African American Female Rhinoplasty Mount Sinai, NYC residents program

I won't be uploading any facial pictures tonight. I've never really been a picture person and my tip is still sooooo hard. I'm still happy with my decision because I know my nose Had a weird shape and I see a major difference. This is a wait game guys and not everyone will feel comfortable have a resident work on their face. I've gotten messages from people interested in Mount Sinai RESIDENTS CLINIC. Using a teaching clinic didn't bother me because I'm an RN n I know that these teaching schools are big on patient satisfaction. Dr Jablonka was so cute, sincere, nice, and honest. He worried about me scarring. He said He was concerned about that due to my thick skin. But I've been putting scar cream on my nose (tube is in the picture) and on my left breast. No pain in my breast rib area at this time. It did hurt for the first 2 weeks though.

It's 19 days after my surgery and let me tell you this has been rough. First of all, under my eyes still have black areas which has distorted the way I look and feel. I didn't have a bridge and I didn't want a big one. Dr Jablonka cut under my left breast to get my rib. That cut has closed very nice and I'm putting scar cream on it. I've been putting scar cream on the sides of my nose although you really can't see any scars. I can't even see the one on the middle part of my nose. The tip of my nose is super swollen and although one side has taken its shape the other side has not. It's HARD. I see a major difference and I'm hoping once the tip drops and the swelling goes down it will be even better. Dr Jablonka told me to come back in three weeks for steroid injections if I'm still super swollen ----------I don't so snap chat filters because I want you guys to see the REAL DEAL. I can't deal with the SC filters pictures!!! However, I have makeup around my eyes due to the dark bruising spots. I'm not a makeup person at all!!! Happy Valentines Day! I was trying to at least feel like a person today because it's been a rough and emotional road since January 26th.

RealSelf isn't letting me put 1/26 for the procedure date. What's up with that?
---------I paid $3,515 for a rhinoplasty with RIB GRAFTING today with Dr. Peter Taub and Chief Resident, Eric Jablonkam at Mount Sinai Hospital on Madison Ave in Manhattan, NY. I'm not sure who did what but I would assume it was the resident so he could get his experience . I'll know more on Tuesday when I get the cast removed. I just took Amoxicillin and Arnica and I'm eating pineapples at this very moment while typing this before going to bed.
------------After much research and going to three other places for consultations I chose this hospital's residency program because I did my nurse training at Mount Sinai and love how they operate.
-----------I'm exhausted because I had my surgery this morning and the anesthesia is on of course. Goodnight dolls and Kens.
