He's a top doc as far as his reputation at large. Probably why it's his way or the highway.
If I were many of you, I'd advise alar base reduction as well if he is 'deprojecting' your nose... It'll make your nose fatter if you don't.
I told him that's what I wanted but he said it'd be a game-time decision. I woke up and was very upset that that had not been done.
I may get that done later this year as there is far less recover time, but you have to do more explaining to people if you are a male because the scars are visible... But, you can put light some makeup on them to reduce visibility, even if male.
Also, part of this whole thing is the SHOCK of looking in the mirror and looking differently.... and, thinking you may have to go in for a revision.
20% of people get revisions... which means that probably 40% of people want them! So, if all goes well with your surgery, hopefully you'll end up on the good half of things.
