Dr. Struck for the Win!

I've had a bump on my nose since I was 10 and have wanted it gone for as long as I can remember! I went back and forth about surgery for years. I'd never gone under anesthesia and thought I might regret it. When I started seeing Dr. Struck for botox a couple of years ago, we slowly started having conversations about rhinoplasty, and once COVID hit I decided to pull the trigger on the procedure! SO glad I did! It's only been 5.5 weeks, and it's still shrinking every day, but I already love the result.
I would trust Dr. Struck with any procedure moving forward! He is a no nonsense doctor who knows what he's doing. I asked him a thousand questions and was probably his most annoying patient. He reassured me and we went through my google doc together at the pre-op. He didn't push me to do more than I needed, in fact, he recommended that we just shave the bump in a closed rhinoplasty, and didn't work on the tip at all. He said "if you were my daughter, that's what I would do." That's when I was sold and knew I was in good hands! He is such a kind man and really wants the best for his patients. He does amazing work at an incredibly fair price!
All the people working in the front office are sweet, but I loved working with Trish. The team prepped me well for surgery, and I was SUPER impressed with the attention I got from the anesthesiologist, the nurse at the surgery center, and Dr. Struck himself prior to and after the surgery. Communication was 10/10!
I can't say enough good things about my experience, but two things I had wish I'd known:
1) The swelling once the splint comes off is BAD. My nose looked like a potato for the first couple of weeks, and swelling is still present, beyond a month after. Don't panic! They say it takes 6 months - 1 year to see final results. I included lots of pics of swelling to prove it!
2) I got super backed up from anesthesia. Tried many OTC treatments but the only thing that actually worked was chugging a bottle of magnesium citrate (cherry flavor). I finally was able to "go" on day 5!
