Jessie’s Blog: Why I chose Dr. Bashioum
January 6th, 2010
To prepare myself for the rhinoplasty surgery, or nose job, I researched various websites such as plasticsurgery.org, awfulplasticsurgeons.com, celebrityplasticspics.com, youtube.com and Dr. Bashioum’s site, nipntuck.com. The websites provided me with a wealth of knowledge concerning the procedure and gave me insight on the pros and cons of the surgery, average recovery time, general price range and the results I might expect to see after the surgery. I also really enjoyed watching different video segments from YouTube and also looking at before and after pictures. I was most happy to find the doctor I choose wanted me to keep my nose; he told me we were working with my own nose, hence making the surgery look more natural.
I choose Dr. Bashioum for many reasons. Above all, I wanted a qualified surgeon; someone skilled and experienced, because I know this will make all the difference in the result of my surgical procedure. A friend that has a breast enlargement surgery recommended him, because she was very happy with the quality of the surgical staff and her own results. She in turn was also originally recommended to Dr. Bashioum’s office by a co-worker, who also had breast enlargement surgery. I feel comfort in knowing that Dr. Bashioum has 30 years of experience, is involved with numerous societies, memberships and medical affiliations. When choosing a doctor, I was not necessarily concerned with specific certifications, but personal references. Personal referrals led me to choose Dr. Bashioum for my surgery. I was also impressed with the organization and professional look of the facility. I also enjoyed meeting members of the staff and feel confident that they are aware of my individual needs and truly do care about me.

Jessie’s Blog: I hate my nose!
January 5th, 2010
Why am I going through with this rhinoplasty or nose job procedure? I found numerous sources that say the nose has the greatest impact of defining ones appearance. I hate looking at my side profile in pictures. I request to be placed in the center of pictures to avoid standing in profile; otherwise I can guarantee that I will hate the picture. I want to make the appearance and the proportion of my nose better, allowing me to be more confident with my appearance. I am doing it to achieve a nicer profile to boost my self-confidence by feeling better about my appearance. I am twenty-nine years old and have worked a second job for the past two years to save for things I want and this nose job is something I want, because I have really hated my side profile for years. My dad took a particularly unflattering photo, which still haunts me today, when I was 15 years old. The photo is taken from the side and my nose looks like a ski jump. I can still imagine that picture in my head and all I can think is yuck, disgusting, gross and how unattractive.
What happened to my nose? Everyone in my family has a great nose, so why is mine the way it is?
