Nose is symmetrical, bump gone, nostrils less wide & the tip forms a cute curve

Wow
I got rhinoplasty to fix my deviated septum, a bump on my nose, and a droopy tip.
I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Fuentes and the staff at Vida Wellness. I will say getting in to see the doctor did take a while but I emailed and called to get my appointment. My initial consultation was back in October 2021 with a surgery date of February 2022.
My consultation went great and I felt comfortable with Dr. Fuentes. Keep in mind he’s a very quiet doctor but ASK QUESTIONS and he will answer truthfully and respectfully.
Due to family obligations I had to postpone my surgery to June 17, 2022 (their next earliest availability).
The scheduler was very understanding with my change (I did change it about a month before my initial surgery date).
Closer to my surgery date I became in contact with their Patient Care Coordinator named Andrea who was lovely from the start, she helped scheduled the pre-op appointments and instructions.
On the pre-op date I met with Andrea who was just as sweet in person as she was through email. Very helpful. Got my labs done that day and met with Dr. Fuentes for a final consultation before my surgery to answer any final questions about the procedure.
I had one major thing I needed to address with him. My original surgery was for both a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation.
Unfortunately, two weeks previously I had lab work done with my GP and I had been diagnosed with Lupus. Dr. Fuentes was very open and truthful about the reasons why I should not have my breast augmentation done and that portion of the surgery was cancelled without any issues with their financial and scheduling department.
The day of surgery went well. The staff was very friendly, explained the process very well to me whenever I had questions. Right before the surgery I met with the anesthesiologist (I forgot her name!) and she was very knowledgeable so I trusted her.
I was very nervous about going under but everything went smoothly.
Healing process the first week was easier than I thought it would be. I did not feel any pain on my nose, just an intense pressure. I did not bruise at all, just some mild discoloration and swelling around my face but that was it (I was prepared for the black eye look because I usually bruise incredibly easy).
Not being able to breathe through my nose the first week was hard, my mouth was very dry and my nose was incredibly drippy the entire week (not blood, blood dripping stopped at the second day).
Pain scale was genuinely about a 1-2, however sneezing HURT even though I tried to propel my sneeze through my mouth and not my nose. I only took my pain medication once but that was for body pains and aches and not for the nose area.
Overall I am very very happy with my experience with Dr. Fuentes, the staff, the surgery itself, and the healing process.
Plus I got a glimpse of my nose today at the cast change and I LOVE IT. Had to get it taped up again due to swelling but he genuinely understood what I wanted for my nose and delivered. It’s still very swollen and I feel like Miss Piggy because of it (lol) but the shape he gave me is exactly what I hoped I would have. My nose is symmetrical, my bump is gone, my nostrils are less wide, the tip has been raised to form cute curve. Can’t wait to see the swelling come down!
Throughout the entire process keep in mind to ASK QUESTIONS YOURSELF, they will gladly answer ANY questions but you have to ASK. They are very helpful in offering explanations but they can be brief about their explanation, if you want more in depth answers, ASK!
