Rancho Cucamonga Rhinoplasty Doctors and Reviews

“Expected a Rough Recovery but...”

I had rhinoplasty surgery on Feb. 22 performed by Dr. Oakley Smith. I am 40 years old and have disliked my nose for a very very long time. How do you find a good surgeon? Well, i looked on the computer and looked. I went to 2 other consultations. I kept looking. One surgeon, with my photo on the computer in front of us, simple just turned up my nose and said.,. see this is what well do. I... more

“I Feel Really Bad About my Nose...”

Well I was born with a cute and small nose I had a great childhood but once I reached 22 yo my nose started getting big and weired and then ppl around me noticed and started commenting on it it was getting bigger and bigger every month and it was fast. I'm a respectful smart calm and polite guy but once my nose started turning to the left everyone disrespected me and made fun of me even my... more

“My Rhinoplasty (Middle Eastern Nose)...”

I had broken my nose in wrestling several times. I had trouble breathing and my nose look exteremly big and swollen.

When I look at my old pictures last week, I noticed the big change but my nose looks so good and natural that my friends can not tell that I... more

“Rhinoplasty/septoplasty Great...”

Dr. Ali Sajjadian and his office staff are very professional, reliable and comforting. My surgery went as planned as Dr. Sajjadian came to the pre-op room to check in and go over the procedure one more time. I felt once again, comforted by his acknowledgment of my fears and anxiety before surgery. In addition, the surgery center could not have been better staffed and friendly. Post-op... more

“Love my New Nose - Newport Beach, CA”

I had rhinoplasty in 2010 and having it done has made me friendly, more outgoing with people. I want everyone to notice my nose because it looks so good and everyone complements my nose as they say that i have a beautiful profile and when I tell them i had rhinoplasty no one believes me because it looks so natural. I am not self conscious about it and I feel more beautiful and honestly I... more

“Cast OFF!!!! - Orange County, CA”

So I have been reading these reviews for months now and have finally decided to make one of my own! I have always wanted to change my nose ever since i was around 12 when someone made fun of me in Middle School! I didn't even really think about my nose until then and it's been on my mind ever since. I am always so self conscious in pictures at certain angles especially the side view. I have no... more

“Rhinoplasty Perfection! - Orange...”

The second I stepped foot into the office, his staff was extremely welcoming to my family and I and I felt right at home. I had a broken nose from soccer in college and along with it not being straight; I had a terrible deviated septum and trouble breathing. I knew I wanted to get it fixed when I graduated and got referred to Dr. Elam from a family friend. I no longer lived in California and... more

“Skilled Surgeon and Artist That...”

Dr. Sadati really looked at my nose and chin and gave me a nose that I look like I was born with and took away the excess fat under my chin so I look thinner and younger. The nose was actually fairly painless and healed pretty quickly except for the deep bruising I had. The chin took longer to heal and was numb for many weeks and will still take several months more to fully heal but it looks... more

“My Nose Looks Great and my Breathing...”

A friend referred me to Dr Sajjadian because she said he was the best at nose surgery. I was always bothered by my nose and wanted it to be nicer looking. My nose had a hump on the bridge and the tip was curved down-- it did not look feminine or attractive. I had also breathing problem, frequent headaches and sinus issues. When I frist met Dr Sajjadian, I felt at ease and comfortable instantly... more

“I Couldn't Be Happier and Wouldn't...”

I had this procedure years ago, and requested for Dr. Kohli to do what he felt would look the best with my facial structure. I initially wanted a more "trendy" and small nose, but ultimately decided to trust his opinion that a smiall nose would not be harmonious with my features, and instead let him work his magic. Well, he did, and my nose looks very natural and is absolutely gorgeous. I so... more

“My Nose Looks Amazing and Had an...”

Dr. Elam and his staff where exceptional in every aspects of my rhinoplasty. They made me feel comfortable when taking about my fears and insecurities, no judgment.

