Three months after her sister’s successful procedure, 33 year old Eva had her surgery. It went smoothly and so did her recovery. She needed prescription pain relief for about two days, and she felt a little nauseous during that time, but that was about the only challenge. She rested for the first week then gradually started back to work. Eva believes she breezed through recovery in part because she works out and eats right.
When Eva’s bandages came off a week after her procedure, she had no bruising and very little swelling. Even after just one week’s recovery time, Eva saw a new profile in the mirror. “The bump was gone!” Her husband commented that even though the improvement was noticeable, Eva still looked like herself. “He told me what stands out now are your eyes and your smile.” Eva developed a high level of trust in her surgeon during her Los Angeles rhinoplasty experience. She describes him as “a great doctor,” she said. “He gave me good advice.” Eva had originally wanted not just to smooth the hump on her nose, but to have it curve inward a bit as well. Her surgeon cautioned her to be conservative with the changes. “He said, ‘We need to be very careful; I want you to still look like you,'” she remembered. But the surgeon did recommend one additional move-to shorten the tip of Eva’s nose just a fraction.
“My nose did droop down,” Eva said. “He raised it up a tiny bit. His recommendations were right.” Today, Eva says everyone thinks her nose looks not just beautiful, but very natural too. “People say my new nose looks more natural on me than the nose I had before. Take a look at my pictures; you’ll say so too.” Eva was so pleased with the outcome of her surgery that she chose to have breast augmentation with the same surgeon before she married her wonderful husband. She’s happy to share her gummy bear story with others as well. If you live near Los Angeles or Beverly Hills and rhinoplasty is of interest to you, why not come meet with one of our surgeons?
