Nose Job Patient Diary: Jessie
April 21st, 2015
For the next few weeks we will be following the story of Jessie, our patient that went through the process of considering and ultimately deciding to have a rhinoplasty or “nose job.” She has graciously agreed to record her thoughts about her experience. Follow her story and watch her surgery videos as this series unfolds. Meet Jessie:
Hi, my name is Jessie and I have chosen to contribute to Dr. Bashioum’s Blog about my rhinoplasty surgery, because I want others to understand how the process works from a real person, not from a reality television show. I have researched the procedure online and I have been finding a lot of conflicting information, which has left me confused and a little nervous about undergoing the procedure. My hope in doing this blog is to allow potential patients to have a real patient perspective about the procedure, the recovery, and the end result and hopefully the great changes this brings to my life.
I have found that by revealing my up and coming surgery to others, it has caused various reactions. People tell me I am going to look like I got into fight, or say the surgeon is going to take a hammer to my nose and beat on me. Yikes! Others say this surgery is going to change my looks and no one is going to recognize me. Some people tell me to go ahead with the surgery, while others say it is a waste of money and vain of me to go through with the procedure. Thank goodness that in the end, I am only doing this surgery for me.
Please check back to follow my story.
Facelift Diary: Coming Soon
March 23rd, 2015
I was pressed into service this weekend to help Lindsay install her editing software onto her new computer. After months of attempting to move it from one computer to another, we needed to do an entire reinstall. As you can see from the photo, she’s back in business and working on her personal story of documenting her facelift recovery in a video diary. As a filmmaker and editor of our blog, she felt that it would be helpful to anyone contemplating having facial rejuvenation surgery. I heard her laughing just before taking this photo, so I’m guessing she’s getting a kick out of herself listening to the audio. We did get quite a few laughs during the process of the filming. No telling when it will be done, but we will post it here first!
