Love my Nose!

WORTH IT$9,000
I was insecure about my nose since I was 11 and decided to get a rhinoplasty last year at age 20 when I finally had enough saved.
Pros: Dr. Portuese was funny and clearly trying to make me laugh before the procedure. He did good work on my nose and I'm really grateful for that.
Cons: he never followed up after my 1-week cast removal, didn't reach out or anything. He also was very blunt and matter-of-fact which made me nervous at times. The "before" pictures they took of me were AWFUL, I'm sure they'd never even use me as an example because they never took "after" pictures and in the before ones, my eyes were half closed. I also had to pay $400 for a covid test because I had to have the results sent to them within like 24-48 hours of the surgery (which was scheduled on a monday) - where on earth can you get a covid test that quick on a weekend with results coming in that soon without paying so much? :( FINALLY; it was I think 117 degrees that day in Seattle and I wasn't allowed to drink water or anything until after my surgery which was at 2pm so I was dehydrated all day and felt awful. But that's not his fault, just unlucky.
Overall, good experience, professional staff, and I like my nose.
