It's my first post so please forgive me in advance as I am new to this.

I have seen 4 PS now for rhynoplasty in the LA area. First time was when I had my BA / reconstruct done with dr.hodnet. He made it sound like a simple task, but didn't want me u see too long so insisted I return for a second sx. Years later and another child, my older son accidentally head butted me and broke my nose (2nd good break across the bridge)
It was "set" but I waited a year to see another PS in encino.
Apparently dr. J as they call him thought I had very high expectations and wouldn't be happy with my result. I left devastated.

After reading many reviews I called dr. pickart in Ventura CA. He mirrored dr.J's comments about the margins of give on a nose job would leave a perfectionist unhappy. But he did recommend a filler to treat the I sent the light casts shadows on and to reduce the appearance of the dorsal hump. He explained some fillers have desolver that can be used to reverse it if I was unhappy.
His bedside manor was very kind.. And like every other PS I have met said I would need a TT to get rid of the tiny pouch I have.... Not ready for that commitment yet!
I opted for Botox that day ( dr.J did my first treatment for signs of forehead wrinkles and bruised me) dr .pickart was gentle and it was painless.. I am very pleased with the result two weeks later so I called and scheduled my appoint meant for next Friday!! A filler day he called it! As I may allow any additional left over filler be used to decrease the dark gallows of my under eyes!
