Dr. Khosh performed a revision rhinoplasty for me recently and I am over the moon happy with my result! I am so grateful for him because he not only gave me back all the characteristics of my birth nose, he brought back my confidence. I had broken my nose 2 years ago and needed a minor fix/reset. I went to a different surgeon for a primary rhinoplasty and was distraught that they left me with a very scooped out bridge, overly upturned tip, and breathing issues that I never had. I was so upset because I felt like I lost my identity and it completely changed my face. I began to search for a different surgeon that could hopefully help bring back what I had lost. I consulted with 6 different surgeons but the day I met Dr. Khosh, I knew he was the one for me. He had the confidence and experience to restore my nose to its natural beauty and function. I knew this because of his results from other patients, artistry, and his thorough analysis in our consultations. It was a challenge to find trust in someone to fix this because revision rhinoplasties are very complex and require specific skills sets. That is one of the many attributes that sets Dr. Khosh apart from other surgeons. He does not do a cookie cutter approach; he has an immense amount of techniques that he has mastered over years of experience with the highest honors to help any issue. My experience at his office was amazing- Judy, Adina, and the whole staff were so helpful and warm. Dr. Khosh met with me multiple times throughout the year because I had so many questions which he patiently answered thoroughly. He encouraged communication to understand what my goals were. I was never rushed in any of our meetings and because he has an artistic background, he was able to explain exactly how he would get me back as close as possible to my birth nose. His work is not only natural, it is so personalized, making his patients get results that are beautiful and unique to them. All of the other surgeons I met with explained that it was impossible to get the specific characteristics that I wanted back in my nose, but Dr. Khosh proved them wrong and did it! (...and did it BEAUTIFULLY.) He walked me through every detail of the surgical plan which was to take cartilage from my ear to build up my bridge and reposition a graft in my tip to lower it to its original rotation. He even had back up plans if something came up during surgery! He set realistic expectations of results and recovery which I very much appreciated. The surgery itself went so smoothly. Dr. Khosh eased my anxieties and I knew Dr. Khosh was prepared to do his absolute best for me. He truly cares about his patients and wants to achieve their goals just as much as they do! He was in constant communication with me before and after the surgery. My recovery was not bad at all- I had minor soreness, some bruising, and swelling. I only needed to take tylenol to manage the pain. A week after my surgery, Dr. Khosh carefully took my cast off and when I looked in the mirror I burst into tears of joy. I recognized myself again and my nose looks almost identical to my birth nose! I also can breathe perfectly! I am still in disbelief of what he accomplished yet not surprised because he is the best doctor I have ever met. My friends and family were shocked that I looked like my original self again! He did what others said was impossible. Dr. Khosh is a kind, humble, and caring person who holds his professionalism to the highest level. I look like my family again, I look like me again, and I feel like the best version of myself because of Dr. Khosh. He truly changed my life and if it was possible to give him 10000000/10 stars I would. I couldn’t recommend him enough for anything face/neck related-cosmetic or reconstructive. Thank you Dr. Khosh!
I had corrective liquid rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Khosh to fix a terrible nose job I had 7 years ago. I was so insecure about my nose, it was the only thing I could think about when I looked at pictures or in the mirror. Dr. Khosh completely fixed my nose in 20 mins. No anesthesia, nothing invasive. I have a completely new nose and I’m so happy. I will eventually get it fixed surgically and I will not go to anyone else to get it done. Thank you, Dr. Khosh!!!!
