An Experience with Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles

My sister went ahead and got plastic surgery at a Los Angeles area clinic and did
not even tell me about her plans! Can you belive that! Anyway, she used a West Covina
cosmetic surgery clinic. The procedure she had done was a rhinoplasty (nose job).
Nose jobs are very common in Los Angeles so she’s not alone. I asked her to write
about some of her experiences and decisions she had to make when choosing her
Los Angeles cosmetic surgeon
. The doctor she used was:

Dr. Brian Machida
1250 S. Sunset Ave. #206, West Covina, CA 91790
626 337-0821

This is her advice:

I recently had the luxury of choosing cosmetic surgery. A lot of people do not.
They must receive nonelective surgery for a specific ailment. I chose to have a
rhinoplasty after months of consideration.

I didn’t do everything just right on the day of my cosmetic surgery and days following.
I did not take my doctor and staff’s professional medical advice as seriously as
I should. This was my first mistake. My doctor wanted me to take valium prior to
the surgery to calm me. I thought I’d just do some yoga breathing. Turns out that
did not work. When I arrived at his office I became nervous and the breathing was
useless. Drugs would have been much better.

Also, I was instructed to take and complete an antibiotic treatment. After three
days I left the aid of my VERY responsible party and I stopped taking the antibiotics.
This was another mistake. At my one week follow up the staff again informed me to
continue on with them until I’m done. I listened. Thankfully everything was fine.
I had it in my head that because I chose this surgery and I am perfectly healthy
I did not have to follow their advice so carefully. Your body does not know you
chose a surgery or not. Surgery is traumatic regardless for any human and should
be taken seriously. Lucky for me my recovery is going great and I am happy with
my nose.

Some things to consider before surgery:
1. Listen to your doctor and staff.
2. Take your surgery very seriously
3. Choose a responsible party to take care of you

I hope in the future I can convince her to give me some more info about why she
chose Dr. Machida and the particular LA plastic surgery facility she ended up choosing. It’s a great opportunity to get some first hand information about some who has experienced plastic surgery in Los Angeles
