Made this account solely to recommend Dr. Seth and his office. My original ENT referred me to him because my non-cosmetic septorhinoplasty was potentially going to alter the original appearance of my nose. His office was able to schedule me in for an initial exam immediately, they were super accommodating when I asked for a surgical date ASAP, and when my insurance said they wouldn't cover it, his office kept on them until the insurance company reversed the decision! Surgery went well, minimal bruising, and now I can actually breathe through my nose. And my sense of taste has improved? No one told me that would happen. Thanks again to the Golden State Plastic Surgery team.
I had Septoplasty surgery with Dr. Seth and Katelyn in June 2023. He did an excellent job identifying steps forward into surgery following his evaluation of my crooked nose. He was clear with instructions both pre/post op and patient in explaining the different options I could go in regards to surgery. Once I arrived in my decision The entire team did a fantastic job and I can now breathe normally!

Truly remarkable! Dr. Seth earned a 5 star rating for many reasons: 1) He analyzed my issue from the outset and instantly knew the best procedure for me. 2) The timeline he gave for healing was precise. 3) Five months later, few can tell I had surgery.
Very understanding and focused on the best and satisfying result a patient would expect from undergoing Face feminization surgery. Truly Lgbt friendly clinic which is very relaxing and welcoming for patients like me .
Dr. Seth is kind, compassionate and a gifted surgeon. He performed revision rhinoplasty / septoplasty that not only improved the way my nose looked but more importantly the way I breathe. I can breathe through both nostrils now for the first time in many years. He also performed upper and lower blepharoplasty with orbital fat repositioning that have made my eyes look so much younger and refreshed. Dr. Seth listened to what I was hoping for and exceeded my expectations. As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.

Dr. Seth was very professional, courteous, and patient. Had my septo-rhinoplasty done a few months back and all has been great. Can breathe out both nostrils for the first time in a long time. Would recommend Dr. Seth to anyone looking to do a nose reconstructive procedure.
The type of rhinoplasty is often dependent on the surgeon and what works best for them. Depending on your desired appearance, the needed surgical maneuvers can be determine. Neither technique would / should case nasal blockage, but it is important to go to a surgeon who understands the techniques and approaches that not only favorably change the shape of the nose but also retain ability to breathe from the nose.
Thank you for sharing. Certainly, agree with you regarding your assessment of your nose. A revision rhinoplasty would potentially allow to correct these issues. In particular, you would want to have the nose straighter and the lower portion of the nose decreased of width and projection.
Thank you for the question. The upper jaw surgery (maxilla surgery) typically does alter the area of the lower nasal septum. It can therefore change the shape of the nose. Without pictures, it is difficult to tell what is going on, but you may be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty given the changes to the nose.
You may have loss of nasal midvault definition and support, based on your photos. It appears that there is lack of definition in that area and that may be a tell-tale sign of developing inverted v deformity. It is best to reach out to your surgeon to see of spreader grafts or suspension of the lateral wall was performed.
Thank you for the question. Sometimes the bone can have a reaction of inflammation while healing and produce a bump. I recommend a gentle massage with your finger a few times a day. This may help.
