Make sure to keep in mind the aesthetic of the doctor, too. Saeed to any patient! I always say schedule a consult and go with your gut. He gave me such a perfect nose- one that I never thought was achievable given the state of my previous two surgeries. But to our surprise, on cast-off day, my nose was not too swollen at all.
