Finally Decided on Rhinoplasty! - Leawood, KS

When writing my first review, I was very concerned with the progress of my rhinoplasty. After talking to some family and friends, they encouraged me to make an appointment with Dr. Hall just to express to him my feelings. I wish I had done this sooner! After leaving my appointment with Dr. Hall my mind is totally at ease. He listened and understood exactly what my concerns were, and where I was coming from. I wish I had consulted him before my meltdown. Being an extremely emotional female, haha, I feel I completely jumped the gun, and worried myself for no reason. After meeting with Dr. Hall I feel very encouraged and confident in our plan to go forward. My advice for anyone reading this is to be sure to express ALL of your feelings with your doctor. They are not mind readers! Haha, it will save you some wrinkles in the future, which by the way your plastic surgeon can fix. ;) Best of luck!

For as long as I can remember, I have been self conscious about my nose. In high school girls used to make fun of me for my "big nose". I finally was finically able to get rhinoplasty. I had my consultation with Dr. Hall in early October 2012 and had my surgery in mid November 2012. After having my bandages removed, I was pretty startled. I had a hard time seeing any difference at all. I knew that it was extremely swollen and bruised though. Each month for about 5 months, I really tried to see a difference as the swelling slowly went down. I had a 6 month follow up consultation with Dr. Hall and I kind of expressed to him that I was concerned with how it was healing, that I couldn't tell much of a difference. He assured me that it was still very early in the healing time and that it would take up to a year to see the final result. A year later in mid November 2013, I had my last consultation with Dr. Hall. I was very nervous because after a year, I saw such a little difference, at times it would break me down to tears. My mother and sister both supported me saying that they could not see a great improvement. For my final follow up, my mother went with me. Honestly, we thought that Dr. Hall would examine my nose and immediately offer to do it again, since in my FIRST consultation with Dr. Hall he assured me that if I was not 100% satisfied with my final result he would perform the procedure again. He looked at my nose, and said "Yeah, I'm pretty pleased with it." That was it! Nothing else. My heart literally sank. I had to hold back tears until after my mom and I left the office. We recently had the before and after pictures sent to our home address so we can possibly schedule another appointment. We are just waiting for them to arrive. Dr. Hall was a very nice guy, and me made me feel very comfortable and confident with him. I never thought that this would be the end result. I could have put a nice down payment on a new car! It is extremely disappointing and quite depressing.
