Now at six weeks post-op.

Have added a new photo depicting my newly sculpted nose as it appears as of this writing.

Noting also my upper lip augmentation. One syringe of Juvederm [with Lidocaine] having been injected six days ago in order to bring it into balance with my lower lip. An outcome that has entirely succeeded at this point as can be seen. Symmetry and all. My having experienced only very minor swelling and discoloration overall.

I'm again extremely pleased with the outcome of my two procedures to date and I once again wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Denton's surgical skills and abilities.

Absolutely first rate.

Him and his staff.

And I'll likely update again.

Perhaps at the two or three months point for my rhinoplasty.

Ciao for now.

Wow! Your nose looks great. How long had you been considering cosmetic surgery before you actually decided to take care of it? I have been looking into rhinoplasty here in Salt Lake City(http://nuvistaplasticsurgery.com/body-procedures/liposuction.asp), but I think I have to do a bit more research before I decide what to do. Your example and results have really helped me out. Thanks!

Thanks Landon.

And I'd been thinking about the surgery for years. It was out of deference for my Dad that I didn't do it sooner. I had inherited his nose and I knew he'd be hurt by my desire to alter my appearance in the way I wanted to. It wasn't until after he passed away that I went ahead with the surgery.

And I visited that link you provided and Dr. Petersen seems great.

Here's a link to Dr. Denton's website...

http://www.doctordenton.com/

I'm again hugely happy with the way things worked out for me and the key regarding my decision was definitely Dr. Denton's confidence that he could, and would, provide me exactly the outcome I was looking for.

It's also the case that after my initial consultation was over, and I was back out in the office reception area, that one of Dr. Denton's female rhinoplasty patients was waiting there for a follow-up. Her new nose exposed and Dr. Denton pointed it out to me and I took a look. Telling her that she looked fantastic which she did.

I'd already decided to go ahead with the surgery during the consultation but seeing this young lady's outcome right there in the office certainly reinforced that decision.

I'm glad that my review has been helpful to you and I wish you the best.

Having every confidence that you'll make the right decision given that you intend to do your homework.

I have my surgery next week, nov 8th with Dr. Denton. Up to today, I've been nothing but excited. Although now, I'm a nervous wreck. What was the actual procedure like for you? I'm so worried that I will see and hear what is happening throughout the surgery. Did you have a super sore throat when you woke up?

Kirstabell, Have no fears. None whatsoever. When I arrived for my surgery I wasn't even remotely nervous. I entered the office and said hello to all and then sat and waited for a few minutes before the nurse came out to take me in for surgery preparation. I stripped to the waist in a side room and put a hospital gown on. Removed my shoes and put on hospital booties. Then the nurse had me use the standard mouth wash and gave me some standard oral medication. For relaxation and more. Then Dr. Denton came out and had a brief chat with me and we went into the surgery theatre where I lay down on the operating table. I was again totally relaxed. Feeling entirely confident. And the staff wastes no time. My arms were placed on flat surfaces to my left and right. Near as I could tell my left arm was hooked up to monitor my vital signs while my right received the intravenous anaesthetic. And, again, no time was wasted and there was no discomfort. The last thing I recall was Dr. Denton telling me that I'd soon be feeling like I'd had a martini or two and I replied that I was already feeling a little drowsy. The next thing I know I was waking up in recovery with the nurse asking me how I was doing. And I was doing fine. No discomfort whatsoever. Just a bandaged nose. There was nothing to it. No call for anxiety or nervousness or any such. The whole of it couldn’t have been smoother. You'll be fine. Try to relax. You'll be in the best of all possible hands with Dr. Denton and staff.

Next week I'll be overall updating my review. At the six weeks post-op point of my recovery.

In the mean time I just wanted to submit a new photo that more clearly demonstrates just how truly great my newly sculpted nose actually looks. The degree to which it suits my face. Looking like I was born with it.

The photo is a slight bit out of focus but overall is a great shot. My original nose having sported a sizeable and lengthy hump on the bridge and the tip was lower.

The photo was shot 31 days post-op and so some minor redness and a slight swelling on the bridge can be seen [at the point at which my hump was removed].

Dr. Denton did a truly outstanding job of providing me the nose I've always wanted.

My having no regrets whatsoever.

Just extremely grateful and happy.

More soon.

The mentioned post-op redness and swelling on my nasal bridge has, over the past few days, almost completely resolved. I was a little concerned recently that the swelling might not be soft tissue in its entirety and that it would not fully resolve. It has resolved steadily from its maximum projection following cast removal to the mentioned barely noticeable stage but then it seemed to stall. The past few days however having laid my concerns to rest as the attached photo clearly shows. The redness reduced and the swelling at its smallest from every angle.

I anticipate the redness and swelling being completely resolved over coming days.

What I wanted, and what Dr. Denton targeted, was an uninterrupted smooth, slightly concave, sweep to my nose from top to tip and it is now very obvious to me that such is indeed going to be the final outcome.

Grinning broadly once again!

More to come.

Thanks Angie,

I've added a photo that more clearly demonstrates my overall outcome.

I couldn't be more pleased with the way the whole of the surgery turned out.

Great indeed!

Thanks again to Dr. Denton.
