Long Island Rhinoplasty Doctors and Reviews

“Rhinoplasty: Scheduled - White...”

 I stopped at the desk and asked for Thursdays that he had free in the following month. I found a date that worked with my schedule, so I booked it! This is going to be my pre op date as well, since I didn't want to make an extra trip up there. So, I have to make a payment beforehand, so that the day of surgery everything is clear. I am also getting my blood work done, which will take... more

“Day 2 Post-Op (Septorhinoplasty 5/22/13)”

Hi! Like many others on this website, I have hated my nose since it really grew into my face, probably during middle school, and I believe around maybe age 13 is when I first wanted a rhinoplasty. I have felt since then that my nose has been holding me back from being truly confident. I'm a performer (I sing & do musical theatre) and going to school to become a teacher, and both of these... more

“Scheduled my Surgery Date...- White...”

Eve since I was a teenager I have wanted to get my nose done. It is something that I am very insecure about & am a firm believer in "do what makes you happy, it is YOUR life". I have been looking at reviews on this website for over a year now and because of all of the positive reviews, decided to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ciardullo. I had been on a few other consultations with... more

“Dr. Ciardullo - White Plains, NY”

I had my nose done by Dr. C in august of 2011. AUGUST 2ND 2011 went into the office. surgey was not bad, although it was hot and the office was rather uncomforable. after 7 days i got my cast off and my nose lay flat on my face. it has been TWO years. my nose is still as thick, unpleasant looking and flat on my face.

“Amazing! Totally Worth It! - White...”

Well I had the same views of myself as most people who have pronounced noses do. I hated my nose and I had to do something about it. I went to real self and searched and found all the great reviews that Dr.Ciardullo had, and decided to go with him as my plastic surgeon. In order to make sure that I was choosing the right doctor for the procedure I went and did my own research to see if he was... more

“Terrible Rhinoplasty - Long Island, NY”

I am writing this at least 12 years too late . I had rhinoplasty with this doctor in my mid twenties. I wish the Internet was widely used than. I went by a girlfriend who was happy with her rhino, I should have know better since i didn't love her nose, but it was better than what she had. Now I am searching for a surgeon Incan trust, which seems to be very difficult, to do a revision on the... 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

“Nevermind”

I've been wanting to get my nose fixed every since I found out it was possible. My nose is wide & the tip is bulbous, also for a couple of months now I've had red marks on the sides of my nose which led me to research surgeons. I've been covering the red marks with makeup when I go out & when I don't cover them, people just think I've been wearing glasses (even though I haven't in... more

“Cast Off- I look like a different...”

Being a first generation American, I generously (sarcasm) inherited very Eastern European features. It also didn't help that I played lots of sports when I was a kid. I'm sure I've broken my nose and a few other bones at that (my family doesn't believe in going to doctors). Personally, my nose doesn't bother me to the point where I NEED this surgery - what bothers me is that people define me... more

“Its a gamble - White Plains, NY”

I've been following this site for over a year now. To be quite honest, I can't believe I'm actually having the procedure. I can't even believe I'm here right now, talking to you and typing this review on the site. It's felt as though this opportunity would never come my way, but time and savings has made this possible. I suppose I'll go into my thoughts on having this done. I'm 26 and... more

“Michelangelo of Plastic Surgeons! -...”

I had been thinking about getting surgery for awhile but was never motivated enough because I was not someone you would pick out of a crowd that was in need of a nose job. My long time friend had her nose done by Dr. Ciardullo about 5 years ago and I always loved her nose; it was natural, fit her face, and nearly perfect! There was no doubt in my mind that if I were to ever go through with... more

“Rhinoplasty with Dr. C Scheduled Jan...”

Hello all! I just had a consultation with the famous Dr. Ciardullo and I scheduled my surgery!! The staff was really great, Bobbie knew who I was immediately when I walked in and made me feel comfortable. When I spoke with Dr. C, he told me exactly what he wanted to do with my nose before I even said anything and it was very much similar to what I had in mind. My only issue with surgery is the... more

I had my consultation with dr. ciardullo and immediately new he was the one for the job. although my surgery is a few months away i just want to be prepared for everything!! I've always hated my nose and think it takes away from my face. finally, i'm brave enough to go through with the... more

“The waiting game! - White Plains, NY”

Well I’m a 24-year-old female (going on 25 in 3 days). As the story goes I’ve wanted this since I was a teenager, however my mother was not going to let me have surgery. Years went by and it stayed in the back of my mind. I have worn glasses since I was 12 so my dorsal hump was pretty much unnoticeable. However I was very insecure especially when I started to wear contacts and when I... more

“Love love my new nose”

So my story is pretty much just like everyone else's on here.. i don't like my nose and have considered rhinoplasty for quite some time. Throughout high school and middle school I always thought my nose made me unattractive. Surgery was always on my mind but I never realistically thought that I would actually take the steps to find a surgeon and go through with it. My rhinoplasty is scheduled... more

“Can't believe its already 6 Months!!...”

I've ALWAYS had a problem with my nose. I was born with a cute, small one, but as time went on it just seemed to get bigger and bigger. I now have a huge hump, bulbous drooping tip, it's a bit crooked, and wide at the bridge (phew if that wasn't enough) I have a deviated septum. Not sure if I should blame genetics, or my dad's elbow hitting my face a few x as a child (on accident!) I've... more

“One of the Best Decisions of my Life...”

