Life Changing!!

I am a little over two weeks post-op from my primary rhinoplasty with Dr. Reish, and truly cannot say enough good things about my experience! I was insecure about my nose my whole life and remember first researching a rhinoplasty when I was around 15. Seven years later, after lots of back-and-forth due to nerves, I finally went for it and am so glad I did! Dr. Reish's extensive gallery of incredible long term results & wonderful reviews of his bedside manner made me decide to go with him. I was so nervous the week leading up to my surgery, particularly the day before, but to my suprise once I got to the office I felt so much calmer. Everyone I interacted with, from front desk staff to nurses to the anesthesiologist, was so kind and reassuring. There was nothing scary about the experience, even laying down in the operating room his anesthesiologist and nurses were joking and chatting with me, which made me feel so much better! Dr. Reish spoke to me before my procedure and gave me a thorough rundown of what to expect, including making sure I understood that my thick skin would lead to more swelling and that it might take longer for me to see those final results than patients with thinner skin. He gave me a realistic idea of what healing would look like while reassuring me that the final result would be beautiful.

I'm sure recovery is different for everyone, but I had a great experience and was truly surprised by the lack of pain. Sure, its uncomfortable, but nothing unmanageable. I flew in to see Dr. Reish from out of state, and by the third day after surgery was walking around to sight-see and shop in NYC! At my cast removal, I was crazyyyy swollen, but Dr. Reish & his wonderful nurse assured me this was very normal, especially considering my thick skin. I'm thrilled to report that just over two weeks later, I already love my new nose and know it's only going to get better! My side profile swelling has gone down so much and already given me a sense of confidence I never had before. I tried to keep my expectations very realistic beforehand and remind myself I probably wouldn't love my nose for months, so it's been incredible to feel this good about it so early on!

If you're considering rhinoplasty with Dr. Reish, I say go for it!! I'm so glad I did. He gives you his number to text him anytime during recovery with questions/concerns, which I really think is going above and beyond. Just knowing I could reach him easily if needed set me at ease, especially in the first week. Overall a wonderful experience and I can't wait to see how my nose improves as time goes on!
