I am a 22 year old living in Miami, Florida with a huge family residing in Colombia. I've wanted a rhinoplasty procedure done for as long as I could remember, especially after being teased about looking like an avatar or parakeet. Finally, after saving up, and knowing that my family was traveling to Medellin, I went forward with scheduling a rhinoplasty. I chose a doctor who was registered with the Society of Colombian plastic surgeons. My first appointment on Monday with Dr John Orlas Blair was very comforting. He speaks to you in a way that assures he knows what he's doing and he didn't pressure me into having something I didn't want. He sat me in a chair, brought a mirror, and asked what I didn't like about my noise. I explained I would like the hump removed, the sides a bit straighter, with a very slight lift of the tip. He agreed and immediately was able to schedule me for the Saturday of the same week. On Tuesday, I did blood tests, which went well. They said I was very healthy. Friday, I met with the anesthesiologist. The big day was Saturday. My surgery appointment was scheduled at 10am and I was instructed to arrive an hour early. At 9am, I went in where they asked the same medical questions. They told me the doctor had not arrived yet. At 10:15, I went in to start the IV in my hand which hurt like hell. FINALLY at 10:50, Dr. Blair arrived. He took pictures, went over what he would be doing to fix my nose and I proceeded to the surgery room to start anesthesia at 11am. I awoke at 4am in the recovery room with nurses. They told me i needed to stay on the Antibiotics IV just a bit longer. They changed my drip pad and allowed my family to come see me. After I was dressed and the IV was removed, I was allowed to drink a natural mango juice. Which immediately came back out. I had not eaten in 24 hours. My doctor was already gone when I woke up. Eventually I was ready to go home. I went home where my aunt had prepared soup and nothing stayed down. Everything I tried to eat, immediately came back up. I stayed in bed all day, and when I tried to get up, I felt super nauseous. I made it to the bathroom twice. But that's it. I can't wait til I can eat.. I do not have follow up dates with the doctor. I am supposed to call on Monday which is day 3.

My rhino came out to $1700. USD. I feel great. It was a really good recovery. I took a lot of preventative measures. Just waiting to take the tape off
