Rhinoplasty

Lydia P. / Palm Springs, CA

“It was breath taking and I just wanted to cry tears of joy, my nose was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.”

My journey started out when I was in high school, I was at the age when you start to notice things about yourself that you are not comfortable with, in my case it was my chin. I didn’t really have a chin and I had a lot of fat below my chin in the neck area. I started to notice this in photos and any kind of side profile view; I absolutely hated my chin and was embarrassed as well. My second insecurity began around the same time, my nose, it was a little big and the tip of my nose dropped lower than it should. Over the next ten years I dealt with my insecurities and wore make up to cover or give the illusion that I had a chin and as for my nose, that was a little hard to hide, because you really can’t hide it but you could wear things to bring the attention elsewhere. To make things worse, when I was twenty-two I had an accident where I had trauma to my face, which resulted in severe damage to my nose.Over the next year I did some research on getting my “situation” fixed. A girlfriend of mine had breast augmentation with Dr. Hovsepian and only had great things to say about him as a person and most of all as a surgeon. Her story was almost too good to be true, so I had to see for myself and I set up a consultation with Dr. Hovsepian. I was very nervous and scared, I was going to this doctor that I have never met and I had to express and tell him all my insecurities. From the moment I stepped into his office I was greeted with kindness and warmth from the staff. When I met Dr. Hovsepian, he made me feel comfortable and I didn’t feel like I was being judged. I felt like he truly cared for my concerns and me. I expressed to him my insecurities and he then went in detail about what he could do to fix my “situation.” We then took some pictures and started to make some adjustments on paper. Just seeing that little bit of difference on paper I got very excited, he gave me a copy to take home so that I could draw on them and make the adjustments I wanted.With my next appointment I brought the pictures of myself with the adjustments on them as well as photos of noses that I got out of a magazine or printed off the computer. Dr. Hovsepian gave me his advice as a plastic surgeon what would look best and what was unrealistic. I felt comfortable with what we had discussed about my nose, chin, and neck fat. I was confident he could give me an amazing result.On the day of surgery I was once again nervous, but very confident in Dr. Hovsepian and trusted his judgment and skill to the fullest. The moment I saw him, he made all my butterflies disappear and was very comforting. As I came out of surgery he was there to tell me everything went very well and I’m going to love the results.

The day I went to see Dr. Hovsepian to get the cast taken off my nose was the best of all. It was breath taking and I just wanted to cry tears of joy; my nose was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Moving on to taking the bandage off my chin and neck I could see a huge difference and how amazing the results were already.

It has now been over a year since my surgery and the results still amaze me. I would not change
anything. I have Dr. Hovsepian to thank for his amazing talent and for him being so caring; I now have my “situation” fixed. If I could give any advice, it would be go let your guard down and make a consultation appointment because you have nothing to lose except your insecurities.
