San Diego Rhinoplasty

It’s been over a year and my nostrils look uneven. One side of my nose tip feels stiff while the other feels squishy. It was uneven when healing, but I trusted the process. It remained crooked. /:

Front and Side. Honestly, I had a great experience. This was a closed rhinoplasty so I have no scars, bruising was minimal. Swelling was crazy in the first week. At first it went down gradually then drastically then gradually again. It’s a rollercoaster of an experience. I think more so because it is a procedure on something right in the middle of your face and you see it everyday in the mirror. My biggest fear was getting a botched nose job. I did a lot of research since I was 15, seven years later, here I am with my dream nose. I had consultations with other surgeons, but none made me feel comfortable enough to go through with it. The consultation with Dr. Hilinski is what sold me. He has a very calming aura. He seems sure of himself and gives you realistic predictions and expectations. The nurse was also really nice! During the process I had times where I felt scared that the result wouldn’t come out as good. Especially with a healing process being so all over the place. The worst part was not being able to breathe which made me uncomfortable when eating so I dropped a few pounds. New nose, new bod ! haha, but really. I definitely recommend going with him, he’s great!! :) I love my nose !!
