What the procedure was like and healing process:
Went smoothly, recovery till I felt mostly normal was about 3 weeks. Recovery included: not being able to breathe due to swelling, horrible itching from the cast and stitches, and a really funny smile for about 3 weeks post op.
I got the cast off and stitches out on day 6, and could already see a big swollen version of what the final result would be. I loved it from the minute I saw it.

Provider Review
After hating my huge nose for the majority of my life, I researched many doctors and liked Dr. Cochran's work the best- he had natural, individual results. I drove 5 hours to get to the consultation and surgery, which was worth it! His staff is great, and he is good at explaining what to expect. I emailed the staff (especially Jan!) many times to make sure everything was in place and any questions I had (before and after). One of the great parts was the 3D technology so you can get an idea of what you will likely look like after surgery.If you are considering Rhinoplasty- Dr. Cochran is one of the best. Thanks to Dr. Cochran and the Gunter Center for giving me a new sense of confidence and an AMAZING new nose.
