Rhinoplasty in White Plains, NY- Long Drive, but Worth It.

WORTH IT$6,200

Ever since I was younger, I've always hated the bump on my nose. It wasn't until recently that I started to take it seriously and want to get it fixed. I saved up some money and scheduled a surgery date with another surgeon. As the weeks went on, I felt it didn't feel right, I cancelled it and moved on. After reading all these reviews on Dr. Ciardullo, I decided to make the drive to go see him. I made my first visit with him my preop as well as my consult and already scheduled a surgery date before meeting him. Immediately, while stepping into the room, I felt it was right. After talking to him, I definitely felt as if he knew what he was doing, and I felt that he will give me a result I am looking for. Before telling him what I saw wrong in my nose, he told me and I agreed. He showed me the operating room, which was very nice knowing where you'll be before hand, it actually made me feel a lot less nervous about the whole procedure. My cost included the cost of the Anastasia. For my case, he will be taking down my hump, shortening the length and raising the tip slightly. He wrote me a prescription of valium to help with my pre surgery anxiety. I'm really excited to come back in a couple weeks for surgery and I'll update then :)

I'm glad you found a doctor you're comfortable with! You're just a few weeks away, now. I hope you'll keep us updated as you get closer and I hope you love your new nose!

One week till my surgery. I'm starting to get a little nervous. I've been taking 500 mg of Vitamin C three times a day and I'll start taking arnica 2 days before surgery. I'm more worried about going under Anesthesia than anything since this is my first surgery. Hopefully I won't start to freak out too much over the next week leading up to my surgery.

Good luck! I'm sure he'll do a great job. There are so many awesome reviews of him on here. Can't wait to see your before and afters! (I'm hoping to go to him for rhino as well!)

He did my nose and boobs and he is an excellent doctor. Just be prepared to take it easy for a couple of days and don't be surprised by the amount of boogies you'll have. Get a good supply of Q-tips and some peroxide!

January 21, 2012

January 22, 2012

January 23, 2012
Hey good luck ;)
Am sure you will do fine!
I have my blood work in the 27th Jan and my surgery on the Feb 3rd
I like u am nervous of the anesthesia ... I know a few Pol Who have gone under (my cousin had Her breast done by my PS, another person had their nose done by him) and they are well. Everything turned out well for them.

I wasn't nervous at all, all I thought about was the pain afterward, but in reality it didn't hurt at all. It was like having a stuffy nose. Trust me I know pain, I've had twins and have lupus which was very painful for my bones and joints, so I really thought I would be in worst pain than regular people. The anesthesia isn't bad. You basically close your eyes, fall asleep and its liked you blinked. It will feel like 5 minutes later and it will all be over. Just incase it does make you nauseas start off by eating soups and water so you dont upset your stomach. I didn't feel nauseas. Don't feel nervous just relax and just think about how great your going to feel when you have your new nose.

Tomorrow's the big day! I'm more nervous than excited at this point. Bobbie, the receptionist, assured me everything would go great. My surgery is going to be at 8am. Wish me luck :)
