“My Nose Changed My Life - Manhattan, NY”

I had a nose job done may 23, 2013. I told my surgeon I didn't want to alter the shape of my Nose just make my bridge slim and the tip of my Nose smaller, and remove the bump on my bridge. He did the total opposite. I now resemble a pig, my tip is so round and raised, and my bridge is so wide, my Nose looks slanted, and my left nostril looks larger and lower then my right I really would like... more

“Rhinoplasty- Nose Job - Jackson...”

He is BIG in the Latin American community because he has been featured on Sabado Gigante and seen with many other celebrities. A very confident man, during your consultation but he eventually turns out to be very incompetent. He has many photos with celebrities in his office, to make you feel as if your results will be on the level of some superstar. During the consultation he said yes to... more

“The Jury is Still Out...- Great Neck, NY”

I have dreamed of having rhinoplasty for over 25 years but never was able to - either because of money or uncertainty or shifting priorities over the years etc. I recently hit the point where I couldn't stand hating what I saw everytime I looked in the mirror or at a photo of myself anymore. My selfconciousness affected me every day and I made the decision to just go for it and make a change... more

“No Pain and All Gain - West Orange, NJ”

I first have to say that this was one of the best decisions of my life and I owe it to Dr. Joseph. I have never liked my nose since I was a teenager and always thought maybe one day I could get a nose job, but my parents could never afford it so i put thought aside. It wasn't until I started working for about a year when I realized that having the nose I wanted could become a reality. I went... more

“Amazing Results! - West Orange, NJ”

Ever since I was 8 years old my nose was the one feature I really disliked. So for years ive been doing research on rhinoplasty reading reviews and experiences on real self. Weeks before surgery I was really nervous but when the day came everything went very smoothly. When I woke up from anesthesia I was smiling ear to ear knowing that the worst was over and every day i would start to see... more

“2 months post op =)”

On April 5 I will be getting rhinoplasty. I am 25 and finally built up the courage to even face the fact that I always disliked my nose. It's only a few days away and can not wait to be content with my appearance. A few of my fears are: A.) not looking like myself anymore B.) having poor breathing as a result of the surgery C.) not being able to sing or drastic change in singing... more

“Awesome! -New York, NY”

I'm a mid 30's male. I've hated my nose for my entire adult life. I traveled to NYC to visit DR R. (not an easy thing to do if you have an anxiety disorder.) He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Pointed things out that other doctors did not and even ordered a CT scan because of a deviated septum (another doctor said my septum was "perfect.") I took a leap of faith and scheduled my... more

“Unbelievable - New York, NY”

I had my septo/rhinoplasty done March 8, 2013. His staff is AMAZING! The anesthesiologist - the best! Dr. Rizk, Dila and Midtown Surgery called me throughout the weekend to check up. I had ZERO bruising or swelling around my eyes. After surgery I took a Percocet (bad idea - it made me horribly nauseous). In the evening I took 1 500 mg Tylenol. The next day I had no pain at all and... more

“Terrible Rhino Outcome!!! - New York, NY”

Dr Joe McCarthy did my primary 25 years ago (I'm 46 yrs old now.) Was supposed to be a simple procedure of shaving down my bone b/c my only problem was a Greek hump, not severe, but it bothered me. He did shave it down (not scooped, did an ok job) BUT left me with severely uneven/asymmetric nostrils. He apologized, said that there's nothing he could do & sent me to Dr Nicholas Tabbal in... more

“Absolutely Wonderful Rhinoplasty...”

I have wanted rhinoplasty surgery since i was in 8th grade. I hated my side profile so much. I am a petite girl, but my nose was just too big and pointy. I was soo self conscious and I was always obsessing over how much I hated my nose.. I am now 21 years old and decided to finally go through with it. I was always nervous though about actually going through with it, because what if I didn't... more

“Week 2+ - West Orange, NJ”

I was in an accident two weeks ago and broke my nose and eye socket. I also had a laceration on my forehead that required 30+ stitches and is healing well. At the time of my accident I saw Dr. Peck in the ER and he had stated that my nose could possibly be snapped back into place. Once I saw him for follow up, however, he stated I would need surgery to fix the break and realign my nose. It's... more

“Bulbous Tip Rhinoplasty - Belmar, NJ”

Ever since the day I discovered a mirror I have wanted a nose job. My nose is wide at the top of the bone, thinner toward the middle and then a bulbous tip with a slight droop to the tip. I went to a couple doctors who said they would cut the cartilage out and stitch the inside of my nose and then pack the inside after surgery. S after that point I guess I felt it was normal to do that type of... more

“Excellent Rhinoplasty Experience! -...”

