Loving my new nose!

Rhinoplasty

After another consultation with a different surgeon I decided to have my surgery with Dr Funk because overall, I felt more comfortable with him and more confident that I would get the outcome I desired. At my initial consultation, Dr Funk took his time to examine my nose and explain what could be done to correct the issues I had with it, he also showed me many before and after pictures of the surgeries he had done and many of his patients had the same issues I had and had acheived amazing results. I also liked the fact that Dr Funk is double board certified not only in cosmetic surgery but also in ENT (ear, nose and throat) and only performs surgeries on the face which means he does significantly more rhinoplasties that a surgeon that performs procedures on the entire body. I felt that if I was going to entust my face to a surgeon then they needed to be an expert in the field. After my initial consultation, Dr Funk followed up with a letter which was a nice personal touch. I think I booked my surgery the week following my consultation. I dealt with Leah, who is his patient liason and she was awesome. So sweet and explained everything to me. Dr Funk operates at a hospital as well as an outpatient surgery center and I decided to book my surgery at the outpatient surgery center as it was closer to where I live and I would be able to be discharged faster after the surgery. I used Care Credit to finance part of my surgery and they worked with me on that and explained their agreement with them. 2 weeks before the surgery I had another consultation to go over my pre and post-op instructions and ask Dr Funk any questions I might have before the surgery. Again he took his time and didn't make me feel rushed like some doctors do. The day of the surgery he came and talked to me before they took me back and that night after I got home, he called to check how I was doing and let me know that everything had gone very well. I will also add, that the surgery center and their staff were all great and I would definitely go there again given the choice. Following the surgery, I had post-op appointments to remove my cast and sutures which was a breeze. Dr Funk was very gentle so I barely felt anything. 2 days after that I had another appointment to remove some taping and the remaining sutures and I got to see my results for the first time. I am very happy with the outcome of my surgery and with Dr Funk and all his staff. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to him for any facial procedures in the future and I would highly recommend him if you are considering a rhinoplasty in the Houston area.
