“New Nose, Here I Come! - Dallas, TX”

So like a lot of the people that decide on a nose job, I've wanted one since I was a teenager when my nose seemed to get much bigger than the rest of my face.

“Great Doctor, Great Office, Great...”

I had my Rhinoplastic/Septoplastic surgery on the 5th of December 2012. My nose looks great so far. It has been three weeks and no one noticed. Dr. C told me it is still swollen but no one notices that. I had uneven nostrils, a hump, difficulty breathing, and my tip was down close to my lips. I can tell that I still have some swelling but it looks great so far and I am back to work. My... more

I've been coming to this site for months now and finally decided to stop lurking and share my own story since hearing everyone elses has helped me so much.

I almost scheduled a surgery date then had a... more

“The Nose Job when I Was 17 - Dallas, TX”

It has been years since my surgery, but I still remember the change. I was born with a big nose. My parents told me that I had the “roman nose” at birth. Around 6th grade, some began telling me that I had a large nose. One kid said “hey - you’re gonna have a huge nose when you grow up!” I hear he’s in jail now. Anyway, the teasing was at it’s worst in the 8th grade. It gradually... more

“Don't Take Things for Granted -...”

For years I have been insecure about my nose, and wanted to have a rhinoplasty to fix it.

“Primary Rhinoplasty - Dallas, TX”

Everything went really smoothly leading up to the surgery date. His staff is very helpful and easily accessible to work out any possible issues. The first 2-3 days after surgery were a bit rough. I have a weak stomach, and just felt kind of nauseous and I was very swollen and puffy, and had a good amount of bruising. After the first 3 days, it got much easier and I saw the swelling and... more

“From Venice, Italy to Dallas, Texas...”

Ever since I was 13 yrs. old, my nose bothered me. When I was younger it looked fine, but then my nose changed and I had a bump on my nose and my septum was slightly deviated. For years I thought about getting rhinoplasty/septoplasty, but didn’t have the courage or finances to go through with it. Finally, at the age of 41, I decided to go through with it. I researched doctors online for over... more

“From Italy to Dallas for the Best...”

I went to Dr. Cochran for a consultation because throughout my entire life I have had a horrible time breathing through my nose, especially here in Texas with the allergy and at night when trying to sleep. I could not have had a better experience with Dr. Cochran. He was very professional and , very down-to-earth, funny calming personality and I felt that he and I shared realistic... more

“Rhinoplasty Recovery Post Op -...”

I always dis-liked my nose from when I was in my teens. I sustained a nasal injury that left my nose crooked from my teens and on. I always wanted to get rhinoplasty but was too scared to make such a drastic decision and HOPE I like the result. I couldn't imagine going through the process and not liking the outcome. After my wedding this past April, I saw all my wedding photos and it was at... more

“Rhinoplasty with Dr. Spencer Cochran...”

When I was eleven, a boy I liked teased me about the size of my nose. Until then, I had been unaware that my nose didn't fit my face. This awareness only increased during my angsty teenage years. :P Last year, however, I finally decided that it would be ok if I wanted to do something about it. So, I started doing my research. The goal for my surgery was to reduce the width and size of my nose... more

“Best Thing I Ever Did for Myself -...”

After looking at myself day in an day out and always finding fault with my nose, I finally decided to do something about it-so I guess you could say this surgery was 30 years in the making.

“*NEW PICS* Recovering from surgery...”

**LONG REVIEW** Why I'm Having A Rhinoplasty: I first noticed that my nose was out of proportion with my face when I was called Squidward by my classmates in middle school. As I got older I heard no other mention of my nose, but it remained a deep insecurity for me. Every time I look in the mirror at my profile or see pictures of it I cringe and automatically think, “That... more

“I Can't Believe I Did It - Dallas, TX”

Hated my profile. more

“Dr. Trussler is the Kind of Surgeon...”

First, I'd like to say that the cost is what I paid out of pocket. My nose was totally messed up due to a birth defect and then additional trauma so my insurance company paid for most of it. I don't know how much it was. Second, his credentials are infallible: chief resident of his surgical class; graduated everything with honors; studied with the renowned Dr. Gunter; and is a... more

“Trouble Breathing from Broken Nose -...”

Previously broken nose and was not happy with the appearance. dr gunter did a fascinating job on giving me the ability to breathe.

“Could Not Be More Pleased with Dr....”

I first went to see Dr. Cochran at the beginning of 2011 because I was not able to breathe properly through my nose. I have been a 'mouth breather' my whole life and I was eager to find a remedy.

