Let me first start off by saying that I have had issues with my nose for as far as I could remember. Not breathing issues, but self esteem issues.
I am my fathers daughter for sure, and I inherited his big bulby nose. ???????????
I knew I wanted to do something about it in middle school but I obviously was too young , and I knew I had to wait.
Well, flash forward to almost 8 years later. I went through high school with my nose, I joined the military with my nose, and I got married with my nose.
Once things finally slowed down for me, I reached out to a doctor in the Seattle area. He made me feel even MORE unsure about doing this.
One I knew that I would be in NC for a few months, I decided to look up doctors in the area and that's where I found Dr. kulbersh.
I had my first consultation yesterday ( 28 feb) and I can honestly say I am scared to death , lol. Not because of him, but because i am actually doing this!
Dr. Kulbersh made me feel like a valued patient, and after talking with him yesterday I know I am in great hands. He definitely knows what he is doing and what he is talking about.
I have surgery scheduled in two weeks (17 mar)!
I will add more as time goes on !

I had to pay out of pocket because it was half cosmetic purpose.

Hi, I am so happy to her of your experience from this procedure. I feel the same way since elementary/middle school and all through high school. I am now 23, and want to finally feel comfortable in my skin. If you could, could you possibly updated pictures of your nose? I am really looking for a doctor good at the tip of the nose. And we have similar noses, this wold be very helpful. Thank you.

Deviated septum

I forgot to mention that Dr. K mentioned that I had a deviation in my septum.

This could be when I got injured in 5th grade, but I'm not completely sure.

Had anyone else had issues with deviated septums?

Is that the cost with insurance after your deductible? The reason I ask is because I'm a little worried what the cost is going to be for the rhinoplasty part. After getting my estimate for the septoplasty seems a bit high even with insurance. My first consultation for septoplasty was quoted at $12.5k at the insurance rate with a $7.1k deductible for 100% coverage. I know the rhinoplasty part will be out of pocket but how much?

I actually didn't go through insurance for my procedure. It's was a personal choice and I made the decision to pay out of pocket. Is that price through the same Doctor as me or a different one?

Different doctor. I'm from Minnesota, and I have a feeling it's going to be all the same cost unless I go out of state. The medical center I went to gave me two prices, one with insurance $12.5k, and without $15k and that's just septoplasty. I think for your price out of pocket is a really good deal especially if your satisfied with your results.
