Simply the Best
In October 2024, I shattered the bridge of my nose in an accident. After some care in the Baltimore trauma center, I transferred my care to Dr. Papel for reconstruction. April 2025 I underwent reconstructive rhinoplasty with Dr. Papel. One year later, I am good as new. Better, even! For the first time in my life I can breathe! Better than before the accident, too be honest! And my nose looks perfect! Barely any scarring; none anyone notices. I am so incredibly thankful to Dr.

Very Good Nose Surgery
Very great team, procedure was done very well in all aspects and so far my healing is very effective. They're all very kind and the place is very nice too. There was barely any bruising and the swelling went down very fast. I highly recommend Dr. Papel and his team!

I Had an Amazing Experience
I had an incredible experience! On June 19, I had a rhinoplasty because I was having trouble breathing, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From my first consultation, Dr. Ira Papel made me feel completely comfortable and confident in his care. The entire process was smooth, and the results are even better than I imagined—I can breathe easily and my nose looks natural and beautiful. I am truly grateful for Dr. Papel’s expertise and kindness, and I highly recommend him

Dr. Papel is Truly the Best!
My nose has been broken for decades, probably more than once. I also had a deviated septum. Once I finally decided to have a consultation, I did a lot of research and went to see Dr. Papel. From the moment I met him, he put me at ease and explained everything so kindly and carefully that I scheduled the procedure right away. I had it done early in the morning despite bad weather and was able to recover without opioid painkillers. The after care instructions and supplies were well

Thankful and Able to Breathe!
Dr. Papel is fantastic! He listens so well, understood my challenges with breathing normally and took the time to teach me about my nose. He explained my procedure really well and drastically improved my nose and health. I can’t believe I waited so long to get my nose fixed.

My Septorhinoplasty Experience with Dr. Papel
I went to Dr. Papel to fix a bump in my nose from a previous break as well as a droopy tip. From the start, Papel was knowledgeable, friendly, and explained everything to me clearly. Pricing was very reasonable. I ended up having a septorhinoplasty, and I had an absolutely amazing experience with him. I would recommend him to anyone who is searching for a natural yet aesthetically pleasing nose. I am only 7 days post op but I am already very happy with my results and looking forward
