Hi! Just adding another photo at almost 4 months out! Can't believe summer is almost over. Spending the summer at the shore is a time when a lot of pics are being taken, and now I feel totally confident to smile big in all of them. Before, I didn't like how my nose spread when I smiled and was always hoping someone caught a good angle. Now I can smile big without a problem. Finding a great doctor like Dr. Pontell is key to a successful outcome! Love my new nose!

Hi! Your results look great! I’m currently researching rhinoplasty specialists in the Philadelphia area and have an appointment with Dr. Pontell. Did you consult other doctors before choosing him? Also, I have three small kids too. Were you nursing at the time?

Hello. I didn’t go to other consultations or research. I kind of stumbled upon him on the internet, and I feel like I am so lucky I did. He’s a wonderful doctor. I am so pleased with my results and I would do it again in a heart beat. I had stopped nursing about a week and a half before my surgery and I ended up getting mastitis during my recovery. Not Fun!!! I think you will be very happy with Dr. Pontell.

Mastitis is the worst! Did you have to wean before surgery or was it just your choice?

I weaned for myself. My daughter was 14 months and I just needed to for myself. That was the 7th!!! time I had gotten Mastitis with her and I was glad to be done. I do not think the anesthesia affects them, however the pain meds aren’t good. I was on Tylenol with Codeine after surgery. The pain wasn’t even that bad, it was just uncomfortable. So, if you wanted to take Extra Strength Tylenol, I’m sure that would be good enough depending upon the extent of your surgery.

You look amazing!!! Your nose is so refined and it fits you perfectly. Are you having any swelling still or any issues at all?

Thank you! I'm happy. My columella area is still swollen and I can notice especially in photos like this, but I'm very glad I went through with it.
