Dr. Rosenblatt is a phenomenal surgeon. Words can not express how happy I am with the final result from this surgery. The best part is how natural looking my nose appears. Dr. Rosenblatt is highly experienced and confident which put me at ease when I wasn't sure what to expect. The procedure it's self is fairly easy. I wasn't in any kind of pain. My recovery went very smooth,... more

The results of my rhinoplasty were more than what I could have imagined. The alterations that I had during my procedure were taking down a hump on the top of my nose, revision of the tip, and minimizing my nostals. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of my surgery or choice of surgeons. The nose I have now looks like the one I should have been born with. The results are so... more

I had rhinoplasty surgery done by Dr. Ciardullo 5 weeks ago and I could not be happier. Since as far back as I could remember I have had issues with my nose and growing up I never had enough confidence to consider myself very pretty because of it. I always thought my nose was just too wide for my face, and when I smiled the tip would droop down. I absolutely despised having my picture... more

Ever since I was younger, I've always hated the bump on my nose. It wasn't until recently that I started to take it seriously and want to get it fixed. I saved up some money and scheduled a surgery date with another surgeon. As the weeks went on, I felt it didn't feel right, I cancelled it and moved on. After reading all these reviews on Dr. Ciardullo, I decided to make the drive... more

I broke my nose in a car accident about three years ago. The break made my nose crooked and accentuated a bump on the bridge of my nose. According to my mom, I looked like, “a prize fighter.” I knew from the minute I broke my nose that I wanted plastic surgery to get it fixed. But, it took me two years from the day of the accident to finally have the surgery because I was so scared... more

Let me start off by saying that I am 33 and have lupus so this surgery was a concern for me because my healing time is doubled because my immune system is out of wak. I've wanted surgery since I was 15 but decided go give myself a chance to grow and like my nose. An adult now and well here I am. I don't think my nose was ugly I just felt like it didnt fit my face, and felt I couldnt... more

Function, aesthethics Dr. Devita made my nose smaller but did not improve my breathing which was half the reason for surgery and also what my insurance company had paid for. Breathing out of the left nostril was slightly better and the right was worse than before. There were many more problems, though. My nose came out crooked, the bone was pushed in too far on one side and out too far... more

Dr Eric Joseph completely transformed my nose to the perfect nose I always envisioned having through many years of my life. All previous reviews that I read online led me to meet and trust in Dr. Joseph and I am thankful that those reviews existed; so I feel more than happy to leave one of my own for those considering surgery of any kind to improve their overall appearance. The entire... more

First, I need to thank all people that shared their experience on this website -- it was so helpful to me. I would like to share my experience hoping that I will provide some useful information as well. The reason why I opted for rhinoplasty is that I never liked my nose even though it does not have an egregious flaw. It just never felt right for my face: a small dorsal hump, a bit long,... more

My nose was large in every way that it could be. My bridge was pronounced and I had a wide bulbous tip. My doctor reduced the brige, extracted fat from the tip, and performed an alar base reduction which is not "standard" in rhinoplasty procedure. I was otherwise happy with my other facial features and overall appearance. My nose was the only thing I was "conscious" of so I... more

I did this procedure strictly to correct my broken nose and help my horrible breathing. I was able to accurately gauge my recovery time. I typically am a bruiser but did not bruise at all. I was able to go back to work quickly and my breathing has drastically changed. I never realized how bad my septum was "deviated" but I am literally so happy I went through with this procedure... more

Hi All! After having read all your reviews and chosen Dr. Ciardullo thanks to some of you, I am here to return the favour and enlighten others. I have always wanted to get rid of my horrible sicilian nose. Big, potato tip, large, name a defect: it had everything. Finally I decided to use my money for an investment on my own face and what a result! Not only Dr. Ciardullo knows exactly what... more

I had my procedure done last thursday and It's honestly the best thing I've done for myself. My whole life I had serious self esteem issues because of my nose and I finally decided to get the courage and do something about it. Overall it's been a rollercoaster ride of emotions from excitment to fear to even dissapointment but now I love what I see in the mirror. I'm... more

