Manhattan Beach Rhinoplasty Doctors and Reviews

“Perfection - Spot on the Nose -...”

I had rhinoplasty back in 2007, and have been going in for your typical fillers etc since. Each time I go in for minor additions like this, I walk about feeling better than when I walked in. My rhinoplasty still thrills my heart as if it happened yesterday. I was actually carded at a bar and I'm 46!! Some of it may have been caused by low lighting, but in full lighting I get around 10+... more

“On my Way to Getting Rhinoplasty...”

I plan to have a rhinoplasty surgery in December of this year (2013). I have been researching for 2 years+ and have always had my eye on Dr. Motykie - that was until I found Dr. G. Now it is between Dr. Motykie or Dr. Grigoryants. Dr. G is VERY personable and I have yet to met with Dr. Motykie... Just finished my with my first consul with Dr. Motykie's office and my second consul with Dr... more

“Rhino with Dr. Grigoryants - Los...”

I am very nervous...my procedure is in 2 days. I always hated my nose my whole life and I finally decided I wanted to look the best I can from here on out and I decided to start the research.

I picked... more

“Rhinoplasit with Dr. Keyes - Beverly...”

I thought I'd start a review about dr.Keyes rhinoplasity since there isn't a lot written about him. I will be having my surgery with dr keyes this monday and I'm feeling nervous about it. However, Ive been praying that it will all go well. Dr.keyes seems to be confident with his skills and so it helps me to be less nervous. I will be updating you guys on how the surgery goes! I'll also be... more

“Exactly What I Wanted from a Doctor...”

I had an ethnic rhinoplasty procedure with the wonderful Dr Ashkan Ghavami in early autumn 2012. It was a decision I made after about 4 months of consideration and several consultations with other surgeons. I am based on the East Coast and had initially hoped to find a surgeon here that would have the skill and aesthetic vision to give me the nose I was looking for. Kismet sent me to LA for... more

“Rhinoplasty Experience - Beverly...”

Rhinoplasty Experience The decision to move forward with plastic surgery to improve the appearance of my nose was not an easy one. I kept second guessing myself and thinking of all the "what-ifs". The decision of which surgeon I would use was an easy one. My pain level was tolerable the day of and the next day it was pretty much gone completely. The nasal airway made it so I could breath... more

“Surgery Scheduled for May 31! -...”

Hello! It has helped so much to read everyone's rhinoplasty experience on this website! Everyone here seems very understanding and supportive which helped me to come start on my own experience. My story is similar to many on this site, I'm 20 years old and I have disliked my nose since I was about 11 or 12. My nose does not look too bad from the front, but the profile is what I have a problem... more

“Dr Don Yoo Performed a...”

Dr Don Yoo performed a rhinoplasty/septoplasty on me – and my nose looks FANTASTIC!! And it looks better than I could have ever imagined. My nose was severely deviated with a large bump. I also had difficulty breathing and hated my profile. The results - It looks amazing!!! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. My family and friends say my nose looks great and very natural and some have... more

“*UPDATED* 15 days post op! LOVE IT”

I'm 24 and have disliked my nose since I hit puberty. I feel like it suddenly got too big for my face, and has a round, bulbous tip. I work in the film industry in Los Angeles and always find myself getting my picture taken. I especially hate the way my nose photographs since it has a deviated septum and seems to slant to the left. I feel like I look witchy in pictures. I started... more

“He Really is One of the Best...”

Six months ago I had a Rhinoplasty with Dr. Frankel. I had an older brother who also had Rhinoplasty and he originally had one by somebody else, but he had bad reactions of the stitches and it didn't go well and he went to Dr. Frankel. When I came around because I really did not like my nose, I just went to Dr. Frankel. He did a really great job. The second he saw me, he knew exactly what to... more

“Best Decision I've Ever Made -...”

Dr. Calvert did a rather difficult rhinoplasty for me. Prior to my surgery I could barely smell or taste. I could not breathe through the left side of my nose and hated how my nose looked. Post surgery, I can breathe much better, smell and taste better and my nose looks how I had always dreamed it would. I still look like me, but my nose is smaller, more symmetrical and fits my face much... more

“Thrilled with my Experience -...”

