Jenkintown Rhinoplasty Doctors and Reviews

“Very Pleased With The Results! -...”

I had been wanting rhinoplasty for many years, for both aesthetic and health reasons. Two months after my consultation, I had my rhinoplasty (January 2013). Dr. Pontell refined my tip through open rhinoplasty and took the bump out of my nose. He also fixed my deviated septum. Although the first few days after surgery were rough, the overall recovery time was surprisingly quick. I was back to... more

“So worth it!!-Philadelphia, PA”

I have disliked my nose ever since I was a tween, but now that I am in my late 20's, I REALLY dislike it most in pictures. I have considered plastic surgery since I was 17, but never had the means to pay for it myself. I continued to wait and wait, but recently, decided it was time to stop talking about it and just do it. Although I find myself to be attractive, I think I could be a little... more

“7 Days of Discomfort Was Worth the...”

I had put off having my rhinoplasty long enough.. I had suffered a bad break to my nose (in 2004) that left me with trouble breathing, widening and deformity to the bridge of my nose. I had experienced so much pain during the healing process of my fracture that I became too nervous to let anyone touch it, in fear of pain and making it only worse. After reading reviews and speaking with a... more

“Its All About the Doctor! -...”

Always wanted the surgery, never found the right surgeon or had the courage. The procedure is not painful, just uncomfortable. If your going to do this you must have patience and an understanding that it takes alot of time to see the final results or for your nose to feel normal again. Be sure to pick the right surgeon (Dr. Pontell)and discuss the before and after pictures and your goals, keep... more

“Rhinoplasty Revision - Philadelphia, PA”

My original rhinoplasty ( at age 14) was done due to a car accident. At that time, the surgeon was unable to deliver the expected outcome and to make this short, after 28 years of "nasal difficulties", I finally was ready to have the procedure corrected. The surgery was done 9/11/12 and when the cast was removed 1 week later, I literally cried with joy. If I would have known that I could... more

“Cannot Wait; Rhinoplasty Scheduled...”

I have wanted a nose job since i was at least 15. I am not comfortable with the nose i have even though everyone always tells me there is nothing wrong with my nose. I know that after i get a nose job, i will be so much more comfortable with who I am and not be as paranoid that everyone is staring at my nose. My dad's side of the family all have a big nose so i feel like my dad will not take... more

“Rhinoplasty - I Wish It Was over...”

I am so anxious to have this surgery over with. I want it to be a month post surgery. Surprisingly, I'm not fearing the surgery, I'm fearing the swelling and bruising following it. I am also wondering if I explained what I am looking for or if he forgot. I had my first consult the end of June. I wonder how much is too much if I have more questions for the doc?*UPDATE* Adding pics, (as scary as... more

“Almost 7 months post op! - Media, PA”

Where to begin...well, when I was a kid I was very outgoing and fearless when it came to trying new things, but that all seemed to change when I entered middle school and started getting teased for my nose. I was called all types of names which I still feel uncomfortable talking about to this day. After continuously being made fun of I tried avoiding attention any way I can. I stopped speaking... more

“Always Wanted a New Nose -...”

I am seriously considering rhinoplasty/chin implant or liposuction of jaw line. It will be my birthday present for my 47th year next February. I thought it best to read as much as possible before making the decision. I have a consult scheduled for July 26th. I need to save up for the surgery so it will take at least 9 months to a year to do so. I am type 1 diabetic so I have concerns for the... more

“I Need Complete Honesty!!! -...”

I have hated my nose since the beginning of high school. Every single time I look at a picture of myself I look straight at my nose. I feel that the width of it is too wide for my face and I wish I had more definition in the tip. My parents are not supportive AT ALL of me getting rhinoplasty and they think I'm crazy for wanting it (as do several of my friends who claim they never have thought... more

“A Rollercoaster of Emotions - Fort...”

To tell you the truth when I first booked my surgery date a few weeks after I came upon this website and what people were writing scared the crap out of me. Some people had a great experience while others had a ruff experience. It almost ruined my experience in the surgeons office as I waited to be taken in for surgery. My surgery date was December 22, 2011. When I arrived at 10:15am this... more

“A God Among Men - Philadelphia, PA”

I was never happy w/ my nose, as it always seemed a bit too masculine-looking. My family convinced me to do it one day and I decided if I were to do something permanent, I'd want the cream of the crop to do it, and that's what I got! He did my rhinoplasty six years ago and people still say it is the MOST natural, but perfect nose ever! I get compliments like, "your nose is... more

“Upturned Nose with Large, Visible...”

I've had rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago to eliminate visible cartilage in my left nostril and to decrease the size of my nostrils. I had thought that it would improve my appearance and that I would be less self-conscious of the visible cartilage.I've had rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago to eliminate visible cartilage in my left nostril and to decrease the size of my nostrils. Right now I am completely devastat more

“After Rhinoplasty - Columella Folded...”

I got my rhinoplasty/septoplasty over two weeks ago, and I was unprepared for all that went along with it. My doctor originally told me I would be better in a week, most of the swelling would be gone, and I would have minimal scarring.I have had three throat infections, a chest infection, sores in my mouth and throat, and now the inside of my left nostril is bright red and inflamed. Apparently... more

“LOVE the Results and the Experience...”

I had a revision rhinoplasty on 12/27/07.I was anxious about doing it but didn't think twice once I met my surgeon-beyond excellent.He spent an hour on the first consultation and called on his own time,on my schedule,to answer my (many) questions and calm my fears.I originally broke my nose very young and it took on an 'S' shape.I had rhinoplasty in 1997 but the doctor wasn't... more
