9 year update!
My only regret is getting my original surgery at the tender age of 22 when I wasn’t knowledgeable. That surgeon took off too much alar, and this can’t be fixed unless you take off even more which I refused. One nostril is bigger than the other but I’ve learned to live with it. As you see, I know my nice angles. :)
Got a little filler to fix the notching on the nostril from my first doctor taking too much from my alar. It’s softened the line so my nostril doesn’t look V shaped.
Hope this helps. XO
Almost 4 months...
I won't be updating until 6 months.. I'm praying by then my smile would have returned fully. :)
2 months post op - forgot to mention
Also, my nose no longer throbs. It use to throb especially when I get up fast, or lean forward too much, or do thinks that normally raise your blood pressure.
Provider Review
Dr. Hamilton was very pleasant, down to earth, funny, knowledgeable, and honest. From the start, we shared a common interest of just improving the things I wasn't happy with. He gave an honest opinion on what was fixable and what was not. I literally found him on RealSelf from other ladies hearing of him but no reviews, so then I did more research on google. I didn't have 100s of reviews to go on, I literally went with a gut feeling after our phone consult plus I researched his credentials and experience. I saw Facial plastics/reconstructive fellowship and a head/neck fellowship, surgeon at cedar-Sinai, and teacher in their facial reconstructive dept, and he's written journals about other non-related head and neck. My other surgeon wasn't facial plastics, so this was important to find someone who only deals with the face. During the phone consult and preop consult, he answered questions thoroughly. As RealSelfer @jaedessi said, "He also gave me his thoughts on why some African Americans end up with undesirable/botched nose jobs. He explained how he believes part of it is from surgeons using the same techniques used on Caucasian noses onto ethnic noses, how there's a disconnect between what the patient wants/expresses and what the surgeon actually understands from the patient". I'm happy that we embarked on this journey together. He was so open. His bedside manners are beyond average. The fact that he is a Beyoncé fan, gave him a few extra points :) I felt like he was family and our conversations went from surgery, to books, to family, to life experiences. The fact that he is a people person was beyond amazing, more than I could possibly wish for. If you've had a bad doctor, finding one with these qualities makes you appreciate bedside manners so much. I love his personality.
