I've been wanting a nose job for as long as I can...

WORTH IT$7,500
I've been wanting a nose job for as long as I can remember. My family used to joke around that they had no idea where my wide nose came from. I've been talking about getting it done for years but finally I made the decision to go through with it. I went to a few other plastic surgeons before choosing doctor Dishell. I went to Beverly Hills and was quoted at $12,800 which was way out of my price range. My Dad was referred to Dr Dishell by a plastic surgeon in Westlake Village and I couldn't be more thankful. Dr Dishell and his staff were all so nice and helpful and they even worked with the pricing as my insurance had to large of a deductible. I was nervous that Dr Dishell was older but the more I thought about it he's had more experience than anyone in his field and even though he is partially retired he chooses to still do noses because that's what he loves to do! I highly recommend Dr Dishell and his staff :)

I'm happy for you! Can I ask how much this place charged you?

Thanks :) It was $7500 my insurance wouldn't cover any of it because I was "out of network"

Your nose looks great now. The doctor sure did a wonderful job. Looks like it was worth it!

How much did it cost you? Did your insurance pay for some of it?

Day 2

Today my eyes have been extremely swollen, my pain has gone down from yesterday. I had a smoothie bowl for breakfast, some mashed potatoes and soup. I've been extremely nauseous and have had a stomach ache (I'd probably rather be in pain). My Doctor called me today and he explained that the nasea was probably because of the antibiotics and to make sure I was taking my Norco with food. Although I can barely open my eyes today, my Mom has already said she can see a huge difference and my face looks less round and my nose looks more feminine. Just gotta take one day at a time, I know the bruising and swelling will be going on for a while.

I thought your nose looked great before the surgery but I'm sure it will look even greater after

I disliked my nose when I smiled as it looked much wider and the tip drooped drastically. I didn't have an issue with my nose when I didn't smile, I found that to be my most attractive angle for my nose so I never would smile. I've seen a lot worse noses but I'm happy with my decision :) Thanks!
