I had a wonderful experience at this office in Beverly Hills. Great staff, great doctor, very imformative, accomidating and easy to work with. I would reccomend this surgeon to anyone.

I had rhinoplasty almost 2 weeks ago and my nose looks great but my smile is awful. My surgeon had to cut the skin connecting my lip to my gum (b/c my lips would of been too raised) and now it is really tight in that area and I have the goofiest smile ever. Will my normal smile ever return?

This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

Helpful review?

Hi, Give it time and your smile should return to normal. Certainly, your surgeon is the best person to answer your question. Enjoy your nose! Dr. P

Hi, I'm vietnamese, at 26 I had a nose bridge added and had it implented through the lips like you. It has been 5 yrs now and my smile didn't turn back to the way it was. I used to love my smile, it was the best feature I had, now it doesn't look the same, my upper lip actually look thinner too because of it. Dr never said it would effect my smile/lip. I think, if I would do it over, I would had it cut inside the nostrils, my mom had it done that way. My bridge also left me with a white tip on my nose ;( But overall I am happy with the operation; my smile isn't the same, but not bad either, so I'm ok with it.
