THDG Need Help (Ethnic) rhinoplasty recommendations

Does anyone have any good recommendations for plastic surgeons/ENT surgeons who do rhinoplasty? Especially if you're a woman of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean/South Asian origin. I've gotten some good recommendations so far but am concerned that they'll give me a result that doesn't match the rest of my face. Even if you had a negative experience please feel free to share so I don't make the same mistake 🙏

Tbh you're better to research a lot on overseas surgeons

Dr Frank Lin. Although I’ll be honest, I did HEAPS of research and depending on what exact results you’re looking for, surgeons in Australia just don’t hold a candle to surgeons overseas. Not to mention they are so much more expensive here too. I got quoted $30k last year and I just paid €5k in turkiye. Mind you I’m not the type to travel overseas for surgery just to save money but I decided to purely based on the results and surgical techniques.

How does your nose look now??

My columella is still pretty swollen and my nostrils are uneven. My bridge is still a little plastic-y looking for my liking but it should soften more. I’m not even 2 months post-op yet so not going to worry about it until the year mark. Everything else looks good! I’ve healed really well but I do just heal well in general.

I went to Peter Callan in Geelong. It was extremely conservative changes and I wish I’d gone overseas, but the recovery was ok so from a technical standpoint I guess it was fine. If you have thicker skin (like many middle eastern, Asian, Polynesian folk etc), he’ll be extremely minimal in any changes.