I have been self conscious of my nose for as long as I can remember. I have always been very aware of it and would almost always be stressing about it. I have always felt like my nose just didn't fit my face. I am petite in every sense of the word - my nose was large and looked as if it didn't belong. I decided in the summer of 2012 that I definitely wanted to have a rhinoplasty done. At first... more

“Finally Built Up the Courage! -...”

I've always had a huge bump on my nose. My tip was fine, but the bump made me very self-conscious. I never really considered plastic surgery up until I came to college and knew I had to do something about feeling so insecure about myself. I had septoplasty 3 years ago for a deviated septum, but was too chicken to do rhinoplasty. Throughout the years, I have prepared myself mentally and... more

“No Longer Ashamed of My Nose! - West...”

I am no longer ashamed of my nose and I can’t tell you what a relief it is! I remember when I would hide behind my hair or try to angle my face in such a way so that people couldn’t get a full view of my profile. But since the blessed hands of the amazing Dr. Eric Joseph have reshaped my nose I’ve been holding my head up high with no desire to hide.   more

“Exceeded My Expectations - Should...”

At around the age of 13, my nose began to take on a life of its own. What was once cute in childhood took a drastic turn for the worse with puberty. I grew a large dorsal hump and the tip began to droop, leaving me with the feeling my unfeminine feature doomed me to a future of stirring large cauldrons of potion in the back woods. As a young girl, I voiced my wish for rhinoplasty, but... more

“Amazing Results, Slightly Deviated...”

I am 29 and had put on some weight over 3 years due to which I had a double chin. Also I had a slightly deviated nose. After initial assessment the doctor recommended a medium chin implant & neck lipo for the double chin. And to correct the nose, he suggested that he could do a non-surgical Rhinoplasty as well as a surgical Rhinoplasty & pointed out the pros & the cons as... more

“Amazing Doctor, Beautiful Results,...”

After over 10 years of searching about rhinoplasty and looking through hundreds of before and after pictures I could not of picked a better doctor! Dr. Joseph made the one thing I hated about myself to now the one thing I absolutely love! I could not be more thrilled and ecstatic about my results!! I have always hated my nose, since the age of 10. My nose was too big for my face (it... more

“I Would Highly Recommend Dr. Miller...”

I had an Otoplasty and a Rhinoplasty. That was two, three months ago. The results are really natural. I think that's the best thing. No one has actually even noticed that I've had anything done which is good. It worried me at first because I had something done. But, no one has even mentioned it because they're really natural and subtle. After six days I was able to go back to work and do my... more

“Tip Refined and Better Than Ever -...”

I was so nervous to have my nose tip refined. I always had a "better side" in photos, and I am on camera as a model and actress a lot. The thing I always noticed was my nose. People always asked me, "did you get your nose done? It is so cute and perfect!" This was before I actually had it done! So I waited a long time because my personal issues with it were not the general consensus. When I... more

“Natural Rhinoplasty - West Orange, NJ”

Like many, I was concerned about the vanity of the procedure, but had considered having rhinoplasty the past 10+ years and finally seriously discussed it with my family 6 months ago only to realize my parents wouldn't take offense at the notion of a minor change in my appearance- they were in fact, extremely supportive. My level of confidence improved considerably after researching 'natural... more

“Best Decision - West Orange, NJ”

Hi everyone, My name is Emily, and I'm 23 years old. I had rhinoplasty done almost a year ago (December 19, 2011 !). Now that I am basically 1 year post op, I feel like i can really share my whole experience in hopes that it will help someone on here. As per usual, I had always been unhappy with my nose. For awhile I couldn't pinpoint what exact facial feature I disliked, but I knew... more

“Do It Now! - New York, NY”

WORTH I never thought I would be that person to have any type of plastic surgery done. However, today I can certainly say, its one of the best things I have done for myself in my adult life. PRICELESS. The ROOT and PROBLEM: I was carrying a big lot from my childhood and adolescence, that became the root of major insecurity issues all centered around my NOSE. I could not look at... more

“Rhinoplasty Last Week Nov 26 2012 -...”

