I am going to see Dr. Ciardullo in White Plains...
WORTH IT$6,200
I am going to see Dr. Ciardullo in White Plains for a free consultation June 11th and hopefully getting the rhinoplasty in the beginning of July. I am very nervous for the consultation and the surgery but I have wanted this for almost 7 years now. I am posting these pictures for how my nose is now. I am still contemplating on what I want done and what would match my face better. I will update on everything and feel free to comment or message me. (p.s- haters don't even bother because I don't care what you have to say.)

Christyx3less good luck with your upcoming consult! I had to write down the questions that I was going to ask my Doc because I was so nervous lol. You will probably find a lot of support here at this website. You'll notice if one girl gets catty the others usually come quickly to your defense :)

Good luck with the consult! And I second what nikki said about writing down your questions, you get nervous and your brain goes blank =) Hopefully your doctor does morphs I loved mine so much I cried because I still had this huge nose!

How did your consult go!? I have one scheduled on the 23rd and want to get it done ASAP (preferrably a week later if all goes well) :) Can't wait to see how yours went!

Hello! Sorry I have not posted in a while, I have...
Hello! Sorry I have not posted in a while, I have had a lot to think about and the last thing I wanted to do was post about the topic that was hurting my brain! I have had my consult with Dr. Ciardullo on July 9th, 2012. Let me just say, I was sooo nervous I almost cried. But I was guessing that that is a good sign..I mean it shows that I care. A lot. Haha :P Anyways, the consult went very well and Dr. Ciardullo was extremely nice and welcoming. He actually really like to say my name! He told me what he thought I wanted done and he was correct with everything. Then, he showed me a before and after picture of a woman who had the same nose that I have. My mother was amazing at how exact he was when he compared my nose to someone elses.
Next, he showed me around his office and where he did the surgery. Yes, he does do the surgery in his own private facility and he also has his own, reliable team of anesthetics. Also, you are free to go home about 4 hours after the surgery. (The surgery its self takes about 1 hour) Another perk is that he right across the street from the hospital, so god forbid something goes wrong, you will be okay. Although, he has said he has done 3000 noses and he has not had a problem. He told me that my surgery will be easy because I do not need packing. (YES!)
Other information I feel is important to bring up: If you are thinking about doing this surgery with Dr. Ciardullo, you can not exercise for about 3-4 weeks. If you have glasses, you need a type of material to put on you nose or the glasses its self so that the glasses will not make an imprint on your nose. (The nobs on my glasses that touch my nose creates a dent in my nose= not good) You will need 1-2 weeks off of work and depending on your age, bruising will also go away in about a week or two. (For me, since i am 17 it will probably take about a week) Lastly, if you are getting or thinking about getting the surgery in the summer, whenever you go outside in the sun you have to wear sunscreen.I am scheduling my surgery date for around December 27th because I have tennis in August and would not be able to play if I had the surgery :( But, good things come to those who wait. Thank you for reading and PLEASE feel free to message me: I am on this website for YOU so don't be a stranger. Lots of love.

hey:) I was wondering why it costed 6,200 ? usually dr ciardullos rhinoplastys cost 5,700 . did he raise the price ???
July 13, 2012
niki, nope no decisions on the date yet. But, its going to revolve around December 27th and I will post when my surgery date is set asap. And victori...the surgery its self is probably around 5,700. Unfortunately, you also have to pay for the anesthetics and such so the price is raised to about 6,200. The price was not raised as far as I am concerned.

Good luck! I went with Dr. C as well and couldn't be happier. You picked the right man. Can't wait to see your results!

Hi Christy!
Congrats on your decision! I also just had a rhino with Dr. C. I'm two weeks post-op this Thursday. He did an amazing job! The day the cast came off, I felt more beautiful than I ever had in my life. (I almost cried as I left the office I was so happy!) I say this even though I was — and still am — really swollen and have black eyes. I wish I had done this a long time ago when *I* was 17.
Dr. C's eye for aesthetics is enviable. I think you're in great hands. Best of luck to you!

Good luck! You'll do great :) I have one question, what is your heritage? :]
You'll probably have a much better idea of what you want after a few consultations. Please let us know how your consult with Dr. C. goes. I hope this is a super positive experience for you and that you love your results!
