Love my new nose by Dr. Charles S. Lee!
I have gone to 2 in-person consultations with...
Is anyone out there considering Dr. Most at Stanford or Dr. Charles S Lee in Beverly Hills, and exchange info or encourage each other? I am so anxious and all I can think about is my nose and surgery!

I've booked my surgery with Dr. Lee on June 6! I'm so excited. I just hope I won't regret this decision.
Hi there, how's your research coming along -- have you found a doctor yet?
Awesome, actually I just saw your update. I will have you added to our surgery calendar as well. So excited for you! Also, you can check in here for additional support, it's a great place to meet a recovery buddy and share tips.
Surgery Date Set with Dr. Lee!
I'm also contemplating on having ThermiTight done at the same time for my neck and lower cheeks hoping that the procedure would sharpen my jawline and help keep it that way for a few more years until more invasive procedure is needed.

Going for It Finally, Surgery Date Set!
Thank you for sharing your journeys on RealSelf! I've been reading a lot of your rhinoplasty experiences and it is really helping me mentally get ready for my own surgery!
I've always hated my short nose with big round flared nostrils that are visible from the front. It seems to have gotten worse with age, too, like the nose is sinking into my face (?)
I've entertained the thought of getting a rhinoplasty for years, but I started looking into it seriously at the beginning of last year. I've actually had a total of 4 consultations before I decided on Dr. Charles S. Lee in Beverly Hills.
Even though I am not in the area, I chose Dr. Lee because 1) I love his natural "after" photos and trust his sense of aesthetics on Asian faces; 2) Dr. Lee himself always responds to my emails and texts promptly which is amazing considering how busy he must be. His nurse Misako is also extremely gracious and always makes time to talk on the phone or text if I have questions; 3) His office provides apartments for out-of-town patients at an incredibly low rate.
I am looking to have 1) my nose tip lengthened and projected by cartilage grafts; 2) my flared nostrils narrowed by alarplasty, and possibly 3) alar rim grafts to bring down the nostril walls to match the lengthened tip.
My pre-op consultation (where I meet Dr. Lee for the first time in person) is set for May 14, and my surgery date is June 6. I am excited and soooo ready for this!!!
