The Real Truth of Rhinoplasty: Experience with Dr. Losquadro
My experience with Dr. Losquadro was wonderful. At first, I was very nervous about the procedure and especially who would be doing it. However, Dr. Losquadro not only answered a ton of my questions, but he was candid and very nice as well. During my visits when he had to examine my nose he was gentle and never made me feel uncomfortable. He listened to what I wanted and gave his expert opinion as well.
Dr. Losquadro told me not to worry and that the procedure wasn't all that bad, in fact, it was much easier than I imagined. He told me exactly what I needed to do, which wasn't much, and even explained to me why he doesn't use packing in the nose post-surgery. This was a concern for me because I had friends who had rhinoplasty and had the packaging all week, and their noses looked great. But, to no surprise, Dr. Losquadro was right. The packing was not needed, and in fact, would have made me more uncomfortable.
WHAT IT WAS LIKE:
That week after I had my procedure I thought it would be the hardest week that year, but honestly, it was not. The pain medication took away all feeling, so I had zero pain. I only needed the pain meds for three days, maybe even two. Each day I only took half an Oxy, not even a full. Dr. Losquadro was right again when he said the bleeding would only last the first few days, not even, and for the majority of the week, I only had the cast on my nose. No packing, no underneath brace with cotton balls, and no pain. So, I slept with my head propped up and I slept better than I thought I would, which I think is because there was no packing. I didn't eat much just because eating is a bit more difficult since you can't really inhale through your nose at first, but I had lots of ice cream and smoothies. I watched Bridgerton, spoke to family and friends who visited me, baked, read, and overall, it was a great week. Towards the last two or three days of the week, my grandmother took me for walks around the block, which was great. I took a bath and left my hair in french braids all week, and I used dry shampoo.
But, to be completely honest, I was relaxed, pain-free, and had the hope of my new nose, and I rocked the cast!
Post-surgery, I even started working out again 1 week after my surgery.
Many people have this idea, including me at first, that nose jobs are scary, dangerous, and painful. Not only was the surgery not painful, but sometimes in life, you have to weigh the risks versus the reward. Are the risks going to be worth the reward? Dr. Losquadro follows all the safety protocols and works with wonderful people, and knows exactly what he is doing. My only regret is not getting one sooner because of my fear. I wished I hadn’t listened to the stereotypes and gone to Dr. Losquadro at first. But then again, maybe it was just Dr. Losquadro who made the entire process exciting, fairly simple, and pain-free. And, I do not have a high pain tolerance. In fact, I had a much worse time getting my wisdom teeth out.
My nose still has a few months to heal, in fact, I was told it can take up to a year to fully see results, but almost 5 months post-surgery, I not only love my nose but so does everyone else. In fact, so many people told me that I look different, but they just couldn’t pinpoint why, and when I told them I had a nose job they said, “Oh wow. It looks so natural. I didn’t even realize, but now that you said something I can see the difference. You look great.” Every new person I meet has no idea because my nose looks so natural. Dr. Lasquadro made my nose fit my face while helping me shape it the way I wanted.
If you are reading this, let me be the one to convince you to go to Dr. Losquadro because you won’t regret it. I had many apprehensions at first about the surgery, but now I am grateful for the new life he has given me.
