perfectangle Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks everyone for the encouraging words. My PS is Dr. Cochran, who only does rhinoplasties and revision rhinos. I decided to go with him for many reasons. Most importantly we agreed on a more conservative and closed approach as opposed to some PS consultations that wanted to do an open technique. Not saying anything negative about an open technique, it all depends on what your original nose and state (primary or revision) and what you are desiring to achieve. And with this being my 3rd surgery, I didn't want to look completely different and obvious to everyone. My main specifications were to get rid of the eyesore of a bump on my radix caused by the warped rib and my the bridge was very thin and "pinched" looking. So the fascia he added made a more graceful and natural curve that just blends in with my face. He also lowered one of my nostril rims by adding a small piece of ear cartilage (I had one sharper more arched nostril) It is still swollen right now, but it has already made a difference and will hopefully only continue to even out with the other nostril. He was extremely patient and he listened to everything that I wanted and very responsive with emails/calls, he seemed genuinely concerned about me. The most important thing that you guys can do before deciding on a PS is research and get many consultations. I did consults with 6 different PS across the US and also VIP in Korea. It's important to find an experienced surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasties. It just makes sense to go to someone who knows one thing 200%, than a surgeon who knows how to do many different types of general plastic surgeries. Make sure that the PS has the same vision and that you are on the same page. I couldn't have asked for more with Dr. C and I highly, highly recommend him. I'm really happy with my decision.