I put complete faith in Dr. Elam and I am extremely glad I did. My... more

“My Septorhinoplasty Was a Success! -...”

I had my deviated septum for years, and a bump in my nose i also wanted to get rid off, but i am the type of person that i do not like change, especially in my face, i was afraid if i was goin to have surgery i was going to look different. Then one of my friends had a rinoplasty years back with dr Elam, and she looked faboulous, so the thougth of having surgery lingered on my mind for years.... more

I am so happy with my entire experience with Michael Elam MD! I just love him he is so wonderful! He did such a great job if you didn't know me before you would never know I had a nose job it looks so natural and perfect. The entire staff is great I especially love the receptionist Molly.

“Feels like this was my nose all along”

Hello everyone. First of all, a huge thank you to all of you for posting about your experience on this site!! It has helped me so much and has given me a lot of assurance. I am in my mid 20s and am going in for rhinoplasty on July 11th. Since I was very little, I was always told about how big my nose was by others. Family members would always make comments such as, "too bad you didn't get... more

“Decision in the Making - West Covina, CA”

I have been wanting to get a nose job for a really long time but I have lacked the money to do it (to be honest, I really don't even have the money now). I have made 4 consultation appointments for the month of June; my first one being this Friday, June 1st. I am a little nervous because I don't know what to expect at one of these things. Throughout my childhood I always got made fun of... more

“Rhinoplasty - Glendora, CA”

So I've been considering getting my nose done for over two years now and i think i'm ready to finally take the plunge but still not 100% sure! i'm not sure why i started disliking my nose, i feel that the negative feelings toward my nose started about 2-3 years ago, so it has not been a lifetime feeling. i'm not sure if it changed or I've become more insecure but i now feel insecure about my... more

“Orange County Septorinoplasty -...”

I am in the process of choosing my surgeon to get a nose job on the week of May 22... I am 23 years old and have always hated my big Italian/polish nose and as soon as I graduate college in May it's gone. I live in the Orange County region and would love if the surgeon I choose can be in this area as well...so far I have only visited 1 surgeon. He is very friendly and I liked the... 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

“Perfect nose - Newport Beach, CA”

Improve breathing and overall appearance. I recently had rhino/septoplasty done by Dr. Elam and am so glad that I chose him to do the procedure. My nose looks outstanding and it fits my face perfectly. The surgery went by seamlessly and I have healed very quickly. The process and outcome both greatly exceeded my original hopes.About two months ago I had rhinoplasty done by Dr. Elam and I... more

“Almost a year post-op... still unhappy”

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. After how pleased I was with my entire experience from my breast aug at dr elam's, I decided to go through with it. I am now on day 3 post op & feel amazing! I have virtually no pain or bruising and very minimal amount of swelling. I can't wait until I get my cast off this... more

“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

“How Big/small is my Nose - Ontario, CA”

I recently had rhinoplasty and I'm starting to get really scared about my results. I just wanted my weird nose to be tweaked a little, I had a really big nose with a hump, and i didn't want a small nose, just to fix the brokenness of my original nose and a better shape. I haven't told anyone about the surgery. I'm looking in the mirror with my cast on and my nose looks really small. To a... more

“Rhinoplasty Recovery - 2 1/2 Weeks...”

The treatment so far looks good,i am 2 1/2 weeks in and it looks good. The facility i went too had good staff, but i felt the doctor himself spent too little time with me, although i really cant complain since i got the opportunities to ask him.I was wondering when i could do the following things after a rhinoplasty: 1. wear glasses (my surgeon said 10 days but i hear it takes time from other... more

“Nose Tip Feels "Woody" and Hard...”

I had my first OPEN rhinoplastic surgery on 7-24-09 and my nose tip has been woody ever since. My doctor said he did not put any plastic or anything of the sort in my nose. so why does it feel woody? and will it go away? Why does my nose tip feel "woody" and "hard" after rhinoplsty? more
