After months of research I decided to go to Dr. G. I never thought I would have to get surgery on my face but after a horrible accident I want a new nose. I always loved my nose until I broke it playing softball in middle school and then again 4 months ago when I tripped and planted face first on the bed frame as we were moving. I have been to five consults in Miami and WPB (where I live) but I did not feel 100% confident with anyone. I was not impressed with anyone's before And after photos either. Then I narrowed it down to Dr. G, Dr. Cochran, and DR. Ghavami. I decided to go to Glendale after talking with previous patients and ppl on this website that inspired me. Flying from Florida to Cali in a few days and getting nervous!

BTW I too had to do my nose due to the accident (2 of them) and prior to that I would not have ever even considered it. It really sucks but you got a good doctor so good luck! Keep us posted.

Surgery was yesterday and it went smoothly. I was vomiting blood at the hospital but the nurses were really nice and comforting. I hope my doctor took his time because he is very busy. I am excited to see the results and cant wait for the swelling and bruising to go down. Today I feel better but really swollen. I've been putting frozen peas on my eyes but I think I may have left them on my face too long. Does anyone know how often I'm supposed to ice?

Hi there! I'm guessing surgery is probably over now for you. I hope it went smoothly and you are recovering well. Looking forward to keeping up with you progress.

Thank you! My face feels really warm from the bruising. How often did you girls ice?
January 25, 2013
The day of surgery I didn't ice that much because I was sleeping but I tried to ice once an hour for 20 min post op day 2-5 while I was awake. The more you ice the better off you'll be. Good luck!

Sorry I meant to add.. take the ice off after 20 min. My doctor said some people give themselves frostbite without realizing it due to the numbness from surgery. So at the most 20 min on/20 off for icing.

So glad the surgery is over for you! You are so pretty! Your nose looks similar to mine from the front ( I think) do you have a profile pic you can put up or send me privately? I'm really considering Dr. G. Did he do closed on you? I just wonder because your nose had been broken.
