“Happy Repeat Customer from 5 Yrs Ago...”

My nose hump & barely there chin with neck fat always bothered me & I dreaded photos from my upcoming wedding day so I got it fixed and was thrilled! The hump was removed, I had a chin implant, neck lift with lipo to remove the fat. I had lost 90 lbs and my skin was very loose. For the first time, I had a nice profile and loved the results. My own brother doesn't know I had surgery... more

“Rhinoplasty Surgery - Newport Beach, CA”

I had a nose that did not come close to fitting my face, I felt like it was blocking the rest of me from looking the way I should. I felt as if it took all the attentions away from everything else. more

“Open Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty- Los...”

So after browsing this site for a couple months I decided to start documenting my own process. I'm in the southern California area and have been searching for a Doctor since the new year. Unfortunately, I discovered it's incredibly hard to find information and honest reviews. Right now I have a consultation with Dr. Rawnsley next week, and am considering Dr. Hilinski and Dr.... more

“Definitely Worth It - Newport Beach, CA”

I wanted to get surgery to fix my septum and also get a turbinate reduction to help me breath. Dr. Sadati also lifted the tip of my nose and took off my hump. I also had fat transferred from my stomach to under my eyes to fill in the hollowness. This was my first time getting surgery and was a fairly good experience. My only complaint is still fading after 3 months, but I have very fair skin.... more

“Rhinoplasty in Newport Beach, CA”

I have always disliked my nose. I was often made fun of because of its size and it unfortunately has affected how I view myself. I have a wide nose with a hump and no real definition. I think it's just a blob that takes up way too much of my face. I scheduled my consultation with Dr. Elam on the 4th of February. The consultation went wonderfully. I was shown what my nose should look... more

“Best Decision Ever, and Best Doctor...”

I can not say enough about Dr. Rollin Daniel, and the job he did on my nose. I had a hook nose, which looked ok from the front, but NOT good from the side. This is something I have wanted to do forever, but of course making such a major change to your face is nerve wrecking. However, I could not be more happy with my decision to go forward with the procedure, and mostly my choice of doctor... more

“Still Me, Only Better - Newport...”

I wanted a thinner bridge & a more refined tip. Also, I had breathing problems due to enlarged turbinates. I've never had a really big issue with my nose; I have always liked my profile & 3/4 view, but have always wanted it to be a little thinner head-on with more of a defined tip. I've also had breathing problems resulting from enlarged turbinates. So my most important... more

“Glad I Had Rhinoplasty - CA”

My nose has always been crooked with one nostril smaller than the other. I had never liked my profile due to the hump on my nose and the long look of my nose. Rhinoplasty wasn't something I 'had' to do but one of those things in life that I have always wondered 'what if.' I'm so glad I took the leap to do this for myself. I had surgery on 12/14/11. My doctor is an... more

“Love my New Nose :) - Marina Del Rey, CA”

I had been unhappy with the bump on my nose for years, I hated the way it looked in pictures but never had the courage to actually get/have plastic surgery.

“Looks 100% Natural - Newport Beach, CA”

I broke my nose when I was in high school, I am now in my early thirties. My nose was deviated to the right side, I had a slight bulge between the eye and my nose from the bone healing on the left side, and my right nostril would collapse under hard breathing. I also had a bulbous tip that I wanted to fix. I had a Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty done. Dr. Sajjadian said my nose did not want to... more

“Nervous and Excited - Orange County, CA”

My surgery is scheduled for November 16th, 2011 - exactly six weeks from today. I'm very nervous, but have recently told my family about my decision and they have been overwhelmingly supportive! My nose is just big. It's got a bulbous tip and it just doesn't fit my face. I'm 28 years old and I feel like my face should be a lot softer.. a lot prettier. My nose throws... more

“Couldn't Have Asked for Better! -...”

I have always been insecure about my nose but was too scared to actually go through with rhinoplasty.

“Rhinoplasty is a Crap Shoot - Orange...”

I got a nose job on my giant Jew nose back in 2002. It was an improvement anything would have been I mean it looked like a clown nose. However, it is far from perfect. It collapsed on one side and became crooked as time went on. I recently had a revision by the same doc which was in his words a simple alar graft. I had high hopes but it hasn't turned out so well. The scar tissue has... more

“Asymetric Nostrals from the First...”

I had 2 rhinoplasty procedure done. First in 2001 was done to correct my crooked bump on my nose, the other in 2008 to fix the tip.

The procedure not only corrected the physical aspect of my nose but also helped my... more

“Purely Disregarding the Patient's...”

Appearance after the surgery was pretty good, great I should say. However, I had trouble breathing and Dr. did not care to offer a solution or fix the problem after the surgery. I told him before the surgery that I don't care if there will be a little bump, as my goal was tip re-shaping/reduction. Although asked not to be done, the bones were filed/shaved, broken and realigned closer... more

“Years and Years of Botched...”

I decided to have rhinoplasty performed by a surgeon whose claim to fame was being hailed by Donald Trump as the one he trusted to operate on his beauty pageant contestants. Another factor was the modest discount I received because of my own connections with that industry.The doctor was very nice but his work was crap. In retrospect, I had a very beautiful tip that probably just needed to be r more

“Nose Still Bulbous and Large Four...”

Exactly four months ago, I underwent a closed rhinoplasty to reduce a bump on the bridge of my nose. When the cast originally came off the week after surgery, the bridge of my nose looked very thin and delicate, exactly how I wanted, however the tip was very swollen and bulbous. My surgeon explained that it takes at least 12 months after surgery for the tip to heal, however I have not seen any... more

“Help with Rhinoplasty”

I'm really worried about the results of my rhinopasty and the doc has not even taken the splint off yet (had surgery 6 days ago). Is it normal to feel this way?  I'm worried that the space above my lip is too big.  Does that part usually get swollen too? It was worth it after all!!!  I was in shock at first because my face was still swollen, but now I love the fat gr more

“Had Rhinoplasty a Year Ago....”

I fell off a bunkbed when I was 7 years old and landed on my nose...and had a pretty noticeable bump. Later, I got hit in the nose in the same place and the bump just kept getting more pronounced. I don't think anyone would comment or say I had a "bad" nose before surgery, but it definitely did not help my profile. I started getting really fixated on this darn bump about two years ago... more

“Love my New Nose”

I used to have a huge nose. It was thick, large and widely spread across my face. As a result, it drew a lot of attention and naturally made me uncomfortable. I could see that whenever people approached me, their eyes would be stuck at my nose in amusement. My nostrils were super huge too. I just had to get a nose job. I have grown up being teased about my nose and now i made up my mind that... more
