I'm thinking getting the same surgeries but I'm still looking around for a surgeon that worked with Asian noses. Would you say that you are happy with your results? Your help will be much appreciated.

I am very happy with my results. I am so happy that I went with Dr Gervais. He also has really good reviews on Realself here too.

Are you able to post a before and after pic of your nose? I really want to see if you don't mind. It will be really helpful for me since it's something I want to get done too. Having a hard time deciding who I should go for an Asian rhinoplasty. Thank you

how did the surgeon build up the bridge of your nose? Is it cartilage? Or some kind of implant? It looks really good!

Thank you. The surgeon used synthetic plastic material because I did not have much cartilage to work with. Which this would have been my first choice because I also have small ears and possibly not much cartilage there too.

My surgery started at 9am on 1/15/16. I was a little nervous but all went well. Dr Gervais made his marks and the anesthesiologist Norm came in the ask questions and began with the IV. Norm was funny and that really helped with my bit of anxiety. After that was complete, my husband was asked to leave the room. I went into the operation room and layer down. Norm said that he was going to put the meds thru the IV and in what seemed like less than a minute, I was passed out. I woke up to being in a different room and my nurse and husband was there. I was very loopy and kept asking repeated questions. After that, we left and went home. The drive was short because the office was only 8 miles from home. I came home with no pain whatsoever and went back to sleep. My husband took care of the timing for the meds throughout the whole week. That really helped because I was not stable. I was originally a 36B and I have uneven breasts. My right is lower than my left . So I went with 575cc to the right and 616cc to the left. I chose The moderate plus profile with the inflammatory incision. Dr. Gervais has worked on the Asian rhinoplasty before and knew exactly what I was looking for. I understood that due to my bulbous nose, there was only so much that can be done to get a pointer and more defined nose. So he did what he could. And that was great to hear because the DR from the Other consultation that I had before said that he did not know how to perform an Asian rhinoplasty and his buddy will have to do it. Which will mean more cost since two separate surgeons and billed from another clinic. I chose Dr Gervais because he was able to perform both surgeries and the cost was lower and he has done the operations with patients of Asian descent.
