WORTH IT
I have been wanting my nose done for years, and in October 2019 I finally decided to do it. I specifically looked for doctors who have done African-American noses because it takes a special skill to get our noses right without losing our ethnic features. I met with another doctor prior to meeting with Dr. Kulbersh. Dr. Kulbersh was very friendly and knowledgeable. I had researched his work and was impressed, and we went over every detail of the procedure. He asked me what I didn't like about my nose and handed me a mirror to show him. My nose was wide, bulbous, and flat and had a slight hump from the side view. We took pictures, and he pulled up my photos and altered my nose using photo editing software to my liking. I booked my appointment for the next month. I had another in-house consultation with him for my pre-op appointment, and we went over everything again and took pictures. Day of the surgery, of course, I'm super nervous. The anesthesiologist was pretty stoic, but the nurse Angela was great. I had to remove all of my clothing, and they provided a gown and comfy fuzzy socks. I met with Dr. Kulbersh again that morning prior to going under, and we discussed everything again. My mom and I had to be there at 6:30 am, and we were on our way home around noon. Heather helped me get dressed when I woke up and wheeled me to my mom's car. The pain wasn't bad. I had to take pain medicine for two days because it felt like someone punched me in my nose. I believe I had to wear a gauze for about 4 or 5 days. A week later I was back to get the stitches out and the cast off. That entire experience sucked, but it was quick. I loved my nose immediately. I am seven months post op, and I am still very happy. My nostrils are slightly crooked, but only I notice because I stare at my nose every day. Other than, it is perfect. It looks like I was born with this nose. Thanks Dr. Kulbersh!
