Hey there. I don't know anything about him, unfortunately, but maybe someone else here will have some insight... As for why you think it isn't symmetrical—are you saying it looks slightly slanted from the front? I’m really hoping things smooth out for you soon. Fingers crossed...😉It’s been 19 days since my surgery. There’s still a bit of swelling, but it's mostly flat, so I can't really tell you much...:/
Well, alright then. I’m glad they aren't too noticeable. Honestly, thank God someone invented concealer, haha. I used to rely on it constantly just to mask my dark circles... though those have finally cleared up. It could be a few things—maybe you were just feeling under the weather, or perhaps you just have sensitive skin... As long as it isn't looking too bad, 🙂........., how are you feeling about the results so far?...
Listen, Daniel Howard11, regarding finding a decent surgeon, I think they definitely exist. From my own experience, I can tell you I was incredibly satisfied with Dr. Zelda, but she’s based out in Atlantic City. Since you're likely from Washington, D.C. 🙂, you should be able to find a top-tier surgeon there as well. Have you looked into Tony's work? I've heard quite a bit of good things about him, but beyond that, I can't really offer much more help 😢
Hey everyone, I can't speak to your experience with those broken capillaries, but I know a girl who deals with them on her nose. From what I understand, laser treatments can clear them right up. You should probably run it by a doctor first... 🙂
I suppose everyone feels pretty rough at first because of the swelling—it’s still a major surgery, after all. I’m glad to hear you’re starting to turn a corner; you’ll see, everything will eventually settle down and be just fine😉. It probably varies from person to person, too. For me, two weeks have passed and while the swelling hasn't fully gone down, it isn't overwhelming... though it’s still painful to the touch, which is perfectly normal... but things are looking up. My initial recovery was definitely the hardest part... wasn't it? 🙂
I don’t have kids, but if I were you, I’d watch your step so you don't accidentally take a hit from them. Honestly, I managed to bruise myself just yesterday while trying to pull on a shirt... and man, that pain... that's what you really have to guard against, especially during those first few weeks...
The lodging is included in the cost, but honestly, it’s just one night before heading home the next morning. I assume the price fluctuates depending on which specialist you see, though I have no clue what their specific criteria are... probably just how complicated the procedure turns out to be. Anyway, how are you finding your brace so far?
Yeah, honestly, he was just the most convenient option for me. Plus, since I’d already seen him for my breast augmentation, I was already sold on his whole approach and the way he talks... you know that feeling when you realize you can actually trust someone? Anyway, I don't regret spending that money at all because he went above and beyond what was originally planned... so, how much did you end up paying?
So now you're up to speed on the doctor too,🙂...Yeah, honestly, during those first couple of days he seemed a little more prickly, but that was just because of the swelling. Everything is looking better and better now... Don't mention it. 😉
So, I went to see Dr. Žgaljardić up in Santa Barbara. I can't speak for everyone else, but he was incredibly kind. He understood exactly what I was looking for right from the jump. Honestly, when I actually showed up for the surgery, I wasn't even nervous... not even a little bit. The entire medical team is top-notch. I felt so at home that I almost felt bad leaving once everything was wrapped up, haha. As far as the pain goes, I didn't feel anything during the procedure. The only thing was feeling a bit groggy for a few days—probably just the anesthesia wearing off. About eight days later, he removed the cast and the nasal packing, then I just had some bandages on my nose for another three days. It’s still (naturally) a little tender to the touch and slightly swollen. Based on my experience, I’d do it all over again without hesitation... if you have any other questions, let me know. 🙂
Hey everyone, I’m new here, so I wanted to drop in, say hello, and wish you all a very happy holiday season. As for me, I had my rhinoplasty about two weeks ago, and honestly, I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. My biggest fear was how the profile would look from the front, but it ended up looking exactly how I envisioned... so I truly believe you'll all find peace with your own results too. 😉
