Motivation: Always wanted a rhinoplasty to correct dorsal hump and what I felt was a "big" nose, particularly unattractive as a side profile
Consultation: Dr. Broumand emphasized he believes in the "right" nose for each face and that my new nose would not like it was someone else's stuck on to my face. Of course, Dr. Broumand is kind and caring, and took the time to patiently answer all my questions. All of the office staff, from the receptionist to the nurses to the patient coordinator, were extremely helpful.
Procedure: Dr. Broumand removed the dorsal hump, very slightly narrowed the nostrils, raised the tip 2 millimeters
Recovery: Virtually painless, literally. No need for the Vicodin, and barely took any Tylenol. Very minimal bruising (almost unnoticeable) and swelling before cast removal. Some swelling after cast removal at day 5, but less than one would expect.
Result: Amazing. Incredibly natural - a nose that is still "me."
Conclusion: There is no wonder Dr. Broumand is considered one of the best plastic surgeons in New York City. He is worth every dollar, and his emphasis on the "natural" look coupled with his surgical expertise means he is top notch. I will never let anyone touch my face except Dr. Broumand.
