Dr. Jimmy's back out

Dr. Jimmy Thomas, my Plastic surgeon gone off to Qatar and when I tried to contact him, his assistant said he’ll be back by December so I decided to wait but again I informed by his assistant on this late December that Dr. Jimmy Thomas is planning to stay there for another 8 or 9 months and it would be better if I search for another specialist. So I’ll have to think about another plastic surgeon and my doctor’s suggestion is to consult Dr. Vijayakumar a plastic surgeon Fort Hospital Trivandrum.

Well, as per my doctors consent, my appointment at fort hospital was today at 10 am and I found Dr. Vijayakumar is not happy with my case. His opinion was my nose's skin is considerably thicker than normal ones so shaving off skin can cause bunny nose effect means button nose like clowns and reducing the size by one or two millimeters could satisfy through this but reducing 2 mm is not really pleasing.  Then the second way is the surgeon has to find one cartilage from ear and put in my nose which is called rhinoplasty and that is the way which Dr. Vijayakumar preferring but he is afraid that it could affect breathing as my nostrils are so small so he wish to get a second opinion from Dr. Jayakumar,  a senior plastic surgeon Specialist Hospital Ernakulum. I wonder Dr. Jimmy Thomas has never mentioned such kind of problems on my case and once he assured me that it’s a simple case and we could do inside his clinic itself no need of me to go to any hospital for this silly surgery.  Wish him to be back, but I know this wish won’t change into reality. And the truth is I gonna suffer again and again and finally another Dr. Sreejith could come on screen and everything gonna shatter like a sand castle like the last time happened.  But this time it’s not going to hurt me much since it is not a long 3 year agenda and this kinda experience is not something 'NEW' to me..

The Rhinoplasty Decision

Here i'm sharing my Rhinoplasty story. This is something I've wanted to do for more than 10 years. I've had this ugly bump on my nose since school. It has the characteristics of my father's family, and I swear it's gotten larger as I've grown older, and especially after my orthognathic surgery it really has gotten more pronounced. I've been considering doing this for about 8 months, and  for 6 months before surgery have been more serious about it, and researching every day. I decided it's something I need to fix. Every time i pass a mirror i look at my bumpy nose and image how much better it would look without the bump. I know it's very vain thing, but i know it will boost my self esteem and make me a little bit happier.

I’ve discussed this with my orthognathic surgeon Dr. Jeomy about picking a surgeon to sort this out and his suggestion was that you need to find a specialist in rhinoplasty for the best results. Look for a doctor that only does faces. Do not go to a general surgeon. This is really obvious when you look at each doctor before & after photos. I knew without a doubt that Dr. Jimmy Thomas will be suitable for this. just because I know him.  Not well, anymore, but he is the doctor whom which i met first for this orthognathic treatments and he only referred me to my present doctors Of course, that was 3 years ago but he do remember me and he was warm and relaxing when i ringed him just after this surgery. I really feel more comfortable in his hands just because of that small personal connection. After my consultation with Dr. Jimmy, I was convinced I wanted to go ahead. He told me that it’s a simple case and we could do inside his clinic itself through a local anesthesia and no need of me to go to any hospital for this silly surgery. Leading up to the surgery I was really excited and couldn't wait. But I wish to postpone this surgery for another six months since I’m just back from a major surgery (orthognathic) i was not mentally or physically ready for another one and the traces of the previous one are still pending on my face. Dr. Jimmy assured me that whenever I wish to do that I could come along.
