I
just want to mention one of the most important factors anyone should
know when going through with this type of surgery is know what YOU want.
My Dr. what we agreed on have no doubt about that but during the
initial consultation when going over MY face he was straightforward and
told me what he wouldn't be comfortable giving me what I wanted. I feel
it is important to note I had wanted a
transformation not merely a natural nose job but a nose that looked
vastly different . he delivered what we had agreed on and I agreed on.
In retrospect I wish I had verbalized and stood by what I had wanted
which was a TRANSFORMATION of nose not merely a natural improvement.
This comes down to me and not demanding what I had wanted on MY
face.IT'S MY FAULT FOR BEING SO PASSIVE. I know there is an improvement
but I feel such strong urge to share this -know the difference between
how big a transformation you want and if a Dr does not share your dream
then move onto the next. This was my last chance for a good while to
have this done and I will settle AND enjoy the improved result nothing
is deformed or off, the profile looks better. Yet I know that once I
have the chance I will most likely go for another procedure( so many
risks) to address the front, the columella hangs still and there is
still too much of a bulbous tip, the profile I had wanted to not be so
straight more of a slope and the width of my nose still bothers me. I
am 11 months since surgery. The truth is that my Dr did do what we had
agreed upon and the images of what we agreed upon turned out nearly
identical to what I have now except the front but we will see if
swelling changes that. This is not an issue of a Dr not giving the
patient what he wanted but merely a warning to know what YOU want on
YOUR face. I stand by my previous review but this is the internal
dialogue I think many of us face and during a consultation sometimes it
is easier to just give in to what you feel is the Dr best judgment. I
have that feeling of regret of not being more explicit and saying " the
tip is way to bulbous in the computer simulation" rather in the
excitement I agreed. SO my fault do I still want an added improvement,
yes. Am i terrified of going under the knife and having another Dr ruin
the perfectly decent nose I have HELL YES. I will say this the man is a
genius with silicone as well as the art of rhinoplasty, not to mention
I can breathe like a king now. I feel like a fool for not knowing what I
would of wanted stating it more explicitly.
