RealSelf Q&A with Dr. Joseph RS: What sets your practice apart? EJ: Expertise. I’m highly specialized in all types of rhinoplasty procedures—primary, teen, revision, functional, and ethnic rhinoplasty surgery, as well as permanent nonsurgical rhinoplasty. With rhinoplasty surgery, your surgeon’s experience is critical for achieving a favorable result. Rhinoplasty may be one of the most challenging plastic surgeries, and it’s best to get it right the first time. Another point of differentiation is my expertise with the off-label use of the permanent filler Silikon 1000. It’s the only filler I use. Anything you can do with regular filler, you can do safely and effectively with Silikon 1000. RS: What inspired you to become a surgeon? EJ: Both of my parents are doctors, so it’s in my DNA. But the day I walked into the operating room, I was mesmerized. I knew part of my work as a physician was going to be in the OR. RS: How did you decide to specialize in rhinoplasty? EJ: I did a fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery with a world-renowned rhinoplasty specialist. We did over 150 rhinoplasties together, and I caught the bug. I love rhinoplasty, and I’ve figured out a technique that works. As a result, I have more than the average surgeon’s number of positive reviews. I also have one of the largest before-and-after galleries of rhinoplasty surgery on the Northeast corridor. I pride myself on posting every view of every patient—not just the best one. RS: What’s your practice like? EJ: We’re a four-person shop, and our goal is to treat you like a member of our family. When patients come to my office, it’s a very intimate experience. The first and only medical professional they see is me. RS: How would you describe your approach to plastic surgery? EJ: Cautious. I’m a conservative surgeon who favors a nonsurgical approach whenever possible, reserving surgery as a last resort. For each of the 100-plus surgical rhinoplasties I perform in a year, I do three times as many nonsurgical rhinoplasties.
Dr Eric M Joseph performed a true miracle by straightening my nose without surgery. The results are natural , and the procedure was quick and painless. I am beyond thrilled and grateful- highly recommended. The staffs are incredible, kind , supportive throughout. The non- surgical nose correction was affordable and absolute worth every penny. I am amazed by the results.
I had a great experience with Dr.Joseph. He made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process and I was able to trust him right after my first consultation. He’s a very approachable and friendly doctor that will address all your concerns. My goal was to make my nose look natural and blend in with my facial features and he did exactly that. I highly recommend Dr. Joseph.
Amazing! He knew exactly what I wanted and was very reassuring and communicative throughout the whole process. The end result was exactly what I had asked for and was what I had in mind. Couldn’t recommend enough.
Dr. Joseph is skilled, caring and knowledgeable. He made myself and family feel comfortable on the day of the rhinoplasty surgery. Dr. Joseph made personal calls to check on me during recovery, which I appreciated. I am very pleased with the results.
The way I found Dr. Joseph was in my search for a permanent method to fix scars, dents & asymmetries on my face due to a catastrophic auto accident from twelve years ago, and subsequent work to repair the damage. Fillers lacked the precision, and unless you're making incredible money they're not a feasible long-term solution. Silicone offered permanence but who hasn't heard nightmare stories about that? When I read about Dr. Joseph's technique of using Silikon-1000 (medical grade) microdroplets to incrementally "build" up the desired results in RealSelf, I jumped on the opportunity and couldn't wait for the day of my appointment to arrive. Although it was a long ride from where I live to Livingston, NJ, it would be well worth the trip as not many doctors work with this product or talk about it in such careful and precise detail. The office is beautiful, the staff welcoming and very helpful, and Dr. Joseph was amazing. His breadth of knowledge and the expanse of his medical background alone is so impressive that you might be willing to put up with a bit of arrogance that's a common trait in doctors who know way less, but instead Dr. Joseph is one of the warmest, kindest & ethical human beings I've met--triple that for doctors/surgeons...trust, I've met all kinds. After carefully going over my medical history and examining my face, sadly Dr. Joseph concluded that he couldn't say with any degree of certainty, or even probability, that this procedure could help me and he explained in painful detail why (based on my nerves' and tissues' response to severe and repeated trauma). He also took the time to stress how blessed I am to have not just survived a pretty extensive list of life-threatening injuries, but to have worked my way back to thriving--albeit with the lumps, bumps and dents. As a woman with a harshly critical eye it's natural to freak out when you look in the mirror and see a dizzying amount of flaws in a world where, sad truth, we ARE judged by our looks, and I know I was giving vibes of despair. An unscrupulous, or even just a strictly business-oriented doctor could easily have seized on that vulnerability to say "okay, we'll give it a shot, but you know given what you've been through already it might not work", leading me on an journey to nowhere that would cost more time and money for poor results at best. Dr. Joseph didn't because he's a straight shooter with a good heart and an honest recognition of his limitations, despite his extensive expertise. This ran longer than I intended, but if it helps just one person get to the right doctor then the time it took to write (and read--sorry) all this is time well spent. His consultation fee is so worth it for the invaluable knowledge he'll share with you, whatever you decide to do.
