WORTH IT$8,890
I just wanted to let anyone reading this know most of the numbness is now gone from my nose. Around the nostrils and septum there is still a little but it in no way is bothersome. The spot where I assume the change was made has a sharp feeling bone, like a deep V on one side. This isn't something you can see but to feel it is a little strange. I have forgotten about my nose which is the best thing that could ever happen to me. I'm still so happy I made this decision, it was worth the money for sure!

Cast and stitches are off
Amazing work! Dr. C removed my cast and stitches yesterday. I am stunned by the work he did. Amazing! My profile is now exactly as I wanted, streamline but not too curvy. No more bump! He also repaired some severe scarring I incurred as a child due to a dog attack. My right nostril always had an unusual appearance and was tiny compared to the left. He was able to utilize the tissue in my nose to repair the shape.
It will take some time before both nostrils are even but he gave me a realistic plan for the next year to help in this process of balancing. Choosing Dr. Cochran for my rhinoplasty is one of the best decisions I have ever made. His whole team was above expectations, the surgical institute was wonderful! I really admire this groups
down to Earth demeanor and constantly positive energy. I wouldn't look any further when choosing a surgeon. I ran into one of his patients as we were entering the building, she and her mom were so happy with the results the young gal had, her nose was beautiful! I've talked to a few other patients of Dr. C's here on
Realself and thus far, not a single bad or unideal experience has been mentioned. If you elect to have rhinoplasty prepare yourself emotionally, this can be a difficult process for your significant other. Take two friends with you if you can, your loved one is going to need emotional support as they look after you in Dallas too.
Your surgery may not be the same as mine, but I've coughed up a lot of blood (from my sinuses). I am very obsessive about cleanliness especially with the after care. Be sure you wash your hands 20 seconds+ before you do anything with your nose. Steer clear of doors, friends arm space, and keep jumping pets at bay! I will update my photos soon. If you have any questions about my procedure I am happy to answer! Not everyone's will be the same, but I feel confident that anyone is in good hands with Dr. Cochran. ^_^

Oh yeah! We stayed at the Hyatt on 12411 N Central Expressway. 90.00 a night. Very clean, awesome downstairs diner open 24-7 with vegan options! :) Just have to ask the lovely gals there. If I return to Dallas, that will be my hotel of choice foreeverrr

Sayya! Congratulations on your surgery!!!!! Can't wait to see pictures!! Thanks for sharing your experience with your great write up!
I had my consultation with Dr C on April 27th and forgot to update this thread. The consult went well, he is very down to earth and realistic in terms of what he can and can't do. I felt confident immediately that he knows what he is doing and that I'd be in good hands. He spent so much time with me answering all sorts of questions, it was awesome! I am in the process of booking with him although he is already booked up through mid-July, I'm working with the office to hopefully get squeezed in! He's a busy guy for sure! I'm so glad to hear that you had such a positive experience! You are one of many people that I've messaged with who are happy with their results, woo hoo!!! Can't wait to see your pictures!!! And thanks for the info on the hotel!! I stayed at the Hawthorne Suites, 10 mins from his office, $110 per night...probably will check out the Hyatt when I book the surgery!

I'm so excited for you!! The Hyatt was great and inexpensive. Keep me posted on your progress. What did he say he will need to do on your nose?

Hi there! I'm super nervous, but very excited!!! His assessment about my nose was completely on the same page with my own assessment, which was nice. My nose projects too much, my bridge is too wide, my tip is too rounded/bulbous. So he is shaving down my bridge to thin it out and to bring in the projection and then reining in my tip - lol - which is droops and is bulbous. It's a lot, totally doable. I had trouble getting used to my 3D images, but now that I am used to it, I really like them although I'm meeting with him a few days before my surgery to change the tip a little big (make it less pointy maybe?). I guess I'll know more when I talk to him. I have all the confidence that he's the right guy. This is such a big decision that I've wanted to do my entire life and I can't believe it's almost here!!