I'm not a big review person - but seeing as though I read numerous reviews before having my surgery, I feel obligated to share my experience, as well as compliment this amazing practice. Unbiased from any other reviews I'm going solely off my experience with Profiles Beverly Hills. Unfortunately, most of my life I faced a constant battle with a deviated septum and multiple nose fractures.... more

“My Nose Looks Bent from Front on...”

I had rhinoplastly done 3 months ago, and my nose looks great from side on but from front on it looks bent and when I take photos you can really tell. I'm only 17 and I asked for a natural look. Please help I'm stressing! I know It has a long time to heal But I'm just nervous. I know it is still early but any help and answe would be great! more

“Rhinoplasty with Chin Augmentation -...”

It took me almost a year to decide I was ready. My biggest concern was going under in surgery, I had a little heart issue and was honestly just scared. I finally pushed myself to do it and everything turned out great. The day of surgery, I felt calm when I thought I would be anxious. They gave me a little drug that calmed me down. I remember laying on the table getting ready to go under and... more

“July 8th - Surgery Scheduled! - Los...”

I've always been considered a pretty girl, however my nose bugs the crap out of me when I smile, and take photos. The columella hangs low, and the tip is slightly bulbous. My right nostril is also slightly higher than the left side, which makes me dislike my profile on my right side. I have read reviews on this website from other's stories, and looked at PS websites. The doctors I've read... more

“Day Two”

I am scheduled to have an open rhinoplasty done seventeen days from now during my high-school spring intersession. I have never been teased or bullied but instead have decided to have the procedure done since I am self-conscious and feel it isn't proportional to my facial features. I have read a number of blogs and watched several YouTube videos on experiences which have helped me gain an... more

“Rhinoplasty, Tummy Tuck, and Breast...”

Dr. Calvert is an excellent plastic surgeon and he helped me breathe again. I had a deviated septum that was so bad, I couldn't breathe. I had previously had a rhinoplasty done to correct it, but the ENT doctor who did the surgery while I was on Active Duty, (yes, I'm a Veteran) didn't correct the deviated septum and for 10 years I still couldn't breathe until I was referred to the Plastic... more

“Perfect Nose, Less Than Perfect...”

8 months post-op and I am in LOVE with the results. My nose looks natural and perfect at the same time, and people I see regularly don't believe I've had surgery even when I tell them. My mother even forget, and she flew out to help me recover!  Dr. Motykie is pricey, about double the national average from the looks of it. Save your money and pay him in cash or with a 2-year... more

“Dr jay calvert is a genius - Beverly...”

Dr calvert fixed my big persian nose and did a great job! He made it smaller more narrow and fixed my breathing and sinus issues.He did a great job and can def recommend him for fixing big noses! I went to many doctors before and they all told me it could be fixed but not the way i wanted.Dr jay Calvert was the only one who told me everything is possible what i had in my mind and... more

“Very Happy! Very Grateful - Los...”

My cast was taken off three days ago. Even though there is still quite a bit of swelling, my nose is beautiful and I can hardly believe that it is mine. For most of my life I disliked the appearance of my nose. It was over-projected, deviated to the right, with a larger tip. I spent my 8 days of recovery completely worry-free about the outcome because I trusted that Dr. Rawnsley would give... more

“Loved my Nose Job from Dr. Richard...”

I recently went to Dr. Richard Zoumalan for a nose job and I could not be happier. Not only was he extremely professional and kind, he truly is the best at what he does. I met with many doctors in the area, but Dr. Richard Zoumalan is the only one who guaranteed me that I would still look like my self, but without that awful bump! When I saw the results, I couldn't believe how good it came... more

“Best Experience Ever - Beverly Hills, CA”

I first met Dr.Zoumalan last year when I came to him for my nose. I was very unhappy with my hump on my nose and how crooked it was. I also had serious sinus issues and breathing issues for years that i couldn't treat by medication anymore. And it was nice to see what I would look like after surgery. I had my surgery in October and its January and it changed my life. First off, my nose looks... more

“Nobody 'Nose' Better Than Dr....”

