Dr. Velargo Fixed my Nose and Changed my Life!
Dr. Velargo is not only the best cosmetic surgeon I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, he is a true artist, in every sense of the word!
I had always been very insecure about my tall, hooked, French nose for as long as I can remember, and it served as the source for endless ridicule and anxiety, growing up. After years of deliberation and months of saving, I decided to finally undergo rhinoplasty in 2018. I found Dr. Velargo based on his excellent ratings on Google and decided to visit him for a consultation. During the consultation he explained the entire procedure in detail and placed a lot of emphasis on improving the function of my nose, in addition to changing the appearance for aesthetic reasons. I wasn't even aware that my breathing was impaired until he demonstrated how much airflow I SHOULD be getting. This is when I knew that Dr. Velargo was 100% the right surgeon for me.
I had my rhinoplasty and septoplasty procedure a few months later; recovery was incredibly smooth but Dr. Velargo offered his continued support throughout the entire process. Only 1 week after my surgery, he removed my cast and I was completely blown away by the results! I never even imagined that I could actually look like this! My nose was cute and feminine, but even more importantly it looked completely natural, like it was always meant to look that way!
One year post-op, Dr. Velargo noticed that I still was not breathing 100% and was determined to improve my airway function even further. I underwent another surgery for airway revision (and added refinement of the tip of my nose) and the improvement was immediate. As soon as I woke up from surgery, I noticed that I could breathe better than ever before!! I am now 3 months post-op and the results are getting better and better every day. I have completely stopped use of all sinus medicines and nasal sprays and my physical performance has improved dramatically just from the change in controlled breathing!
Aside from his surgical skills, Dr. Velargo has the best bedside manner of any doctor I've met. His calm nature and wealth of knowledge are enough to keep any concerns at bay, and his receptiveness to random phone call/texts is always very reassuring! There's no doubt that he truly cares about his patients and has their best interest in mind.
These procedures have been truly life changing and I can't thank Dr. Velargo enough!!
