WORTH IT
I had a septo-rhinoplasty performed to correct a dorsal hump, as well as a deviated septum. I had always had trouble breathing through one of my nostrils, as well as issues with sinus drainage, and I had always felt self conscious about the profile view of my face and nose because of my hump.
After seeing many doctors over the years, I finally committed to Dr. Kristina Zakhary because she understood the fact that I still wanted to look like myself and wanted a natural looking change.
I was shocked immediately after my procedure because I felt very little pain, had no bruising, and only minor swelling. For one week after surgery I wore a splint, and one week after having the splint removed I wore a paper tape cast. I felt fine to go out in public, the recovery was much scarier in my mind than in reality.
I remember crying out of pure joy when I saw my new nose after the splint came off in week one. I am now three months post-op and I can easily breathe through both nostrils, have a beautiful natural looking nose, and a new self confidence that I can thank Dr. Zakhary for! I can now take photos without worrying about what angle my nose needs to be in, because it is great at every angle!
It truly is a life changing experience, and something I do not regret at all.
