Incredible from Start to Finish to Beyond
The decision to pursue any plastic surgery can be a difficult one, and that apprehension can come back with a vengeance when deciding to get a revision rhinoplasty. After all, going through it one time is difficult enough without the additional disappointment, regret, and anguish that surrounds not getting a result you wanted. In my case, I felt as though my original surgeon had made my nose look good aesthetically, but did not address the underlying concern of it not appearing straight. When I brought these concerns up with him, he dismissed them altogether before telling me to push my nose repeatedly and it would eventually move.
Well, I tried that for 10 years, but no amount of pushing or reassurance or particularly photogenic angles would give me a nose that felt like it was MINE, that didn’t lend itself to years of insecurities and offhanded comments. It finally got to the point where I could confidently say I made peace with myself, and part of that was making peace with seeing if I could ever improve the symmetry of my nose. Alls this to say, the decision to get a revision rhinoplasty was not one I made lightly, and if you are here, chances are it isn’t one you’re making lightly either.
I was especially nervous because of what I wanted to achieve with a revision. I wanted a nose that appeared straighter. Scouring the internet, I poured over before-and-after photos from countless surgeons, with some achieving outcomes I’d be very happy with and many not. I came across Dr. Tannan because of her glowing reviews and decided to take the chance on a consult just to see if what I wanted was 1.) physically possible and 2.) possible without spending $20k and flying to another state. When I talked to Dr. Tannan, she was very blunt about what she would and would not do based on what she felt would lead to optimal outcomes, which I deeply respected. Although many people say, “surgeons just want to cut,” she considered my history (with both a broken nose and a previous rhinoplasty) and my anatomy before determining that she would be able to implant a small piece of cartilage to support the structure of the nose and lend itself to a straighter appearance.
I will admit, I was skeptical; after all, the initial rhinoplasty seemed very involved, and this seemed extremely minimal in comparison. However, Dr. Tannan did not show me any photos of me edited to show my before and after with the surgery, she didn’t show me what might happen. Instead, she just showed me real life examples of patients who pursued this method and allowed me to determine if I was happy with them. I thought they looked amazing, so I ended up booking a surgery. Although I was initially planning on doing it further out, they had a cancellation and were able to fit me in fairly quickly (within 2 months, if memory serves).
Day of, the entire team was AMAZING. This makes sense if you meet Dr. Tannan herself, as she is a rare breed in medicine that makes you feel important, heard, understood, and validated when she is interacting with you. However, she has curated an extremely knowledgeable and compassionate all-women team at her practice. From the circulating nurse who helped ease my nerves with kindness and humor to the anesthetist that expertly ran me through everything and patiently answered all my questions to Dr. Tannan herself who is, again, extremely personable, I felt very safe and comfortable throughout the entire process. My support person was also able to be comfortable while waiting for me, as the practice has a very nice waiting room equipped with a TV, couches, snacks, and beverages.
After surgery, I naturally felt some discomfort, but since this was a closed rhinoplasty, it was NOTHING compared to what I had experienced with an open rhinoplasty. I had zero bruising and little swelling, minimal bleeding, no external cuts or scarring, and no stiffness in the tip of my nose so I could talk, smile, and eat normally. I was given one of the nurse’s phone numbers who was always helpful when answering questions. In my case, they had to make incisions on both sides of my nose instead of just one, and it was still miles and miles better than an open rhinoplasty. When I went in to get my cast taken off a week later, I only had some remaining swelling and tenderness to pressure and that also subsided quickly. Your mileage may vary, but for me, it was genuinely a cakewalk as far as surgeries go (I would do it 10 times over before I ever do wisdom teeth again, for example).
I am now 6 months post-op and I cannot believe how happy I am with my appearance still. Dr. Tannan was extremely realistic with me on what I could expect, but she has such a profound understanding of facial aesthetics that she knocked it out of the park and gave me a nose that fits me perfectly. For the first month or so, I would look compulsively in the mirror worried I’d somehow mess up my nose and ruin how good it looks, but so far, I haven’t managed to do that and in learning to trust Dr. Tannan’s work I have been freed. It sounds a bit dramatic to those on the outside, but it genuinely changed how I engage with the world for the better. I finally feel at peace with something that made me insecure for over half of my life, and I am so grateful. When it comes to any plastic surgery, I cannot recommend Dr. Tannan and her team enough. I left this experience feeling seen, heard, and extremely happy.
