WORTH IT$3,500
Procedure was done on December 10, 2015 by Dr. Kim Patrick Murray. Excellent doctor! Very professional and extremely thorough, made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. Likes to stress over little details (which I didn't mind at all since I wanted it to be perfect). My surgery was a Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty the total amount of time in surgery was 6 and half hours. My face has a natural tendency to swell, therefore I was extremely swollen for a total of 15 days (decreasing slowly after the third day). Due to it being during winter vacation time, stitches were removed the fourth day after surgery and cast came off on the sixth day. I was extremely happy with the results, my breathing is significantly better and the physical appearance of my nose looks natural yet perfectly symmetrical! Absolutely worth it, especially since my insurance covered the majority of it. Would absolutely recommend Dr. Kim Patrick Murray!

UPDATE! 6 Months post surgery!
Post surgery I noticed some changes in the bridge and tip of my nose (after the swelling had gone down) which is to be completely expected. Dr. Kim Patrick Murray requires you to check up every two months for an entire year post surgery (which is approximately how long the entire healing process takes). Any unfavorable changes occurring around this time can and will be altered post surgery in his office. Overall my experiences post surgery have been pleasant as Dr. Kim Patrick Murray was helpful and answered all of my questions as well as injected any areas that were deficient.

I just want to add that, I love how he did not touch your upper lip.. What they call tension lip . It would have dramatically changed your face. I've seen a couple of girls on this site very upset about the surgeon shaving their nasal spine and eliminating that. It left a big space between nose and lip. Again, wonderful result . Great surgeon

Thank you so much! My lips were not touched at all but the bone on the bottom was reduced slightly to look more in unison with the new nose. Post surgery recovery however, my lips very pretty plump for about a month.... Not that I'm complaining haha

Hi no that is not including anesthesia, but often patients with breathing problems get part / most of the anesthesia and facility fees covered by their insurance.

Exactly! My insurance paid for the operation itself including anesthesia but only for the inside nose portion, the rest was paid out of pocket before hand. My insurance even refunded my initial operating deposit, so definitely recommend talking with your insurance first! Hope Dr. Murray and I helped! :)

very helpful, thanks for answering :) . I am considering two surgeries at once, so I was unsure wether to go with an ENT or just straightforward surgeon who would do TT at same time. Thanks for helping making a decision.

Gorgeous! You must be so thrilled. And I'm glad your insurance stepped up and covered a lot of it. Thanks so much for sharing on RealSelf.
