You Don't Always Get What You Pay For (Sometimes You Get More) **Rhinoplasty**Brow Lift**Lipo** NY, NY

Hi Shawn, thanks for your comments! I know what you mean, but I'm posting what makes me comfortable. Sure, I realize blacking out my eyes does not make me unrecognizable, but it does minimize recognition. I promise you that my facial features are proportional. If you are considering Dr. Watts as a surgeon, I would be happy to send you full pictures by email. The reason I posted pics was so that other RealSelfers could see his work. If I may boldly anticipate your response, I know I would have no control over what you do with the pictures, but I like to believe that someone with like-minded goals would use them properly. :) As far as bruising, mine was pretty bad under the eyes, and it didn't disappear fully until about 4 1/2 weeks post-op. Arnica gel seemed to help, but that might have been wishful thinking. The bruising was exacerbated by the brow lift, so I'm not sure how it would have been with just rhinoplasty. Most of my coworkers just complimented me on how nice my skin looked, and how well-rested I looked, but one hounded me, asking why I looked different. That wasn't fun lol. The family members who didn't know I had work done kept staring at me obviously during Christmas Eve dinner (2 weeks post op) but they couldn't place what was different, and when I finally let the cat out of the bag, they stared at me even more lol. Thanks again for writing; I haven't had a chance to read about your experience yet, but I will certainly do so shortly. Best of luck!

Hey there hun, Wow I liked your responds a lot , you are like me. Yoy write long and very detailed. I truly appriciate that. I hope you know I was just curious about your over all facial balance and how look period. And I'm just one of those people who appriciate a beautiful well balanced facial features. But I understand and respect what you mean with feeling comfy about what u wanna share and what not. U know the reason I posted my pictures is because I also wanted others to see, how my results were and I was one of them, looking at other members who did the surgery. Id actually would like to see your picture, a full face picture without ur eyes hidden. And obviously it would be just for me. As u maybe noticed, I had cosmetic surgery done myself a year ago and have my next surgery scheduled for June. Which will be my nose. My nose is very minor, but enough that I don't like and I'm somewhat of a perfectionist. If I had more money, I would have done both my surgeries at the same time. But sometimes it is what it is. So I have a little bump on my nose and from certain angles my nose looks crooked and from other angles it looks fine. So I decided to have that fixed as well. My surgeoun is in Flordia. Ill PM u my e mail

If you go to www.nyee.edu you can link to the plastic surgery fellowship program i don't think Dr.Watts has an individual web site. I just had a second procedure with Dr. Watts yesterday. I had a breast lift and augmentation. I cannot say enough about Dr. Watts. His attention to detail and commitment to his skill and patients is incredible. You cannot help but feel completely confident with your decision to choose Dr. Watts as your physician. Dr. Watts can show you before and afters during your consultation. That is where I viewed his work and now having gone through a facelift, upper and lower eyelid lift, lipo to the chin area and now a breast augmentation I am so happy with his work. I am 9 weeks post op from my facelift and I love it. Good Luck !!!

Thank you so much! Took a little searching but I found the number to call. It says a rhino is $5200 - that seems like average pricing to me :/ did you ask for a discount or anything?

You can give them a call and ask for pricing to make sure, I didn't ask for a discount there was a flat fee for everything , but I would call to double check Susanna the office manager is very helpful with pricing questions

Thanks!! My tip is still hard and swollen because so much work was done to it, but I really think the results are comparable to private practice doctors. I got exactly what I asked for. :-) Be well!!

Isn't he?? I'm so happy I went with him (he's actually the only doctor I met with). Wallflower, if you don't mind me asking, did you undergo a procedure with him? Thanks!!

Yes I had a tummy tuck and im very happy.

That's great; congratulations!!

I'm so happy for you, Dibs! I hope your recovery is going well!!

He does tummy tucks and I think he does a great job. Ask him to show you before/after photos. He is definitely not a resident, I think he is already a board certified plastic surgeon.

Thanks, Lindzee; sorry for the late reply! For a month prior to my surgery I scoured RealSelf hoping a review for Dr. Watts would pop up. When none did, I went ahead and took the plunge, and I'm so glad I did. I wrote the review because I knew others must be in my position, and also because Dr. Watts deserves the recognition. Like Wallflower said, he is definitely board-certified. When I went for my consultation, he only showed me pictures of facial surgeries that he's done. But my sister wanted to see the full gamut of before and afters during her consultation, and from what she saw, she said he's done several successful breast, TT and lipo procedures. I want to get a breast lift by May, and I'm going back to Dr. Watts. I definitely think he's skilled in all facets of cosmetic surgery. He was supervised by a surgeon during my operation (Dr. Lawrence Bass). Dr. Watts tries to schedule procedures according to what the attending senior surgeon specializes in. I wanted to get the surgery on December 18th, but he convinced me to come in on December 12th because Dr. Bass specializes in facial surgeries. Thanks for your kind words, Lindzee; I wish you the best of luck!! Please keep us posted! :-)

Thanks so much for your reply! You definitely put my mind at ease a bit. I will keep my appointment with him and see how it goes. He is actually the person who answered the phone, so I spoke to him briefly and I did get a good feeling from just our short conversation. Good luck with your healing and future plans for the breast lift. I will let you know how everything turns out:)

You shld put Dr. Lawrence Bass in your Doc info alongside Dr. Watts. I think that speaks highly to Guy Watts that he's worked alongside Dr. Bass (who is well known in the field) while he is an attending here at NYEE.

Okay, if I decide to go forward I will definitely add him. Thanks:)

Great idea, thanks!!!

i actually got a tt last august and i am very happy with the recovery and results

Okay, you win :-) Sorry for the sideways photos; they were upright when I posted them!

Very nice result!! :)

Thanks!! I might get brave and post uncensored pics down the road...these pics don't do justice to the huge improvement to my entire visage :-)
