Lisa’s Blog: Intro
February 25th, 2010
Hi, I’m Lisa and I have been considering Rhinoplasty (nose job) for the past 10 years and have finally decided – it’s time to do it!
It was an easy decision to choose Dr. Bashioum as my plastic surgeon because I am a previous patient. I had breast augmentation 14 years ago and have been extremely pleased with those results.
My experience with both his medical and office staff were all very positive. During that time, I always felt that I was taken care of through each stage of the surgical process. I have no doubt that this particular surgery will be any different.
Please check back to follow my story and see film clips of my surgery.
Jessie’s Blog: Splint Removal
January 29th, 2010
Well today the bandage came off and I am so happy. I’m not sure if you could tell, but I did get a little nervous while the splint and bandage were getting removed, although it didn’t really hurt. I was just very concerned about my nose maybe being so fragile, as it had been protected under the splint for a week. The actual removal of the bandage was a very special moment for me.
Once the bandage was removed, I was overjoyed with the results of my new nose. My nose looks great, it is defined and natural. I was so excited to see the new nose that I actually cried in the excitement, which was omitted from the clip. Dr. Bashioum and the filmmaker were so excited to see my satisfaction; you can tell they really care.
Once I returned home from the removal of my bandage, I immediately took a shower and gently washed my face, as I was instructed. Showering was very easy, but I did use a washcloth over my nose, as I water pressure was a little bit stronger than I felt comfortable on my new nose. I also used face wash and cotton ball to gently remove the surgical marker and tape residue.
I have even visited with a few friends this evening and their feedback is phenomenal. Everyone thinks my nose looks great and they are overjoyed to see the happiness it has brought to me.
