You always hear stories about
surgeries especially cosmetic surgeries like
gone wrong.
I'm excited but I'm also starting to get nervous.
I would like my face to be more
aesthetically pleasing I guess.
That's the end result I would like
I don't think I'm not going to like the way I look
but what if I don't?
I think that's the most nerve wracking part of it
that there's no going back.
My name is Jasmine and I'm getting
a rhinoplasty in a few days.
I am 100% indian.
Both my parents are from India, they were
they were born and raised there.
My dad and his grandfather and his youngest
brother came about here twenty
seven years ago..
and they had 11 dollars in their pocket.
I mean I feel like my sister and I even my
cousins were just like a product of just
pure hard work.
So I grew up in upstate New York
I have three little sisters.
I'm also the oldest of 8 kids
including my cousins
I distinctly remember one summer
My sister and one of my best friends, we were sitting on
our trampoline in our backyard
and we just started making fun of each other
and my sister said I had a carrot nose.
She was like, "You have this little bump." And then,
every since I've just always been like,
"Oh my god, she's right."
I am paying for this myself.
I've saved up for this for a very long time.
and I started just
doing some research one day
and I'm just like, "I'm gonna go see-
see some doctors and see what they say."
And then I met Dr. Cangello and
he was just like so so nice
and so willing to work with me
so I was like you know what let's
just do this.
I'm Dr. David Cangello.
I'm a plastic surgeon here in New York City
and I specialize in rhinoplasty
and facial cosmetic surgery.
Jasmine is an excellent candidate for this procedure
for a couple of reasons.
She's a healthy young woman
who is very fit and very active.
Number two I think she has
very reasonable
realistic expectations
for her procedure.
When I decided
to work with Dr. Cangello, I did a
ton of research.
I follow him on instagram.
He really, I think takes into consideration
your whole face like
what is going to look natural but
what is also going to be like aesthetically pleasing
for I don't know someone with a small face like me.
He looks at the ethnic background as well.
Every one in my family I think is so proportionate
to their face
so I would kind of like to join the club.
Nervous?
I'm a little nervous.
I was a lot more nervous this morning when I woke up
but I'm not that nervous now
and I'm ready for my new face.
Bye nose!
Alright, ready?
So what we are going to do today
obviously is we're going to take
take down the bump and make it nice and straight.
Jasmine came to me
trying to make her nose look a little bit more
feminine yet without
changing the overall features of her face.
Now that it's actually happening I'm just like-
I feel nervous.
I don't know what I'm going to look like.
I don't think I'm not going to like the way I look
but what if I don't?
There's no going back.
Good, so we'll get things moving and I'll see you downstairs.
Sounds like a plan.
Alright.
So what I plan to do for Jasmine and we
discussed this is consultation is that
first of all what we are going to do whats called
and open rhinoplasty so
there are two ways to perform the procedure
one is through a closed approach and one is through
an open approach
The difference between the two is that
with the closed approach
all of the incisions are inside the nose
and with the open approach I use the
same incisions but I also put
one little incision here
along the skin bridge
that separated the two nostrils and
the reason I do that is because it
allows me to
better manipulate the structure of the nose and
ultimately end up with a better result.
For her specifically what we have planned
we are going to reduce the
hump on her nose
we are also going to rotate the
tip upward slightly
because her downward pointing tip
is not a very feminine feature to her nose.
Lastly, what we are going to do is we are going to correct
the deviation in her septum which
causes one of her airways to be
slightly obstructed so this is going to help her breathe
better.
It's been exactly one week since my surgery
and I'm getting my splint taken off today and
I'm super excited to see my new nose
the pain
was only
pretty bad the second and third day
and my face was like
twice the size, it looked like I got stung by bees
everything just hurt on my face and
it was really back like you
couldn't even see my eyes
but then after that, the swelling went down and
now I don't even like feel pain.
I'm just really excited to get this taken off
and see my new face and also wash
this underneath
Hello!
How you doing?
Good, how are you?
Good.
When Jasmines operation is complete
and her nose is completely healed
what she can expect is
to have a straighter nose
One that doesn't have the large hump to it.
She can expect to have a more petite
tip that is turned up a little bit.
And over all the characteristics of her nose
will be more feminine
without losing her ethnic look.
O-M-G!
This is so crazy.
It's so cute!
That's crazy!
It's so cute!
It's a little nose.