I am about four days post op from my rhinoplasty/septoplasty. I have wanted to have this surgery forever but was always a little scared to do it. I finally decided to go ahead with it after I had my second child and wanted to do something purely for myself. I went for my consultation where we talked about what I would change and took some pictures which he altered with digital imaging so I... more

“Better Than I Dared to Hope For -...”

My nose had previously been injured in an accident which was quite painful as well as unattractive. So I was hesitant to undergo what I feared would be additional pain and suffering. I decided, however, to bite the bullet and just go for it. I read all the reviews I could find for a number of Drs and finally decided on Dr Joseph. The reviews I read were spot on! They really take their time... more

“Change my Life for the...”

Amazing. I had an injury to my nose when I was little and it left me with a bump on my bridge and a small scar. Dr Heller gave me the most natural looking nose with a smooth bridge, cute and feminine.. I get so many compliments on it. Before you couldn't see my face at all. It was just nose and bump. I can see a pretty face now and my confidence level has been lifted.  more

“New date and new surgeon”

I have considered a nose job since I was in middle school! I never thought I would be able to do it, financially. Now, I feel like I can afford it and am realizing I'm not sure if I'm emotionally ready! I have finally done in-depth research and realize the extent of the surgery. But I think when I find the right doctor I will trust him and become more at ease. I hate my nose more than... more

“Loving my New Nose! - West Orange, NJ”

I'm 28 years old and have always hated my nose. My face is long and my nose just made it seem even longer, to the point I've always hated having pictures taken of me. I never thought I'd actually go through with getting the surgery, but when I had gone to an ENT for my throat, they said my septum was really badly deviated and should get it fixed. I went online and did some major searching for... more

“Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty + Chin...”

This was something I had been considering for some time and now have no regrets post-surgery. The closest surgery date was around 1.5 months from the initial consult. Bandages came off 10 days after surgery, at which point one could reasonably go back to work. Recovery was painless, albeit uncomfortable, and did not require painkillers beyond the day of surgery. Numbness from the chin implant... more

“Dr. Joseph Restored my Confidence...”

I believe I have two lives. The one before Rhinoplasty , and the one after. As far as I can remember I always had a rather large, bulky nose; which presented me with a masculine appearance and making the rest of my facial features seem non proportional. I hated all cameras and I tried my very best to avoid taking pictures. Just when I thought my large nose couldn’t get any worse, a car... more

“Amazing Doctor That Gave Me a...”

If you are reading through all these reviews as I once was trying to find a surgeon who you can trust to give you the nose you want, I would say don’t hesitate in booking your consultation with Dr Joseph, you WILL NOT be disappointed. I fractured my nose at the age of 10, and as a result had a bump on the bridge of my nose and an indentation on the left side of my nose, which when... more

“Wonderful Experience! - West Orange, NJ”

Before getting my rhinoplasty by Dr.Joseph, I was very self conscious about my nose. I hated the way I looked. Whenever I was out in public all I thought about was how people were noticing how big my nose was. I always avoided pictures because of how unattractive I felt. My friends and family began to notice how unhappy I was with myself. One day while looking in the mirror, I decided I could... more

“My Amazing Life-changing Experience...”

~Two month post op ~ My nose has bothered me ever since I was a young girl. I am 22 now, but I have always wanted to get a rhinoplasty because of how large and bulbous my nose looked. Every single picture I've ever put up on myspace/facebook/etc was photoshopped. And what did I super edit? My nose of course! It ruined every picture I took and just made me really sad that I had to change... more

“A Life Change - West Orange, NJ”

Growing up I was always aware that I had a different nose than most of my friends, however when I turned 17 I decided it was time to change it. I met with Dr. Joseph and from the beginning he guaranteed me that if I went through with the process it would be worthwhile. Being that I am only a teenager, the thought of going into surgery scared me. I am terrified when I hear the word IV, but Dr.... more

“Results and Patient Experience Are a...”

