Ok for the record, I've decided not to post any pictures right now. I posted some before and got a little too nervous/self-conscious but if I get the surgery, I'll post after pictures to show how I'm healing.
I need help finding other Facial Plastic Surgeons in Florida that others recommend. I've gone to 2 right now and I'm leaning toward the first over the second but I would like to go to more. I'm willing to travel so your advice would be greatly appreciated. Let me explain the differences between the two consultations. In the first, Dr. Pearson wants to do some tip work as well as removing the hump and straightening the bridge. It would be an open rhinoplasty under general anesthesia. I received the simulation pictures and I really liked the way they looked and I've seen others that have gone to him and their noses turned out very similar to their simulations. In the second consultation, Dr. Trimas wants to do a closed rhinoplasty, no tip work, and under general anesthesia because I said I would be more comfortable with that. It was my choice in regards to that. Both are very nice and clearly know what they are doing but I'm still uncertain. While Dr. Trimas made me feel very confident in his ability, I'm still leaning more towards Dr. Pearson. However, I'd like to see a few more doctors and I'm pretty picky about them being Facial Plastic Surgeons. So please everyone help me out and give me some ideas. I think after my third or fourth consultation, I'll know for sure who I want to go with. It's such an important decision and I really don't want to just take a chance when it comes to something like this. Thank you for all the help!

Sorry I haven't updated. I've been so busy and I still have one more consultation to go to but the first went great. I really liked Dr. Pearson and I'm leaning towards him right now but I still want to keep an open mind going into the second. I just received my simulation pictures the other day. I don't like the way I look in them but I like the way he did my nose. Let me know what you all think. I'm not sure which side I like more now. He made both sides look great. My nose is a little crooked from the front but I figured I was just seeing things. lol

Hey! I am also a college student and hoping to get a revision done during winter break. It is SO hard to find two consecutive weeks off to get things like this done isn't it? Haha. I am having a consult with Dr. Pearson tomorrow and I'm really excited to hear what you think about him as well!

I think he's great and he doesn't try to rush you out of the office. He answered all my questions and then some. I was very nervous for the interview but I quickly got over that. Good luck with your consultation. Let me know how it goes. :)
