Rhinoplasty

For many years I had struggled with the way I looked due to my side profile. I always felt I had a great smile, however this always accentuated the hooked appearance of my nose. Initially I sought help for the functional issues I had with my nose. But I was curious and in a position to also change the physical appearance of my nose. My two major concerns were the hooked appearance of my side profile and from the front view my nose was crooked. No winners there. My ENT specialist recommended Dr Choy. I had an initial consultation with Dr Choy and immediately, I felt comfortable. We discussed my concerns and what I would like to change; how Dr Choy could help with my concerns and achieve great results and overall help with questions and the clarification I needed to proceed. Dr Choy also showed me many before and after photos of people who had similar concerns and I was amazed at the results. He provided me with written information about the procedure so I was well aware of the procedure and possible surgery implications. This helped me to make the educated decision I was completely comfortable with. I felt confident and assured with Dr Choy’s professional abilities and personable nature. Dr Choy has an amazing team supporting him who in turn supported me throughout my entire journey. I felt every team member I dealt with was genuinely interested in my wellbeing and happy to assist me with all aspects throughout my journey. It has been over 12 months from my initial consultation to my final aftercare appointment. Deciding to have plastic surgery is such a personal decision. A decision I do not feel embarrassed about. I feel extremely happy with the results and truly believe it has been life changing for me. It occurred to me after the operation how many times a day I would think about my nose especially my side profile. For many weeks after the surgery, I realised I was still having the same old thoughts pass through my mind about my old nose. I had to remind myself that I had a brand new nose I was comfortable and happy with. A sigh of relief and a smile quickly followed and I can now remind myself I have a fabulous new nose. Those old thoughts have disappeared and have been replaced with new ones. Dr Choy, thank you so much for helping me change my life.
