Difficult Rhinoplasty Recovery, but Well Worth It...

Posted by

Rhinoplasty

I spent months searching around for the best ENT and a plastic surgeon. I traveled to different cities; I also interviewed two of the top surgeons in Rodeo Drive/Beverly Hills area; And finally picked Dr. M at Stanford. Dr. M is by far the best doctor for my procedure. I am very happy with my decision as he did a fabulous job. I had a rhinoplasty and septum deviation surgery. Dr. M was very professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and very caring. Unlike several of the plastic surgeons who I met, Dr. M never tried to act like a sales man; He has very high confidence about his area and takes the extra time to explain difficult questions with a lot of patience. Dr. M has assembled a highly capable medical staff/residents from top tier medical schools around the world. They all said “looking up to him as a role model” for his expertise and experience. On my first visit Dr. M was able to show me the future result of my surgery using computer graphics and even gave me options to choose from with his recommendations. Amazingly the result of the surgery is exactly as he had on the graphics and the option I picked.. I get lots of complements every day, even thought it just 30 days after my surgery, my nose is looking very natural and I can breath 100% better than before... thank you very much for the superb job Dr.M…I would strongly recommend DXr. M to anyone who is looking for a Dr. they can trust.

I'm So Glad I Found Dr. Most to Repair my Complicated Nasal Revision - Bay Area, CA

Posted by

Revision Rhinoplasty

Referred to him by another ENT who was not comfortable with doing my nasal revision. I recently had a very complicated nasal reconstructive surgery (using grafting) with Dr. Most. In fact, I pride myself as being probably one of his most difficult cases as my surgery with him was a revision of a revision from past surgeries with another. No easy task for a surgeon to take on unless you are the best. He is! In fact, prior to my meeting Dr. Most, the last ENTs I saw in consult said he didn't feel comfortable doing any surgery on me due to its complicated nature. Instead, he referred me to Dr. Most. Hence, he is the doc that the docs refer you to. Dr. Most balances being realistic with function and aesthetics. He obviously takes pride in his work and you can see a genuine desire to improve his patient's quality of life--whether functionally or aesthetically, or both. He is gentle natured, kind, professional and a truly skilled surgeon. He is upfront regarding expectations however lends a listening ear to what most matters to the patient. He is patient and explores options with you. Also, his staff is kind and flexible and the surgical facility was on the ball--from the nurses, anesthesia, etc.... Dr. Most--if you are reading this--THANK YOU and your staff for taking such great care of me. Don't get me wrong--surgery is no fun (and it was painful) but for my final outcome I would do it all over again. I love being able to use both sides of my nose and it looks so much better. I am 1 year post op and feel great--my nose looks and works great. In fact I didn't know how bad it didn't work without my recent surgery for comparison. If you need any type of nasal procedure...I highly recommend Dr. Most and his team. He "knows the nose" and in my case has truly lived up to his reputation as being one of the best in this field!

Perfect Results - Bay Area, CA

Best experience I have ever had at a doctors office. Dr. Most does not inflate your expectations to get you as a patient. I had gone to a few other surgeons in the area, but by the first consultation I could tell that Dr Most was simply the best. He is very upfront and makes it clear to you that it is extremely rare that any doctor can make a perfect nose for ones face. But that is just what he did when he preformed my rhinoplasty. Everything he and his nurses did exceeded my expectations. He did a phenomenal job-- I highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best surgeon in the Bay Area. Thank you Dr. Most.

Highly Recommend Dr. Most - Bay Area, CA

I could not recommend Dr. Most more highly. I've seen Dr. Most regularly for the past several years to receive botox treatments to treat headaches (with the added side benefit of reducing wrinkles!). He's always been friendly, down-to-earth, easy to get in to see, and I've had great results. It may not be not the most complex procedure but when someone is injecting botox in your face it's great to have the best you can get.

Rhinoplasty Review - Stanford, CA

I recommend Dr. Most for anyone who is considering getting a Rhinoplasty. The overall service that I received by the staff and doctors working with Dr. Most was professional and top-rate. I was very satisfied with my results, and though very rare, my final results matched the before and after pictures which Dr. Most predicted at our first meeting. Dr. Most cares about the aesthetic result, as well as, the functionality of what he is operating on and expresses apprehension when he knows that what you are asking for is not practical and could do harm in the future. I appreciated his honesty and how he explained technical elements of the surgery to me, this made me very confident as a patient-in a few words,he doesn't sell an idea and he is honest with his patients. On an aesthetic perspective, I felt that Dr. Most listened to the concerns I had, worked with me to achieve a practical result, and shared the same wants of sculpting a nose that matched my facial features. I had a very natural result and I recommend Dr. Most to anyone looking for a good surgeon. He's the best!

Dr. is well named. He is Chair of Facial Plastic Surgery at Stanford. But he is more than technically competent. He refuses (I know, I argued with him) to do any procedures that will result in an undesirable outcome. In my case, I would not have been able to close my eyes at night if he had removed too much skin above my eyes. He is very approachable and accessible. He answers phone calls and emails. He explains each step and/or recommendation so the patient doesn't have unrealistic expectations or disappointing outcomes.

Rhinoplasty 2011 and Beyond: Aesthetic and functional surgery of the nose--The HYBRID rhinoplasty

The nose is the central feature of the face. Along with the eyes, it is one of the first things our gaze is drawn towards when we look at another person. While we may not realize it, the shape of the nose plays an important role in the unconscious process that allows us to recognize other’s faces, especially in profile. So it is perhaps not surprising that surgery to change the shape of the nose is one of the oldest procedures in facial plastic surgery, with the...

The Facial Rejuvenation Revolution - Sam P. Most, M.D.

In the past few years we have seen a significant evolution in thinking about facial rejuvenation. In this space I hope to shed some light on this, and what this means when you visit the doctor’s office. In the past, facial aging has been thought of as primarily a battle lost to the effects of gravity. We understand now, however, that the process of aging is a complex one, and involves more than simply sagging of the skin on the face. Recent research has shown that the changes that occur...
