Daniel came to 8 West Clinic seeking septoplasty + rhinoplasty. Like many patients, Daniel had researched rhinoplasty for several years before taking the first step — completing the 8 West pre-assessment and booking a consultation with Dr. Buonassisi.
This documentary follows Daniel's complete journey: the initial consultation, the decision to proceed, surgery day, the early recovery period, and the final result at 12 months.
At the consultation, Dr. Buonassisi assessed Daniel's nasal anatomy, discussed their goals in detail, and used computer imaging to show a simulation of the potential result. The recommended technique — Septoplasty + Rhinoplasty — was explained in full, including the approach, expected recovery, and realistic outcome.
The procedure was performed at 8 West's accredited surgical facility in Vancouver. Dr. Buonassisi performed the surgery personally. Daniel's recovery followed the typical timeline — cast removal at day 8, return to work at day 12, and progressive improvement over the following months.
At 12 months, Daniel's result was fully visible. The before and after photography shown in this documentary is unretouched and published with Daniel's full consent.
"I wish I had done this sooner. The process was so much more straightforward than I expected, and the result is exactly what I hoped for." — Daniel
