Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

It's official: This was SO worth it.
And I'm not a doctor or anything, but seriously, if you have the type of nose job that can be done with a closed approach and a doctor who is very skilled at it (which mine is; he learned that way), then DO it! I was terrified of the swelling that I saw in so many other people and dreading having to go through that, but when I got the splint off, the tip was SO refined and small. I'm pretty sure a lot has to do with the fact that it was closed. Like I said before, it's longer die to swelling, but I can live with that. Then I thought it might swell afterward like what happens with others sometimes. It's been almost two days and nothing has changed. It might be because my doctor is having me wear my splint whenever I can (at home relaxing, in bed, etc.) for the next two weeks and because I continue to sleep with my head up, eat little sodium, eat lots of fruits with vitamin C, and drink tons and tons of water. I am very, very happy so far.

I got my splint off today, whooooo! Unfortunately,...
I got my splint off today, whooooo! Unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy it because right before that I locked my keys in my car in metered parking and was stressing about what I was going to do about that...
Throughout the day, I kept looking at my nose. I was amazed at how thin the tip was and with no swelling. THEN I got home and saw my profile and remembered that he had said the swelling would be to the front---yeah, he wasn't kidding at all. I look like Pinocchio and wondered if people had been horrified at the sight of me. But then I looked at it more and realized that it's not really that bad and at least it's not forever. I don't think so, anyway. I emailed him about it just to make sure it really is swelling.
As long as that really is swelling (I don't think your nose can magically get longer through taking cartilage out, so I'm not overly concerned, just a little), I think this will be worth it. I feel like my nose does fit my face better, and I feel like my eyes are drawn out more now. I'm a pretty happy camper so far. He told me I still have to wear the splint at night and anytime I'm at home for a couple of weeks. He showed me how to do it, but I'm scared I'm going to screw up my nose. Fingers crossed.

Day 3: Isolation I feel like I should be...
Day 3: Isolation
I feel like I should be etching marks on the wall to keep track of time. I can't believe I have five more days until I can be halfway normal! At least yesterday I got out for a little while to see my doctor; now it's just me and my room. I'm not very good at sleeping on my back, either, so I've been tired without being able to sleep. I hope it's all worth it!!
