Rhinoplasty-- Houston, TX

I am not usually the type to write reviews but I find myself on this forum way too often. I figured it could help someone or at least I hope it will. I have been on a journey to find the right surgeon for over a year now. I am 22 years old and I have hated my nose since the 5th grade. I never noticed it until I was teased as a child. Since then I've obsessed over it. I am actually very happy with the way I look EXCEPT my nose. I want people to notice my other features and not my nose! Right now I feel like my nose is the center of attention. I think a rhinoplasty can improve the way I look and boost my confidence too.

I started my journey with my cousin last year. We met with three surgeons and my cousin chose the third surgeon we met. She had her surgery scheduled immediately because she was in a rush to have it done. I wanted to wait at least a year because I had a very busy schedule. I recently cancelled my surgery date for my rhinoplasty with that same surgeon she chose. It's been about 11 months since her rhinoplasty and she is NOT satisfied at all. The surgeon himself agreed and told her that he could have done more and offered to redo it. I thought, well all she wanted was to refine her nose. My nose is a lot more complex than just refining! I was not 100% sure that that surgeon could fix my nose because he does not specialize in facial plastic surgery (he performs several procedures on the body-- rhinoplasty is not something he is known for) I wasn't comfortable with that idea. I am more comfortable with someone who specializes in facial plastic surgery. I have a consultation with Dr. Bressler on May 8th. I am excited and looking forward to meeting him. I really hope Bressler is the one! I am wanting to do this procedure ASAP. I will write an update after my consult.

Cancelled my consult with Bressler and scheduled one with Dr. Athre for May 8th. Thank you for those who commented and messaged me!
