When I decided to do rhinoplasty I started reading a lot of forums about top doctors & about surgery itself.
Dr.Kotler was almost in every list of Top Plastic surgeons of USA. So I started reading all the reviews. First of all, there are almost no negative reviews about his work. But even if there are, comparing to all other doctors Dr. Kotler responds to them with all the explanations why this or that happened. And it's always because patient didn't follow the recovery instructions. That made me understand that this person takes care of his reputation that is very important for me.
Then I watched numerous videos about him on Youtube & learnt that he is very popular & active:
- he is a surgeon with almost 40 years practice in this specific area
- he is a professor in the University
- he writes books
- he takes part in all kind of international medical conferences
And 2 most important things for me were that:
- he invented super airway tubes Kotler Nasal Airways that allows you to breath right after the surgery which makes all the recovery process so much easier
- he is against of "opened" rhinoplasty cause it takes ages for the patient to recover after it & it leaves scars.
All these facts made me think that he is a true perfectionist which means that he knows his job & he knows how to make you beautiful.
Finally I can say that I'm extremely happy that I chose Dr.Kotler cause:
- my nose & face look so beautiful now
- i recovered very quickly - on the 3d day I already went for a walk, on the 6th day after removal of the cast - i had fun in Beverly hills restaurants enjoying life)) Almost no bruising & swelling!!
I had a fear that being a foreigner I'd gonna be lonely & uncomfortable during recovery period. But Dr. Kotler & his team were like family for me giving advises where to go & what to do.

And very important thing for me was that I didn't feel pain at all at all the stages!!!))

So I was becoming beautiful in a beautiful place with a beautiful people)))

Congrats! Closed approach doesn't work with every patient and in all cases in rhinoplasty. Also some people who don't get ideal results can't be blamed they didn't because they didn't follow the surgeon's instructions but it could be due to the way they have healed and in some cases it's the surgeon's fault. Not everyone will get perfect results even if they had the op with your doctor! !

I believe that if you trust surgery to a true professional & really follow instructions you will get the best result. That's what I know from all spheres of my life.

This review sounds like it came from the doctor himself. Lol but I agree with the poster below, it's definitely not always the patient's fault when they don't get ideal results. A little research can tell you that. :-)

I describe everything so clearly because when I was looking for the doctor I got lost in all the emotional reviews that I found. I really was dreaming about someone who would just tell about his experience systematizing everything by paragraphs. I will be happy if my review will help people in finding a really good doctor who I think Dr.Kotler is. This is my experience & i'm 100% happy))) You always have a choice.

I think in the majority of cases when the patient's goals have not been achieved it's the surgeon's fault.

Glad you liked your doctor. You're only a month post op - how's the swelling/bruising different from day 6? And what did you have done, was it minimal and is that perhaps why your recovery was simpler than most? I

There was a lot to do with my nose. I had a traditional eastern nose. Plus with asymmentry. So Dr. Kotler removed the bump, shortened the nose & completely changed the shape of it. Now my face looks completely different: very smooth & girly. As for bruising - no bruising at all. As for swelling - only the tip of my nose is still a little bit numb. But everything is getting better & better from day to day. The whole nose looks very natural!!))
