I had a small bump on my dorsal hump. Although my nose was not huge and I liked how I looked from the front., I was always embarrased of my side profile. I am also looking forward to breathing better!

I had my surgery on Monday April 16 Dr. Shah and the staff at Gold Coast were wonderful. They made everything so easy and explained all of my aftercare instructions to my husband and myself. The surgery lasted a little more than a hour, I spent about a hour and a half in recovery. They gave me a pain pill and apple sauce in recovery, I was a little out of it but the pain was tolerable. I remember waking up being able to breath out of my nose and eventhough this didn't last long, as my nose has been congested since, I'm hoping in a months time to feel that way again. The whole experience on the day of surgery was wonderful! My husband had a hour drive home, I started to ice with the gloves I switched to the frozen peas when I got home. Everything went well I didn't have much bruising or pain.
Great review?