Dr. Khosh is the absolute best! I am 5 months post-op for rhinoplasty and I can’t say enough good things about the experience overall. My nose looks amazing, still fits my face perfectly, and is a big enough change that I am thrilled, but not so big that it’s noticeable. As an example, a few friends who I’ve known for years but didn’t tell about my surgery have commented on how great I look, have asked if I did something different with my hair etc. Unless I’ve told them, nobody has noticed that my nose specifically is different, but they have noticed that I look great, which is exactly what I was going for. I’m in my mid 30s and have never liked my nose, and finally decided to look into changing it a little over a year ago. I went into my consult with Dr. Khosh very on the fence because I was terrified about coming out not looking like myself, or with a nose that I liked less than what I was born with. I had gone to one other consult prior to meeting Dr. Khosh and the doctor had left me feeling very uneasy about having surgery, telling me that my surgery would be difficult, I’d likely end up with extensive scar tissue, and stressing that there was no way of knowing exactly how it would turn out. Dr. Khosh has a demeanor that instills confidence. He is obviously very knowledgeable, skilled, and experienced. He listened to what I was looking for and made sure he understood my fears and concerns. He assured me that he had done numerous surgeries like mine and my nose would come out very close to the digital edit that he did. He also explained exactly how he would do the surgery, which I really liked. Everything went very smoothly. Pre-op was a breeze, and all of the information on what to do after my surgery was super clear. The surgery center is really nice and the staff were kind and reassuring. Recovery wasn’t so bad – Dr. Khosh gave me a call the night of my surgery to check in, and was quick in responding to questions by email or text the following few weeks. Dr. Khosh told me I’d hate my nose for the first two months (which was very smart, setting realistic expectations!) but I honestly started liking it around the end of the first month. It’s just gotten better and better since then. My nose went from being something that I had negative thoughts about constantly to being a non-issue. Dr. Khosh is truly an artist and I am so much more confident in my appearance. This experience has literally been life changing and I wish I had done it sooner. If you are considering a rhinoplasty, I highly recommend Dr. Khosh.
Dr. Maurice M. Khosh, MD, FACS As we are searching and struggling with the human condition, I find it truly inspiring to meet a fellow human being who is above all concerned with the health and well-being of others. That was my personal experience with Dr. Khosh. Please know this type of practice is difficult to find, and when you do, so very important to acknowledge the goodwill of said person. This man is a Healer and cares about you solely as a person. My experience was beyond words. If you are in need, this man will help. Kindness and compassion are at the core of this office's foundation. Make this office your priority and alleviate all worry. A good man, an outstanding Physician, he will help you.
I came to Dr. Khosh's office for rhinoplasty, tree months pass since my surgery, and I can't be any happier; the scar is invisible, breathing is better than ever before, and it looks beautiful. Dr. Khosh is friendly, professional, and trustworthy. I will recommend him to my friends and family.
Dr. Khosh is very talented and professional. I had my rhinoplasty with him after getting referred by another surgeon and I am so happy I choose him. He was helpful in the process of guiding me with what would suit my face and still achieve what I was looking for. I had no bruises at all and one week post up I feel great with little swelling. I love my new nose!
I'm extremely pleased to select Dr khosh to do some surgery on my Left ear ! Not only i was so comfortable during surgical processing but extremely happy for the outcome ! I can't find the right word to express my appreciation and thankfulness to him and his professional and very friendly team.
If there were a million stars to rate Dr. Khosh, I would rate him a million and one stars!!! 5 stars are not enough for him. Words can't describe how happy I am with my rhinoplasty results. Dr. Khosh turned my vision nose into a reality nose. So natural, so perfect. Dr. Khosh and his team made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process (before, during and after). Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! You truly have the hands of gold!!!
I was planning to get a facelift at 60 but with COVID and the new ability to work from home, I decided now (almost 58) would be a good time. I am very happy with my mini lift results and the way I am healing. Dr. Maurice Khosh is a truly talented surgeon. Both his credentials and professionalism are top notch. My comfort level was also increased knowing Dr. Khosh had prior experience removing keloids and understood the various issues darker skin can experience. My major concerns were the tell-tale scars which are now nearly imperceptible at just under 2 months. He did an excellent job with the placement. The procedure was done in office under local anesthesia. I was relaxed and comfortable and did not feel any pain. A few suggestions if you decide to have surgery: Purchase a travel pillow. It really helps supporting your neck as you have to sleep upright the first week. Buy a bucket or floppy hat so your ears are protected and hidden when outdoors. Purchase a few bandannas as you will not be able to loop a mask behind your ear while healing. Take photos at least 3-4 times a week. It helps to look back. Seeing progress will eliminate your anxieties. I highly recommend Dr. Khosh and will post photos again at my 3-month mark. Updated on 12 Mar 2021: Just wanted to show updated photos of my scar at 8 months. Unfortunately, the right side looks good but the left scar is very raised, red and noticeable. I’ve started treatment with both Kenalog and 5 fluorouracil. Will post again in 2 months to show progression. Anyone else have a similar issue? Updated on 29 Apr 2021: Scar still very noticeable at just over 10 months. Visiting Dr. in another week and will see what additional treatment he recommends. I've already had three injections of Kenalog/5 HU. Hoping it will get better! Updated on 15 May 2021: It’s coming up on a year since my facelift surgery and I am very disappointed with my results. I now have a pixie ear, bad scarring and a distorted tragus. I naively posted my initial good review too soon and even allowed Dr. Khosh to use my photo on his website 2 months after procedure. Nothing has improved my scar. Last week Dr. Khosh told me I did not have enough skin laxity to re drape and lift ear to relieve the tension caused by his surgery. He also offered to refer me to a colleague. I asked why and related the reason I chose him was because he was experienced - what could his colleague advise? He then said “probably nothing different”. Why waste my time with a run around? It felt like he was trying to throw the problem and bad results somewhere else as he did not offer a solution. I interviewed three Board Certified Plastic Surgeons and ended up choosing Dr. Khosh because he was a Castle Connolly Top Doctor recipient who stated he had performed over 300 facelifts. My photos show trusting someone because they are highly decorated does not mean they are the best. I hope my experience helps anyone making a choice.
