“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.

“Love my Rhinoplasty Results -...”

I had a large hump and a drooping tip that I was unhappy with. I had some swelling and bruising post op but nothing unexpected. Overall I had very little pain and only took an occasional OTC pain reliever. more

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! I had my rhinoplasty as a result of an accident where my nose was broken....actually shattered. 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. Yes the world hours each day for years and noticed most doctors are extremely conservative and the ones that aren't leave you looking like Michael Jackson where it's so obvious anyone looking at them would know right away 'Hey! 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.

“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. During a difficult time, Dr. S couldn't have been more caring, he even made me laugh. I remember telling him "I may not have the best nose, but it is mine and I want it back. If I wake up with (celebrity's name)nose,... 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. I think the first doctor never addressed the uneven, wide, nostrils, and second tried to do it but couldn't make my nostrils symetric. Now i have asymetric nostrils and one side of nose/nostril is higher than other. My nose doesn't feel soft at all its... more

“Compassionate in Beverly Hills -...”

I always wanted to get my nose done. I had a very severe bump and my nose was crooked in almost a C shape. I had a bigger bump than most of the people I saw on these sights so that did make me a little nervous. I'm so glad that I decided to do it and I'm so glad I choose my doctor. I met with 4 different surgeons before ultimately deciding and I feel that I made the best possible choice. more

“Best Ethnic Rhinoplasty & Breast...”

Never liked my nose. I have always been considered "attractive," and 9 out 0f 10 ppl who knew I was going to do it, told me NOT TO, for fear of 'ruining a good thing." But I just felt that there was a "better nose under my nose somewhere." lol If that makes sense. My breasts, though I'm in my 20's with no children, had begun to sag a bit, from flucuating... more

“There is no bone on the bridge”

Told doctor to correct a previuos surgery. Also asked him to fill in the gaps in the bridge and correct it. As a result he said that he squeezed the bones. The photo taken 3weeks and a half after surgery shows and there are no bones. There was a rapid consultation due to time restrictions. Had rhinoplasty 8yrs ago but it was not successful as doctor was not fully qualified since... 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

“Had Rhinoplasty Done Twice by 2...”

I had my first rhinoplasty done 23 years ago. The doc did a very bad job. I was left with one side collapsed and scarred. I had it done again by a Hollywood doc 6 years later who fixed my nose properly. It isn't perfect, but I still don't look like the elephant man. I would recommend this surgery with a surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty only. Research your doc before going under the knife!!! 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).

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

“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.