I'm scheduled for surgery on Sept 22nd and am nervous (mostly about the swelling) but I think more anxious than anything. I initially was going to go see Dr. Rizk in NYC but after finding out how much his treatment cost, I decided to keep looking for the right doctor. I liked his work but I felt that 15-18k for Rhinoplasty seems excessive. Thank goodness I found this site!! After reading... more

I am 24 years old and since I was about 12 I absolutely hated my nose. I avoided smiling because my profile was so ugly! I looked like a witch! After many years of contemplating and hating my nose I finally made the decision to have my nose fixed! I researched many doctors and after reading reviews of Dr. Ciardullo on this website I traveled the 5 hours to meet him. After meeting him I put my... more

(Note that the cost was for the septorhino alone, and not the chin implant.) I've been self-conscious of my profile since...jeez, probably since puberty. After years of waiting and debating, I finally decided to go through with the surgery. I like to think I went in with realistic expectations -- I never wanted perfection, just a more balanced profile with a less obtrusive nose... more

I have never been happy with the appearance of my nose. I had always felt it was a bit too big for my face, and I broke it when I was younger, leave a slight bump. When I smiled, the tip went further down than I liked, and at certain angles my nose just looked big. I have spent years being self-conscious in front of the camera; always deleting photos of myself where my nose looked bad and... more

I had surgery done on the July 19th 2011 with Dr. Sam Rizk because I suffered from puffy bags under my eyes which always made me look tired and older (not a good look for a 23 year old)and had a open rhinoplasty to remove the hump off my nose, slightly lift the tip, and narrow the tip of my nose since its very bulbous. But coming out of surgery idk how I feel about it yet I feel like my... more

Based on research and reviews that I saw here on realself, I decided to have my Rhinoplasty with Dr. C. I had been wanting to have my nose fixed since my early teens. It was cute and small when I was a kid, but by the time I reached about the age of twelve and started to grow into myself my nose also grew, a bit more than I would've liked. My former nose had a wide bridge, big... more

I was genetically blessed with a very Jewish/Mediterranean nose, and flat cheekbones. My nose projected too much from my face, was slightly crooked, and had a dorsal hump. Ever since my nose developed, I was always very self-conscious about it, and I felt like it was all people saw when they looked at my face. This was not how I wanted to stand out, and I dreaded any photos that showed me in... more

I found Dr. J after years of doing research on rhinoplasty and permanent filler injections. I hadn't been happy with my nose from the time of adolescence. However, I am not wealthy and although make a middle class living the idea of rhinoplasty seemed beyond the scope of what was possible for me. I came to Dr. J because he was literally the ONLY doctor I could find that does permanent... more

This has been one of the easiest surgical process that I have done. the doctor wss very personable and I felt he took his time and energy to give the best results possible. He made me very comfortable during the process and was very patient and accesible from the begining until my follow up visits. I would definitely reccomend thidoctor to any candidate that is intereted in rhinoplasty surgery more

My experience was great. My doctor had a great bedside manner and always made me feel comfortable. His staff was very nice as well. No pain at all. Overall, great experience. more

The result of my operation is a change to the appearance of my nose that is subtle but also noticeably attractive and natural looking. My nose appeared to grow directly from my forehead. That missing indentation is now there. The small bump in the bridge is gone, and the tip has been made smaller and fits my face nicely. The procedure and post-op for me were painless with the only slight... more

I used Dr. G for rhinoplasty, fat transfer & short scar lift. I am very pleased with the results!  more

After waiting 30+ years to change the appearance of my facial profile, I finally had the courage to undergo a rhinoplasty. I never had any type of surgical procedure perfomed before (not even a minor one) and I had never been placed under general anesthesia. Need-less-to-say I had a lot of concerns. I performed many internet searches to find a well qualified surgeon; having dual board... more

I had breathing problems and hated the way my nose looked. I felt it didn't fit my face and he was awesome at helpful suggestions and told me what would help improve my breathing and what he would do to help my nose fit my face better. more

Had been self conscious about nose since puberty. Saved for years to have procedure. Realized once I had the money, I didn't search around for docs. I should have looked at the nose jobs on his website and I could have seen that he does NOT do a good job. more