I had been having breathing problems due to a deviated septum causing my airway to be bent. Needless to say I am extremely pleased with the results, it has not only changed my physical appearance but also my confidence. The surgery was painless, and recovery time lasted only about a week for me and I was able to go back to work. more

“Cast is off!!!”

After months of research I decided to go to Dr. G. I never thought I would have to get surgery on my face but after a horrible accident I want a new nose. I always loved my nose until I broke it playing softball in middle school and then again 4 months ago when I tripped and planted face first on the bed frame as we were moving. I have been to five consults in Miami and WPB (where I live) but... more

“Reborn, Nose Job, Upper Lip Lift,...”

1 word about Dr Haworth, that is BRILLANT - he did ask me to write a review and I had no hesitation-with pleasure Doc! ...I gotta admit I was a bit of a difficult patient with doctors and people "of authority" in the past- I am a recovering addict and a former top model- I had my demons and I felt and looked like sh*t,!!!I threw away my femininity-I was angry and felt sorry for myself.... more

“Love the Result! - Los Angeles, CA”

I broke my nose playing basketball about 10 years ago and have a very noticeable hump and most of all, long nose(I guess they call it a nose tip). So  Anyways, I finally got my surgery and it's now been about 6 months and I'm very satisfied with what I see in the mirror. I don't think I'll be playing basketball again because I don't want to pay another $4,000, instead I think I'll just be... more

“Truly an Artist. - Beverly Hills, CA”

I had a finesse rhinoplasty with Dr. S&L at Profiles Beverly Hills. By "finesse" I mean I wanted specific changes to be made to my nose that wouldn't affect my overall "look". I'm a young model, and I didn't want to look "plastic" at all. I normally bruise like a pear, however I had almost zero bruising which is fantastic, as I am not telling my friends/family about the procedure. I... more

“2 Months - Will the sausage look...”

I've been considering this procedure forever! Never felt ugly but was always bothered by my nose. Whenever I get ready, I always feel like my nose is the one aspect of my face that just ruins it for me. I always think I'd look prettier and more confident if I didnt have this hump. From the front I look fine, I got big eyes, so it takes away from it. But the side profile is terrible. I HATE... more

“After 11yrs of Looking I Did It in...”

So like everyone else here..I've never liked my nose. I have had a masculine looking nose.. Everything was wrong with it! The bridge was to wide .. Nostrils.. And tip was ginormous ...lol. After wanting to get my surgery for many years.. I've shopped and got estimates from like 5 doctors through out the years.. But never had the money to do it. I even got a lil desperate and went to Mexico... more

“Rhinoplasty/Botox - Beverly Hills, CA”

As for results, I've gotten a lot of compliments since I've had a rhinoplasty/botox with him. I haven't reached one year post op on my nose yet, so I can't comment on the final result, but I do see great improvement. I'll leave a review for the final result whenever that may be. I hope it goes back to shape it had when the cast came off, because that looked perfect. more

“Couldn't Be More Pleased - Beverly...”

After talking to several surgeons in the Los Angeles area, I decided to go with Dr. Litner and his partner Dr. Solieman because they listened to my (admittedly) minor issues with my nose and understood exactly what I was after. I needed a light hand and a delicate touch- a bit of artistry. The surgery went off without a hitch, my recovery was fast and painless. I had multiple follow up... more

“Counting Down the Days! - Beverly...”

I met with Dr. Simoni on 11/20/12 at his Beverly Hills office. Before meeting with him I had met with Dr. Fisher in Yorba Linda. Dr.Fisher was my first consultation which was awful because they told me I couldn't meet with the the Dr. until I scheduled my surgery? Ummmm yeah thats not going happen. Dr. Simoni on the other hand was very thorough during the consultation and made me feel at ease... more

“Left my Face Deformed - Beverly...”

I got rhinoplasty off dr ghavami last year and,he left 5 deformitys in my nose,he took so much off d profile it colapsed he left no collumella an it collapsed, he left pig snout deformity.destroyed the skin by burning the cells so it looks like mush and when i only wanted my nose brought in a bit he left my face deformed,i wish i chose anyone else.  more

“Cast off. Tip swollen but cute-...”

