WORTH IT
I had a rhinoplasty and septoplasty done by Dr Rodrigo. My septum was severely deviated and it had to be broken in four places to set it straight. From a cosmetic point of view I had the small bump on the ridge of my nose removed and my nose tip refined. I had reacted badly to the septoplasty and after the surgery I looked like I had two black eyes and one eye was almost swollen shot. Within the next couple of days the swelling from around my eyes started migrating down to my cheeks and I looked like a chipmunk for a couple of days. Despite how bad I looked after the surgery, my recovery was quick and I was able to go back to work after 8 days of the surgery. By that time others didn’t notice the remaining swelling and I could cover the bruising which had turned yellow, with makeup. It took me a while to get used to my new nose. I saw it for the first time six days after the surgery at which point it was still very upturned from the swelling and piggy like which caused me quite a bit of distress. It would have been better if I didn’t look at my nose until I went back to work by which time my nose had started dropping back to its normal place. Post surgery I didn’t experience pain but I had a lot of pressure in my face like when you have a very bad cold and this pressure (which got worse at night) and not being able to breathe through my nose for a week did wear down at my nerves and made me very irritable. My nose shape continued to improve as the remaining swelling (perceptible only to me) went down although this did take 3-4 months. I now love my new nose and I am very happy that I had the surgery done. Dr Rodrigo is truly a brilliant surgeon! Joanna’s pre-surgery instructions were very clear and I was impressed with the amount of information I received. She was very caring and she helped me get through the post operation days which were quite tough emotionally.

Hi How is everything going? I have a consultation with Dr Rodrigo on 21st April in Budapest, re- revision rhino. Could you tell me,would you definitely recommend the clinic/surgeon and are they excellent with the aftercare/worries,concerns etc? Thanks

Hi Yes I can definitely recommend Dr Rodrigo and the clinic. I have been to him a number of times over the last couple of years and everything he has done has turned out exceptionally well. I have also been to him for two liposuctions, a buccal fat removal from my cheeks, micro botox and for a lip and cheek filler. The nose job is the latest surgery he has done on me and I am already planning what I want him to do next. Dr Rodrigo's patient coordinator, Joanna has been excellent with my aftercare every time, visiting me while I was recovering in Budapest and following up with me via phone and email even after I left. She will be able to answer any questions you may have.

I am going back for another consult at the end of June,as I had my son with me on the last trip and I didn't really get to talk about my wishes,re op. I am going to have a nose job and mini face lift,most probably the lift first. I just cannot wait to get the nose fixed though. Dr Rodrigo doesn't want to do both at once. I will post on here the results etc. TC x

I am consulting with him next week...To hopefully have surgery at the end of the year. I have a deviation (don't know all the medical terms) have been to a few surgeons who were not really interested. On close up pics you can see the deviation and I hate it. I have had a nose job years and years ago after a accidental break,but it was never right..So have lived with it up until about 2yesrs ago when I started contemplating having correcting it. I want it straighned and smaller basically. Could you tell me,what is the 'aftercare' like as this is very important to me. I need to know they will be there for me at least a year after the op. How is your nose now? Thanks

Hi How did your consultation go? Your nose heals within 6 weeks so you don't really need long aftercare although it does take 6-12 months until your nose takes its final shape. If you have major issues you have to go back to the surgeon, the rest can be handled via phone or emails. In any case it is good to go back to a check up after a coupe of weeks. I went back because I still couldn't breath as well as I had expected but it turned out that that had t do with my sinuses and not the nose job.

Went back to Budapest on 28th June to have some dental work. I saw Joanne again and she suggests a septoplasty as I have some deviation. Joanne showed me plenty of before and after pictures..Dr R is a true artist,as there were plenty of deviated noses,which he fixed. I have been searching for a surgeon for some years now and I think he is the one :-)
