I'm finally ready to get rhinoplasty!! I've wanted this for quite some time now, but have been too afraid to consider it. I have anxiety on a daily basis, so you could only imagine how scary this is for me. I truly feel the benefits will outweigh the risk though. I've been doing a ton of research and appreciate everyone's reviews so much! It's comforting to follow people through their journeys. However, I've also read that sometimes real self is misleading and some negative reviews are taken down. I would hope that's not the case.
Anyway, I've come across a lot of reviews by people who have had really great experiences with dr. Ciardullo of white plains NY. I think I may try to call his office. It will be hard for me to get a consultation as I live 4 hours away. I also have concerns because I have had filler in my nose (helped a bit, but not a permanent solution). I'm hoping that they can dissolve whatever is left in order to assess and do surgery. I guess this is a start, to share my thoughts with a community who actually gets where I'm coming from. Don't mind my fabulous artwork haha.

Does anyone have any advice for the beginning stages of consulting? Any experience with Dr. C or anyone else in NY, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey? Does anyone have experience getting rhinoplasty after fillers? Thanks for any advice you have!!

some to a surgeon. Confused.

I had voluma injected into my nose above a dorsal hump and in the tip to smooth out the bump and give the illusion of a lift. It helped a bit and I'm happy for now- but I'd like to have rhinoplasty. My prospective surgeon recommended that I have the filler dissolved and then two weeks later have rhinoplasty. He wants me to return to the original dr for Hyaluronidase. Does this seem like a good idea? I'm worried about offending the previous doctor and getting a poor result from Hyaluronidase. Then having surgery two weeks later? I'm just so confused of what to do. I want to keep the filler for now because I'm in a wedding in June. I'm in a time crunch because my wedding will be in the summer next year, so I want to be healed from rhinoplasty. I also don't know when to take off of work for the surgery due to fear of the filler not being dissolved enough and needing another treatment. Or do I just wing it and hope that it's all been dissolved and go for the surgery? Feeling hopeless, I wish I never did any of this :(

Consultation

I had my filler dissolved and all seems to be going well. I'm having my first consultation in person with Dr. C on Wednesday! We've spoken on the phone a couple of times and I really appreciate his caring attitude. Wish me luck!!
