4-year Update
Hi Everyone!
It's been about 4 years +/- since Dr. Lamperti took care of me. Thought I'd give you some thoughts about everything then and since...
1. Absolutely NO REGRETS whatsoever!
2. Everything looks great and feels great (Nose + Chin).
3. Fillers faded away quicker than I wanted, but that's not a negative against Dr. Lamperti. My body metabolized the fillers and they were only temporary.
4. Would I do it again? Yes
5. Would I have done things differently? Yes, I would have not gotten the fillers, but that's only because they faded away so soon.
6. Pain: I remember feeling sore and uncomfortable, but not really "pain". It's hard to explain. Sleeping (with my mouth open) was challenging, as my mouth was dry a lot. Eating was a challenge because of the Chin Implant; soft foods only for about a week or so.
7. Prescription meds: I chose Fioricet, which was hard to get filled in Seattle. But eventually found a pharmacy willing to fill it. I only took them for the first day. After that it was Tylenol or Advil. And after a few days was off pain meds completely.
8. Numbness: So, this lasted a long time. Maybe a good 6-8 months before most of it came back. I'd say I am at 98%.
Biggest/Weirdest Change:
It took me a while to see my NEW self in my mind. My mental image of me was the old version of me. But somehow, eventually, my mental image shifted to the new me. When I look at older photos of me (before surgery) it's really hard to imagine. Even my friends/family say it's hard for them to remember my old self unless they see pictures. Is this a good or bad thing? Neither! It's just something to note.
While some/many people choose to get additional rhino surgeries, I HAVE NO INTENTION. I am completely, 100% very satisfied with what Dr. Lamperti did for me. I love my nose and chin, so...no need to get them re-done or enhanced or whatever.

Almost 7 Weeks Post-op (Plus Before & After)
Hi Everyone,
Take a look at me at just 6.5 weeks post-op!
Facts:
* Went to 4 consultations (before deciding on my surgeon)
* Dr. Lamperti performed everything
* Rhinoplasty, Chin implant, Fillers (Restylane for eyes and Radiesse for back jaw)
* Cost was just under $16,000 (for everything, including operating room and anesthesiologist
* About 4 hours of surgery
* Pain was never more than a 4 (scale 1-10)
* No complications
* Puffiness, yes. Bruising, no
* Slept first 24 hours--knocked out
* Day 2 was already out and about
* Day 3 I went to the movie theater
* Returned to the gym by day 12 (no cardio!)
Pros & Cons:
Pros
* New face
* Emotional bliss
Cons:
* Cost
* What-ifs
* Recovery (rhinoplasty can take up to a year!!!!)
How I ultimately decided:
Honestly, I just didn't have time for the what-ifs. I was confident in my surgeries, in my doctor and in the financial decision. There was no second-guessing. I wasn't nervous or scared about really anything. I made the decision and I owned it.
If you're not 100% CONFIDENT in anything, then you should really hold off. I made sure that I was confident in all of the details. I wanted to make sure that I came out of this experience without any regrets--regardless of what happened.
My recovery has been amazing! The numbness and tightness in my chin is completely gone. I have feeling and the tightness has subsided. The incision is tender, but not at all painful. I can shave just fine. My nose was completely numb for a while. the past couple weeks my nose has been itchy. But because there's no "feeling" it's a bit awkward and strange. I have noticed that the numbness is going away. It's an odd feeling that you quickly forget about.
I have noticed a lot of people (on RealSelf) getting consultations at the Seattle location (1101 Madison Street), as there are tons of doctors in this building. Let me say, while you're there, PLEASE CONSULT WITH DR. LAMPERTI!!!!
Feel free to ask questions or voice your concerns. I will be glad to share my experience or answer questions.
Wishing you all the best of luck in your cosmetic journey!

Provider Review
Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
1101 Madison Street, Seattle, Washington
Dr. Lamperti is very nice, professional and takes his time. He listens, takes photos, simulates before/after, and made me feel 10000% at ease. I wasn't nervous. Also, the anesthesiologist was great. I was treated to first class with pillows, warm leg braces, heated blankets. While I was laying there, waiting for everything to begin, the anesthesiologist asked if I wanted a relaxer before we began. I said, Sure, why not? And that was the last thing I remember. I opened my eyes and I was awake on the other side after surgery. It was a shock because I didn't expect that. The hard part was over. Now, it's a matter of healing and time. I learned that I must have wet myself during surgery because even in the fog of meds, I realized that my underwear was missing. But a nurse was good enough to put me into a mesh diaper of sorts.
