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 evening. A lifelong nasal blockage on one side, present since childhood, was corrected during the rhinoplasty, and she describes feeling airflow through that nostril for the first time. Despite arriving with significant skepticism and fear, she left with no pain and a strong sense of trust in Dr. Anjali Saple, whom she credits for thorough pre-operative explanations and attentive post-operative follow-up.
Correcting a Lifelong Nasal Blockage
Revati had experienced a blocked nostril on one side since childhood. Following the rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Anjali Saple, she immediately noticed she could feel air moving through the previously blocked nostril, describing it as a notable and happy change.
“One side of my nose was always blocked since childhood. Now I am able to breathe. I can feel it. I can feel the other nostril taking the air and releasing it.”
Same-Day Bilateral Procedures and Discharge
Revati had both a rhinoplasty and a breast augmentation performed on the same day at Divyam Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery and was discharged the same evening. She arrived at 7am and was ready to go home by the time of her testimonial, reporting no pain from either procedure.
“I didn’t even realize that I was taken to surgery and I came out and everything is done.”
The seamless experience extended well beyond the operating room. Dr. Saple’s post-operative communication ensured Revati felt supported from the moment she left the clinic.
“Even when I go home she is messaging me. After a day she is messaging me. She is telling me exactly which cream to use, what meds I should take and at what time. She checks on me after a week and after 10 days.”
Overcoming Fear and Skepticism Through Doctor Communication
Revati arrived with considerable doubts and fear about undergoing surgery. The way Dr. Anjali Saple explained the procedures and communicated with her before and after treatment gave her the confidence to proceed and follow through.
“Even I came with a lot of skepticism, doubts and fear. But then the way you spoke to me and explained things — you are not someone…”
The Numbers Behind Her Journey
| Metric | Detail |
|---|---|
| Procedures combined in one session | Rhinoplasty and breast augmentation |
| Arrival time | 7am |
| Discharge | Same day as surgery |
| Post-operative follow-up touchpoints | Day 1, Week 1, Day 10 |
| Duration of nasal blockage | Since childhood |
Post-Operative Care and Follow-Up
Revati highlighted that Dr. Saple messages her after one day, one week, and ten days post-surgery, providing specific instructions on which creams to use and which medications to take and at what time. She described this ongoing availability as an important part of her positive experience.
“Her face stood out as if you know, someone who I can trust and go to and talk to.”
IV Insertion With Local Anaesthesia
Revati noted that the IV was placed using a small local anaesthesia, meaning she felt nothing during insertion. She described this as a first-time experience for her and a notable detail in how pain was managed throughout her care at Divyam Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery.
“I was asking the doctor have you put it and he said yes.”
Conditions & Treatment
Unilateral nasal obstruction: Revati had one side of her nose blocked since childhood, affecting her ability to breathe normally through that nostril. The condition was addressed as part of her rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Anjali Saple.
Rhinoplasty: A rhinoplasty was performed to address a unilateral nasal blockage that had been present since Revati’s childhood. The procedure resulted in immediate subjective improvement in nasal airflow through the previously blocked nostril.
Breast augmentation: Breast augmentation was performed on the same day as the rhinoplasty. Revati reported no pain at the surgical site and no pain when lifting her arms in the immediate post-operative period.
“Pain is not there.”
“Nothing at all.”
IV insertion with local anaesthesia: The IV line was placed using a small local anaesthesia at the insertion site, rendering the procedure painless for the patient.
Goals & Motivations
- Primary goal: To undergo rhinoplasty and breast augmentation, and to resolve a lifelong nasal blockage
- Why this practice: During her research comparing multiple doctors, Dr. Anjali Saple’s face stood out as someone she felt she could trust, speak to, and rely on
The Journey
- Research and doctor selection: Revati researched multiple doctors and felt a sense of trust when she saw Dr. Anjali Saple, leading her to choose Divyam Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery despite her initial skepticism and fear.
- Pre-operative consultation: Dr. Saple spoke with Revati and explained the procedures in detail, which helped reduce her doubts and gave her the confidence to proceed.
- Day of surgery: Revati arrived at 7am. IV access was placed with local anaesthesia so she felt nothing. Both the rhinoplasty and breast augmentation were performed, and she was unaware of being taken into and out of surgery.
- Immediate post-operative: Revati reported no pain from the breast augmentation, no pain when lifting her arms, and immediate subjective improvement in nasal breathing. Her only discomfort was dryness in her voice from not drinking water all day.
- Discharge: Revati was discharged the same day as her surgery and was eager to go home.
- Post-operative follow-up: Dr. Saple messages Revati at day one, week one, and day ten after surgery, providing specific instructions on creams and medications with timing.
Results
- Physical: Immediate ability to feel airflow through the previously blocked nostril; no pain at the breast augmentation site; no pain when lifting arms
- Emotional: Happy with the overall experience; fear and skepticism replaced by trust and gratitude; eager to go home
- Timeline: Functional breathing improvement felt on the same day as surgery
Key Takeaways
- Both rhinoplasty and breast augmentation can be performed in a single same-day session with same-day discharge. — Patients considering multiple procedures may not realise they can be combined, reducing overall recovery time and time away from normal life.
- Functional nasal issues such as a chronically blocked nostril can be addressed during rhinoplasty. — Patients may not know that a cosmetic nose procedure can simultaneously resolve a long-standing breathing problem.
- IV insertion was performed with local anaesthesia, eliminating the sensation of the needle. — Patients with needle anxiety may be reassured that even IV placement can be made pain-free.
- Dr. Saple provides structured post-operative follow-up including messaging at day one, week one, and day ten with specific instructions. — Knowing that support continues after leaving the clinic can reduce the anxiety of going home after surgery.
- Thorough pre-operative communication helped a highly skeptical patient feel confident enough to proceed. — Patients who are fearful or doubtful may find reassurance in knowing that the consultation process at Divyam Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery is designed to address concerns before any decision is made.
