Overview
Revati underwent both a rhinoplasty and a breast augmentation on the same day at Divyam Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery, arriving at 7am and being discharged the same day. A lifelong nasal blockage on one side was resolved by the rhinoplasty, and Revati describes being able to feel air moving through the previously blocked nostril for the first time. Despite arriving with significant skepticism, doubt, and fear, Revati left the experience feeling entirely at ease, crediting Dr. Anjali Saple’s communication style, gentle technique, and ongoing post-operative follow-up care for her confidence and comfort throughout the process.
A Lifelong Nasal Blockage, Finally Resolved
Revati had lived with a blocked nostril since childhood, and the rhinoplasty addressed this functional issue. Immediately after the procedure, she could feel air entering and leaving through the previously blocked side of her nose.
“One side of my nose was always blocked since childhood. Now I am able to breathe.”
Choosing Dr. Saple Based on Trust
Revati researched multiple doctors before making her decision. She described Dr. Anjali Saple’s face standing out to her as someone she could trust, approach, and speak openly with, which drove her final choice.
Gentle IV Insertion With Local Anaesthesia
Revati noted that her IV was inserted using a small local anaesthesia, and she did not feel it at all — something she described as a first in her experience. She had to ask Dr. Saple whether it had already been done.
“I was asking the doctor have you put it and she said yes. I didn’t even realize that I was taken to surgery and I came out and everything is done.”
That seamless, almost imperceptible transition into the operating theatre set the tone for the rest of Revati’s experience at Divyam Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery.
Same-Day Dual Procedure Experience
Revati had both a rhinoplasty and a breast augmentation performed on the same day, arriving at 7am and being cleared to go home the same evening. She experienced no pain from the breast augmentation and reported no difficulty lifting her arms immediately after surgery.
“I can feel the other nostril taking the air and releasing it.”
The Numbers Behind Her Journey
| Metric | Detail |
|---|---|
| Procedures performed | Rhinoplasty and breast augmentation (combined, same session) |
| Admission time | 7am |
| Discharge | Same day |
| Post-op follow-up schedule | Day 1, 1 week, and 10 days post-surgery |
Overcoming Fear and Skepticism
Revati arrived with considerable doubt and fear about undergoing surgery. Dr. Saple’s manner of explaining the procedures and communicating clearly helped Revati move past her apprehension and feel confident in her decision.
“Even I came with a lot of skepticism, doubts and fear.”
Post-Operative Follow-Up and Ongoing Care
After returning home, Dr. Saple continued to message Revati, providing instructions on which creams to use and when to take medications. Dr. Saple also checked in at one week and ten days post-surgery, which Revati highlighted as a meaningful part of her care experience.
“She is always there.”
Conditions & Treatment
Chronic unilateral nasal blockage: Revati had one side of her nose blocked since childhood, restricting airflow through that nostril. The condition was present her entire life prior to the rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty: A rhinoplasty was performed on Revati by Dr. Anjali Saple to address a nasal blockage that had been present since childhood on one side. The procedure produced immediate functional improvement, with Revati able to feel airflow through the previously blocked nostril straight after surgery.
Breast augmentation: A breast augmentation was performed on Revati on the same day as the rhinoplasty. Revati reported no pain in the breast area after surgery and was able to lift her arms without discomfort prior to discharge.
Local anaesthesia for IV insertion: A small local anaesthetic was applied before placing the IV line, rendering the insertion painless. Revati was unaware the IV had been inserted until she asked Dr. Saple.
Goals & Motivations
- Primary goal: To undergo rhinoplasty to correct a lifelong nasal blockage and to have a breast augmentation
- What triggered action: A long-standing functional nasal issue combined with a desire for breast augmentation led Revati to seek treatment
- Why this practice: During her research into multiple doctors, Revati was drawn to Dr. Anjali Saple because her face stood out as someone she could trust, approach, and speak openly with
The Journey
- Research and doctor selection: Revati researched multiple doctors and was drawn to Dr. Saple specifically because her face stood out as someone trustworthy during that research process.
- Pre-operative consultation: Dr. Saple spoke with Revati and explained the procedures in detail, helping her move past her considerable skepticism, doubt, and fear.
- Day of surgery: Revati arrived at 7am, had a painless IV insertion with local anaesthetic, and underwent both rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. She felt unaware of being taken to surgery and described the entire experience as seamless.
- Immediate post-operative recovery: Revati experienced no pain in the breast area, no difficulty lifting her arms, and immediately noticed she could breathe through the previously blocked nostril. She was cleared to go home the same day.
- Post-discharge follow-up: After returning home, Dr. Saple messaged Revati with instructions on which creams to use and when to take medications, and followed up again at one week and ten days post-surgery.
Results
- Physical: Revati could immediately feel air moving through the previously blocked nostril after rhinoplasty; she experienced no pain from the breast augmentation and had no difficulty lifting her arms
- Emotional: Revati left feeling happy, reassured, and grateful, having overcome her pre-operative fear and skepticism entirely
- Timeline: Functional breathing improvement was felt immediately after surgery on the same day as the procedure
Key Takeaways
- Both a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation can be performed on the same day with same-day discharge. — Patients considering multiple procedures may not realise they can be combined into a single operative session, reducing overall recovery time and hospital visits.
- Rhinoplasty can address functional breathing problems, not just cosmetic concerns. — Patients with chronic nasal blockages may not consider rhinoplasty as a solution, and Revati’s immediate post-operative relief illustrates its functional benefit.
- A local anaesthetic applied before IV insertion can make the process virtually painless. — Fear of needles or IV lines is common; knowing this technique is used can reduce anxiety for prospective patients.
- Post-operative care includes proactive follow-up messaging with specific instructions on medication and skincare. — Patients often worry about what to do after they leave the clinic; knowing the doctor will reach out removes uncertainty and provides reassurance.
- Even patients who arrive with strong fear and skepticism can leave feeling confident and positive about the experience. — Prospective patients who are hesitant may find it encouraging that another patient with the same doubts had a smooth and comfortable experience.
