He said my nose was in the worst shape than any other nose he has ever worked on. I had a deviated septum, very narrow nasal passages, damage from drug use (he was not judgmental at all) and a bump that always annoyed me.

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

“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

“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

“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

“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!

“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.

“Loving my new nose- Newport Beach, CA”

I have considered doing my nose since I was a teenager. I never liked the pointy, wide nose look of my nose. I want my nose to fit my face. I had my pre-op today!

Any pointers of encouragement will help? and if... more

“Amazing Experience with Rhinoplasty...”

I've always hated my nose and after both of my sisters and my cousin got it done I finally decided to go through with it with Dr. Elam. I felt as though my nose was too wide in the front and my side profile was a disaster. It had a hump and my tip was boxy and droopy. Both of my parents are middle eastern which is where I got it from. I am currently 3 days post op and can't wait to get my cast... more

“Rhinoplasty/septoplasty/sinus...”

I originally saw my ENT for sinus issues. After an X-ray of my sinuses we noticed I had a complete blockage on one side and a very deviated septum to boot. While in his office he suggested that I should have the bump on my nose done too. Personally I don't think I'd get my nose done just to have it reshaped. I've lived with this nose for 44 years and the shape of it never really bothered me... 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.

“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

“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.

I was always self-conscious about my nose. I had a huge middle eastern nose with a big hump which was very unattractive and my nose went down in the tip. I was always worried that people did stare on my nose--that's how bad it was. I felt beautiful and people would tell me that but the nose was out of harmony with my face. I was thinking about doing my nose for a very long time. Now my nose... more

“I Highly Recommend Dr. Bandy if...”

I broke my nose twice and I've had 2 reconstructive surgeries with 2 other doctors. I didn't receive the results I wanted with the previous dr.'s and I felt that they both did what the wanted and didn't listen to my opinions. When I came to Dr. Bandy I was so self-concious about my crooked and unpretty nose and hesitant to have another surgery. When I spoke with Dr. Bandy she made me feel so... more

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 ended up with a retracted columella because my cartilages were... 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.

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 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.

However, I could not be more happy with my decision to go forward with the procedure, and mostly my choice of doctor... more

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.

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 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.
