It's been 7 months since my surgery, and my, how...
I know most doctors tell you you'll see your final results by Month 3, but for me, I really became pleased with how things were shaping up around Month 4. Up until that point, I still had some nagging concerns: would the residual bump subside? would the bridge swelling go down, or would my nose look like edamame for the rest of my life? etc etc. These questions seem silly to me now, as I now know I simply needed more time to heal. But hindsight is 20/20.
Dr. Shah was wonderful throughout the entire process. He scheduled regular check-ups every month, and at each appointment, he meticulously scrutinized my progress. He was intently committed to my results as if I was his only patient. Even more astounding, the follow-up appointments are all included in the cost of the surgery. I really couldn't believe how much I got for the price I paid. Actually, when I was first consulting, I saw the price as a red flag. "How come he isn't asking for $8,000 like everyone else?" I asked his office assistant. Haha, this actually concerned me! But now I know he's the real deal: a talented surgeon and a great person who is more interested with changing his patients' lives than getting even richer at their expense.
I just got married a month ago, and looking at our pictures, I know I would have felt much differently about my wedding photos had I not had the surgery. I am absolutely in love with my new nose and SO glad I finally decided to do something about my (literally) biggest insecurity.
I'm baaaack! It's now been a little over 3 months...
Backing up: at the two month mark, I also finally resumed my normal workout routine! Originally, I was afraid that working out would cause my swelling to flare up even more, but that concern turned out to be unfounded. Working out doesn't affect my nose one way or another.
I've updated my review with new pictures -- because, let's be honest, that's all anyone really cares about anyway ;) I've noticed it's super helpful when other reviewers include side-by-side photographic comparisons of the progression of their noses, so I've done the same! You can a timeline of my nose: before and at different stages in my recovery, up until Day
Hahaha, uhhhh, I can't really think of any other details to include. If anyone has any specific questions that I haven't yet addressed, PLEASE feel free to ask in the comments section below!!! After all, that's what this review is here for.
All in all, I'm extremely pleased and have no regrets! I just love my new nose; it feels like the nose I was meant to have all along.
It's been 1.5 months since my surgery and about...
Provider Review
I met with two other plastic surgeons before deciding on Dr. Shah. As a facial plastic surgery specialist who has done over a thousand rhinoplasties, Dr. Shah was the only one who took the time to really listen to my concerns, patiently answer endless my questions and discuss the procedure in such depth to ensure I was completely comfortable moving forward. Over the course of THREE consultations, he scrutinized my nose meticulously and worked with me to generate multiple digital morphs. The time he took with me showed not only his attention to detail, but his commitment to his patients and achieving the best possible outcomes. He demonstrated this meticulousness in surgery; when my nose proved a bit more deviated than expected, Dr. Shah took a full hour extra to work with it until he was satisfied. I can't wait to see how his perfectionism pays off in the next few months as my new nose emerges from the swelling. It's gonna be SHAH-MAZING! SHAH-LLELUJAH!