It started with my 13 year old sharing that nose cartilage continues to grow as we age. Well, actually, my concern about my nose started much earlier than that. However, this declaration confirmed that my nose would not get better with age, in fact, might even get worse!   more

“Could Not Have Asked for a Better...”

First, a little history about why I wanted a nose job: I have always hated my nose, ever since I can remember, it had a hump and a pretty large bulb on the end. I'm an actor, and my agent brought it up to me that she didn't think my nose fit my look, and that a nose job would almost definitely make a difference in my career. Since I had already disliked my nose for my entire life, I was fully... more

“Talented Surgeon For Ethnic...”

I had an "ethnic" rhinoplasty done by Dr. Pearlman about 3 weeks ago and, although I can't see the final result so soon, I know it's going to be great. One thing: be prepared for (normal) tip swelling that lasts a while, especially if you have thick skin. Good luck! more

“Well Worth my Wait - New York, NY”

So already it has been 1.5 months post op 9/15/12. After I got my rhinoplasty done I thought to myself; why didn't I do this before? It was so easy and the results I got were well worth the wait. Getting a nose job has increased my confidence in interacting with others face to face and has opened a new world of opportunities. As a professional dancer & entertainer I get more print... more

“Terrible Nose Job Procedure -...”

I am 100 % UNSATISFIED with my nose. I never had a bump on my nose and after getting 2 nose jobs done by Dr. Francis I suddenly have a bump in the middle of the nose. Looking at before and after pictures I saw minor differences. Going through a second surgery, did not change my nose from the first one. more

“Great Talent & Awesome Staff! - New...”

I chose to have my procedure with Dr. S within a two week break between school and relied on Dr. S to essentially give me the nose I wanted with as minimal downtime as possible. On August the 14th I received a rhinoplasty procedure where fat was grafted from my bulbous tip and an implant (created by Dr. S) was inserted to raise my bridge. it is now literally a little over a week and I am... more

“No More Bump! - Edison, NJ”

I had my surgery with Dr. Miller on August 16, 2012. I went to see Dr. Miller twice before scheduling my surgery date. I have always had a small bump on my nose that bothered me since I was little, so when I needed to have sinus surgery, I deciced to get the cosmetic portion done as well. I would say this has been the best decision of my life BY FAR. Dr. Miller gave me realistic expectations... more

“Best Choice I Ever Made - New York, NY”

I am still recovering, but the change was notice in three days and I still had the cast over my nose. I have a little more confidence in my looks.. Just waiting for the entire swelling to go down and really see what it is going to be. I now look at people eye to eye, as before I looked down and away from people during conversation. I only wished I did this a long time ago. more

“Ethnic Septorhinoplasty (Masterfully...”

I don't remember when, because I've taken quite a few blows to the nose over the years, but I had acquired a deviated septum. Allergy season, winter, and running (which I do often), were times where my breathing was labored and uncomfortable. Visually it was asymmetrical, bulbous, and had appeared flattened (profile view). Day of the surgery I wasn't nervous at all. I knew something... more

“My Rhinoplasty Experience! - West...”

I'm a 21 year old college student who was completely unhappy with my nose! More specifically my profile view which had a bump and drooped down when I would smile. Every time I had to do a presentation in school I would be self conscious when my profile view faced the class and since I'm going to school to be a teacher the last thing I need is to be self conscious when standing in front a group... more

“Great Doctor, Amazing Expertise,...”

Where do I start ? I have constantly been bothered by the size and shape of my nose, which in turn caused me to have very low self esteem and not much confidence in myself. Before I got rhinoplasty I found my nose to unattractive and take away from my other facial features such as my eyes and my lips. My nose was way too long, the tip was severely over-projected, the bridge was too wide and... more

“I Now Look the Way I Believe I...”

