Rhino & Tummy Tuck is scheduled for next week so this review is only focusing on the staff (for now).
Sona is amazing! I have my Rhino & TT next week and insisted that 9 days later i go back into surgery to have my breast aug. The doctor gave the a-ok and personally asked his staff that i get priority on the cancellation list. Well Sona made it happen. Honestly it was a group effort as I received calls from others in the office. But Sona was the one who did the leg work :) And if you ever have had to schedule meetings, appointments, whatever then you know its a lot of moving around, coordination, time and effort. I was totally excited until my pre-op, which was yesterday. The evening before I was up the entire night thinking how could i elect to go back into surgery 9 days later when i have no idea how i will be feeling after my Rhino & TT. WTHeck was I thinking!
So yesterday Sona called to see if I could come in earlier since Dr. G got out of surgery early. Well thats when i told her how i was feeling. She said "if you're not 100% ready then no worries, when you come post-op for the first surgery we can revisit the BA then".
Now that is some customer service! She made me feel right about my decision, no pressure and even gave a back-up plan. She is an exceptional asset to the office!
Surgery is next week... I'll be posting about the work then.

Neck travel pillow (u shaped pillow), a couple pillows to elevate your head if you are recovering in bed, vaseline, q tips and ice packs ( frozen bag of peas) yup that's about it. If I was going through rhino again this would be on the top of my list. Good luck with surgery.

Thank you!! I re-read my post and even my typing is rushed. I feel like I'm preparing my entire life for this surgery. As if everything has to be in order.

Once you have your surgery your healing will not be rushed. Enjoy the downtime of doing nothing but recovering.

3kids, a husband, work full time, etc... trust me I can use that down time.
I even subscribed to Netflix last night!

Here is a list of post-surgery supplies that I used post revision
- U-shaped travel pillow (this is your best friend post op)
- Arnica montana, Bromelain
- Arnica gel
- Vitamin C
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Antibiotic ointment
- Facial wipes
- Lip balm (your lips get very dry from breathing from your mouth, mine did!)
- Gauz pads
- Q tips (I used a lot of q tips for my dripping nose post op)
- Saline nasal spray
- Humidifier (very useful)
- Ice pack
- Note book and pen to write when I took my med
All the best!!

And yet still nothing purchased. I'll let you all know what I've purchased as I've been gathering ideas from previous patients. This website really does help.

Hi, I am seriously considering having a septorhinoplasty and tummy tuck and haven't actually found anyone on here that had these procedures at the same time!...seems to be an unusual combo!....everyone is having breast augmentations and rhinos....I was getting worried thinking maybe it's not a good combo to have but I'm glad I've found someone that is also doing it!....Id be really grateful to hear how you feel and get on etc....my surgeon says as I'm relatively fit and slim the recovery shouldn't be too bad!?...best of luck with your surgery hope you are relatively pain free!...look forward to hearing about it...

Wow, really exciting! I hope you'll keep us posted on your rhinoplasty here. What do you not like about your current nose? If you haven't already you might want to check out the mommy makeover community here (TT plus breast work)?
