I LOVE MY NEW NOSE
Reviewer: Mallie
I'm 36 years old and have hated my nose since I was old enough to feel self-conscious about it. As a child my brothers teased me by calling me big bird. The kids in my class called me big nose all the time. Pretty much my whole life it has been an embarrassment. In my early teen years I spent many hours with my face in a pillow, crying myself to sleep because of my looks. My mother always assured me that I would "grow into" my nose. I mean no offense to my mother, but that didn't make me feel better. All it did was confirm that I did, indeed, have a big nose. As an adult in my early twenties, I learned makeup tricks to make my nose seem smaller, but it never did diminish my self consciousness. My self esteem has been pretty low most of my adult life because of the appearance of my nose. So, at 34, I decided I should finally do something about it. For many years I was worried about what people would think about having rhinoplasty. I worried that most people would think I was diminishing myself in some way by changing my appearance with plastic surgery. So, I sat down with my friends and family several times to discuss the pros and cons of rhinoplasty. At first, my family was hesitant to agree that it was a good idea. But after explaining to them over the course of two years that I was serious about it and that it would help me in many ways, they gave me their blessing.I began researching plastic surgeons and came across the name Dr. Calvert over and over. My friends, who also helped do research also got more information on this surgeon. All his past patients that we found were very pleased with the results of his work. His licensing is up to date and he had no mal-practice cases that we could find. I looked on his website at www.drcalvert.com and set up a consultation. My first impression of Dr. Calvert was very positive. He is a very kind and professional young man and an expert in his field. He assured me that I was the perfect candidate for rhinoplasty and that, because I had realistic expectations about surgery, I would most likely be pleased with the results. I went ahead and scheduled my surgery and had it done. The healing time was about 6 weeks. The pain was fairly strong, but faded quickly. When the swelling went down, I was amazed with how different and beautiful I look. I love the results and am so positive that I will not regret my decision that I am recommending him to my friends.
