Anyway, here goes. They did the mold removal today (which was the part I was actually dreading)... and honestly, it didn't hurt AT ALL. They use this large applicator tool, coat it in something like petroleum jelly, and just gently slide it under the plastic to separate everything. Truly painless...
That said, I look pretty rough. I actually started crying on the drive home :P I'm all swollen and bloated—honestly, I look like a total mess right now. It's not pretty...

On a side note, if you don't mind me wandering off... I had my ear done too, and they took the bandages off today. The result is fine, I guess, but it’s not EXACTLY what I was aiming for. Is there any chance the doctor might tweak it a little more without charging me an extra fee? -.-

Who was your surgeon, and what did the whole thing run you?

Nicholas Castillo19 said:I’d also suggest seeing Dr. Muntić over at the MM Plastic Surgery Clinic. I had my procedure there about a month ago, and honestly, I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out—especially considering the price. They’re running this great summer special on rhinoplasty right now. My recovery was surprisingly quick; I’ve already been out walking around town for two weeks feeling pretty good about myself.

What’s the actual damage with this summer special? Looking at their website, the prices seem standard, if not a little higher than most other places...

Amy Cox82 said:Has anyone here actually had surgery at the Indianapolis Clinic with Dr. Šoša? If they do good work there, I’d much rather just go with them. It would be a lot easier since I live nearby. I’m not sure what your experiences have been, but the idea of traveling long distances right after surgery sounds exhausting.

I'm in the same boat. I actually posted a similar question a while back, but clearly, nobody here has used him, or maybe we just don't have any patients on this forum. From what I gather, the clinic is relatively new—maybe two years old. I know the doctor used to work as an ENT over at the Mayo Clinic, but I have no clue how much experience he actually has specifically with rhinoplasty. He doesn't seem to have any before-and-after photos posted online either, though maybe he shows them during consultations. Anyway, if you find out anything, Amy Cox82, please let me know. 🙂

It looks really impressive. I’m thinking about booking an appointment with Dr. Tony Soprano, though I might also check out Dr. D'Amico. Word on the street is that he’s excellent, but I haven't actually seen any of his work yet, so I'm still a little hesitant. 🙂

Hey there. If you've got any photos, could you send them over? Specifically, I’d love to see a before-and-after shot regarding the surgery if you have one. Thanks. (igorjur7@gmail.com)

dustyheron102 said:I underwent both cosmetic and functional surgery with Dr. Tony Bennett this month, and honestly, I couldn't be happier with the results. I was dealing with a significant hump and a severe deviated septum, but the doctor did an incredible job—he actually performed the surgery just a day after my initial consultation. The procedure itself was painless since they used local anesthesia. Afterward, the pain was negligible, mostly just some stinging. The hardest part was definitely the discomfort from the nasal packing, along with some eye irritation and a few restless nights. Even so, looking back, it was absolutely worth it. I’m just counting down the two months until I'm fully recovered and my nose looks perfect. Huge thanks to Dr. Tony Bennett and his team; they are consummate professionals and incredibly kind.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the total cost for everything? Also, did you feel any congestion while you were under the anesthesia, or could you hear anything at all during the procedure? I'm really glad to hear things went so well for you...

I heard that Mirko had his surgery done by Dr. Vladimir Bedekovic. Does anyone here have any firsthand experience with the Osijek Clinic or working with Dr. Darie Sos?

Quick question for rapidfalcon39: did your surgery involve reducing the tip of your nose at all, or was it just about smoothing out that hump like you mentioned? Also, if you don't mind me asking, what did it end up costing you? Thanks for the help.
Best,

Hey there. I was wondering if anyone here has actually seen Dr. Dennis over in St. Louis for rhinoplasty? Does he even perform those kinds of procedures, and if so, what’s the consensus on his work? Thanks.
