To top it off, the nursing staff was perfectly professional; everyone there was truly wonderful. As for the results? Let's just say they were excellent.🙂 It comes down to the surgeon’s skill—period. It doesn't matter if they're practicing at a major hospital or running a private clinic. I learned that the hard way. My first experience was with a private specialist; I paid an absolute fortune only to end up with a total disaster. Meanwhile, I didn't pay a dime extra for the doctor at the municipal hospital, and I walked away with a perfect nose. There you have it.

Which hospital did you have the surgery at?

Look, you really need to schedule an appointment and sit down with the doctor—actually talk to them. Ask if they can handle the cosmetic side of things too. Mention who referred you and request that they perform the aesthetic work alongside the functional repair. If you play it that way, they’ll likely just note that since you had a nasal fracture, there's every reason to fix the aesthetics at the same time. 😁😁 At least that was my experience.

By the way, I’m heading back in for surgery tomorrow—and I’m planning to check in on Taylor Miller10 while I'm at it. 😁 I can't wait—honestly. I’m just looking forward to finally being able to catch my breath. Sending love to everyone. 😍

Does anyone know the current wait times for nose surgery at Mount Sinai?

Roughly what's the price range at Dr. Dzepina's office?

By the way—does the full payment have to be made upfront, or is there some other way to handle it?

You took the words right out of my mouth—how much do your consultations cost?

I agree that everyone has different preferences; for instance, my husband never even noticed I had a large nose until I pointed it out—though perhaps he was just looking elsewhere 😂 .
To me, my nose looks completely out of proportion with my face. I feel like any surgeon could fix it to look much better, but functionality is a major concern for me, and I haven't quite decided which doctor to go to yet... Plus, I feel like my nose has actually grown over the last few years. Has anyone else experienced this?

I read somewhere that noses and ears actually continue to grow as we age.

Well, from what I saw... he told me he’d work on the top part because it looks absolutely pathetic. I can send details via DM if anyone's actually interested.

Can you send that over to me? Thanks!

REVIEW TIME!
I am 1,000,000% more terrified than I was the first time—wish me luck... 🙂

GOOD LUCK! Who are you seeing? I’ll most likely be heading to see Glusac toward the end of summer.

Does anyone happen to know... if Dr. Glusac operates on that muscle above the lip?