My nose had a bump on the bridge and a rounded drooping tip. The results of my rhinoplasty surgery were virtually identicle to the picture we imaged together prior to surgery. He gave me the nose my face should have had: the result is incredibly naturaland beautiful. It was one of the best decisions i have made in my life and I recommend Dr. J to EVERYONE considering rhinoplasty or any... more

I got Rhinoplasty done 4 weeks ago and Im really unhappy with the results. I wanted my nostrils taken in and projection because my nose was flat. Now I have a short, upturned nose thats just ugly. What can I do to fix my nose, my nose wasn't even near the shape it is now. I depressed, want go outside, missing work and ignore my friends. Its taking a toll on me. more

I am from New York, a city where seeing a doctor closely resembles speed dating these days. Over the years I’ve broken my nose several times and had repeated surgeries in hopes of repairing it. Each surgery resulted in unsuccessful outcomes and left me with additional problems. After years of being unhappy, I consulted with a reputable doctor in New York, who I will call Dr. A. Dr. A... more

I wanted to improve my breathing and my facial features. more

Asymmetry, bump, concaved and uneven nostrils. more

Dr. S is a great surgeon! I had rhinoplasty done by the doctor about two years ago and came back to him recently to get some Botox treatment. I am Hispanic and it was very important for me to have a doctor who understands my facial features. With the computer imaging of my photos done in his office, I was able to actively participate in the decision-making during my treatment. The images were... more

Being Dr. W patient was the worst experience of my life. He created multiple complications which were never mentioned as possibilities prior to surgery. Due to Dr. W technique I was left with horrible scarring and a collapsed nose. After months of being reassured that everything would heal fine, nothing improved; in fact it got worse every day. Finally I went for another consultation, but... more

I had been considering this for over 5 years. My nose exhibited a noticeable hump thanks to a serious sports injury in high school and my tip drooped whether I was smiling or not. I was self conscious for long enough and did not feel as attractive as I wanted to. With a few conservative changes, Dr S changed this completely. I look just like me before my injury, and even better. My eyes look... more

My name is Bianca and on December 16th, 2010 I went to Dr. C in White Plains, New York for a septoplasty/rhinoplasty. I searched around for the right doctor, and after my consultation with Dr. C, I just knew that all the hype I had heard was completely true. I was fearless about the entire process and was nothing but excited. After hating my nose for years and having a severe deviated... more

Difficulty breathing...and looks {edited} {by Britt, moved to Dr review} more

I had my deviated septum fixed as well as minor rhinoplasty. I am not happy with the results thus far. It has been almost 5 months. I had trouble breathing before and now I still can't breathe as well as I could, which really wasn't well at all. I had no idea they were going to be removing so much of my septum that the tip would look so dramatically different. I was so upset when... more

Am extremely happy with the way my rhinoplasty procedure went as well as the results. I was even more happy with the way DR J works as a professional. From the moment I first sat down with DR J, I felt like I was family as Dr J carefully explained the procedure and how the results would look afterwards. To say that My results were better than anticipated would be putting it lightly. Amazing!... more

I decided to get a nose job because I was unhappy with the bump on my nose and wanted a smaller nose to better suit my face. I was a little worried about having a generic “nose-job” kind of nose, so I looked for someone who specialized in rhinoplasty and who had a lot of before/after pics. I am THRILLED with my results. I can’t stop staring at my profile in the mirror. Before... more

I have experienced wonderful results after getting rhinoplasty about eight months ago. My doctor was fantastic - he was honest and realistic and really cared about giving me the best possible outcome. My new nose looks natural and no one has guessed that I had work done; people just say I look great! Even though others don't realize the changes I made, I see a dramatic difference and am... more

More PAIN in my brain thinking about the Surgery then when it finally happened. One minute I'm laying on a bed the NEXT minute they are waking me up to recover. They give you great drugs to get you through the next few days which were NOT bad at all. In fact when I got home I was making calls but sounded stuffy so everyone thought I just had a cold. 8 days later the splint and magnts were... more

My nose always bothered me. I am one year post-op from my rhinoplasty and honestly, though the changes are natural and not drastic, this was the best thing i did for myself.My doctor pioneered the "un-nose job". It's very natural and not sloped or piggy, which was what my main concerns were. i brought him many pics of what i liked and he wa more