I am like every other person here who has grown up hating there nose. My nose is huge and bulbous. I have been told that I have thick skin but not too bad. The main thing that makes me nervous is that my Dr. seems a little overworked and in a hurry. But I love his results, the pictures I have seen. I met him today for my pre op and he seems confident in being able to deliver the results I... more

“Horrible Rhinoplasty . The Tip of...”

Went in for rhinoplasty. I chose Dr. Lee because of all of those advertisements, but I chose the wrong doctor. First, he was 2 hours late for my surgery because something went wrong with the patient before me. (It was probably a bad outcome as well.) Then,it was my turn. Months later, I voiced my concern about the tip of my nose and regarding the hump in the middle of my nose which I NEVER... more

“I Need to Schedule a Rhinoplasty in...”

I've wanted to get surgery for a long time as I have a big long nose but I have been too afraid and also could not afford it. I have gone to a few free consultations and now it's the moment of truth -- i need to pick a Dr. this week and I'm not sure how. Seen Dr. Jason Hamilton, Dr. Michael Persky, Dr. Richard Fleming and Dr. Paul Nassif. Any advice??? Is there a really talented facial surgeon... more

“The Beginning of a Fresh Start -...”

Hello everyone, I am a 19 year old female living in Los Angeles, California. I have never been picked on about my nose but I have always felt very self conscious about it. I have finally saved up enough for it, and I have scheduled a consultation for Thursday, November 15. I really hope it goes well and I am able to go through with it A.S.A.P. I just wanted to share my experience with you... more

“Great Experience - Los Angeles, CA”

I had a bump on my nose after it had been broken. I was very self-conscious about it. Now I have no bump on my nose and it's no longer broken, it's fixed and beautiful. I now have the nose I always wanted. The procedure didn't hurt at all. The recovery time was fast. more

“Just over 1 Week Until my...”

I have hated my nose since about age 9 when I started getting teased about it. I never really considered a rhinoplasty because I always thought it would be out of reach financially. Luckily, my insurance is covering it! It was a difficult decision, especially because I've come to embrace my unique look. I am, however, in a business where looks are very important (theatre and film). I want... more

“Rhinoplasty Consultation - Beverly...”

Friendly doctor. I will be getting my rhinoplasty here as soon as possible. I got a free consultation and was not pressured into purchasing anything. His staff is wonderful. They really know how to make you feel welcome. I trust that this doctor will do an amazing job on my nose once the time comes. more

“The Best Doc in Town - Beverly Hills, CA”

I did a lot of research when looking for a Dr. who specialized in Rhinoplasty. Been to 4 docs including Dr. Kanodia (the famous nose guy who was aweful) and finally decided on Dr. Torkian. He spent almost 2 hours with me on my free of charge, 3-D aided consultation. He is pretty much the most attentive doc you'll ever meet. Did my surgery 8 months ago and couldn't be happier with results. My... more

“Worst Decision in my Life - Beverly...”

I was suffering from a deviated septum and difficulty breathing. i went to dr.litner and his partner dr.soliemen because of what i thought were honest reviews. but i have to say having them perform my surgery was the biggest mistake in my life. They have completely destroyed my breathing and the aesthitic look of my nose and am now currently looking for a skilled revision surgeon. Please... more

“Best Thing I've Ever Done for Myself...”

I was relieved to find out my insurance would cover a large part of the surgery because of my deviated septum. The entire process from consult, pre op, to operation day was so incredibly easy I can't believe it. My surgery was scheduled for about a month after my consult The day of surgery I was pretty nervous but Dr. and his awesome nurses and anesthesiologist were amazing. They... more

“I Need a Revision Specialist Please...”

Hi, I had a nose job almost 2years ago; I had the worst surgeon in LA. Very un professional, rude, the whole office the stuff is rude, when you go for consultation, they are so fake with you, they make you think he is the only surgeon! I made the biggest mistake of my life, I wish I have never ever gone, to this doctor. Unfortunately I didn’t research, It has been the longest 2 years... more

“My Rhinoplasty Journey - Huntington...”

