Dream Rhinoplasty - Chevy Chase, MD

For a long time I've had issues with my nose. I had a deviated septum which caused the right side of my nose to sort of collapse. Most doctors called it an "S" shape nose because of the way it curved. So I had two reasons to get this surgery, functionality and cosmetic. I knew finding the right doctor for me was going to be a challenge. I was an avid viewer of that hit show "botched" and the last thing I wanted to do was botch my face. I did my research and visited 4 plastic surgeons before ultimately deciding to go with Dr. Schoenfeld. I should also note my friend also had a rhinoplasty with him and her results were phenomenal. Rhinoplasty's are expensive but if this is truly something that will make you happy then its worth the investment. I had my surgery on January 5th, 2018 and the first week was really tough. Not being able to breathe from you nose is annoying and dries out your mouth. Sleeping can be difficult as well but luckily my doctor prescribed me Ambien. I took the pain medicine that I was prescribed for 2 days and then I switched off to Tylenol on the 3rd. So pain really wasn't too bad for me. I barely bruised but swelling was noticeable. The office gave me a little care package pre-surgery that included supplements for bruising and swelling which I think really made a difference. I'm exactly one month post op and I'm super happy with my results so far. My nose is straight and a tad bit smaller. I wasn't looking for a super fake nose but something that I could have been born with. I definitely still have swelling in my tip but that should subdue over time. If I had the chance to do it all over again I totally would.
