Rhinoplasty for Breathing Problems and Asymmetry

Posted by

Rhinoplasty

Dr. is a phenomenal surgeon. He made me feel very comfortable when I had my consultation. He listened to my goals and also gave me his expert opinion. His experience and great reputation put me at ease to have rhinoplasty. Now I am so happy about the results of my surgery. I was so impressed by both his professionalism and his ability to be so personable. He really listened to me and was also excited about my surgery and the outcome he anticipated. It was a wonderful experience!

Rhinoplasty

I wanted to make sure that I properly researched which doctor I wanted to visit and decided that Dr. Cochran was the choice hands down. I was very nervous going in, and left feeling very comfortable about the procedure. I was surprised and amazed at how simple and affordable everything was and scheduled my surgery for the following month. Let me also say that you aren't going to find another doctor who cares more about his patients. It's a pleasure to have been under his care as it's obvious this isn't just a job for him, it's his passion! I'm thrilled with the results and ever thankful to Dr. C and the awesome staff at the Gunter Center! Thanks so much for changing my life!

Would Not Change A Thing - Dallas, TX

Rhinoplasty

As a physician, I thought long and hard about the risks of having an "elective" procedure. I have had breathing issues since I was a child, and recently began having dental issues as a result. When I decided to have these fixed, along with some cosmetic fixes, I did my research. I knew that Dr. Gunter was "The Nose Man" in Dallas, but after looking at pictures, I preferred the style/aesthetics that Dr. Cochran achieved. After meeting him, he convinced me that he could accomplish the result I was looking for. The result has been amazing.

Talented and Caring - the Best!

Rhinoplasty

Dr. C has done a wonderful job finding out exactly what I wanted and what would go well with my face. I had a wonderful experience at the surgery facility used. Everything has been so technologically advanced from the 3d simulations to the techniques Dr. C used to correct all my nasal issues. The best thing about this Doctor and office is that they have been so responsive anytime I have had questions or concerns. When I call to speak to Jane (the nurse) she always answers my question and offers to schedule an appointment for me to see Dr.C. They never make you feel like it's an inconvenience and I really appreciate that. I would recommend Dr. C to anyone interested in nose surgery. He is so competent and by far the most sincere doctor I have ever worked with. He is so kind and caring and genuinely excited about the results.

Dr. C Was Worth the 6 Hour Drive - Dallas, TX

Rhinoplasty

Dr. C was fantastic, he did a wonderful job. My only regret is that I did not have this done years ago. He was the surgeon for my rhinoplasty and I also had him pin my ears back. I am so pleased with the outcome, it has been only 4 weeks and I feel very comfortable being out in public. Honestly, I was going out to eat less than two weeks post-op and I felt comfortable. His bedside manner was great and I love the fact that their office has 3D technology. You are able to get a really good idea of what your nose will look like after surgery (especially from the profile). I found this helps me communicate with Dr. C so much better. His staff is very professional and responsive. I had a question, so I emailed the staff late one night. Dr C called me the next morning to answer my questions. If there was anyone that was thinking about getting this procedure done, I would recommend getting a consultation with Dr. C. We drove about 6 hours to have him do this, I would have driven much further (you don't want to get on a plane the day after surgery). All I have to say is thank you so much Dr. C, you have given me a new sense of confidence that I have not had before.

Two Weeks Post-op - Dallas, TX

Posted by

First off, I just want to say Dr. Cochran had the best bed side manner I have ever experienced. I did extensive research after deciding to go through with my rhinoplasty/septoplasty and decided to go with Dr. C the minute after leaving the consultation. He took the time to answer all of my questions and even used software to show me what the results would look like. I am 2 weeks postop tomorrow and still very swollen but am beginning to see the shape of my new nose and am so very excited for time to fly by so I can see the final result. It just keeps getting better everyday. The best part of my experience was being able to hear the excitement in Dr. Cochran's voice as he walked into my room post op and told me how great the surgery went. That immediately provided me a comfort that no one else could at that time. I highly recommend him for anyone contemplating rhinoplasty. Remember you get what you pay for and since the nose is the center of your face I definitely recommend doing your research. Dr. Cochran is worth every penny and even though I know I won't have to (because I am COMPLETELY satisfied) I would go to him again in a heart beat. I will be starting a blog at my four month post op that will include weekly photos to show everyone the swelling/bruising process!

Revision Rhinoplasty

Dr. listened carefully to what I wanted. Revision rhinoplasties are obviously more complicated than first-time procedures, and I did a lot of research to make sure I had the best surgeon. I'm so glad Dr. C was within driving distance, although it would have been worth a plane flight to see him.