“Would Not Change A Thing - Dallas, TX”

Very easy recovery. I felt very good even on the way home. Virtually no pain. I took one pain pill, mostly because I was afraid I "might" have pain. Tylenol was plenty and I didn't need much of that. Very minimal bruising. Some swelling, but that was expected (swelled for 2 weeks after wisdom teeth). I breathe much better than I ever have. In regard to cosmetics, I could not... more

“Life Changing! - Dallas, TX”

For breathing and appearance. I'm a male who decided to see Dr. Cochran for a consultation. I suffered from severe sleep apnea and have always been very self conscious about the way my nose looked.

“Very Happy - Dallas, TX”

I had a septoplasty around 5 years ago that didnt do very much. At the time, the Doctor asked if I wanted the hump taken out of my nose at the same time. Thankfully my husband said no way because this was something you want a facial plastic surgeon to do. So -5 years later my nose was not very feminine, droopy, and obstructed breathing on left side. I traveled from Tulsa to Dallas to have... more

“Dr. C Was Worth the 6 Hour Drive -...”

I have never liked how my nose was so rounded at the tip. I have also always been self conscious about how far my ears stuck out. I was not going to have one procedure without the other and I was so glad when my wife found Dr. C through her internet research. more

“Secondary Rhinoplasty - Dallas, TX”

My experience with Dr T for my secondary rhinoplasty was excellent. I saw him as for a second opinion for the procedure I was wanting to have and ended up choosing him as my surgeon based on the comfort level I had with his confidence in performing the procedure and my results were far greater than any expectations I had. I have recommended him to several friends all of which have been... more

“I Have Had an Amazing Experience...”

The main reason I had the procedure, was to have a nose that fit my face. Now my nose is perfect! I had slight bruising and bleeding after the procedure because of the herbal medications that Dr. J recommended. I had a very simple recovery and would do it again! more

“Rhinoplasty Positively Changed my...”

I am a 24-year-old female who had wanted to have Rhinoplasty since I was in middle school. My nose was too masculine and unrefined not to mention too large for my petite self. Well, last spring, I realized that I was finally “ready” and did quite a bit of research and found a doctor in my area. It only took one consultation to know that he was the doctor for me. I’ll be... more

“Rhinoplasty Revision, Finally Fixed...”

I was in a very serious auto accident in 1986 in which every bone in my face was broken. Had some extensive reconstruction in the following years. The part I had continuing problems with were my nose and my sinuses. The bones that were crushed would grow back and my airways could block up with bone and scar tissue. For a long time, they were having to go in and clear out my airways once a year... more

“Don't Do It - Not Happy After...”

I wan't to let people know why i myself would have never had the first surgery if i had known then what i know now. Both of the doctors that have performed surgeries on me were not any more skilled than a regular physician in your doctors office. i just wish i had not done the first. They tell you oh yeah, i can fix this, no problem and then take 16000.00 oh well guess we'll, have to do... more

“Crooked Nose After Rhinoplasty and...”

No pain, good treatment, and would recommend it for any one who has any breathing problems or does not like the appearance of their nose. After having my splint come off, my nose is still crooked, I am very worried and upset, my doctor has recommended to tape it into place and now I am sitting here wondering if I am taping it straight and all sorts of things. What would y more

“Minor Slimming & Tip Elevation -...”

My rhinoplasty experience has not gone well. It was supposed to be a minor slimming and elevation of tip. Dr. scooped out bridge, made width of bridge very slim and I have what looks like scooped out trenches on either side of nose.It has been almost six weeks and I still do not like to leave the house. I had thought I was on the same page with the Dr, but apparently not. My nostrils are... more

“Rhinoplasty Caused a Build Up of...”

I wish to God I hadn't done it since my nose now curves to one side due to scar tissue. When I smile it hooks and I hate it! If I could go back in time, I would not have touched a thing. Everyone should keep in mind that the results are not guaranteed and that subsequent operations (revisions) may either create more scar tissue or still not achieve the desired result.How can I get rid of... more

I had Septorhinoplasty to remove a bump on my nose and fix a deviated septum so I could breathe better.I met with the plastic surgeon for my consultation, and he was wonderful.

“Nose Massage at 12 Days Post Op?!?!?!”

It is too early on for me to review. I'm extremely nervous right now about the outcome. I knew there would be swelling but I was really taken aback by the extent of it. I'm trying to remain optimistic.I'm 12 days post-op from a secondary rhinoplasty. I had spreader grafts and lateral crural strut grafts and a columellar (sp?) graft all using my septum. I didn't need my bones broken. I'm... more
