CCKCCK 0 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hey! I've been looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon for quite a while, Dr. Andrew Greensmith seems is the best in Melbourne, If anyone who had surgery with Dr. Andrew could share your experience and some before and after photos, I will really appreciate it! I come from an Asian background so it has been really difficult for me to find a surgeon who is familiar with Asian nose! I'm going to have my consultation tomorrow, if anyone is interested I will absolutely keep you updated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCKCCK 0 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Thought a consultation will clear out all the concerns but actually made me more confused...my nose doesn't have huge problems(thin bridge, slightly droopy tip) so I'm expecting a more cost effective surgery, relatively easy recovery to reshape my tip rather than lift it by much. I'm more concern with the front view rather than the side profile but still my asian background means I potentially don't have enough septal cartilage to harvest. Dr was very nice and provided me with a lot of information. But I guess I didn't walk in expecting likely rib cartilage + 1 night hospital stay + $23000 fee. and I'm worried if I somehow need a revision because of ageing or other reasons, I don't have any material left to harvest... Very tough decision to make because you will never know until you get it done to tell if the result worth all the cost and pain... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aca 0 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 hi CCKCCK, Did you end up getting the rhinoplasty? I'm looking into a consult with Dr Greensmith, did you find his prices reasonable ($23000 is quite hefty!). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HateMyNose 1 Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 He is a skilled surgeon who has a great reputation among the surgical community. One thing to think about though is that he doesnt purely focus on noses and does a fair bit of body work. I also noted that on the day of my surgery, I was one of at least 4 patients being operated on. My results are acceptable, but probably not worth the cost or the recovery in my opinion. I am looking for a revision. If you do decide to go ahead, you must explain everything that you want changed and what you do NOT want changed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HateMyNose 1 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 There are days that I really regret my decision and hate my nose. Hopefully I am just that small percentage of unlucky ones who get an undesirable result. If anyone had had a successful follow up revision with AG, would love to know.