Dr. Joseph is simply the best. I drive over 2 hours to be here for a reason - because he knows what he is doing. I am so, so happy I did this. They are so kind here and really listened to me. I love my results and its 100 percent worth it.
After doing an insane amount of research, I am BLESSED to have found Dr. Joseph for my liquid rhino revision. A permanent result is ideal such as Silikon 1000, but ONLY IN THE HANDS OF THIS DOCTOR. My original rhino surgery had been plaguing me for 1.5 years. I had too much nostril show with an overly rotated tip. I was prepared to spend 20k+ for revision and deal with that invasive recovery all over again. Not only did he save me from this, he gave me an instant result that brought tears of joy to my eyes in his office. He analyzed what the issue was, fixed it in 10 minutes, no pain, no swelling. My confidence instantly restored. Dr. Joseph is absolutely one of the best rhino surgeons in the country. He is a miracle worker. Updated on 28 Sep 2024: Better angle with this pic
Dr. Joseph did an amazing job with my revision rhinoplasty! I was so unhappy for years after my first rhinoplasty and was worried about trusting another surgeon to fix my nose. Dr. Joseph really understood esactly how I wanted my nose to look. He also fixed all the issues inside my nose that were obstucting my breathing. Overall, going with Dr. Joseph was the best decision I ever made, I wish I did it sooner!
Dr Joseph is a great surgeon. He listens to you, works with you to understand what you want. Shows you in detail what your results could be. Pre and post operation he is caring and kind and supportive. The results are actually better than the images - he did a great job and I couldn’t be more happy. I just wish I did it years ago! His entire office is fantastic to work with and kind. I highly recommend and appreciate the team and Dr Joseph.
Everyone was so welcoming and made sure that I received the results I wanted immediately. I was informed on everything that was going to be done, which eased my anxiety significantly. I could not have asked for a better experience!
If you feel that you had Improvement after hyaluronidase to dissolve your filler, and that there is still some remaining, you could certainly consult with your doctor about the feasibility of using the dissolving enzyme in the area that you are concerned about. Other option would be to try a dilute triamcinolone acetamide injection to see if that might reduce inflammation and discomfort. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
It's difficult to pinpoint exactly what has changed based on your before and after photos, however, if some of the neurotoxin was injected into your resorious muscle, that can cause a subtle change in the appearance of your facial shape, especially with smiling. The effects of Botox will completely wear off. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
If you are breathing well through your nose, and if you're only concerned is a deepened crease of your right ala, microdroplet Silikon-1000 nasal injections may be considered for permanently filling this area, and for improving the appearance of your nose. This would not improve upon your nasal breathing. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
It's difficult to see a pinched appearance, based on the photos that you posted. From my vantage point, you appear to have less flare of your nostrils, and you appear to look good! In all likelihood, with an isolated alarplasty, if you are 3 months or longer after your procedure, you are likely looking at a final result. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
Based on your photos, you appear to have very thin nasal skin which is why we can see your right and left tip cartilages completely through the skin, and also the natural cleft that lies in between your two tip cartilages. Rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for achieving a narrower and more symmetrical nasal tip appearance, along with dorsal bump removal and nasal straightening. Please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who understand how to treat patients with thin nasal skin which is unforgiving after rhinoplasty surgery insofar as revealing irregularities. Thank you for your question, and I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
