or cause any extrusion in the long run.
I'm sorry I sound very naggy. Hahaha! You can pm me for more details or pictures of the old nose and now.
