WORTH IT$2,300

Just couple of weeks ago i was asking questons about how smart is it to go to India for a rhinoplasty due to a low budget. Well, 95% of people were trying to convience me it's not smart. But i still did it, because I had a feeling about it and i did a research before going. I CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW HAPPY I AM ABOUT DECISION I MADE! I am 5 days post operative and cast is off. Nose is still swollen (not much i was so scared of that part) but i can clearly see the results! They are great!

That was my diagnose after doctor saw my pictures:

"We saw pictures of Anastassiya. She requires complete make-over because she has long nose with slight hump at the dorsum. Her nasal tip is bulbous and the nostrils are asymmetrical. The columella is also deviated.

Open-tip approach is best for her. This will give excellent view of her nasal framework. The length of nose can be reduced to desired size appropriate to her overall face. The bulbous tip needs refinement by trimming cartilages. The hump needs reduction and septoplasty will help in correcting septal deviation. The nostril asymmetry also needs to be addressed. Nasal packs for 48 hours and splint for a week should suffice. Hospital stay of 3 days and after discharge an additional 4-5 days stay in the city for follow ups will be appropriate for her septo-rhinoplasty surgery."

The price $2300 included:
1) Pre operative investigations, Consultations and Follow Up.
2) Surgery, surgeon’s fees, Anesthetists Fees, Drugs and Consumables.
3) 3 days stay in the hospital and in India--in an AC deluxe room affixed with TV, cable, phone line
4) Food for your total stay.
5) Airport pickup and drop.

I will update pictures as soon as I am back. Feel free to ask any questions!

I found this doctor through a provider - They recommended him and I traveled to India with their help. (VISA, airport pick up, accomodation etc) I was very nervous and at first almost changed my mind about surgery when I got there but after i met Dr. I all doubts were gone! Sweetest person, he made me feel so comfortable and safe, answered all my questions and I had surgery next day after speaking to him. He has great sence of humor and puts you at ease in no time. There is no words how pleased I am with his services and the result i see so far.

You don't need to. Although I wouldnt travel to India, I did go abroad for Rhino. If you are happy with your results then thats great. I think it makes a huge and beneficial difference to your appearance.

Wow! Very good results! I am planning on doing the same thing next year. I'm going to India do get a rhinoplasty, and seeing your results makes me more confident. I'm going to save that doctor's website to my phone. Lol. Oh, and just one question: Did your total include your veneers also? Thanx!

@animallover: That's bull. There is an obvious difference. Don't try to play her @animallover.

Well, I don't know what she tried to achieve but I just look one more time and I did see difference from the site but the front looks to me still the same. May be she didn't want to change all look, that's why I do not see a lot of difference.

P.S. this is the site to share honest opinion. I am not here to play a games.

I definitely see a difference. The bridge and tip look refined, very straight. Nice results. Thanks so much for sharing your photos with us.

So, as I understood I have to be a lier to look positive. Correct ? Wow, I guess I learn more every day about american culture.
If she is happy with her result why place a pictures for opinions ?
P.S. in my opinion this is what negative and rude:
@animallover: That's bull. There is an obvious difference. Don't try to play her @animallover. But I guess for you bad word like "bull" is very positive.

Awww that's a really good outcome. What did the surgeon do to your nose exactly? i.e work on the tip etc? U look really pretty.

Ana, can you upload a clear pic of your face pre-surgery (not close-ups)so we can see clear before and after pics of your nose. I think he's done a great job. I am interested in this procedure I think it makes a world of difference to ones face. But I am put off by real horror stories-collapsing noses, swelling that doesnt ever get better (years post-op)awww your so lucky.

Hi, It's good that you are pleased with the result of your nose surgery. I had mine in the UK in a private hospital several years ago. After searching for a reputable surgeon, I too asked why there were no photographs on his website of his work; he said because every case is different he cannot tell exactly how each one would look afterwards hence providing photographs would give people a false idea of what theirs would look like. Makes sense I guess. If you're considering it, definately search around and don't just go for what is cheapest. Aim to wait about two weeks for swelling and brusing to go down enough to see how it would look. At five days after surgery my nose was swollen and I worried because it looked weird. Turned out brilliant. For two years afterwards you'll still have a bit of "loose" skin that you can pull upwards, it isn't flabby or anything, just shows how much bone/cartilage they removed, this shrinks to normal so don't worry. If you have lots of blackheads on your nose, the surgery can take a little longer as the skin on the nose is thicker. I was told this afterwards. Oh just a bit of a warning, sometimes they use sterlie gauze below your nasal passages that when you start to be able to smell again (about 2 to 4 days later) it stinks!! You may also look like a hamster for a few days after, I know I did, luckily I didn't have any brusing or swelling around my eyes. I have no problems with people going abroad, I would probably do so now if I had to pay myself. But you will have a nose cast on for about 5 to 7 days so don't expect to go sunbathing. Shopping is fine I guess. Hope some of this is helpful!

I wont choose him. I don't have a long nose with a good tip like yours. I have almost no tip, hence my nose is flabby and round. I chose a doc who specialises in tips. So becareful which surgeon u choose. some surgeons r good with long noses, and they are definitely not good with asian noses who require tips construction.