I went to see Dr. Khosh back in September and it was the best experience you could ask for! Actually, I was so turned off by every other surgeon I had met about cheek augmentation that if I hadn't met Dr. Khosh I would have not even gotten the procedure. He is clearly beyond an expert at his craft, and manages to both have an aesthetic eye as well as... be a surgeon! Not only that, his bedside manner is impeccable. Just a few anecdotes to illustrate: 1. One of my friends who had not seen me for a while, a few drinks in... "Wait but you look SO good now. I mean we all grew out of the teenage years and all, but your face just... your skin looks like tight, and your cheekbones are like glistening" (not exaggerating the language and I swear I was not paid to write this!) 2. When I was getting ready for the IV with the anesthesia, of course I was nervous, so I tried cracking a joke and Dr. Khosh and his team laughed along with me, and just generally made me feel so much better 3. When I had a bit of wierd swelling on my stitches, Dr. Khosh gave me his cell number for sending him pictures and questions post-surgery. Not only that, he answered my swelling questions right away! Also, Susan is wonderful. She is both caring as well as helpful - I could not have asked for a better experience all around. :-) ^ me smiling, with my new shiny cheekbones Updated on 5 Apr 2020: Requested pix - don't have any helpful before, but here are some "after" per the requests for some pictures! Trust me; cheekbones were essentially non existent before this Just let me know for any other questions, happy to help
Based on your photos, you appear to be a little young for a facelift. There is now a new minimally invasive procedure for skin tightening and fat reduction which uses radiofrequency energy to heat the tissues below the skin, resulting in fat reduction and improved laxity of the skin. The company that sells the device in the US is called Inmode and the particular device is called FaceTite. You may want to read more about it and inquire from your local plastic surgeons.
The superficial location of the swelling would render facelift or thread lifts useless in addressing this problem. I recommend treatment with injections of 5FU and dilute steroid solution.
I think that your surgeon is correct in assigning blame on your saliva glands in the area below your mandible. However, the left sided platysma band can be improved. Botox injections can soften the band. Minor surgery on the front aspect of the platysma muscle is another technique for alleviating the neck band.
Based on your description, the initial surgery with cutting of the your alar cartilages, disrupted the anatomic support of the nose. I assume the second surgeon used cartilage from your septum or ear to repair the alar cartilages. The single photo which you have attached does not demonstrate significant asymmetry, but better photos may show your concerns more clearly. In general, restoring the breathing is more challenging than improving the cosmetic appearance of the nose. I advise you to consult with two or more experienced rhinoplasty surgeons to better understand your risks and probability of a successful outcome.
It appears that you only had one rhinoplasty operation, that being 8 years ago and via a closed approach. Based on this description, I do not believe that you are at great risk for revision rhinoplasty. However, it is exceedingly important that you seek a surgeon who is experienced in revision rhinoplasty. I suspect you have thin skin and it is likely that you will require cartilage grafting and fascia or Alloderm graft. I prefer the open approach when dealing with revision rhinoplasty in patients who have complaints similar to yours.
