Long Awaited Procedure! - New York

It's been sometime since I made a update from my surgery in 2014 with Dr. Slupchynskyj. My changes are so natural most people do not realize what I had done however they certainly are aware that my face has changed! For anyone considering this surgery, it has been 2 years since my surgery date and I'm still pleased I choose Dr.S, my surgery was almost pain free, and within 3 weeks I was back to work as all my bruising had subsided. It took about 3 months for me to see a reduction in the fluctuation of the swelling, and about a year for the majority of the swelling to subside, however the changes in the bridge of my nose and the width were always noticeable to ME. If you have any questions feel free to message me here.

I contemplated having a "nose job" for many years, it is my face after all and any alterations come with some kind of risk. I finally made my decision to move forward in 2013. After months of research I found Dr. Oleh Slupchynskyj of the Aesthetic Institute of N.Y. & N.J. I live on the west coast 3000 miles away, and I had more readily accessible surgeons in one of the largest plastic surgery communities, Beverly Hills, California. Dr.S had knowledge and innovations in technology that surpassed other cosmetic surgeons in the field of African American Rhinoplasty. After speaking with Dr.S it did not take me long to decide he was the surgeon I would choose. My surgery was smooth and painless, I woke up with some mild discomfort however no real pain that required heavy painkiller medication. As expected I had several days of swelling in my face, my main discomfort was due to the inflammation of my nasal walls prohibiting my breathing through my nose "I would compare it to nasal allergies or a really bad stuffed up nose when you have a cold, without the other annoying symptoms." My nose cast was removed the day before I flew back to California, to the average passer by no one was able to tell I was recovering from rhinoplasty. About 4 months later now and most of my swelling has subsided, there are days when I'm working out or I bump it at night and I get more swollen than the day prior, however I am extremely happy with my results and continue to look forward to the changes I see month by month in the reduction of my swelling.
