Finally, a Nose That Fits My Face at 35
While researching top rhinoplasty surgeons in San Diego, I came across Dr. Reagan and decided to schedule a consult. Before that, I met with another surgeon who focused almost entirely on rhinoplasty. He recommended rib cartilage due to the complexity of my case and used imaging software to show a projected outcome. However, it felt a little overdone, and not quite what I was going for.
Dr. Reagan had fewer reviews by comparison, and since his practice isn’t limited to facial procedures, I was a little hesitant at first. But during the consultation, he was upfront about the difficulty of my case and confident he could handle it using the cartilage I already had. His vision lined up more closely with mine, which ended up being a big factor in my decision. He also mentioned that while it’s rare, he’d be willing to do a second surgery if I wasn’t satisfied, minus the cost of anesthesia. That gave me extra peace of mind.
My goals were to remove the dorsal hump, reduce the bulbous tip, and make the overall size more proportional and feminine. I also had a deviated septum and some mild breathing issues. Dr. Reagan took time to answer all my questions, and his staff was friendly and helpful throughout the process.
The surgery took just under three hours and went smoothly—-no rib graft needed! Dr. Reagan personally called the day after surgery—outside business hours—to check on me. When my husband reached out with a question about swelling, he responded quickly. I really appreciated this kind of follow-up and communication!
Overall, my recovery has followed the typical course for rhinoplasty. The first few days were definitely the hardest. But by day 8, when the splint and stitches were removed, I could already see the hump was gone and my profile looked noticeably better. At day 18, there’s still some swelling—especially in the tip and frontal view—but that’s expected at this stage. Full healing takes around nine months, so it’s only going to keep improving. The photos I’m sharing are unedited, so you can see how things currently look. Even now, it’s clearly a big improvement from where I started.
I hesitated for decades to spend this kind of money on something cosmetic just for myself, but I’m so glad I went through with it. I already feel much more confident in my own skin—zero regrets trusting Dr. Reagan with my face!
