African American Rhinoplasty (Dr. Jason Hamilton) - Beverly Hills, CA

So I just had my first consultation with Dr. Jason Hamilton on Thursday. It actually went really good. Dr. Hamilton is very sweet, and he makes you feel safe, and you get a feeling that you are in good hands. I received my quote for the surgery on Friday and it is pretty expensive. At this point I'm just trying to figure out how I can save up to get it done. I know care credit is an option but I'm not 100% sure how that works.

Good luck on your rhinoplasty journey! I will be having my rhinoplasty with an excellent surgeon in Beverly hills. My fee is around $19,000 so I am waiting until December to save up!

@superman147 thank you! That's a pretty big quote ..he must do really good work. Who is your surgeon if you don't mind me asking
February 5, 2017
No problem! Dr. Donald B Yoo
I spent over 6 months searching for a surgeon but he by far does the best results on African american skin

Hi I'm not able to click the link..you can send it through my inbox:)
February 6, 2017
consultation is $250
at first i did not really want to go because i thought that was too much money... but honestly the best consultation EVER... not only is he thorough but he really knows what he is doing
Are you looking for subtle or dramatic results?
User Avatar
February 6, 2017
I'm looking for a combination of both.:) I want my nose to look different..but only to me, I want the results to "look" subtle, soft, and refined, not like an obvious nose job that looks crazy if that makes sense haha

What did you guys discuss during your consult
February 6, 2017
I definitely understand!
Basically I am looking for a significant result... If i am paying all this money, I want to have my ideal nose..
After you take pictures.. he morphs them on the computer and shows you what your nose could look like.. This was really nice, but he also said it has limits
We decided upon augmenting my nasal bridge with rib cartilage and using rib cartilage also form my tip. Also alar reduction to reduce the width of my nose.
My nose is very similar to yours and I asked for my nose to be tall and projected. He went into detail about how he would do the surgery and then answered my questions..
I recommend you consult with him if you have not already booked Hamilton. Personally i did not feel Hamilton could deliver what I wanted...

i have ethnice nose and require revision...Can you suggest anyone??? i aslo want dramatic results as well
February 9, 2017
Does Dr donald deal with revision cases also?? i have done it a three times now
February 9, 2017
Yes he specializes in revision! Honestly, this is our face so I need the absolute best doctor I can find
I am happy I did
February 9, 2017
go to his page
February 9, 2017
i know thats why i need the best
March 7, 2017
to be honest, I love this girls pre op nose better than post op , but I know people have different preferences.

He does not accept Care Credit. I just cancelled my surgery with him because of this!!!
User Avatar
February 8, 2017
I actually had to put my surgery on hold as well because they do not offer care credit at the time.:(
February 8, 2017
i'm actually considering these docs: Kenneth hughes (LA); John Vartanian (Glendale, CA); Dr. Khorsandi (Las Vegas). they are very good surgeons for black noses.. I've done the research.......they all take care credit.... I'm looking for something a bit more drastic than Dr. Hamilton's work.. Dr. Hamilton is excellent but he's not the only one who can work on black noses...lol
February 8, 2017
What about dr ghavami?? I have an ethnic nose n want dramatic results not natural
February 9, 2017
I've seen his work on real self and on his site.. He does a great job. I agree with you.. any alteration to our black noses will be dramatic and not "natural" but we don't want to look "pinched like the Jacksons". Dr. Hamilton is nice but very conservative his approach. I want a surgeon who is slightly past conservative but not overly aggressive.. because once it removed it can't be put back...LOL I'm looking to find a surgeon in the 10,500 range. preferably less.. I really hate feeling like I should have to pay more because I'm black...LOL

