A Great Surgeon
Ever since my teen years, I'd been insecure about how my nose developed. It became bulbous, crooked, and humped, and I wished that I could just make it look how it did when I was younger. I didn't want to imitate someone else's nose, but just wanted to go back to how mine used to look. It took a long time to work up the nerve to consider surgery, but it was affecting my self-esteem too much.
I visited several surgeons in northern CA and never quite felt like they understood what I wanted to get done. My last appointment was with Dr. Mehta and I was worried I wasn't going to find someone - 1 minute into the consultation and it was clear he got it. He could immediately identify what I was mentioning as I talked and instantly referenced his past experience with correcting those issues and how he could use those same techniques in my case. It was like night and day compared to talking to the others. And on top of that, he was so friendly and considerate while still maintaining objectivity.
The surgery and recovery went exactly as I had been told and I felt like I was thoroughly prepared for it. He was always just an email or phone call away to instantly answer any questions I had during that period, but all the medications he had listed and provided took care of my needs.
He arranged for so many follow-ups after the surgery to make sure everything was healing properly. My nasal bones were stubborn and wanted to drift back out of place but he pushed them over when they'd move. And I had a bit of extra swelling in my tip after the year mark which he gave me injections for and it resolved it quickly. He also rebuilt my crooked septum, so on top of everything I can finally breathe better as well.
I included my before and after photos of my front and side views, but even those don't do it justice as it's hard to see the definition (my after is definitely slimmer and smaller than my before). What's important is I still look like myself, but with that previous version of my nose that I was hoping for. I smiled so much more back then, but I quit doing so when my nose started to drag down and out and off-center. Thanks to Dr. Mehta I'm remembering to smile more again.