I had always been insecure of my face, feeling as thought my nose was always just a little to big for my small face and stature. After getting back from training in the Air Force last November, I just knew it was "now or never" with getting a nose job. more pics to come, as well as a more in depth reviewYup that my nose would look to refined or lol I call it " Cali Fake" was a fear of mine... more

“Totally worth it. Rhinoplasty with...”

On July 5, 2012 I had a nose job done with Dr. Ciardullo in White Plains NY. I was always completely unsatisfied with my profile especially from the side! It was long with a bump, and lacked a defined tip from the front. Since the day of the consultation Dr. C was amazing. Him and his staff made me feel so comfortable and were so nice. He first offered his opinion without asking mine and it... more

“At This Point, Jumping on the 5-star...”

To all who are interested: I have been looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon for a very long time. I have lived in many of the major cities on the East Coast, as well as in the Toronto and Chicago area. There is an abundance of surgeons in all these cities, and I was willing to have surgery in any one of these location, if I found the right person. I have literally spent the past several... more

“Rhinoplasty - White Plains, NY: New...”

Ever since I hit my teenage years I started getting teased about my nose. It was always something about my bump, or the way it doesn't fit my face. I honestly didn't notice my nose when I was 13. I had a nice straight nose in my childhood years & even until middle school. But once I began to become more aware of myself & the way I looked, other kids apparently began too as well. In 8th... more

“Desiring a New Nose! -White Plains, NY”

I was very nervous and unsure about have a rhinoplasty, as there is a fear when it comes to altering the image that you and others see as "you." I had contemplated for years about researching and finally following through. I have had several surgeries and wasn't too concerned about the pain. I was more concerned about having the typical 'plastic surgery nose.' The nose... more

I gor rhinoplasty and fat injection done by Dr. Ciardullo. He is a real expert and I am extremely happy with my result.

Dr. Ciardullo was both knowledgeable and caring from the first apt. pre-op to our last apt. post-op. I truely had peace of mind before my rhino, this doctor has been doing rhinos along with other procedures for nearly thirty years and has had alot of positive recognition in the field of cosmetic surgery in the medical industry. For myself, knowing this doctor is recognized, respected and... more

“My Rhinoplasty Venture... - White...”

Hello everyone! As of right now, I have my consultation scheduled with Dr. Ciardullo on the second of April, and I am already so extremely excited. After talking with the receptionist who was very patient with answering all of my questions, a realistic guess for surgery date is April 12th.

“So Glad I Finally Had This Done -...”

I'm so glad I finally had my rhinoplasty. I had been unhappy with my nose for years. It was way over projected, pointy, and drooped down when I smiled, and had a slight hump. I just have to say I'm so glad I went with Dr. Ciardullo, he is a true artist. He knew he could create the perfect nose for my face, and totally created the nose I was meant to have. I put my trust in him & he... more

“My Rhinoplasty Experience - White...”

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

“Rhinoplasty in White Plains, NY-...”

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

“Rhinoplasty with the Masterpiece...”

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

“No Longer Disappointed when I Look...”

Ever since I was very young (around 7) I can remember disliking the appearance of my nose from the side; specifically, the large hump that grows even larger when I smile. I grew increasingly more ambivalent towards a nose job as I got older. Sometimes I would absolutely decide to get one. Other times I would tell myself no, my future children won't look like me, I won't know who I am... more

“Talked a Good Game, Failed to...”

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

“Great Results - White Plains, NY”

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

“Scheduled for a Rhinoplasty on...”

So I'm scheduled for my surgery and pretty nervous as of right now. I broke my nose 4 years ago playing softball and as of about 2 years ago, I've been getting chronic migraines. When I went to my ENT, he told me I had a sever e deviated septum, which would explain the headaches. Also, I find it difficult to breathe out of my nose most of the time. Along with all of these issues,... more

“7 more days til my consult! Wish me...”

PRE WARNING, I haven't gotten a nose job yet, but I am looking into it and I am 100% going to do it, I just don't know when! But I will provide you all with pictures of my side profiles, so you can tell me what you think in your honest opinion. I'm not the best looking thing, eh. I'll also put some photos in there that'll look like I've had a nose job but really I just... more

“Great result!”

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

“Rhinoplasty - 7 Weeks Post Op - Long...”

All went well after surgery, or so I thought. Within the first week the bruising got really bad, now I have some brownish looking bruises that don't seem to be changing in color or going away! The skin on the bridge of my nose has stuck to the bone, causing a tight feeling when I raise my eyebrows and what looks like small dents on my nose. :( Really starting to get me down. The shape of... more

“An Amazing Experience! - White...”

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

“Incredible!!! - White Plains, NY”

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

“Too Early to Tell - White Plains, NY”

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

“What an Investment! - White Plains, NY”

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

“Great Surgeon, Great Results - White...”

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

“So Glad I Went Through with the...”

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

“All I Can Say Is....AMAZING!!!”

Just got home from getting my cast off.......and I am THRILLED. I have wanted this surgery since I was 12 ( 20 years) and only held off so long because I was afraid of the actual procedure and the recovery. It was SOOOOOO much easier and less traumatic than I thought it would be. NO pain whatsoever; just felt like I had a bad cold. I actually needed to deliberately relax, because I felt great... more