For a long time I though my nose was just to big for my face that it overwhelmed and unbalanced my face a lot. So the morning of august 16th i had my rhinoplasty done. Its now been 24 hours sense then and I am glad i got through the first night as I think that is the hardest. I trust my doctor completely and I am glad I chose him. Here is what i look like the day after surgery. Going... more

“Surgery booked with Dr. Grigoryants!...”

Hello everyone! I'll chime in with my thoughts and experience now. It seems people grow self-conscious of their noses at around 12-13, and it's the same with myself. Until a few years ago, I didn't give it much thought aside from pinching it in mirrors just to see how it would appear altered because I thought I'd learn to live with it and/or grow in it. Neither of those have happened, and I'm... more

“On to a Revision...primary Was Very...”

Hello, I chose a pair of surgeons in LA to do my primary. I ended up with a very conspicuous graft that must be removed, a retracted columella and retracted nostrils. I will now have to have a revision that will take at least 3.5-6 hours in the OR and cost upwards of $11,000.I had a primary with this doctor a couple of years ago. I ended up with a retracted columella because my cartilages were... more

“Don't Go to Dr. Bruno if You Are in...”

I got an ethnic rhinoplasty from dr. bruno and the results were less than what i had expected. he slapped an implant on top of my nose and barely reduced the nostrils, which is what i needed the most. it was much less refined than what i wanted it to be. i had to find another surgeon to reduce the size of my nostrils since dr. bruno was unable to do a sufficient job the first time. during the... more

“Nose, Nose go away! UPDATE: Date...”

Ever since I was a kid I realized my nose was not cute at all. It didnt look bad when I was really little but once puberty hit it grew and morphed along with the rest of me! Its long, wide, has a bump and to me always looked like a witch nose =O I think the boys that knew me in school would agree because in school I wasnt one of the best looking girls on campus. Growing up some friends... more

“Finally Had my Nose Done After Years...”

Had it done in 2010 after moving to Los Angeles at the age of 24. I started modeling when I was younger and felt like my nose was definately holding me back from a full potential, by giving me a too ethnic look. I have always had a big nose with a bump that didn't match the rest of my softer and more aesthetic facial features. So finally I saved up and got the courage to go to a bunch of... more

“Don't Know What to Feel - Beverly...”

I've been considering rhino for a few years now...every time something happens and I put it off. My last bf...when he found out I wanted it, pretty much threatened to break up with me. My current bf when I told him...he was supportive and told me its up to me and he'll support me either way (but I better not start getting anything else done...like boobs etc...lol ...of course not!) I... more

“Best Surgery Experience - Santa...”

There are nothing but pros from this surgery. I am so glad that I had this surgery because I have always been self-conscious of the profile of my nose, but now it looks so great and people compliment me all the time, but they have no idea what I had done. I would have this surgery all over again in a heartbeat because it has changed my life. The only thing that I regret was not meeting Dr.... more

“A Miracle Worker! - Glendale, CA”

At the age of 41, I finally decided to get rhinoplasty, something I’d wanted since I was a teenager. I’m no stranger to body modifications – I’ve had a breast augmentation and have been extensively tattooed. But facial cosmetic surgery made me very nervous. After all, it’s right there in the middle of your face. If it turns out bad, there’s no way to hide it... more

“Surgery done!”

Hello, After many years of thinking about it I finaly got brave and dicided to do it. Went for my consulation with Dr Walter Dishell in Encino, CA.

“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.

It's been about a month since my surgery, and I have noticed that one of my nostrils are bigger than the other.. I felt like my left nostril is smaller than the right... Is my nose still swollen? It's quite nerve wrecking since I don't want my nose to turn out like this.. Tomorrow will be my one month post op... Please help me out..I've been so emotional and my confidence has... more

“Upturned Nose and Nostril Asymmetry...”

Hi all. I had minor rhino (2 hr procedure) about 20 days ago. My only request was to narrow the width. Unfortunately my nose seems a little shorter and the tip is rotated upward. Initially, I looked like Miss Piggy right after the procedure, but I knew it was due to the swelling. To top it off, I had a sinus infection. So I was feeling REAL good. Anyhow, good news is the swelling has gone... 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. I finally decided to go in for a consultation and at least get an idea of what a rhinoplasty entailed. Dr.Stevens made me feel so comfortable during my consultation I decided to schedule surgery that same day. At my pre-op he answered all... more

“My 2 Year Old Rhinoplasty Went Bad.....”