I had a rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago to correct a mild case of prolapse on the right side of my nose, which was impairing breathing. The doctor used a cartilage graft from my ear in order to "cover up" the hole.The breathing is fine now. However I am not pleased with the appearance. The swelling, it seems, has completely vanished from my face and nose, but the right side of my nose now... more

Pros: Better breathing from the septoplasty, more symmetrical and straighter nose, overall more proportioned facial features.Doctor was amazing! I had mild bruising post op and normal swelling.Cons: Limited activity post op, can't be in the sun for a while, mild acne from the cast.I recently had a rhinoplasty / septoplasty (3 weeks ago). Earlier this evening, I was p more

Helo, 7 months ago I had a nasal tip rhinoplasty performed, unfortunately I am very unhappy with the result.During initial consultation with my plastic surgeon I revealed my biggest issue to narrow the nasal tip which was rather wide and flat, I did not wish my nose tip to be elevated (this much, since I understand some elevation must be performed when narro more

I had my primary rhinoplasty done 6 days ago and today I had my cast removed and it looked great!!I strongly recommend my Dr in New York. He is honest, straightforward and extremely experienced. He only specializes in rhinoplasty and has been recognized the best plastic surgery Doctor for 7 years in a row.I had minimal bruising and very l more

The reason I had this surgery done was to thin a wide bridge. There was mild discomfort and but it is still too swollen to tell at the moment.I had rhinoplasty 12 days ago to thin a wide bridge. It looks great from the side. From the front it looks thin up close, but when you back away it looks like the nose is wide again. Almost like the skin on the sides of the upper nose is swollen. Will... more

* Pro was that I don't have the look of the broken nose I had before and the shape is a little better and I had my deviated septum fixed.* Con is it's too small for my face now and I feel like I looked much better before and it's too turned up as well. I had rhinopla more

Overall i am happy with my rhinoplasty result; except for the redness that is caused by a burst blood vessel after surgery. I'm here to seek adviceI had a Rhinoplasty four years ago but after surgery i think a blood vessels bursted and appear as tiny red spots on the surface of the skin. Can that be repaired with vascular laser therapy? more

I had a septorhinoplasty 8 days ago. He did a complete overhaul on my nose, shaved the bump, took down the fat tip at the end, shrank my nostrils, and brought the entire thing down so you couldn't see into my nose from straight onlook.My issue has nothing to do with the apperance, but the (artificial) grafts used to do the job. I can feel the grafts at the tip, it's extremely hard to the... more

I had the surgery to repair my breathing. The surgery was not painful at all, and I was surprised how quickly I was able to resume my normal activities.I had a septoplasty, rhinoplasty, and turbinate reduction to repair a deviated septum I since I was was 10. Nine years later when I finally get the surgery, I can finally breathe through both nostrils (though never through both at the same... more

4 years after a rhinoplasty for tip cartridge removal only, I have significant problems breathing,consistent disfiguring facial/sinus swelling & pain,ear clicking,occasional ringing. It comes and goes with some minor improvement over time. I have always had allergies and related minor breathing problems-but nothing like this. I finally went to see an ENT who tells me the tissue inside my... more

Too soon to tell i just had the surgery done 2 weeks ago so i cant rate the experience yet but so far i m not sure. i had a broken nose repaired through an open reduction 4 wks ago. i also had my septum fixed. i m really worried cause the bridge of my nose looks a lot wider than it used to be. there is a bump on one side that feels like a bone. my ps said thats were the bo more

Recently had Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty surgery almost 2 months ago to remove a bump. Right after I had the split removed, I accidently hit my nose where the bump originally was. Now there is a bump again at the impact site and feels somewhat hard like bone.I had the surgery primarily to correct sinus issues as I have had problems breathing. The rhinoplasty was just something I wanted to do f more

I had a rhinoplasy 4 weeks ago. when the cast was removed, after 1 week, there was a necrotic area on the bridge of my nose with substantial depth. needless to say, this unexpected outcome has affected me terribly...i can't leave the house without a bandaid and im waiting for the area to heal before the damage can be truly assessed.i had always been unhappy about the size of my nose... more

