“Sharp & Stunning!” Grace Sanda’s Open Revision Rhinoplasty Review

When talking about a beauty pageant contestant like Grace Zanda, the nose is absolutely no joke. Because just a slight change in the nose can noticeably transform the entire face. Especially for someone who has to be on stage, take photos, or face the cameras from almost every angle, the nose must look beautiful from the front, the side, and most importantly, it must perfectly fit one’s own face.

And this is the reason why Grace Zanda decided to come back for a rhinoplasty revision once again at The SiB Plastic Surgery.

From “Once Projected” to Why It Dropped Over Time?

Let me explain first that I had a rhinoplasty before. In the beginning, the shape still looked projected and beautiful, but as time passed, I started to feel that my nose wasn’t the same. The nasal bridge had a curve but didn’t project the way I wanted. The tip also started to droop steadily. The inner central axis was also crooked, which made the overall look of the nose feel unbalanced with my face.

This Rhinoplasty Revision, I Want a Total Change! Why Choose The SiB?

Revising a nose for someone who has already had it done and has existing structural issues requires much more detailed planning. My goal this time was very clear: “I want the nose to be smaller, but the tip must be projected, and I want my face to look completely transformed.” I didn’t just want it to be high or only beautiful at first, but I wanted a shape that complemented my overall face and actually solved the functional issues too.

After researching information and looking at many review cases, I decided to choose The SiB Plastic Surgery. I really loved the work of Dr. Darin (Dr. Darin Muangthai, Specialized Plastic Surgeon, Medical License 27751). Her nose shapes look beautiful and defined, yet they still maintain the softness of the face. For someone in the pageant industry, this is crucial because after it’s done, it has to be “practically usable.” The nose must complement the face from multiple angles, not just look beautiful from the side or the front.

Why Is an Open Rhinoplasty Revision Necessary?

Many people might wonder how an Open Rhinoplasty Revision differs from standard rhinoplasty. The Open technique allows the doctor to fully see the internal structure of the nose. This is suitable for cases that require structural correction or have complex issues like mine—including a crooked nose, drooping tip, deformed original structure, and a history of previous surgeries.

This time, we weren’t just looking at what new material to put in, but the doctor had to manage multiple parts of the original structure simultaneously. This included restructuring, altering the axis, breaking the nasal bones, and adjusting the tip to project upwards to achieve the desired new shape. The doctor analyzed my existing structural problems very meticulously before planning the surgery.

The Results This Time: “Smaller, but More Projected”, Stunning Pageant Style

What I love the most after the rhinoplasty revision is that my nose looks smaller, but the tip is actually more projected than before! I can see a very clear difference here. Because sometimes, making a nose look prominent doesn’t always mean increasing its size or thickness. It requires considering the bridge width, length, tip position, and the overall proportions with the face. Once the doctor adjusted these elements to harmonize with each other, the nose looked sharper and more defined without needing to look big.

From Lacking Confidence in Photos to Being Ready to Fight for the Crown 👑

Another highly noticeable change after the rhinoplasty revision is my confidence. From previously worrying about a crooked bridge, a downward-pointing tip, and an undesirable shape, my feelings have completely shifted now. Not only is my nose more beautiful, but my overall face has transformed as well. I’m more confident taking photos, makeup is fun again, and most importantly, I’m ready to return to what I love: beauty pageants. I can tell you right now, “I’m ready to fight for the crown!” Ending it like a true queen!

At The SiB Plastic Surgery, Dr. Darin always prioritizes analyzing the original structure before planning the surgery. This ensures the correction addresses both the desired shape and facial balance. For anyone currently struggling with a deviated, crooked, drooping, downturned, or unprojected nose, or if you’ve had surgery before and still aren’t satisfied, I recommend coming in for a consultation to evaluate your nasal structure first. Because the most beautiful nose doesn’t have to be the highest one, but it must complement your face, look balanced, and be the right fit for you.