Like most of the posts that I’ve read on this site, I’ve had a hate relationship with my nose since I was a teenager. I felt like my nose preceded me into a room. If someone happened to catch my profile in a snapshot, I would just wince. I admit that it made me extremely self conscious about my appearance. I always dreamed about having a nose job, but never went through with it mostly out... more

“Simply the Best! - West Orange, NJ”

Ever since I can remember I was always self conscious of my side profile, I always wanted to get my nose done but as a young teen did not have the financial stability to do it, so I waited and researched waiting for the day I could finally fix my nose. FINALLY the day had come! Prior to seeing (and choosing Dr.Joseph) I visited four other doctors in the area near me and none were up to par... more

“Rhinoplasty Went Great - Manhattan, NY”

 We did some digital imagery to see how the rhinoplasty procedure would look after. I went through it, and honestly, it wasn't painful at all. If anything, the first two nights after the surgery are the most uncomfortable and every single day after that was pretty relaxed. It's been 21 days since my surgery, and I look completely fine. My nose has healed tremendously. I don't have any... more

“Less than 3 days away!”

Hi everyone! I've been reading this site for a while and can finally say that I have reason to post! I have two consultations this coming week and then will make a decision on who I would like to perform my primary rhinoplasty. I have hated my nose for what feels like forever. From the front, it isn't too bad, but my profile irks me to the point that, as a performer, I hate watching... more

For years I have been very self conscious of my nose and always wanted to have surgery to correct the flaws I had of a deviated septum, bulbous tip and an unsightly bump.

Then one day as I was surfing the internet, I came across Dr. Joseph's website and after reading reviews... more

So.. I remember back in 7th grade when I was 13 my nose suddenly got waaaay too big for my face, before I was totally happy with the way I looked, never wore makeup, it was all good. In 8th grade I started trying to distract from my nose, getting bangs, wearing poorly applied makeup etc. I admit I looked pretty awful haha.

A Little Background: I have hated my nose since I was 12 and have wanted a nose job ever since I knew what a nose job was. The issue has always been money.

I wanted Rhinoplasty for several reasons. I had a deviated septum that caused breathing issues and I was unhappy with the appearance of my nose, but I was concerned about the dangers of surgery and also because I am a singer.

“Money Worth Spent! :) - West Orange, NJ”

As I got older, I noticed how asymmetric my nose was. The left side of my nose was higher than the right side and I could barely breathe through my left side as well.

Dr. Joseph had the best reviews I could find, but I still wanted to see what other... more

I never liked my side profile since I was young. I had a bump, deviated septum and my tip drooped- it just wasn't pretty on my face.

My recovery went very smooth,... more

“One of NYC Top Surgeons - New York”

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.

First of all I would like to say how much help and support I have received from the real self community. I am a 23yrs old African American female and I hate my nose.

Although, I come from a very religious family that oppose cosmetic surgery, I ultimately... 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.

My nose was large in every way that it could be. My bridge was pronounced and I had a wide bulbous tip.

“Rhinoplasty - West Orange, NJ”

After waiting 30+ years to change the appearance of my facial profile, I finally had the courage to undergo a rhinoplasty.

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

“Amazing nose surgeon - Dallas, TX”

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.

“Great Doc! - New York, NY”

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.

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

“Questions Best Asked Before Your...”

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 Have a Beautiful Profile and Face...”

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 look just like me before my injury, and even better. My eyes look... 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.

To say that My results were better than anticipated would be putting it lightly. Amazing!... more

“LOVE It! No Pain! - New Jersey”

Well firstly, 7500 was out of pocket, the rest was covered by insurance and my surgeon also took care of my lucrative 2600 deductible. Anyway, I'm a 21 year old girl who was very indecisive about getting this surgery and finally just went forward with it. Best decision ever! Pros: Outcome came out better than both my surgeon & I expected! Very minimal pain, doctor doesn't use... more

“Thrilled W/ Rhinoplasty Result”

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 can’t stop staring at my profile in the mirror. Before... more

“Really Great Experience”

Rhinoplasty, in my case, was one of the best decisions of my life. Recovery is not bad at all, considering I was more uncomfortable than in pain and it lasted for only a few days. Now that a lot of the swelling has subsided, my nose looks amazing! It was totally worth it. I had a large hump on my nose as well as a really droopy tip; I felt it was a huge eyesore that took all the focus away... more