Revision rhinoplasty is much more complicated than primary rhinoplasty so I knew I needed a very experienced and skilled doctor. After researching and consulting with Dr. C, I was confident I had found the right surgeon. I am beyond thrilled with my results, he definitely exceeded my expectations! Not only is he a phenomenal surgeon but he truly is an artist and I have never met a doctor with a better bedside manner. He is a very compassionate and attentive doctor! My entire experience with Dr. C himself, his staff, and the team of doctors and nurses at the surgical center was wonderful! I cannot say enough great things about this surgeon and recommend him to everyone!

He was professional, polite and pleasant. He took time to answer all my questions and never made me feel rushed. Before the surgery, I was shown what my nose was likely to look like after the procedure, so I went into the surgery with a rough idea of what the end result would be. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering a rhinoplasty.

He's one of the best in his field, and his bedside manner is unbeatable. He truly is a great doctor. He treats surgery and your nose as if it were a piece of art he was creating--amazing! He's also very good at describing complex medical things in a way that you can easily understand. He is probably the best doctor I've ever worked with. The patient care team (Nurse Jane and Patient Coordinator Lisa) were also very, very helpful in working with me and answering every question I had. It was truly a great experience, and I doubt another plastic surgeon knows noses as well as Dr. C!

I did a lot of research and went to several doctors before choosing Dr. Cochran for my rhinoplasty. He was actually recommended to me by another plastic surgeon. I hadn't felt comfortable with any doctor until I met him. He was confident and very reassuring. He completely put me at ease. I was not even nervous before the surgery because I had so much confidence in him. His nurse, Jane, was great and answered all my emails quickly. His office definitely makes you feel like they are there for you anytime you have questions or concerns. It's been 6 weeks since my surgery and I love my new nose. It's perfect for my face. I would highly recommend Dr. Cochran to anyone considering rhinoplasty.

My PS and his clinic were amazing. I felt very comfortable (and yes excited too) after meeting with him. Being 1.5 months out, people say they cant tell I had anything done - like it doesnt look like I had a "nose job" and litrally gush over how good it looks. I was a little high maintenance at times because I couldnt decide whether to go the insurance route or pay cash (I also had a deviated septum repair) and his office was very patient with my indecisiveness. I did not wait forever the morning of surgery to actually go into surgery either. I love that Dr C only does noses too. He is very good.

Revision Rhinoplasty - Dallas, TX

A couple years ago I had a rhinoplasty with another surgeon in the Dallas area. I was very unsatisfied with the result and regretted allowing this surgeon to revise my nose several times after the initial surgery. After realizing that I needed another surgery, I decided to really do my research. I decided to meet with Dr. Cochran at the renowned Gunter Center. He was like a breath of fresh air. He was patient and even met with me several times before my surgery. Immediately after the operation, even with the cast on my face, I could tell how beautiful my nose would be. I am now 2 months post op and my nose is exceeding my expectations. Dr. C is truly an artist of the face and has a caring, patient, and attentive nature unknown to many doctors today. If you're having work done on your face, you want an expert. Dr. C is the person to trust, he is worth every penny!

