After growing up hating my nose and feeling like I should have been born with a different nose, I always wondered what I'd look like if I had a different nose. A few months ago I broke my nose, which caused some breathing problems. I decided to get my nose fixed to improve breathing and improve the look of my nose. I am a little nervous because I have never had surgery before, so I don't know if I'll handle the pain well. I am also afraid I won't recognize myself after. I have done the consult and the doctor seemed to be on the same page as me and he also did a 3d image, which gave me an idea of how I'd look after. He is board certified and I have seen some before/after photos of his work and I think they are very good. I'm just nervous that I might be one of the few unsatisfied.
Hopefully it's just pre-surgery jitters. My husband thinks the 3d picture was beautiful and assures me that I am already beautiful but that the doctor will give me the nose I've been wanting and afterward I'll feel better about myself.

My Doctor: Join to view doctor's name
My rating:
I chose him because of the reputation his practice has and after viewing the before and after pics he had posted on his website. I researched doctors in the area online and thought he was the best fit for me. Dr.Leigh has an excellent staff and they made the whole process go smoothly. His nurse was very friendly and reassuring. The office workers were pleasant and very helpful. Dr. Leigh took the time to answer any of my concerns and he had a great sense of humor. He made me feel very comfortable the whole time and just 5 days post op I can already see that he has done a good job. Dr. Leigh is talented and really gave me a beautiful nose!
