Finalizing Rhinoplasty


After my appointment with Dr. Jayakumar I ringed Dr. Oommen to discuss about Dr. Jayakumar’s advice. He listened me patiently and said, I think it is better to select Dr. Jayakumar just because I don’t think Dr. Vijayakumar is interested to do rhinoplasty.  It’s not like he has some problem with it but just because he is not sure of the result which he could give. He is not a specialized facial surgeon. Dr. Jayakumar is more senior and expert in this field so always it is better to select him.  I felt sad. I knew without a doubt that Dr. Jayakumar is above and beyond the best for rhinoplasty but Specialists’ hospital is situated at cochin, Ernakulum north is 213 kms away from the place where I’m residing. So travelling is all these distance is bit difficult for me and finally I took the decision to call off this whole twisted toxic thing which was killing softly. Contrary to this, hating my nose doesn't consume me.  I've a happy life.  But although it is less of an issue now, it is still an issue.  I still feel like my nose walks into a room first, with the rest of me following. Every time i looked in the mirror, or my reflection in the car window, i saw that awful bump, and desperately wanted it gone. I had to be brave and go through with it. My closest friends and family are supportive, because they know me and how I feel.  Other people I'm not as close with just cannot empathize.

Again I ringed Dr. Oommen to inform him about decision to call off this surgery. He seems to be so supportive, suggested Dr. Jayasekhar (Once I enquired about him, he is my friend Dr. Ajith’s friend).  He added that he’ll discuss my issue with Dr. Jayasekhar. But I found Dr. Oommen is not so happy with his work. I think he cannot guarantee about the result which Dr. Jayasekhar can give.  After this call, when I discussed this matter with my family I saw they are also not interested to select someone who’s not preferred by my doctors and they wish me to sort this anyhow. So Dr. Jayakumar will be my surgeon.  A couple of other reasons are also there why I’ve decided to go with him.


   1. He’s best, I googled him

2. Dr. Jayakumar has done more than 2000 surgeries in his career. His work divided into reconstructive and cosmetic surgery.  Reconstructive surgery occurs when there are physical defects. Like, if a baby is born with a cleft lip. Or, because of an accident, the blood flow to a particular limb is blocked. Or when a thumb gets cut off in an accident. Dr. Jayakumar loves the challenge in reconstructive surgery.  But  Dr. Jayakumar also admits he enjoys doing cosmetic surgery.

3. Dr. Jayakumar has trained in the Chang Gung Memorial hospital at Taiwan, which is regarded as one of the best plastic surgery centres in the world.

4. Testimonials from past patients who have said how comfortable they felt with both Dr. Jayakumar and the staff.
