My first Consultation update review with Dr. C.
For instance, everyone who I read about that went to him, basically said that he'll tell you bluntly what he thinks needs to be done to your nose....which is fine and all because I love honesty, but I just didn't get the professional vibe from him....I don't know, maybe it's just me but I just felt that maybe he isn't as cracked up as he's claimed to be. We did exchange some laughs and it was however a pretty nice experience considering the fact that I actually went to my first consultation, it was kind of a surreal moment, so maybe that's why I didn't feel everything that I thought I should've felt going into it. Money is kind of an issue for me, so I probably won't be getting my Rhino done anytime soon, but I figure I'll just wait it out and see how other peoples noses turn out on here that are getting the surgery done by him fairly soon.
I must comment on his office, it's pretty small, but it has an elegant taste to it...however the operating room and the room where I'd be "resting," at after surgery doesn't look too appealing. Idk, I'd just expect everything to look pretty brand new, not old and run down.....Honestly, the vibe that I got from his surgery area and post-op area gave me the feeling it was some sort of back alley surgery shop. LMAO....I feel like I might be being a bit too harsh but I feel like his surgery area could be a lot nicer looking, more professional, and clean. BUT, this is my first consultation and I'm not sure on how everything is suppose to look exactly.....I just think his surgery area looked a bit run down....I definitely think he needs to move his office or do some type of remodeling.......Any who. I feel like I might be critiquing way TOO much but I didn't really get the "OHMYGOD HE IS DEF YOUR SURGEON, PICK HIM!!!!" feeling....which really disappoints me....but who knows, he could be a really great surgeon, and I'm just judging too harshly.
Okay, so other than my consultation update...everything seemed to go fairly well I guess.
Sorry I haven't updated y'all in like a month...I've been up and down with my depression lately and I just recently lost my medication so I'm really withdrawing and feeling the effects. I won't be getting my meds until Tuesday, so I've got a little wait, and it feels like FOREVER........
Another thing I'd like to comment on, without sounding too judgmental or harsh on the other girls who've gotten Rhinoplasties on here. I can't help but comment on the girls who were super GORGEOUS before they got their nose job and then when they got it, they HATE their new nose....I'm talking about the girls who legit post in their "about me," section on how attractive they were prior surgery and how they knew they were good looking and that pretty much everyone found them gorgeous and now they feel so ugly after surgery....I really just want to tell them they should've NEVER done anything to their nose, especially knowing how incredibly beautiful they already WERE. If it ain't BROKE don't fix it.....I feel like some girls who're already gorgeous feel the need to keep on IMPROVING their already gorgeous look and let me tell you, a serious surgery like Rhinoplasty isn't a good idea.....I feel like Rhinoplasty is for people like myself, who've been struggling with a nose that doesn't quite fit their face and distracts from all their other features that could appear nice but can't because their NOSE is in the way. Also for people like myself who've felt unattractive for many years because of that certain part on their body.....I mean, if you KNOW you were pretty damn good looking to begin with, why bother getting surgery? There's nothing attractive about a woman who's ALL perfect, sometimes it's their faults that really make them beautiful. It just makes me mad you know, because if I looked like how they looked prior to their surgery, I wouldn't of changed a thing and just kept myself the way I was.........
I'm sorry if I'm sounding too harsh for those who've had their noses done and are simply unhappy with it.....but I'm really aiming this to the ones who already knew they were gorgeous in the first place, but just couldn't help themselves but try to make themselves look even BETTER.
Tip: If you're already in the 90% area of accepting yourself the way you are without physically changing yourself, then DO not get plastic surgery, you run the HUGE risk of turning your already beautiful face into something less desirable.
Now if I get Plastic Surgery and mine turns out bad, I already thought myself as an unattractive person already...if I already thought I was pretty dang attractive, I would not be wanting to get the surgery.
Provider Review
Okay, so I finally did it...I've set up my first consultation ever for my Rhinoplasty which takes place on May 1st 2013 of this year. Let me tell you, I'm pretty dang excited and nervous as well.....I think I've found a Rhinoplasty surgeon the east coast near me who is within driving distance (3.5) hours that seems like they rate when it comes to Rhinoplasty.....I'm however very nervous because I asked the lady at his office if he does computer imaging and what not...and she said he does not....that he doesn't believe it's an accurate portrait of his work, basically something along those lines. P.S. The doctor I'm consulting with is Dr. Robert Ciardullo....and when I heard that....my heart dropped.....My question is....IS that a red flag? The fact that he doesn't do computer imaging? OR is that just me being silly. I feel like most Surgeons these days do computer imaging, and ALTHOUGH they don't come out looking exactly like the picture, it obviously gives the patients a perspective of what the doctor is going for...you know? SO. I know there's quite a few people on here that have gone to Dr. C for a nose job, how did that make you feel when he didn't do computer imaging!? I'm sooooooooo curious.....PLEASE respond. Thank you. I just don't want to come out with a huge wide looking nose if I didn't have one to begin with.
