I had a wide, bulbous nose with a small dorsal hump. I thought about this surgery for as long as I can remember and finally decided to go ahead with it about 3 months ago. Unfortunately I made a terrible choice in doctor and will need revision surgery. I will post photos soon.
I made my decision to go with Dr. Zakhary partially based on the reviews of her on ratemds. However, when I went to see another doctor regarding revision he wanted to look up her reviews to understand why I had chosen her after seeing my poor result. The doctor pointed that there were many “SYSTEM: positive spam ratings” that had been removed from the site and that this is a “red flag” - that she may be writing her own reviews!!
I hope by writing this I can save at least a few people from going through what I have. Please do lots of research about the doctor you choose - this is your face you're messing with. There are so many good surgeons on realself who have many reviews and great results that you can see. Please do not just choose a surgeon because they are in the same city! After doing some research I found that it would have cost me about the same to go to a much more experienced doctor in the States that has lots of reviews and photos on here. If anyone has any questions or would like to see any photos please email me and I will share my experience with you.

Thank you so much for posting your story here on RealSelf. We do work hard to make sure all the reviews on the site are legit and posted by real patients.
I'm sorry you are unhappy with your results. We'd love to see your photos so we can visualize what you're describing.
