Improve breathing and overall appearance.

I recently had rhino/septoplasty done by Dr. Elam and am so glad that I chose him to do the procedure. My nose looks outstanding and it fits my face perfectly. The surgery went by seamlessly and I have healed very quickly. The process and outcome both greatly exceeded my original hopes.

About two months ago I had rhinoplasty done by Dr. Elam and I could not have picked a better surgeon. Before I had this surgery, I was unsure what nose would fit best on my face and the nose that Dr. Elam created is perfect. Everyone compliments me and I honestly don't think that I could have had better results. Everything about the surgery was easy. I did not have any bruising and the swelling went down quickly. I experienced literally no pain and the only issue was that I had a splint on my nose for a week so I couldn't leave my apartment. I feel like my face is much more balanced and I have a nose that fits flawlessly. Because I am a student at USC, Dr. Elam's office is far from where I live but his staff was very helpful in making appointments for me that worked with my schedule. I would 100% recommend him. It is a joy to spend time with the entire staff and with 30 + years of experience, Dr. Elam's work is impeccable. Message me if you have any questions!