I had a rhinoplasty procedure 4 weeks ago to basically refine or "tweak" my nose. The bone wasn't "broken" but there was filing on the sides and front and work done to refine the tip. I went to a well-known and respected Manhattan surgeon.My nose is still extremely swollen and I do not see any improvement since the bandages were removed. My doctor is not outwardly... more

I recently had Rhinoplasty and my nose had always had a bump that was barely visible but 6 months ago it was broken so I decided to fix it. My doctor broke my nose again and shaved the bump down.It was a good experience, and I had a great doctor that was very helpful. I had to have it done because my nose was broken and I was extremely not happy with my appearance anymore. I also had many... more

I had septoplasty & rhinoplasty procedures done 10 months ago.One part of the rhinoplasty was narrowing of the nasal tip. The tip is still as wide (actually slightly wider) as it was pre-op. The work done on the bridge of my nose is excellent. The tip however still does not appear much different. It is still quite hard to the touch in the front & more

The surgery went very smoothly and i was released to go home that same day. I had no bruising whatsoever- not one black and blue through out the entire recovery. I had very minimum discomfort and no pain at all. The swelling wasnt major either.I was wondering if the bump on the bridge of my nose is something that will go away (its been 7 months since the surgery). more

I had rhinoplasty done 12 days ago along with having my deviated septum fixed. I had both an ENT and a cosmetic surgeon do the surgery. My septum was actually collapsed and needed to be reattached in my right nostril. My nose started out as a hook nose and I wanted cosmetic surgery to fix the hook/bump.I did not have any sort of bump in between my eyebrows, however, now, after the surgery,... more

I had rhinoplasty 10 months ago and the DR released the depressor muscle, so that my tip didn’t drop when I smile. The problem is that my nasolabial angle changed, before I had more curvature on the area where columella connects with the upper lip and more upper tooth exposure when my lips were at rest, and now that area (that was curved before) is straight, little longer and I have less... more

I've always been dissatisfied with my nose due to a bulbous tip, and as a result I had, according to my surgeon, a fairly complicated rhinoplasty procedure. Immediately after the cast came off, I was very happy with the results.I'm 20 years old and two weeks after the surgery, I drank a fairly excessive amount of alcohol and exercised mildly for two days. Two days after those activities, my... more

My nose looks the same as before, 2 weeks later. I was happy with the shape and size when I first saw my face after the operation, but since the splint has been removed my nose has gone back to the old size.Was what I saw in the first hour after surgery the "true" size? If so, I am happy. I am just miserable to think I wasted all that money and will have to resize my tip again. more

No pain, easy experience. However I wish the doctor spent a little more time talking to me about the procedure, and listened to my concerns.How long will this swelling last and when should I really consider a revision? more

Immediately after surgery I had alot of swelling which subsided considerably over the next week. At two week mark, after cast removed, I have a slight up turn at tip and tip swelling.I had rhinoplasty about two weeks ago and of course the tip is the most swollen. Can ice be used gently on the tip to reduce swelling and if so how long can I use it post operatively? Indefinitely? Thank you!! more

I did it because my first rhinoplasty was terrible. I was left with a deformed, asymetric nose. The bridge was too long and caused the nose to droop down. I had my original rhinoplasty because I was always very self conscious about my nose. Kids can be so cruel.3 weeks after my rhinoplasty I was driving in the car. A car cut me off and I got heated, smacked my arm into the side of the... more

To fix a crooked nose that bothered me for years. I broke my nose 3 times over the past 8 years playing sports. And to improve breathing.I am 11 days post op. As soon as the cast was removed from my nose i noticed a bump on the nasal bone. Will nasel exercises help remove this bump? more

I had open rhinoplaty 4 wks ago and so far have poor results. I had a dorsal bump and a drooping nasal tip. Post op my dorsal hump is still there and my tip has been raised very high.My concerns are that the columella is so full and the strut graft appears to be attached too low inferiorly. I also have a crease above my upper lip when I try to smile (because the skin where the strut is is so... more

