With plastic surgery becoming so mainstream and readily accessible, it\u2019s important for you to do some serious consideration on your options before undergoing your operation. This is especially true in selecting your surgeon; choosing the wrong doctor can have some drastic consequences and may leave you worse than before.<\/p>\n
This is the story of Diana Esho, one of the latest patients featured on E! network\u2019s \u201cBotched\u201d. Diana was born with a defect in her nose, which gave her breathing problems. Diana spent a lot of time at the doctor growing up as a result. When one of her sisters had a rhinoplasty<\/a> performed on her nose and had a great result, Diana saw the same doctor to have the obstruction removed. The doctor told her that he would have to completely restructure her nose, but that he could fix her breathing problem.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, Diana\u2019s experience was not like her sister\u2019s. The recovery was difficult; she had major swelling and bruising around her eyes and was in a lot of pain for weeks. The surgery had left her nose with an upturned nasal tip, jagged scarring, and uneven nostrils. To top it all off, her breathing was still poor! Diana tried to go back to the doctor to have him fix his mistakes, but his practice had suddenly closed and she had no idea where he might be.<\/p>\n In the ten years following her surgery, Diana simply dealt with having an unattractive nose. She felt less than herself and was uncomfortable around her family and friends. Being around her sisters, who had had great rhinoplasty results, was especially hard. Diana\u2019s self-confidence also took a hard blow.<\/p>\n Dr. Paul Nassif<\/a> first appeared on Diana\u2019s radar about eight years before she appeared on \u201cBotched\u201d. She had seen him on \u201cDr. 90210\u201d and thought, \u201cOne day, Dr. Nassif will fix my nose.\u201d She spent the next several years conducting research on other doctors. She read patient reviews and even scheduled consultations with a few different surgeons, but in the back of her mind Diana\u2019s thoughts always went back to Dr. Nassif.<\/p>\n Diana\u2019s instincts proved correct. Dr. Nassif was able to remove the obstruction by straightening out her septum during the revision rhinoplasty surgery<\/a> and used some of Diana\u2019s ear cartilage to elongate her nasal bridge. This effectively lowered her nasal tip to make her nose look more natural. An alar base reduction was also performed during the surgery to even out her nostrils by making external incisions at the crease where her nose meets her face. That particular step required permission from Diana\u2019s sister, who came with Diana on the day of her surgery, because Diana was under anesthesia and couldn\u2019t be asked personally.<\/p>\n When she returned to Dr. Nassif\u2019s office the day after her surgery, Diana was in great spirits, despite the significant bruising under her eyes. \u201cI looked even worse the last time,\u201d she assured Dr. Nassif. Though the first few days were tough to get through, each day she got a little stronger and happier with how she looked. In an interview with RealSelf, Diana said she was \u201cover the moon ecstatic\u201d with her rhinoplasty results. She can breathe normally for the first time in her entire life and her nose looks exactly the way she always thought it should.<\/p>\n Diana is also very glad she trusted her gut in choosing Dr. Nassif. During her consultation, \u201cHe was the first doctor in 10 years that was completely on the same page as me. He didn\u2019t want to change my entire appearance; he wanted to help me look like the best version of myself. And that\u2019s exactly what I wanted\u201d. RealSelf asked Diana was Dr. Nassif is really like behind the cameras, and she said, \u201cWhat you see on TV is what you get with Dr. Nassif. He truly is one of the most genuine people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting… He\u2019s hilarious and watching him interact with Dr. Dubrow made it all so fun!\u201d In fact, Diana\u2019s experience was so positive that she recommends anyone considering plastic surgery to call Dr. Nassif\u2019s office to schedule a consultation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With plastic surgery becoming so mainstream and readily accessible, it\u2019s important for you to do some serious consideration on your options before undergoing your operation.