Dr Spencer Cochran Revision Rhinoplasty - Extraordinary Surgeon!! - Dallas, TX

Posted by

Dr Spencer Cochran is an extraordinary surgeon!!! I would highly recommend Dr Cochran to anyone who is considering rhinoplasty. Just have a consultation. My only regret is that I did not have Dr Cochran perform my original rhinoplasty. My sister and I were looking for a revision rhinoplasty surgeon as we had had two consultations previously both in Australia and the States, but did not feel 100% comfortable to proceed with surgery. We had given up finding the best surgeon for us. Occasionally I would search the internet for revision rhinoplasty surgeons. Late December 2012 I chanced upon an out-dated forum discussing revision rhinoplasty which Dr Cochran’s name was mentioned throughout. I searched and read every review about Dr Spencer Cochran to current and I discovered his patients could not speak more highly of him. Although I hoped that all reviews were genuine I also remained sceptical as they are all positive and did not wish to get my hopes up. What I liked and valued the utmost in my research is the fact that Dr Spencer Cochran only performs rhinoplasty surgery, is Board Certified and his background as a nasal surgery specialist. I decided to proceed with an internet consultation which was thoroughly explained on The Gunter Center’s website. Two days later I received my internet consultation which stated that I would be a candidate for rhinoplasty revision surgery but needed an in person consultation with 3D imaging before surgery. I was also pleasantly surprised about the quote I received from Dr Cochran’s office. I understand to perform a revision rhinoplasty is more expensive than an original rhinoplasty as it is a more complicated operation. Compared to what I paid in Australia to the States, especially with Dr Cochran’s experience and reputation, the facilities and staff at the Texas Institute for Surgery there was hardly any difference in cost which surprised me as I assumed that it would be considerably more expensive. I travelled from Australia to Dallas (a long flight but definitely worth it) and the next day had 3D imaging and an in person consultation with Dr Cochran. I thought if I was not 110% satisfied with Dr Cochran then I would have a holiday and not proceed with the surgery even if I could not receive a refund. However, Dr Cochran is the nicest person you could meet. He is extremely professional, personable, kind, caring, compassionate and polite. Dr Cochran never rushed us during our consultations and made us both feel totally at ease immediately. Dr Cochran really listens to what you have to say and also asked questions to gain an understanding of what I did not like about my nose. He also provided his expert opinion and used the 3D imaging to demonstrate before and after photos and also provided a copy of before and after from various views and also an enlarged side view to literally demonstrate the changes. Dr Cochran is an extremely approachable person and also realistic with rhinoplasty (creates a nose that fits your face which complements your features, not someone having a large roman nose to a small button nose) stated during the consultation that he would stay in the operating theatre as long as required in order to achieve the best result. He is not a surgeon who has an allocated time of one hour and then rushes to be finished in time. Dr Cochran is extremely passionate about what he does and it shows!! Dr Cochran was very thorough in explaining medical terms and what I could expect before, during and after surgery. Dr Cochran also advised that if I had any questions before surgery which was two days later to contact the office and he would speak to me or fit me in before then and also advised that I could also speak to him before surgery. The Gunter Centre’s staff were fantastic, very informative and helpful; especially Marilyn, Jan and Jane who ensured our consultations, follow-up appointments, queries and surgeries went smoothly. The Texas Institute for Surgery is outstanding. From having our blood taken (Thanks to Rochelle, Nancy, Cydell and Barbara), to registering and admittance paperwork on the day of surgery (Thanks Gina G) and also the lovely nurses and anaesthetist (Thanks Brad P, Susan, Steve, Meg, Nancy, Sharyn, Janet and Lesley) and staff (Ann). Whilst talking to staff at the Texas Institute for Surgery, they all advised that Dr Cochran has patients from all over the world that come and have surgery there. I thought that the majority of people would think that we were weird for travelling all the way from Australia just to see Dr Cochran. Dr Spencer Cochran has the BEST bedside manner of any doctor/surgeon I have met. After surgery (when he spoke to my sister), at my follow up appointment for splint and suture removal, and on the day of my sister’s surgery, Dr Cochran was genuinely excited about the outcome of my rhinoplasty and the fact that the swelling had subsided considerably and also what it would look like in the future. Dr Cochran treats patients like they are people instead of dollars.

Please, also keep in mind that you will need an EKG if you are over 40.

I actually found Dr. Cochran on realself.com. I submitted an internet consultation, he said I was a good candidate for revision rhinoplasty and I went ahead and made an appointment to see him. He was very friendly, open and most importantly, knowledgeable about surgery on the nose. He understood what areas of my nose I disliked like the nostril flare, the indentation on the bridge and the projection of the tip. He listened carefully and gave very sound options and advice and was careful not to persuade me in any direction on the personal goals for the outcome of my nose, especially since revision rhinoplasty can be tricky when dealing with scar tissue.

Revision Rhinoplasty

After going through a less than satisfactory primary rhinoplasty three years ago, I started the quest for a revision rhinoplasty surgeon. It took hours and hours of research along with numerous consultations to find the right person - Dr. Cochran. He and his whole team at the Gunter Center are amazing! When I first learned of Dr. Cochran I started reading the reviews, and they were all positive. That initially got me suspicious. Nobody is THAT good, I thought. But hey, I also figured it was worth a consultation and see for myself. The consultation took between 1-1.5 hours, included 3D imaging (DON’T have surgery without one), a thorough exam of my nose and lots of information sharing. Dr. Cochran was patient, caring and was incredibly specific. The approach was: lets work together on what you want your nose to look like, then we’ll talk about how we can make it happen. After returning back home to Bermuda, knowing I had found my guy, surgery was booked.

I was very pleased with my visits to Dr. Cochrans office everyone was so nice. All my questions were answered .I knew wat to do,what to expect before and after the surgery. I was sent a breakdown of my expenses before hand.Being that I was from out of town maps and directions were also given. A listing of motels close to the surgery center was given.So very very helpful. I researched him on the internet. I choose Dr.Spencer Cochran because he is a nose surgeon and I wanted someone who had done several hundred nose jobs this year instead of one or two. Dr.Spencer Cochran was easy to talk to.He uses the 3-D image photos and then diagrams what needs to be done.And here it is a month later after surgery and I am very pleased with the results and I have several more months before all the swelling goes down. Everyone in the office was so nice. I would highly recommend Dr.Cochran to anyone who is thinking about having rhinoplasty done. Thank-you again Dr.Spencer Cochran for my wonderful looking nose. Only wish I had done it twenty years earlier.

