“Septoplasty/ Finesse Rhinoplasty.....”

I had a small bump on my dorsal hump. Although my nose was not huge and I liked how I looked from the front., I was always embarrased of my side profile. I am also looking forward to breathing better!I had my surgery on Monday April 16 Dr. Shah and the staff at Gold Coast were wonderful. They made everything so easy and explained all of my aftercare instructions to my husband and myself. The... more

“Finally Fixing This Nose - Chicago, IL”

I have never liked my nose even in junior high I begged my mom to take me to get it fixed. She always told me I'd "grow into" it. Well I've graduated college and gotten married and I don't think I've grown into it yet. Luckily I have found a PS who is going to make the corrections in late May. I'm so excited but really nervous too! I also found out I have a... more

“See ya later big nose :) - Chicago, IL”

RealSelf has helped me make my decision about booking my rhinoplasty so I thought I would share my process through rhinoplasty as well. My nose has bugged me ever since I was 11 years old. I'm constantly self-conscious of it and dislike most of my pictures. I have a hump, bulbous tip, and too much projection. My friends and family tell me I don't need the surgery but if I don't get... more

“So Far, So Good - Chicago, IL”

I remember how hard it was to find reliable information on Dr. Shah during my preliminary research, so I hope this review can help others during such a critical and uncertain time. Where do I begin? I guess I could start with why I decided to change my nose. Somewhat wide and long with a little hump, it was never my favorite part about me. So when I got the opportunity to change it in time for... more

“Some Improvement but Still Looks BIG...”

I had one rhinoplasty to fix a collapsed nostril and reduce a hump on my bridge which was covered by insurance. Ear cartilage was used and things didn't turn out well. I sought a second one--a complete reconstruction (no insurance) where rib was used. It looks better in some respects but I still think it looks huge and extra stuff was done that I didn't want done. My doc will do... more

“Quality Surgeon - Chicago, IL”

My deviated septum was bothering me and I wanted to refine my nose as all that rubbing made it look more bulbous in pictures. I'm 36 and look 36. I would rather look 32. Life gave me a break to polish myself up a little and after having two kids in the last 3 years I am doing just that. more

“Waiting for the Results - Chicago, IL”

I have hated my nose and have been so insecure about it since I was in 5th grade. I have always felt self-conscious about turning to the side because I hated my profile view especially. Even when I drive I get insecure about it! So I've been thinking about having a rhinoplasty since I was 16 years old and I'm 24 now. I finally graduated college and have a job so I decided in July 2011... more

“Trying to Decide if Its Right for Me...”

I've always hated my nose, and it's time I make a change, I think... I'm worried about cost, and that I will not like the end result. My grandmother is of Jewish decent, and for some reason, I'm not only one in my family that got "the nose". My nose has bothered me since 7th grade when I started getting teased about it. I feel it is too big for my face, and I hate... more

“Chicago Rhinoplasty Aug 9 2011”

I'm only four days post-op, but so far I am happy with what I can see under my splint! I really felt comfortable with the consult with Dr. Dayan--but like any person, I always have concerns. He is super friendly and answers all your questions. However, I have to admit I expected a little more from him on the surgery date. He showed up 45 minutes late, to the point where the assistant had... more

“Underwent Expecting Thinner, Wide...”

I am 18 years old and decided to go for the procedure 6 months ago right after I turned 18. I decided to get it done because when I smiled my nostrils looked very wide, and I thought my nose was large. I came out of the surgery with an even more bolbous looking tip and a very tight feeling around my nose and mouth area when I smile. My nose now looks very unnatural on my face and i wish every... more

“Sore Lump One Year After Surgery!”

I had a rhinoplasty just over one year ago now where I had the dorsal lump shaved down in closed surgery, a more basic procedure.After a few months when the swelling went down I noticed a lump at the right hand side of my nose that was hard to touch and this area would fluctuate with swelling. The lump starts under my eye and has appeared to have got bigger over this year. My surgeon advised I... more

“Rhino-septoplasty Success at 4...”

I wanted a rhinoplasty ever since the 4th grade when my nose began to shape to more ethnic proportions of my Italian heritage. Though I have always loved looking Italian, I never liked looking like I had a big nose. So after many years of consideration and researching tons of docs, I finally decided to go for it.I knew I also had a deviated septum and my surgeon was also an ENT. So we decided... more

“Crooked Columella and Uneven Nostrils”

I recently had rhinoplasty done (June 16th). My nose was very wide and lacked definition. As time passes, my nostrils appear to be uneven. The left nostril appears to drop/stretch lower than the right one.The columella appears to be folding over to the right. Also, the swelling has gone down tremendously, but it's like you still can see straight up my nostrils. I did not have this problem... more

“My Nose Has Turned and the Nostrils...”

I had Rhinoplasty 6 weeks ago to remove a bump on my nose and to straighten the nose out. The Surgeon said he might also reduce the size of nostrils. I think he over corrected my nose it's so short, the nostrils are two different sizes and shapes and my nose is turned to the left (b4 surgery it was turned to the right). I look like a pig after 6 weeks. It looks horrifying. I"m in tears... more
