WORTH IT

At the age of 16, I asked my parents for a nose job and they proceeded with NO! No one could imagine how much I disliked my nose, and felt very insecure about its appearance. After meeting Dr. Zubowicz, I was ready to take the leap of doing something for myself that would be become the confident woman that was always trapped inside. Additionally, I had been seen by many doctors regarding my migraines. After an MRI, I was told that my deviated septum was a cause in pressure from my sinuses building and causing my migraines.

Your nose looks amazing I have been considering this procedure. What is the pain level on a scale of one-10

I have to be honest, I did not have any pain. It was more uncomfortable more than anything. I only took my pain meds for two days, and that was because I was scared that I was going to be in pain. The uncomfortableness comes from having the packing in your nose and having to breathe out of your mouth. My packing was taken out day two, so really only one day of that was bearable. The other discomfort was from not being able to blow my nose, yet feeling like it was running. So, to answer your question, my pain level was a 1.

That's what I have been the most fearful of is the pain from all of the rhinoplasty surgeries that I have seen your bruising and swelling didn't look bad. How long before you were able to take off the bandages and return to work

I went back to work one week after the procedure. My packing was taken out one day after the procedure, my bandages and cast came off four days later.

You can still see the tip is swollen and it moves based on what side I sleep on at night. With this new nose, I don't even wear make-up. In the second pic, I am at work with no make-up. I am so happy with my FACE and much more confident about my natural appearance.

your nose looks really natural and harmonious with the rest of your face now. So glad you have found the fix for the problems caused by the deviated septum that was probably the cause of your migraines, plus at the same time achieved a great cosmetic result too!

Thank You! I feel like it looks very natural. Most people have no idea, but no more migraines, I'll take that!
