I am so happy with the results of my surgery. The recovery was so easy and the pain was minimal. I had been considering this surgery for a while because I had trouble breathing, and the assymetry of my nose bothered me.

It can be very scary having surgery on your nose, but I felt So comfortable with my doctor. My recommendation would be to choose a doctor that you are comfortable with, that has the same goals as you do, and has a wealth of knowledge. Choosing a doctor with a great reputation made my decision to have rhinoplasty a breeze!

i have had rhinoplasty before and it was not what I had hoped for. I could breathe fine until the surgery. I just wanted a softer looking nose without the hump. I AM THINKING OF GOING to Dallas for a consultation with either your dr. or dr. Gunter. Why did you go to dr. Cochran. I am sure dr. gunter is much more expensisve. I do not want to do this over again. thanks

I also had the same problem. Dr. Cochran did a secondary rhinoplasty for me. He really helped me achieve the softer and Natural look I was looking for! I was also interested in both doctors. Fortunately, they work out of the same office. My recommendation would be to come to Dallas and have a consultation with both Dr. Cochran and Dr. Gunter. I met with both of them and I think that both doctors have incredible experience and expertise in rhinoplasty. After consulting with both doctors, I went with Dr. Cochran because of his surgical approach. I needed a cartilage graft to make my nose more natural looking. Dr. Gunter recommended rib graft, and Dr. Cochran prefers using an ear cartilage graft. Dr. Cochran was also slightly cheaper. Overall, I recommend you meet with both doctors to see what will be best for your surgery and your expected outcome of the procedure! I know now that I made a great choice and I am glad that this was the last time too!

I plan my 3rd revision this summer and I still search for the best nose surgeon. I need help from someone who has already experienced my case to give me some advices because I want that procedure to be my last. I have been through a lot emotionally since my first nose job because of the horrible result. I think about going to dean toriumi in Chicago or to gunter center. But I am confused about dean toriumi after many bad reviews of him that I saw. But I don't know if it is true or not. Please help me I am scare to make a bad decision that will cost the rest of my life.

About $7,000 for my surgery. I know it will vary from doctor to doctor, but more importantly, it will change depending on what procedures are involved that you and your doctor decide to do!
