Rhinoplasty. Chicago, IL

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.

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.
