3 Month Post Op
I have forgotten to update my review.,, but I had my final post op with Dr. Hobgood and got to take my "after" pics. My profile has changed dramatically and the internal structures of my nose are back to normal, no more poking "dislocated" septum.
Dr. Hobgood has been so great and compassionate about this tough situation. I feel lucky to have been able get my 1st rhinoplasty revised with such amazing results.
For anyone looking into a rhinoplasty, PLEASE, do your research. I know its tempting to go with a doctor who is "cheap" but at the end of the day cheap is usually not the best. I'll probably regret my initial choice of physician for the rest of my life and wish I had seen Dr. Hobgood the 1st time.

2 Weeks Post Op
I finally got all my tape and removed off. I am happy with my nose and I think it looks great for just 2 weeks post op. I still have a lot of swelling in my nose tip, however I understand as there was a lot of work done there. I am truly amazed that the doctor would get my septum reattached to the nasal spine like nothing ever happened. When I get back into my doctors I will get the pictures of my nose underneath where you can see the collapse of the nasal valve. It is truly such a big difference.
I am excited for the swelling to go down and see the progress in my nose.

4 Days Post Op
My recovery so far has been a breeze and extremely distinct from my previous rhinoplasty.
1) I have not been in pain, and only taken 2 pain pills at night because I was restless and thought it could help me sleep.
2) I have had no nausea other than right after surgery. I think this is due to the fact I have not taken the pain medication. I also have had no issues with going to the bathroom and no need for stool softeners.
3) I have taken arnica after surgery and my bruising is almost completely gone with some yellowness remaining.
4) When sleeping with my mouth open, my mouth gets dry, but I have not developed a sore throat like last time.
I believe that one of the major differences between my 1st and 2nd rhinoplasty experiences are the post op care instructions. For the first surgery, I had internal splints and packing which did not allow me to use saline sprays/nettie pot. I think this is what caused me extreme discomfort and stuffiness.
For my revision, with Dr Hobhood, he did not use packing. I have also been able to use my nettie pot. I feel like I can breathe slightly through my nose. This has made the recovery much more tolerable and I do not feel frustrated and overwhelmed by the congestion.
Overall, recovery has been much more smooth than I expected. Part of the reason why I waited so long for my revision is because I feared and dreaded the recovery. So far, everything has gone so well I feel silly for waiting so long.

Dr. Todd Hobgood is the absolute best. He is caring and compassionate. You could not ask for a better surgeon. He is extremely knowledgable and takes his time and explains everything in detail. He is honest and realistic.
