Got the stiches out yesterday which I felt like I was going to faint, the cast was removed which was really stuck on there so it hurt a little. The stints stay in for another 9 days because he pretty much reconstructed the whole nose.

Cast came off!

Got the cast off and removed the stitches. Still have stints in for 7-10 days more. I have lots of swelling so it's hard to tell what it will actually look like but I'm posting before and after pics already. So far I love it! It's way straighter. Can't wait to see when the swelling goes away

I'm so happy with my choice to have this doctor do my surgery. He is a perfectionist and because of that his results are amazing. He has a very good eye for what a good nose looks like. He noticed something that I only noticed when photoshopping pictures. I didn't even have to mention this, its like we were on the same page from day 1. He was very kind and realistic. He didn't pressure me into the surgery. He actually complimented my nose which made me trust him completely. He took the time to explain everything and the realistic expectations about healing and results. I never felt like he was rushed during my appointments and he has amazing bedside manor. Because of this I'm sure he gets behind schedule a little. The only critic I have is that I had to wait a little for one appointment but it was not too bad. And he was late for the surgery time so I waited a while which allowed my nerves to kick in right before surgery. Again, not a big deal, waiting just made me a little anxious. I would recommend this doctor and if I ever needed something done I would go with him again in a heartbeat. I canceled my other consultations after seeing this doctor because I was confident from the beginning because the consult went well and he seemed to have all good reviews. He is double board certified and very talented at his job. I used insurance for the procedure and he was in my insurance network so I feel so lucky to be able to go with him and get good results so far! I'm still healing a little but it's looking really amazing. Straighter than I imagined it would ever be. I had two surgeries previous to this and I never imagined I would be able to have a normal, straight, breathable nose again.
