Dr. Bader, David Kim or Katrib?
For people familiar with revision rhinoplasty surgeons who would you trust more for this type of case: David Kim, Brad Bader, or Katrib?
I’m looking for more of a restorative/natural revision to restore previous features. My primary surgery left me feeling over-operated on and I’m trying to find someone who understands facial harmony and preservation.
My concerns/goals are:
-reversing overly aggressive osteotomies/narrowing
-widening a pinched or over-resected tip. My face looks better with a wider nose like I had naturally.
-restoring softness/flexibility to the tip
-improving nostril tension/stiffness and contour. My old nostrils had soft look to them now they look tight and triangular in shape. (No alarplasty done).
-correcting an over-rotated/high columella look
-avoiding a “done” look and getting closer to my original anatomy
If you’ve consulted or operated with any of them, who do you think is strongest for this type of revision specifically?
I’ve seen Bader restore and produce fuller tips on those who had too much cartilage resection but I have not seen him do anything else besides that like augment dorsal bridge. I’ve seen David Kim’s work and he has done good tip work as well as dorsal augmentation. Katrib has good work too but I notice his bridges look boxier. Which I do not mind widening my lateral osteotomies if he was able to give me soft dorsal lines.
Would also appreciate hearing if any of them tend to push a certain aesthetic or if one is more conservative/restorative than the others.
Would genuinely appreciate honest opinions/experiences or other suggestions:))
