Very Talented Surgeon
Dr Bader came highly recommended to me for a septo-rhinoplasty by a friend who had the same surgery and a beautiful result. I always wanted to get a nose job, but changing your face can be quite intimidating and I never had the courage to go through with it. After years of very frequent sinus infections and the inability to breathe out of my right nostril, I finally got motivated to book a consultation. My deviated septum was the culprit and was exacerbating my breathing issues and sinus infections. It got to the point that I couldn't sleep without a Breathe Right strip...and even then, I would gasp for air in the middle of the night. I also wanted to remove the bump on my nose and deproject it a bit to give it a more feminine look. When my friend told me about Dr Bader, I booked an appointment right away. I was looking for a surgeon that excelled in both the aesthetic and functionality of the nose, which can be difficult to find. I visited a couple other surgeons, but they were very non-nonchalant about the details of what they would do and made it seem like I was a routine case. One didn't even have any photos of rhinoplasty patients that he had done! This is where Dr Bader's double Board Certification in both my areas of concern separated him from the rest. It is clear in speaking with Dr Bader that he is an expert when it comes to facial and nasal anatomy and what needed to be changed to make my nose as functional as possible. He was very conservative in his approach, which I really appreciated. Dr Bader was able to show me, using computer imaging, the comp of my final result during my consult appointment, which added an extra level of comfort, and is almost completely necessary these days pre-rhinoplasty, in my opinion. I could tell that he wanted to make sure that I was happy with the look that we came up with together.
During my consultation, Dr Bader took time to listen to areas of concern, and also made a few suggestions that would further improve my look, which I am so glad that he did! He really understands facial harmony and has an artistic flair for an ideal, natural, and "best version of yourself" look. During my consult I also identified some double chin fat that bothered me and Dr Bader suggested doing some chin lipo at the same time, which I am also very happy with. Casey, his aesthetic director, was also very patient, helpful, and fun to work with! I never felt pressured and she was responsive and answered a few more questions I had after my consult as well. I booked my surgery with a few days later.
Like anyone, I was nervous before my surgery. I had done a lot of research online prior to my surgery, which didn't help my nerves. Dr Bader was more than happy to meet with me again to answer new questions that had come up and ease my mind about any fears that I had. He listened and took as much time as I needed to answer (no matter how silly) my questions and provide reassurance and told me what to expect from a recovery perspective.
I have to also compliment Dr Gubert, Dr Bader's board-certified anesthesiologist, who is also fantastic. He took really great care of me as well and made me very comfortable, despite my nerves.
When I woke up from surgery, I felt groggy, but not awful. Dr Bader and Dr Gubert came by to check on me as well. Before my surgery I was fearful of the pain and the splints that would be in my nose for a week, but little did I know I was worried over nothing. Even with the splints in my nose, I was breathing better than I had in my entire life!
The pain (more like discomfort) was very manageable and I had no bruising. My cast came off on its own, due to the swelling subsiding, 5 days after surgery on a Sunday, which had me a little panicked that it would mess up his work. I reached out to Dr Bader and he got right back to me and assured me that everything was fine and it was just there for swelling.
I am now about 7 weeks post-op, and while there is still swelling, Dr Bader accomplished everything we discussed, and my nose is even better than I had pictured it would be. My chin is also healing very nicely, and has improved my overall look, without looking obvious.
If you are considering any procedures for your face, go see Dr Bader! Rhinoplasty is a surgery of millimeters, so choosing the right surgeon is crucial. He is confident in his approach, but is also very approachable and reassuring. I felt as though he really cared about accomplishing all of my goals, but also exceeded my expectations. I can breathe out of both nostrils now AND I am more confident at every angle with my improved nose. My only regret is not doing this sooner! Thank you, Dr Bader and staff for a wonderful surgery experience start to finish!
