He is a gem, and I feel so blessed to have stumbled upon him. He's a gift to the world, and such a character. His staff is also wonderful. They make you feel at home and take great care of you. For me that's the best, especially someone working on your face. Dr. Seckel was the first surgeon that made me feel comfortable and safe. It took years of searching, a lot of traveling, but I'm so glad I found him.

you have one of the best transformations I've seen on here. If you don't mind me asking--what made you feel comfortable going with a doctor who performs full body procedures as opposed to going with a plastic surgeon specializing in the face? He doesn't have many pics on his website, what made you choose him after years of searching?

Like I always say, I don't want to jinx myself. I'm not done healing. So far I'm very happy, but I've seen some noses change a lot within the first year. At the time I had seen a few surgeons, traveled all over, cried a lot, and got really depressed. In all this time it didn't dawn on me that he isn't a nose specialist. After having met with the others, not sure it was a concern at that time. It was fate that while I was about to give up I met my Dr.. Some Dr's argued with me, and really put me in a bad position emotionally. He was the first Dr. that told me he was 100% confident in doing my nose. He was the first Dr. who when I showed a photo of what I wanted said that was exactly what he wanted to do. He was enthusiastic and really excited about working on me, and really seemed to have a vision. He also had worked with a Dr. who worked on someone very close to me. All these things made me feel he was the right one. My personal opinion is that it was fate. For me I had to find someone I trusted and respected as a person. In that sense he was perfect for ME. I do think it's a very personal thing. Everyone has very personal expectations...so it's best to take time on your search, and find the one who suits you best, and can truly see the changes you want to see in yourself. :) hahhaha super tired -___-

Hey everyone, It's been over a month since my surgery. I'm feeling pretty good. I've been taking it easy. Lately though, I've been craving a lot of food that's not the healthiest. My nose swells up and down. One day I love it, the next day I think it needs improvement. Looking at old photos really helps me get over the rough days. Knowing that its not going to be absolutely perfect also helps. It's best to be patient and just wait it out. The worst that can happen at this point is I need a little touch up. My surgeon is elated and loves my nose. People who I haven't seen in a while tell me I look really good, but they either can't tell what the difference is or they are too afraid to say anything hahah. In my case I think it's that they're too afraid. Sooo as days pass the soreness of my nose changes. My surgeon informs me that Im still swollen around the tip area. One day it's sore, next day it's not. I still smell a nasty odor sometimes. The insides are still sore. My scar is invisible and healed nicely. You can't tell anything was done. I'm still very happy, and still vey afraid to be happy because I feel like its too early to be sure hrmmm. Anyway here's some new pics :)

You look so great! Your surgeon did such a good job at not altering your overall look! You still look so much like you, but better! How long did it take before you didn't look strange from the front? I'm 10 days post op right now and from the front, I look pretty weird.

Hi :) the front changes all the time. You need to stay away from salt and alcohol. You swell up instantaneously when you indulge lol I'm not a drinker, but I did have a celebratory drink and my nose swelled for two days after. Take lots of vitamin C, fish oil, and I eat raw garlic a couple times a week. Also water with lemon. I am 90% vegetarian aside from fish i eat on occassion. Not sure that makes a difference. Good luck hope everything calms down for you soon :D

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who left me positive feedback yesterday. I was really shocked at the response. Thank you guys so much, and especially everyone who chatted and e-mailed me here on realself. You are the best, and it has helped tremendously. My nose has since swelled up quite a bit which I was expecting and isn't showing much definition. I'm still really happy with my decision, and I know it's going to be swelling like this for a long time. Ill continue to update with photos of my progress here and there, but it's back to work for me and I won't have much time
