Wished I Would've Done It Sooner - Southlake, TX

ORIGINAL POST

I I have wanted a rhinoplasty since I was 12 years...

Bmk121February 13, 2013
WORTH IT$8,700

I I have wanted a rhinoplasty since I was 12 years old, I I am now 30. I have been searching for the right doctor for 10 years and found him in Dr. Michael Bogdan. he made the experience very comfortable, explained everything and has been available to me from day 1.

I'm just 2 weeks post op and I couldn't ask for a better outcome. I feel as though he gave me the nose I should have been born with. Pain with minimal, bruising with minimal, even though mine was an open septoplasty and rhinoplasty procedure. I am a nurseand I had my procedure done on a Tuesday and I was back at work Sunday night, so down time was less than 1 week. the only thing I wish I would've done different is I wish I would've done it sooner. It may sound crazy that is completely change how I see myself and all it is is my nose. And the funny part is nobody else seems to notice they just keep telling me how beautiful I look and I can't pinpoint what I've done different. it was well worth it.

This nose fits you well. You still dont have a tiny little bitty nose, but you dont want that. Your new nose is nice and straight and its perfect for you. You still look like you, but improved. Thats what I would go for, if I choose to have surgery after my consult on Feb 26. I dont want to go from having a big nose to a tiny nose, I just want my nose toned down a notch. Good for you and GREAT results! A+

Thank you so much! And you're right, I didn't want a tiny nose, I just wanted something more aesthetically pleasing. Plus I wanted to be able to breath better, hense the septoplasty. And I love my face, I didnt want a new face, just a better nose. Thank you so much for your kind words!

You are very welcome! Oh, by the way, do you have numbness in your nose or your upper lip? Please advise.

Kinda...not in my lip though. It's hard to describe, I can feel the tip when I touch it, and definitely if I bump it, so I don't want to describe the sensation as numb but it is not quite back to normal yet. Because I had a deviated septum and needed a septoplasty, my surgery was "open" (they cut the skin in between my nostrils to have better access to everything). Because of the cut, nerve endings were damaged and it will take some time to completely heal. But it's not annoying or painful or numb, it's just not normal. Also, the tip is very hard right now. I'm guessing due to swelling (I'll ask at my next appt in a week). Normally, the tip of the nose is squishy, mine is not squishy at all. But it is getting softer every day, it's just taking its sweet time.

Your new nose looks awesome! I just had rhinoplasty surgery (closed) on February 13 and I am so anxious to get my cast off. I am very swollen and bruised right now. Pain is minimal, but there is a lot of discomfort. You're lucky you recovered so quickly. Enjoy the new and improved you. You look beautiful! :)

Oh getting the splint off is so exciting. My surgery was open so we had stitches to remove too, but that was easy. My best advice is to not cry. I was so pleased when I looked in the mirror for the first time without the splint and stitches I couldn't help but tear up. Don't do it, no matter how happy you are, it adds to the pressure in the nose and is not the most pleasant feeling. The discomfort will go away, just be very careful not to bump it! I swear, I've bumped my nose more in the last 2 weeks than I have in my entire life and it sucks. Thank you so much for your kind words. Let me know how your unveiling goes, I hope your new nose brings you the same happiness mine has me.

Thank you so much! Everyday the swelling goes down just a little more, I can't wait to see it in a year when (they say) all the swelling will be gone.
