Has anyone here had any experience working with Ivo Dzepina or Bojan Ignatovski?

An aesthetician once told me my nasal bridges look different because my rhinoplasty surgeon removed some cartilage (which is why there's that tiny little indentation). I don't really know much about the technical side of things, so I honestly can't say for sure.
But the doctor did mention that I could take some fat from another area and have it injected there to help even out the bridges.🕺

Your profile is fine, and if you just need a simple tip correction, you could probably find someone locally without having to travel to the big specialty clinics. In your case, we're talking about a revision surgery, so choosing the right surgeon is huge. You really need to sleep on it before deciding who to go to, because every revision carries more risk, and if you end up with an unskilled surgeon—which some private practices definitely are—it can lead to disastrous results for your whole face, even if the rest of your nose is straight.

You need a surgeon who has seen a massive amount of patients under their knife, and more importantly, a surgeon whose patients are actually happy. You don't really know anything about these specific doctors yet, because as you mentioned, their websites don't show many photos that would actually help you decide. So, you can't really judge them based on what's online. And don't get me started on surgeons who refuse to show before-and-after photos, claiming it's just "clinic policy." Run away from those people immediately. From what I've heard, Glumičić, Zambelli, and a few others usually show examples that are very similar to your own nose shape. If they won't show you work, just move on. I'm not sure if the staff showed you anything previously, but usually, the response is just, "It's on our website." They do have work posted, but it's mostly very minor stuff, like just smoothing out a profile.

...I'd stay far away from Ostojić. There are stories of girls wanting to end it all because of him, and one girl actually did. In that specific instance, it was about fillers where he injected way too much, causing her face and lips to become completely disfigured.

Kinčl and Veir are plastic surgeons, and I honestly don't see what they could offer when it comes specifically to refining the tip of the nose. It's also a bit confusing why certain surgeons keep popping up in this discussion when there are entire other subforums dedicated to breast augmentations and liposuction.

I personally think Glumičić does a great job finishing the look. It seems to me like he doesn't just lift and shorten the nose, but he actually narrows the width too. Regardless of what some people on this forum claim—that he just lifts, shortens, and uses a cookie-cutter approach—if you look at all the models who have gone to him—women whose entire careers depend on highly visible features like their nose—I don't think any of them ended up with a worse nose after the procedure.

Yeah, I really want to shorten the tip and even out the nostrils too (just to fill in that little notch).
Here are some photos from a different angle so you can actually see how massive the tip and nostrils look—it honestly looks pretty bad right now.

It looks like I might end up going with Glumičić after all. Does anyone happen to know what the total cost for the surgery is, and does that include the hospital stay?

briskmason42 said:I’m dealing with the exact same thing—wide, uneven nostrils and a bulbous tip. How long ago was your surgery? Do you have any specific surgeons in mind, like Zoran Veir, Zambelli, or Davor Džepina? Definitely be careful with your choice this time.

It's been 18 months since my surgery.
Here are some photos so you can see how much I hate my nose right now.

Since I don't live in the States, making the right call is way harder because I can't just pop in for a consultation or look at plenty of before-and-after shots in person.
Miroslav Klincl doesn't have any photos on his website, and while Bojan Ignatovski and Ostojic seem okay, they're pretty pricey.
I just checked Zambelli's site and his work looks alright too. But Davor Džepina and Zoran Veir don't have any galleries posted. I'm honestly stuck because everyone shows off their profile shots, but I can't find anyone showing actual tip corrections anywhere.
This doctor also seems decent, take a look here: http://www.dr-vukasin-rhinoplasty.co...id=2&Itemid=41
Plus, he isn't nearly as expensive—only $1,200 (whereas Ostojic and the others are closer to $2,000).
Where did you go for your revision, and are you happy with the results now?

edit: I just read elsewhere that Ostojic is mainly good for profile work, which isn't really my priority. 😢 Actually, Glumicic does better work on the tip.
Who do you think I should go with🕺?

Hi everyone! I’m a patient from North Mexico, so please excuse my imperfect English. I recently had rhinoplasty done, and honestly, I’m pretty unhappy with the results. My nasal tip looks too bulbous, my nostrils feel way too wide, they aren't even symmetrical—one sits higher than the other—and I even have this tiny little pit on my nose that showed up after the surgery. 😢
Can anyone recommend the best cosmetic surgeon for noses in the US? I looked into Glumicic, but looking at the before and after photos, I just didn't love the style.
I’ve also heard some great things about Miroslav Kincl, Ostojic, and Bojan Ignatovski.
In your opinion, who is the absolute best? I would really appreciate any advice because this means so much to me. Thanks! 🙂
