I Want to Get a Nose Job. Anyone Have Any Experiences with Dr. Del Vecchio to Share? - Boston, MA

When it comes to my looks, my nose is the one...

When it comes to my looks, my nose is the one thing that bothers me. There is a bump on the bridge that was caused by healing incorrectly after a break, but it it also very bulbous at the tip. My face is narrow so my large nose seems to consume my whole face and the profile is atrocious.

I have incredibly low self esteem because of this. I'm not going to detail all the teasing I've endured, but let's just say it was extensive. I feel that if my nose was smaller and better looking I would have more confidence and wouldn't always be afraid that people were staring at my nose (sometimes it's obvious that they are).

I want to make sure I choose a good surgeon, as I've heard many rhinoplasty gone wrong horror stories. I got the name of Dr. Del Vecchio from a friend of a friend of a friend who had her breasts done, but I wanted to hear from rhinoplasty patients.

Great review?

Is your surgery already scheduled? Here's what some doctors have to say about choosing the right rhinoplasty doctor for you.

Please keep us posted. I have never for one second regretted my rhinoplasty.

You're pretty but I know how you feel with the low self esteem. When is your surgery? Mine is tomorrow...yikes!

I see where your coming from I too had a big nose. But I picked a really good surgeon Jed horwitz and had mine done this morning. My family said they already see a difference. Go for it!

Hi there! You have a gorgeous face now, so rhinoplasty will make you look and feel amazing. All the best choosing a surgeon. I have a slim face too that is overpowered by a large nose. I am hoping to have open rhinoplasty in the next 6 months and have found this website invaluable. I hope to start writing something soon so I keep moving forward.

i don't know thhe doctor you 're considering but if i were you i would go with doctor GEOFFREY TOBIAS from new york , his speciality is rhinoplasty only and he doesn't do any other cosmetic surgeries , he 's been pratising for over 25 the same type of surgery ,
i believe that with such practised surgeon , you'll get the resulats you want
i 've been considering to go with him , but i don't have enough money to do it , besides i'm not US citizen which is frustrating
go consult with him , and let me know what you think
don't undergo the knife unless you're 100000%% He's the one for your nose job ,
best of luck

I know Dr. Delvecchio very well. Very experienced plastic surgeon. Would not hesitate to have him operate on me!!!!