Either I'm going to have to research more surgeons or just save $$for doctor Hamilton. although he's the only one I trust tbh I haven't met with any other doctors but I just feel like he'll better understand my needs
User Avatar
February 9, 2017
I've seen some bad reviews with ghavami search him on real Self
February 9, 2017
He's great... but I've had my care credit for several years.. If I closed that card and applied somewhere else....my credit would take a hit.. so after stalking all photos of black women who have had rhinoplasty I've come to the conclusion there are other very talented surgeons.. this may sound bad but I wants a pointer tip and am worried a black doctor may not give me this because of his own bias even if it looks great.. I've seen plenty of black women on real self with pointier tips that look very natural... right now I'm loving VIP plastic surgery in las vegas.. I talked with a black female who had surgery with him and her results were beautiful just two days post op...
February 9, 2017
I've seen some bad review on Dr. G as well. I'm telling you check out kial44.. she went to Dr. Khosandi... her nose was gorgeous even a few days after surgery... That's who I think I may settle on.. Dr.Hughes price was 12,500... YIKES!!!! Dr. Hamilton was only 10,500
February 9, 2017
I have seen a few bad reviews for Dr. G but Dr Hamilton i have seen a few reviews that i didnt really like his work as much. The patient was happy but like i mentioned i am wanting dramatic changes check out this one https://www.realself.com/review/los-angeles-revision-rhinoplasty-dr-hamilton
February 9, 2017
Yeah!!! I saw her on real self.. She had a great result... but her inner nose is different than mine.. Its nice to see how skilled Dr. H is... He would be my top choice if he accepted Care Credit.. So regrettably I have to let him go... I have to search for another qualified doc that works with black noses and accepts care credit.. there are plenty.. check out http://bevhills.com/gallery/rhinoplasty-photos/

Looks like really good work! I may go to a consultation since I'll be in Vegas next month. And yah it's a bummer he doesn't offer care credit. At this point I feel like I have to just wait it out. As for me a just want a more refined and smaller nose with a beautiful bridge. Pointy wouldn't fit my face well
February 10, 2017
Right now I want to have Dr. Khorsandi to my rhinoplasty. I've been chatting with kial44.. check out her review and pictures... https://www.realself.com/review/henderson-nv-african-american-rhinoplasty-37-years-ethnic-rhinoplasty?rating=worth-it&offset=3

I'm just waiting for a quote...
February 10, 2017
So I just put my $1000 deposit down with Dr. Kenneth Hughes.. he did this surgery..https://www.realself.com/review/los-angeles-ca-african-american-rhinoplasty-42-yr-bridge-defined-tip-decrease?rating=worth-it&offset=24


I'll be in California.. I'm sooooo excited.. gonna buy my plane ticket now!!!
February 23, 2017
Trust me on this one, save your money. I had a consult with Dr. Hamilton but decided to go with another surgeon because he was closer to home. Now I am saving up for a revision with Dr. Hamilton. Make sure whoever you decide to go to has experience with ethnic rhinoplasty or else you will shopping for a revision. Good Luck and remember you only have one face!
February 23, 2017
Wait!
February 23, 2017
Yep.. its very frustrating that most plastic surgeon keep the black rhinoplasty pics off their website. For example in Beverly hills there are so many docs that brag about performing ethnic rhinoplasty then you go their page and there's one black person and several middle-easterner and no Asians....LOL!!!!
February 23, 2017
I'm have full faith in Dr. Hughes. I talked with him and seen his work. I love Dr. Hamilton but want something a bit more drastic than Dr. Hamilton will want to perform. I don't want to look like Janet but I would like a cuter refined tip.

Thank you love!! I think I'm going to save up half and take a loan out for the rest for Dr. Hamilton:)
April 10, 2017
what happened to Dr. Khorsandi?
February 15, 2017
Love please do your research very well..I think this doctor that your are considering is perfect for our type of nose..but you have other options I like Dr Karan Dhir also he does great noses and they look very natural. Take your time don't rush to do the procedure because is your nose, your face.. Good Luck

Thank you so much love i appreciate your help
February 16, 2017
I am still waiting for Dr. Dhir to perform on an african american patient
February 16, 2017
Dr. Dhir doesnt have much reviews though and his instagram for ethnic noses isnt the best if your wanting dramatic results.
February 16, 2017
If you were up for traveling you should look at Dr. Yapjuangco in Manila. I'll be having rhinoplasty with him in May. He's done alot of work on Asian and black noses and the outcomes are both natural and dramatic...And the cost is so low compared to I the U.S because it's cheaper to operate a facility in the Philippines. Check out his Instagram, his work is beautiful.
February 17, 2017
@tazzgarrett does Dr. deal with revision cases??
February 17, 2017
He does. He has many revisions on his Instagram, alot of them on very bad primary rhinoplasties, and they look amazing.
User Avatar
February 19, 2017
His work looks very good..but I'd want my surgeon to be close by for checkups and if I have any concerns

April 3, 2017
yeah...that's whats kept me from entertaining the thought of an overseas doc, as well
