After 3 surgeries... It’s the nose I’ve wanted all my life!

I had my first rhinoplasty done 12 years ago. Long story short, my nose looked beautiful but I botched it myself 3 weeks after I got it done.Two years later I had it done by the same surgeon and he made my nose look so bizarre. Out of panic, I had it done again 7 months after that by another surgeon. They made it super narrow, short and compromised my breathing. I felt that my nose was way too small for my face. As far as revisions go, these doctors did not know what they were doing. I decided to let my poor nose be for a while. Fast forward almost 10 years later and after many consultations, I felt that Dr. Lamperti was the person to make it right. From the get-go, I knew he was the one. He listened to my whole story, listened so patiently to what I wanted my nose to look like, answered every single one of my questions, and gave me a realistic idea of how he could help me. I flew from La to Seattle after our virtual consultation. Nothing but patience and listening from Dr. Lamperti - it was honestly so refreshing after multiple consults with LA and NY doctors who seemed full of themselves and who didn’t really let me do any of the talking. I had my surgery with doctor Lamperti on March 12, and it was the best decision EVER. He took rib cartilage which is said to be much stronger than ear or donor cartilage and used to give my nose more symmetry, projection, volume, and to prevent my Nose from collapsing when I inhale.The results are honestly better than I could’ve imagined. It’s only been a week since surgery, and swelling is sure to go down, but I already feel so much confident and happier with how my face looks... I’m even starting to shed tears of joy as I write this. I will continue to share updates on my healing process!
