Welcome Aboard My Revision Rhinoplasty Journey =) - New York, NY

I’m finally getting my revision Rhinoplasty surgery next week with Dr. Phillip Miller! Before making my decision to go with this doctor, I saw a well-known surgeon in California and another two here where I live in NYC. Since I got my first rhinoplasty in Miami, it was such a difficult ordeal from me. Having to recover at a hotel versus the comfort of my home was hard, and what was even harder was not being able see the doctor in person during my freak out recovery moments through which I could only call and email him pictures. I feel safer now that I’m undergoing my revision rhino with a very skilled doctor in my own city, Dr. Phillip Miller, and the added bonus is that he is double board certified so I know I’m in good hands. Both the doctor and his staff answered all of my questions thoroughly and were very professional. They spent about an hour with me…. from taking pictures, to altering these pictures to my desired results post-surgery, and answering my many questions/concerns. Also I went in for a second visit with my mom so that she could get a feel for the doctor as well. The traumatic effects of my primary surgery not only affected me, but it affected my whole family. They experienced the emotional roller coaster with me from tears, to self- esteem issues, etc. It has been a journey full of lots of hardships.

I am definitely both nervous and excited for my surgery to happen next week. All I can do at this point is to put myself in God’s hands and trust that I will have wonderful results =).

I'll continue to update once the surgery happens….

Here are some before pictures. I'm hoping for:
- a straight bridge
- eliminate the bulbous tip and achieve more refined tip
- more symmetrical and even nostrils (one is more flared than the other)
Surgery is on Wedensday! Will post some more then :)

Hi just got home from surgery :), still a little woozy
