Rhinoplasty. Chicago, IL

As far as the procedure itself it was not bad at all. They put me under general anesthesia so the last thing I remember was counting to 100 which I maybe made it to 10. When I woke up I was being taken to the post operative area and to my surprise no pain. I did feel a little groggy though. After arriving back home I was a little sleepy from the anesthesia so I slept and lounged around the rest of the day. I next day I didn't even take the pain medication because I felt great. I didn't look so great though. I had large bruises around my cast and eyes like someone punched me and gave me two black eyes. I didn't go out much the next week until I got my cast off because of how I looked but physically I felt as if I could do just about anything. When the cast came off to my surprise the bruising was almost gone, still some swelling though. I think this is due to the arnica I had been taking faithfully for a week prior to the surgery. This is truly a magic pill. By week two the swelling went way down and I was so pleased with the results. My nose looked so cute and tiny and the bump that was once there was completely gone. I was even able to return to work early. I returned after a week and 1/2 when I originally planned for two. Overall my procedure was a piece of cake and i'm so happy I did it.

I went to doctor Ross because of all of the great reviews he had. His bed side manner isn't the best because he seemed very rushed and told me what I should do instead of getting my input on how I wanted to look. It wasn't such a terrible thing though because I wan't sure exactly what I wanted I just wanted to look more refined and symmetrical. He assured me he would make me the best "me" I could be instead of trying to imitate some celebrity. I loved the results and even the recovery time was less then expected which shows that he knows what he's doing. I would definitely go to him again or recommend him because the final results are all that matter at the end of the day.
