How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Out in Public
I went back to work on day 13. Went to a wedding on day 12. They say you can go back sooner, but I don't recommend it. When I picked my daughter up from school on Day 5, people were horrified. I had to tell them the truth...that I opted to have selective surgery done. Was thinking about lying and saying that I fell on my nose, but just couldn't do it. At that point I really didn't care because I was so pleased with the results. I could have tactfully said, " mind your business" but I just told the truth. I'm single mom so the softball games,etc., life goes on. I couldn't stay hidden for long. But I most definitely could NOT have gone back to work. I deal with the public.
MEASUREMENTS
My starting distance was 1.8
After surgery 1.3
Initially, Dr. Rodriguez and I discussed final measurement at 1.1......I am glad he talked me out of that. I feel that would have been to short. So Basically, he removed .5 total. Also, Dr. Rodriguez STRESSED- "Its not how much I remove, but rather how much I leave" ! And I think it probably varies patient to patient. Thanks for all the support out there. I had a syringe of restylane injected 2 weeks after the surgery. In the deep wrinkle that was noticeable in some previous pictures. I confirmed with Dr. that this was OK. When the swelling and bruising is gone from the restylane, I will post a final result picture.

Day 13
Went back to work today. Some people stared at my nose but didn't say anything. The ladies that I told said it looked "cute" Two people used that expression. I think It looks better without makeup. Still some numbness and stiffness.