I selected a very famous, well-known doctor who claims to be an expert in ethnic procedures. I did visit many doctors from Orange County to Beverly Hills, and I ended up using the one that was the best sales man with a pushy staff of sales people. My recommendation #1: If you go to an office which has someone besides the doctor telling you the cost and about the procedure, walk out fast... If... more

“My Nose Was Shattered in an Accident...”

My nose had to be rebuilt after being shattered. Dr. Fleming was nothing short of amazing. Thrilled with the results and now looking forward to going back and having a neck lift!

My healing and recovery went very well and I had no problems during the recovery...a little bruising that is to be... more

“Rhinoplasty, Septoplasty - Beverly...”

After 17 years of not being happy with my nose, I finally decided to take the plunge. I am ethnically Afghan and had a big bump on my nose that I am convinced I made worse by breaking it a few times as a child. In addition to the bump, it was also crooked! I waited for a long time before even going for a consultation because I pretty much knew that I needed a full reconstruction. To me that... more

“Truly the Best! - Newport Beach, CA”

Esthetically, Deviated Septum, Turbinate Reduction I researched plastic surgeons all over the world.

She/ He had a nose job!'  I also noticed... more

“Smooth surgery”

Boosted self confidence, went smoothly! I've wanted rhinoplasty since 11 years old. My big Jewish nose haunted me and distracted from my other flattering features. Seeing so much bad plastic surgery, I made it a mission to find the best surgeon FOR ME. Price and distance meant nothing to me, because you want this done right, the first time. If you want honest and extremely helpful... more

“Love my New Nose - Beverly Hills, CA”

I think Dr. Motykie is a fantastic surgeon. He listened to everything I disliked about my nose and gave his professional advice. He fixed my deviated septum, and refined my nose to make it look more feminine AND natural. Many people didn't even realize I had my nose done. I am very happy with my result and I 100% recommend him for a rhinoplasty. more

“Best Guy in Town for Nasal Surgery -...”

I wanted to feel better about myself. Since I was about 15 I noticed my face changed in ways that I did not expect. I was on growth hormone therapy and suffered a trauma to my nose and forehead. My tissue thickened up as a result. I was left emotionally scarred and I suffered looking at my face in the mirror. I went looking for doctors because I wanted to feel like myself again. Nobody... more

“Such a Great Doctor! - Beverly Hills, CA”

I can't remember a time when I liked my nose or willingly posed for a photo. In recent years, my displeasure with this feature constantly crossed my mind while dating or attending social events. I always wondered if people noticed how big my nose was, the size of the bump at the top, or whether the tip descended too far down my face and basically obscured my upper lip. Despite the... more

“Rhinoplasty - Beverly Hills, CA”

Im beyond devastated with my results, a year later. Initially, theres a reason I went in for it. But the end result was far different than discussed/shown to me. Tip pulled up too high, bridge chiseled beyond agreement. EVERY friend, family member, surgeon, agrees and especially my husband (who stood by me entirely this difficult year---& I dont know why) AGREES that too much was done... more

“The Only Dr. I Would Trust my Nose...”

I couldn't breathe! I would definitely recommend him for any kind of rhinoplasty. I was unable to breathe out of one side of my nose, and Dr. Kotler immediately said he could fix it, no problem. After a great consultation, I left with an appointment for the surgery. The actual surgery was great, went quickly and I had minimal time to recover. He used his new patented nose tubes to... more

“The Best Decision I Made, the Best...”

I have been wanting to have nose job since my early teen years. I have always felt insecure about my nose. Pictures were always screaming big nose to me.

I have couple of friends who had their... more

“Got my Nose Back - Marina Del Ray, CA”

Several years ago, I was in a horrible car crash, that resulted in a broken nose. Just new to LA from NYC, I called my doctor out there who recommended Dr. S.

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.
