So in Love with my New Nose!
I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Saxon two months ago and I am beyond pleased with the results! I previously had a lip lift done by her which I wrote a review on as well. I chose Dr. Saxon to do my rhinoplasty because she did a wonderful job on my lip lift, and she has an extensive background in rhinoplasty as well as head and neck surgery. I wanted to make sure I chose someone who would make sure my nose was aesthetically pleasing as well as highly functional.
My main concerns about my nose were a dorsal hump, a wide bridge, and an over projected tip. I did not have a huge or very imposing nose, however, it was not a feature of any note on my face. I also wanted my eyes to be more noticeable, and overall to let my other facial features take center stage. I wanted a more feminine nose in general. Because my nose was not quite large, I knew it would take an expert hand to find the balance between refining my nose and botching it. I felt very safe in Dr. Saxon's hands, (literally)! She discussed my concerns thoroughly and offered a few extremely helpful recommendations of ways to make my nose even better that I had not even considered. For example, she recommended adding support to the columella and the tip with a cartilage graft to prevent my nose tip from moving when I talked or smiled. That recommendation turned out to be one of my favorite features on my new nose!
On the morning of surgery, I was quite nervous regarding the anesthesia because I had never been put under it before. Dr. Saxon came in and went over my goals for my nose one more time, and she took the reference nose photos that I brought with me into the surgery room as well. The anesthesiologist then came in with his assistant and explained everything to me and put me at ease. The nurses at the surgery center were quite lovely as well. I had an IV put in my arm, and the anesthesiologist told me he was going to give me a cocktail to help me relax before I was sedated. I was then rolled into the surgery room and the last thing I remember was getting onto the surgery table. I woke up in the recovery room and couldn't recall how long I was under or anything. It ended up being a two-hour surgery that went very smoothly. I had no pain when I woke up, I was just very thirsty because you cannot drink anything for twelve hours before surgery. My mom drove me home and I started my recovery.
I had no pain whatsoever during the recovery, I did not have to take any of the pain meds that were prescribed to me. It was mostly just uncomfortable due to having to breathe through your mouth instead of your nose, as well as sleeping at an angle to keep your head up. I would highly recommend a neck pillow if you have this surgery, it was a lifesaver! The sinus rinse that I was instructed to use during my recovery was also quite helpful in cleaning out my air passages.
A week later it was time to take the cast off. It was not painful at all, as I did not have stints in my nose and Dr. Saxon used dissolvable sutures in my columella incision. The first week my nose was perfect from the side but was quite swollen from the front. If you have a rhinoplasty do not freak out about the swelling! It is very easy to let your brain convince you that you are always going to be this swollen but it is simply not true. I had a hard time the first week because it was swollen and I was scared that I had made a big mistake because of how wide it looked from the front. I repeat if you get a rhinoplasty, DO NOT PANIC ABOUT THE SWELLING! It will go down.
After the first week, the nose was much better from the front. At week 3, I was really liking it, and at one month I was in love. Now two months later, it just keeps getting better and better every day. It fits my face PERFECTLY! I now get compliments all the time about how harmonious my features are, which was never something that happened to me before. My favorite part is that my friends that don't know I had something done all have been saying "you look better than you ever have" but they can't quite put their finger on why. That is the exact reaction that I wanted. I was scared that it would be noticeable that I had a nose job, however, it only enhanced my appearance without making me unrecognizable. I am so pleased. On top of everything else, I can now breathe better than I ever have before. I feel like I got sinus surgery and rhinoplasty for the price of one!
Overall I am beyond ecstatic with my new nose. Dr. Saxon and her staff are all lovely people who genuinely care about their clients. Dr. Saxon is also extremely humble despite having an unbelievable level of skill when it comes to facial plastic surgery. She never makes you feel stupid for asking questions or confirming things with her. I will never go to anyone else! If you want to look fake, Dr. Saxon is not for you. But if you want to enhance your beauty in a way that looks as though you were born with it, you cannot go wrong with Dr. Saxon. She does not do the same nose on every face, she does the best nose for YOUR face. 5 stars!!!
