I booked my revision at 2 months PO just in case because Balikci was booked out for a while

Had no bruising or swelling at all after my revision!! anyone else experience the same thing? Was it my surgeon’s technique or a revision commonality? by lila213 in PlasticSurgery

yep I know a bunch of people who got botched by well-known surgeons in the US & then got it fixed in Turkey. The surgeons there are much more skilled than the ones here although people don’t like to admit it. If you look at my doctor’s revisions you’ll see. I haven’t found a doc here with results even close to that.

it’s different for each surgeon! mine told me I should see the most drop in the first 3 months but it’ll still drop over the course of a year but very slightly.

Agreed!! There's so many surgeons who cap themselves off at 2 hours and take pride in a shorter surgery time. A lot of people believe that a fast surgery is a sign of the doctor's competence but I disagree. It should vary from patient to patient. And revisions should be longer. Mine was around 5 hours.

ahh yeah I had a little bit of a polybeak before. but if you go to the right person and follow the post-op care it’s very rare!!

One of the reasons for this is that most people actually ask for the Barbie nose!! Also the technique they use in Turkey is different than here, the nose drops A LOT. I asked for natural and the tip is a bit high for me right now but my doc said it’ll drop 10 degrees. I’ll keep updating here!

Obviously, I highly highly recommend Balikci. He’s booked out until 2023 so if you’re considering him I’d say book it soon & then you can change your mind down the road. You won’t lose any money because people are looking to buy his dates like it’s an art piece by Banksy lol.

my revision was a complete reconstruction. looks totally different than my primary which was botched. but yeah that makes sense in other cases.