I did not like the appearance of my old nose. I'm very happy with the results. The healing process was not too bad, although there was alot of bruising at first.I by accidently pulled out a large clump of dried blood with dissolvable sutures while I was cleaning my nose 9-10 days after rhinoplasty. Did I damage the results? I'm really concerned. I feel that this may affect the appearance of... more

I did my nose for modeling and acting! Also, it was something i had always wanted to fix! I was satisfied with my job but i wish there was more done! I did say I wanted it to look natural, which was successful but now I want to look a bit more drastic!How can I get the best African American doctor who understands exactly what I want? more

I had Rhinoplasty 11 months ago in NY to correct bump on nose and to refine the tip of the nose. It was a succesful surgery with minimal recovery time.As the swelling at the tip went down I started to notice a pea size bump on the right side at the fleshy part of the tip. Is that normal healing? What can be done if it doesn't go away? more

Nose was too big....week after surgery was hell....loved nose when it came out of cast....swelled a few hours later and never went down till this day(2 months later)Its been 2 months since my rhinoplasty surgery and my nose is still very swollen. Not only that the more swollen and deformed my nose looks the more deformed my face structure gets. When the sides of my nose flattens my whole face... more

I did it to take the hump out of the bridge of my nose, and fix my deviated septum. I wanted to have more confidence in how I looked and the only thing holding me back was the shape of my nose.I had the hump removed from my nose. Almost 2 weeks after my surgery there is still a bit of a bump where it used to be. My doctor mentioned that it will take a little time to go down. How long should it... more

Thanks to my Doctor, I look like a I have an old witch nose, which makes my face look like I always got a mean look. The tip is too thick, and one side pops out more than the other. There is a huge bump on the right side which makes my nose from the right look even thicker than it is.He said my nose looks great and NATURAL and that I don’t need a revision, he denied me one although... more

I broke my nose twice and decided to get it fixed because I'm getting married on July 26th. My surgery was on March 11th and every week that goes by I am happy that I went through with it. I still have swelling especially at the tip but my nose looks great. I am much more confident now and can't wait to see the end result. My friends, fiance and most importantly myself..love my new nose.... more

Dr. took the time to fully explain the procedure. He also has excellent communication skills. I was confident going into my procedure, I felt like he wasn't going to promise an unrealistic outcome. I also believe he is very current with his techniques and research - very involved in the medical industry. more

I had a septoplasty and a rhinoplasty performed by {Edited: Provider information appears above the review for registered users} and I can honestly say that I could not have had a more positive experience. I have had a septoplasty done before by a Dr. in MN, and had a really negative surgery, so much so that I had to have it again! The staff was so gracious and helpful, and I always felt... more

It was more uncomfortable than painful, but I looked like a truck had run over me. People looked at me and said I must have been in a lot of pain. The most uncomfortable part was not being able to breathe through my nose, having to have my head looking up all the time, and not being able to go out anywhere. This is a procedure that you have to think a million times before doing it and really... more

This was a long time ago - 20 years, I am sure the doctor is dead by now.    I did it because mu nose was a little too wide for my face and the tip dipped down when I smiled, two things my uncle was kind enough to point out to me at age 16. What did we (my mom helped me) do right?  We went to the best doc in town, touted to have worked on Cher.  Did he really? ... more

The cons definitely outweigh the pros and the sooner you can get this done, the better, since you will have it forever. It is expensive and worth going to the best doctor you can go to. The downsides, besides costs, are a bruised face and black eyes and you can't really go out in public for a few weeks and it'll be a couple of months before your nose really sets into the shape it will be, ... more

I have always wanted rhinoplasty and finally decided to go for it. I went to a couple of doctors for consultations and decided to go with the one that had great reviews and seemed to be very open and honest. Each surgeon I saw indicated that I have a "difficult" nose to fix, and that I wouldn't have a perfect nose. So I knew going in that my nose would be much narrower but wouldn't... more

Horrible! This doctor did not do a god job on my nose. It was a bit to thick, a bit too tick nostrils. He ruined my nose completely. I wish I had my old nose !!!! 1st surgery he made my nose thinner,but from the side it looked so big, i looked like an old mean witch. Then we decoded to redo it to correct the side view, and he completely ruined it, making it asymmetrical and crooked. more