I used information from this site to find Dr. Cochran. After meeting with several surgeons, I chose to go with him because I felt the most comfortable with his manner, the information I had found about him researching online, and I liked his before/after pictures the best. Also, his office and staff was very professional and accomadating/ I am glad I met with several doctors because I wasn't nervous when it came time for my surgery, but instead really confident in my decision. I feel not being nervous also helped me to heal quickly and have a really positive experience. I had a primary rhinoplasty done with Dr. Cochran on August 13 2012. Prior to selecting him, I consulted with several doctors (2 in Dallas and one in Chicago), but he was the doctor I felt most comfortable with (based on information I had read, his before/afters, and from the consult he seemed the most knowledgeable). I am from out of town but have family in Dallas. I will be flying back home on August 29th, although that's way more recovery time than needed.

I took the time to do some research and heard wonderful things about Dr. Spencer Cochran in Dallas. I went to see him for a consultation and it was a pleasure meeting him. He is just the nicest person, totally caring and understanding. He took my photos and did 3d imaging to show what my nose could potentially look like after surgery. After seeing the imaging, I was sure I wanted to do this. I wanted my nose to look exactly like that. I scheduled surgery for July 11 and was very nervous up to the date of surgery. I was second guessing if I was making the right decision, I was worried about the result. After reading all the reviews on Dr. Cochran I knew I made the right decision. It seemed like everyone had nothing but wonderful things to say about him and his work. All his before and after pics of his patients looked fantastic. On the day of surgery I tried to be calm and happy for the procedure. I didn't want to freak myself out. I just embraced the thought of it and thought positive about the results. Dr. C came to my room pre-op and we discussed the photos again and he put me at ease. We joked around and laughed and next thing, I was off to surgery! I woke up in recovery and soon got to see Dr. Cochran. He was so excited about my surgery. He said it went awesome and that my nose looked beautiful. He didn't even have to make incisions under my nostrils like we planned. He said it worked out so that he didn't need to to that.

After hating my huge nose for the majority of my life, I researched many doctors and liked Dr. Cochran's work the best- he had natural, individual results. I drove 5 hours to get to the consultation and surgery, which was worth it! His staff is great, and he is good at explaining what to expect. I emailed the staff (especially Jan!) many times to make sure everything was in place and any questions I had (before and after). One of the great parts was the 3D technology so you can get an idea of what you will likely look like after surgery.If you are considering Rhinoplasty- Dr. Cochran is one of the best. Thanks to Dr. Cochran and the Gunter Center for giving me a new sense of confidence and an AMAZING new nose.

Best Dr. Who Specializes in Rhinoplasty! - Dallas, TX

To start, I'm writing this now just 1 week post- op. Granted it's only one week but I am already pleased with my results. My nose is swollen- which is normal- but from the profile it is exactly how I wanted it. I have always been apprehensive for surgery (the idea just scares me) but I am so pleased that I decided to have Dr. Cochran as my doctor. A reason for choosing him is because he specializes in rhinoplasty. Apparently those are few and far between. He is certainly the Michelangelo of nose doctors. He also uses 3D imaging so you can see how you want to fix your nose and get an idea of a before and after. I know some doctors still use packing but he doesn't at all. He uses internal splints. Also, he has the best bedside manner! This was my first time for surgery and I was scared half to death. Before surgery he couldn't have been more calming. Also his nurse, Jane, is very nice as well. The Texas Institute for Surgery is where it's preformed and it is very, very nice. I would recommend him to anyone who asked.

Rhinoplasty for Breathing Problems - Dallas, TX

Seventeen years ago my nose was shattered and I have not been able to breath through it since. I've been very apprehensive about the surgery having read the procedure and put it off until it started effecting my overall health. I went to an ENT who suggested I have it done. Since it was surgery to my face I started calling plastic surgeons. Due to the extent of the damage I was referred to Dr. Gunter's office by several different doctors. Dr. Cochran is the doctor that I had my consult with and he made me feel at ease with having this done. I am now 4 months post-op and the swelling is almost gone and I can breath and my nose is a very pretty one. If I could do it all over again I would have done it sooner and only with Dr. Cochran. He's an artist.

I will never forget Dr. Cochran removing the inner splits and being shocked at the amount of air that was flowing through my nose! I said 'is this what normal people breathe like!?' and for the first time (and the rest of my life!) I will have the most amazing, functional, proportionally-beautiful nose! I highly, HIGHLY recommend anyone to choose Dr. Cochran! He is so kind, humble and genuinely cared about me as a patient.

I think that I truly found the best doctor. He correct my deviated septum perfectly and also enhanced the look of my entire nose all at the same time. Not only did I have great results, I had a great experience throughout the entire journey... from the staff at his office to the staff at the surgery center. Everyone involved treated me like I was the queen (and I am not anyone special). I can never thank Dr. Cochran enough, he has forever changed my life.
