“Does This Nose Look Still...”

HI all... Had my primary in JUNE 2012....Not very pleased with result. Please, let me know if my nose looks ski sloped and over projected at the tip...? if i was under your care what would you do to help me....this is by far NOT my ideal looking nose. I am hoping for a revision as soon as my 12 months is up. THANK YOU. more

“A Valentines Day Nose! - San...”

Just had consult 2 and scheduled for Feb 14th. Doc is a well known facial plastic surgeon and has done over 2,500 noses so I am confident in his results. Saw him 7 years ago for a consult and chickened out so excited to go through with it this time. I'm going for a very natural look and certainly don't want a cute tiny, sloped nose. I want it a bit thinner from bridge to tip and have it... more

“Disappointment - Northern CA”

I will try to update with pics as soon as possible but right now it is hard for me to take one without crying. I had my procedure a few weeks ago with a double board certified ENT/ Facial cosmetic surgeon. I decided on him after meeting with two other cosmetic surgeons. I had an open septoplasty/ turbinate reduction/ rhinoplasty with cartilage graft. My nose had been broken once before. My... more

“Still Undecided... - Bay Area, CA”

It probably comes as no surprise that I have hated my nose for a long time. It was perfectly fine until I was about 12 or 13 and then it just got horrible. Plastic surgery was never an option because I couldn't afford it so I just lived with my nose and have been self conscious about it every day for the last 14 years. Things are different now. A few weeks ago it occurred to me that... more

“Simply the BEST - San Francisco, CA”

I underwent rhinoplasty surgery in January 2012, eight months before my wedding day. I wanted to improve my profile but not drastically change my overall appearance. Dr. Kim did a beautiful job - the change was subtle but noticeable in a very good way; and I couldn't be happier with the result. I'll never forget when I came into the office one week after the procedure for the "big reveal". I... more

“You Don't Live in a House 40 Years...”

So I'm scheduled for surgery in the morning!! November 5! It happened pretty fast. I've been looking at this site for two years and I started having consultations this year just to see what they would say. I found one doctor that I liked without any real decision in mind. But after communicating with the staff for a couple of months, they offered me a discount to take a late cancellation they... more

“Be Aware - Bay Area, CA”

I paid a top-surgeon price to Dr. Mehta, and got a lot of problems. He is very kind, and listens to you, and answers your questions, which is why I went with him. BUT, my open nose surgery was a mess. He didn't know who the anesthesiologists, even though he told me beforehand that he did. And the anesthesiologist guy showed up the surgery 3 hours late. I should have just walked away at... more

“Great Doctor, Great Result - San...”

I spent a lot of time and money researching Facial Plastic Surgeon's before deciding to go ahead with my rhinoplasty. A few minutes into the consultation I knew Dr Kim would perform my surgery. He instantly made me feel at ease and answered all my questions. One of the most impressive things about my consultation with Dr Kim was the 3D pictures he was able to manipulate to show what my nose... more

“This is really happening! - Walnut...”

For over 15 years I have been thinking to to myself, what does my REAL nose look like under this big thing on my face? Not that I hate myself for having this nose, nor do I blame my father for passing it down to me. I actually like how I look and have a very blessed life. I'm sure many of you can relate, my nose just does not feel like it belongs on my face. To make matters worse, at age... more

“My Biggest Regret - Bay Area, CA”

I was always too afraid of getting a nose job because I would often see over-projected or turned up noses and I didn’t want to look like someone else. I often found myself liking the before pictures better than the after. I was happy with my looks but did not like my bulbous tip. One night I came across a website that had amazing before/after pictures and they were located in the bay... more

“Re-thinking my Doctor - San...”

I am scheduled to have surgery in may but am really starting to doubt my choice of doctor. I live in northern California, bay area, and was wondering if anybody out there had any suggestions. This is s lot to do with my health issues actually. I have a Cronic illness that you can't do much but stay positive. Sometimes a little external help can do wonders for me, new shoes, good hair, but... more

“Already loving my rhinoplasty! - San...”

I have always been extremely unhappy with my nose and have always felt it is too large and not feminine enough for my face. I have finally booked my surgery and am extremely excited. My surgeon says he is going to fix my dropping tip to make my nose perkier, remove the hump, make my nose slightly shorter and bring it closer to my face! It will be a closed rhinoplasty. I am extremely... more

“I Should've Listened to Family and...”

I'm sure my experience is quite different from others for one big reason...ulike most rhinoplasty candidates, I didn't have a 'hump' nose that needed any bone-breaking/shaving, so all I had trimmed was the tip of my nose which I believed at the time was quite bulbous. I can't say my surgeon did a bad job--he did exactly what I requested. I just wish he stopped me... more

“Listened to my Heart - San Francisco, CA”

I wanted to breathe easier and also look better! I had a great experience before,during and after the surgery. My rhinoplasty was a difficult one since we wanted to preserve the size,ethnic and masculine features, but just wanted to fix the orientation. Dr. M did an excellent job in reaching those goals. Also, he was very caring and emotionally supportive. Recovery was very fast, I was... more

“Great Experience... - San Francisco, CA”

Something I always wanted to do and was very comfortable with Dr. M's experience and past client case studies that he provided during my consultation. more

“Exactly What I Wanted, Subtle...”

Extremely simple and straight-forward. Very friendly and professionally run office & staff. Clear pricing. This was a procedure I have been determined to have done for the past 10 years, and I'm very pleased that it turned out exactly how I had envisioned - which certainly has a lot to do with the fact that I had very realistic expectations. The Dr. delivered exactly what I asked him to. more

“Uneven Nostrils After Rhinoplasty”

I had a slight curve in my nose and a protuding columnella. The rhinosplasty successfully removed the bump on my nose and shortened the columnella, but I noticed my nostrils were uneven. Although it corrected slightly as it healed, it still remains uneven.It has been almost 2 years since my rhinoplasty. One of my nostrils is shorter in length than the other nostril. Is it possible to... more

“Difficult Emotionally - Want the...”

Did not expect the emotional turmoil of the dramatic change. Not able to recognize myself and have lost sense of ethnic identity that I had. Regret doing it. more

“Hated my Nose Growing Up....”

I hated my nose growing up, specially in High School.  I hardly had any self esteem.  I was about to enter College and wanted a new start, so I went for having a nose job.  I knew my parents would be againts it, but I paid made all the arrangements and then told them I was doing this.  it turned out that they were supportive.  I went throught the operation absolutely... more
