Bethesda Rhinoplasty Doctors and Reviews

“Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty - Virginia”

I've been reading everyone else's reviews and have benefited from them so greatly, so I thought it was time to add some of my own info! I share a similar story to others-- and recently gained momentum & the courage to actually do something about it! I knew I had a deviated septum, but was surprised just how deviated it was-- that gave me the extra incentive. I also found a doctor I felt... more

“Researching in DC - Washington, DC”

Hi everyone! I found this community during my search for rhinoplasty surgeons around the area. I've always disliked my nose from the side. From the front I love it, but the profile has a bump and seems to project too far out from my face. I was hoping to get some advice from people who had or have this type of nose, what did your surgery entail / what will it entail? All advice is welcome,... more

“Exceeded Expectations. Wish I Would...”

I visited Dr. Naderi years after breaking my nose (multiple times!) during youth sports. Because of those breaks, I was constantly self-conscious about the appearance of my nose. The outcome was exactly as pictured in the imaging software and my confidence has improved dramatically. I no longer give even a second thought to the appearance of my nose, and this was my goal. My only wish is that... more

“The Best Decision I Ever Made! -...”

After 29 years of debating, I finally had the courage to have the bump on my nose removed. It turned out to be the best decision I have ever made and I wish I had it done sooner. Growing up, I've always had a bump on my nose, however I was scared that if I ever had the bump removed, the tip of my nose would change and it would be obvious that I had a nose job. I didn't know anyone who had... more

“Best Plastic Surgeon Anyone Could...”

I never considered getting any form of plastic surgery until my senior year of high school. Three months before my high school graduation, my mother asked me if there was anything I would want to change about myself physically. After a few weeks of thought, I realized that I had always wanted to fix the bump on my nose because I felt that it was distracted from the beauty of my other facial... more

“Nose Job - Fairfax, VA”

I had a deviated septum and a bump on the bridge of my nose and the tip was a little too large and out of proportion with the rest of my face. Dr. Bitar has done a beautiful job of repairing the broken septum, straightening and reducing the size of my nose. It has been a month since the surgery and my nose is still a bit swollen, but there is no pain or bruising and it looks pretty good. When... more

“Rhino May 20th-- Cast off with pics!”

I am 20, and have a rhinoplasty scheduled in May 2013. I'm a pretty private person, but seeing all of these reviews and people having the same feelings as me has helped me so much! Like most other people on here, I've hated my nose for as long as I can remember. I've been a gymnast and cheerleader most of my life and would bonk my nose all the time... there was never one definite moment where... more

“I Only Wish I Would Have Done It...”

Coming from a family of 4 sisters, we all suffered from the same hated nose passed down from generations of family members whose noses were comprised of deviated septums and large dorsal humps. It wasn’t a question of who wanted a rhinoplasty, but of who was going to “take the plunge” first. Bruising was next to nothing. Pain was nil. A week later I was back at the office for the big... more

“Rhinoplasty - Bethesda, MD”

I had a nose job with Dr. jabs, around 5 years ago. i had a pretty big nose, very rounded at the tip, and i was looking to make it smaller, more defined..DIFFERENT. I paid 8k for this procedure, and in the end was left with still a big nose, hardly defined (actually, one side is defined, while the other is not) my nose still went down low, and when i let him know how much i hated it ( yes,... more

“Extremely Positive Experience! -...”

Prior to my combined rhinoplasty/septoplasty surgery on June 21, 2012, I was extremely self conscious about my nose. My nose was bulbously, with a large bump near the tip. The shape of my nose – I felt – did not fit my face. I shied away from photographs, attempted different hairstyles to ‘alter’ the angle of my nose and practiced numerous smiles in the hopes of making my nose appear... more

“SO Worth It. Nose Job Changed My...”

My nose job changed my entire life. I had always been insecure about my appearance due to my unattractive profile. I finally decided to go ahead with the surgery in 2007. It's now five years later, and I still look in the mirror and can't believe it's really me! I finally feel like I look the way I was MEANT to look- if that makes any sense. Words cannot describe what it's like to finally feel... more

“Female African American Rhinoplasty...”

