Dominic C. Foti, MD

For years, I had thought about getting rhinoplasty but never felt comfortable with the idea of actually going through with it. However, once I met Dr. Foti, I instantly knew it was the right decision for me. I do not miss my old nose at all and feel like I can finally walk with my head held high and not worry about whether I am being judged for having a big nose. I have absolutely no regrets and could not be happier with my result.

I am currently 4 days post-op from a TT and breast augmentation. I stumbled on this sight and have thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's comments, suggestions and very own experiences. I have to say that I am having abut of that feeling of "why the heck did I do this?" Hearing everyone say "hang in there" or "be patient" is such an encouragement!
I could not live without my compression garment, but it still feels so tight! Especially around my thighs, which are swollen as well. My butt and thighs feel HUGE right now :-/

Some of you suggested Vit C, multi vitamins, ice off and on, arnica, etc. I have been taking ibuprofen, percocet only when needed and a stool softener, but the other things mentioned aren't on my list....should I start those things? Any other suggestions? It's not easy for me to be still, but I am trying real hard as I do have to go back to work in 9 days :-(
Thank you all for your honesty and willingness to share! Can't wait to hear more from all of you!

Hi, I'm new to real self but I have always been really insecure about my nose. I'm getting ready to turn 21 and decided I am finally gonna go for it! I am using Dr. Foti out of Colorado Springs, CO, I really liked him and his staff. My surgery is a little less than a month away. I am so excited and would like some friends to share my experience with.

It is so weird to think that I am getting so close. It seemed like this would never happen but I'm getting there!
