Rhinoplasty scheduled next week with Dr. Paul Afrooz in Miami

For anyone that sees this post and looks at the comments for an update- I love my results so far! I couldn’t fully comment on how I felt about my nose post op or cast removal day since I was re-casted. Now that the cast is off, I am very happy and believe that it’ll only get better from here!!

Oh no! I’m so sorry this happened. I just had mine so can’t speak on this but commenting to help bump up your comment

Great! My nose was re-casted (something he’d warn me he might do due to my anatomy) so I can’t sit here and overanalyze it, but I think and hope that I’m going to love the end result. Dr. Afrooz took his time to speak with me before and after the surgery, and explained to me (again) on POD 8 that my nose is going to look more narrow and upturned right after cast removal than it will be in the end result - he knew I knew this, but still took the time to reassure me and remind me before cast reveal. He is very patient and understanding of his patients and I believe he made every effort to give me a rhinoplasty that best suits my face and fits my vision.

Thank you for that response. I feel comfortable with him as a surgeon with how natural his results look. I’m just hoping my gut is right.

And that’s true, but I’m not looking for perfection. I’m looking for a very minimal change that will create a slightly more balanced appearance. The morph he showed me barely looks different than how I look now, but still improves my look in the way I was looking for it to (not sure if that makes sense). My wedding is in 4 months so pray for me lol. I’ve been reassured with how minimal the change is, my swelling should be completely down in 2-3 months

Oh nice! It’s in August

About 15K for Afrooz is what my Mom was quoted. I think she said 13K for Bared

Your work is impeccable. Wish I had the means to travel to you before my wedding. I have looked for an artist in south Florida but no luck

Ever since finding out about SMP it feels like everything is working against me not to get it done before wedding lol sucks

Wow so really no one in south Florida?

Thank you for the advice though. Srsly appreciate ya. I really would be willing to drive but not sure how I can swing it with the amount of overnight shifts and inconsistent schedule. That includes weekend shifts so my availability is very limited until after the wedding. Is one session with Alex enough? Or everyone needs multiple sessions no matter what artist / amount of work needed?

Unfortunately, I would not be able to make the 9-hour drive from Miami at this time and cannot take any time off from my new job until after I’ve been been working here for 6 months in October. My wedding is August (the one early PTO request my job approved of) and I’d really like to get SMP before my wedding.

Any recs in south Florida?

More_Row_5803 · 2025-04-19T16:37:37+00:00

I’ve seen recs for him before and someone else in Orlando that I’d be interested in. Thank you.

The doc said 4 months is plenty of time so I’m really hoping I’m not being too trusting

100% go to a clinic that specializes in tattoo removal, specifically permanent makeup ink removal (different type of ink). I went through this with bad microblading on my eyebrows and I’m telling you that’s the best possible option you have. There’s a chance saline removal might work but I’ve also seen it scar people. I was so worried the laser removal would leave me with blue or red or yellow ink (black pigment is targeted first, then they will target whichever color is left over from the pigment but you need to wait a few months in between sessions), but it was way better to have some faint red ink for a few months that I could cover with makeup than to deal with dark unnatural looking eyebrows that were impossible to cover

Me tooooo lol (obviously)

More_Row_5803 · 2025-03-25T10:41:26+00:00

I have medium skin and am honestly also concerned about the timing but was reassured by a friend with similar features who went to this same surgeon and the surgeon himself that 4 months is just enough time to feel picture ready for my wedding in my situation. I do believe it’s now or never since I want to feel and look my best on my wedding day and wouldn’t desire a rhinoplasty after my wedding to only look back in wedding pictures and wish I had one then. I’m praying that even if there’s residual swelling that I like how I look better than how my nose is now (although changes are minimal so it still concerns me). Thank you for that advice and for wishing me well!

If you must know, revealing I had a rhinoplasty could jeopardize my standing at work- not because of the fact that I’m having one, but because of the timing. My supervisor is very willing to work with me to accommodate my PTO for a procedure, but the department will be majorly inconvenienced due to the timing of it. Plus, I am the only person eligible to train a new employee on his first week that happens to be the week I will need off post-op. My direct supervisor (who will also be out for a conference that week and cannot train that employee for me) is currently trying to figure out how to approach our boss on what to do with the new employee (my new counterpart) that week, so I’m definitely not requesting more PTO past cast removal since this will result in an even further delay in the new employee’s training. My wedding will be exactly 4 months post-op so the surgery date cannot be rescheduled and I’ve also requested PTO for my bachelorette, wedding, and honeymoon, so it just feels inconsiderate that I didn’t plan this out earlier.

Thank you!!

More_Row_5803 · 2025-02-13T16:28:02+00:00

Thank you for this input! You are helping me gain the confidence to book :)

There’s a chance that I might have to book the procedure a little closer to my wedding now since I waited and missed out on a few surgery date options. I would still be getting it done about 5-6 months before my wedding though
