In my experience, he was perfectly fine—provided you show up prepared and don't let him rush through the appointment. I spent at least 45 minutes with him; I even brought a list of questions just to stay on track, despite our thorough discussion. When I asked for photos, he went out of his way to find as many as possible. He was genuinely kind... though, I don't know, the idea of enlarging a nose just to make it look smaller doesn't exactly inspire confidence in me. I have a small face and my nose is already prominent enough. But hey, I suppose he knows his craft. He mentioned that about 60% of his cases are revisions rather than primary rhinoplasties.

Brandon Lee5 said:Anyone here actually dealt with a revision nose job? I need some real-world advice. My nose ended up looking way too small after my first surgery, and honestly, I’m at a loss for what to do next.😢

I'm looking into a revision myself, so count me in.
In some areas, they took off far too much—leaving the tip looking rather bulbous. I had a consultation with Zambell recently, and we discussed using rib cartilage for reconstruction. My specific issue is that while the nose is large, it has a saddle shape; ironically, I actually need to increase the volume just to make it look smaller visually. I have no idea how that even works out. I'm seeing Glumicic at the end of the month to get a second opinion. If anyone has navigated something similar, let me know.