I am from the midwest area and I am traveling to Chevy Chase, MD to have a primary rhinoplasty surgery with Dr. Monte Harris. I am excited about this procedure and want to receive advice from previous rhinoplasty patients. I also want to share my experience. I am 25 years old and I have my fathers nose. I am a true daddies girl. LOL.The surgeons fee was $6500 plus $3000 for operating room and... more

“Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty Surgery,...”

I had surgery for medical and cosmetics reasons. I had a deviated septum and wanted a smaller size nose to fit my face better. It's been only three months after surgery so I can't say if it was worth it because I still haven't healed 100%. The tip of my nose is still a bit big and swollen but Dr. Chaboki says that with time it will heal and reduce in size. As for my breathing, it is so much... more

“1 year after Rhinoplasty - New...”

I'm ukranian and arab, so naturally you can imagine my nose would be a little weird. I was self conscious about my nose ever since I was a little kid, when I would get teased about it. I got teased about it all throughout middle and high school and at age 15 I decided I wanted to get it done. I researched some doctors but my mom told me to wait a few years to see how I grew. I forgot about it... more

“Finally Getting Rhinoplasty -...”

So I've decided to go ahead and get rhinoplasty surgery on my nose. I've thought about it a lot for the past 2 years and had my first consultation with a PS in the DC area. At that time I was not in a position to even think about having surgery, mainly for financial reasons. I am 25 now and as I get older I see that my nose fits my face less and less. It didn't quite bother me... more

“After 1 Year of Thinking Finally Did...”

I reaaly reccomd him to anyone who is considering a surgery.. First day was little pain and drowsy, slept well the first night (unexpected) , second day took of the... more

“Amazing Results; Speedy Recovery;...”

I had broken my nose as a child and it was never corrected properly so it was crooked and the septum deviated. It was never grotesque, but it bothered me for years every time I saw a picture of myself and my nose was crooked. Now, it is pin straight and looks natural and beautiful. I should have found Dr. Le years ago! more

“If You Feel Like You Want It, Do It....”

I did it because I wanted to feel prettier. Nobody thought I needed a nose job really because my nose wasn't too bad. So I did it. And ladies (and men) please hear from me that if you don't get too nervous, it will be as if you got out a tooth. What I did was let my body be there but not my soul. I don't care what I read, I knew this operation wasn't a big deal and it... more

“Rhinoplasty 1 Week Ago, Still Swollen”

I had Rhinoplasty done 1 week ago and I had my cast/splints/sutures removed yesterday. It really doesn't even look like anything was done -- the tip of my nose is so swollen it seems it is even bigger than before!As I was removed the scabs, I accidentally pulled at one of the dissolvable sutures inside my nose. Another thing that I noticed was there is a slight bump at the very top of the bri more

“Most Painful Ordeal Ever, but...”

Pros: Self confidence boost, NORMAL breathing.Cons: PAIN, swelling, depression, and feeling drugged.I had the whole nine done septorhinoplasty, turbinates broken; OPEN....which I personally think is one of the reasons I was in so much pain.I decided to go through the surgery because I broke my nose again (first time when I was a child so I had been breathing awkwardly ever since) more

“The Outline of the Implant in my...”

My rhinoplasty was a quick procedure to build up the bridge of my nose, as I was unhappy with how flat my nose looked. I was also hoping to lessen the appearance of my epicanthal folds and hopefully be able to wear glasses without having them rest on my face!It was pretty uncomfortable, but completely painless. Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to read my question! I had a... more

“Septorhinoplasty - Narrower...”

I had a rhinplasty & septoplasty performed two months ago. For the rhinoplasty, I had my nostrils narrowed slightly, bridge slightly straightened, but most of the work down to make the tip smaller.The reasons I did it were to reduce the size of the tip, mainly, though the septoplasty was done to improve my breathing. (The septo was a bonus really)While my profile didn't look terrible, the... more

“Rhinoplasty Success =)”

I was 19 years old when I went under the knife for my rhinoplasty and deviated septum correction. For seven days I had to wear a plastic bandage over my nose. Honestly, that was the worst part of the entire procedure and the fact that no one knows how dry the human mouth can get until they have this procedure =). Breathing through my mouth was really not as bad as it sounded before I had to... more
