Words can't express sadness and regret I feel since rhinoplasty performed by Ghavami in April of 2015. I have never been teased or bullied about my nose but I always felt insecure. My nose was deviating to the left and my bump was kind of big . My front was not perfect but it never bothered me since my profile was the only concern and that's is the main reason why I decided to have this procedure done. I wanted minor changes and I wanted to keep the overall shape of my nose. The only thing that I wanted to change is to shave the bump. I picked Ghavami since he was preaching about natural results blah blah .. He agreed to straighten my nose and shave the bump. That's all! That was supposed to be all. What I got instead is something completely the opposite. My nose was upturned and shortened too much, my tip was completely redone leaving me with very pinched look. I have also developed saddle nose deformity which was confirmed by 2 doctors here on RS and by Richard Davis who I met a couple of months ago. According to Davis, the only way to fix this is with rib grafts. Ghavami thinks that my nose looks good and he can fix it easily in the office. First solution he offered was to shave my bump, which I refused since I think my nose is too small already. The second solution he offered is to take a piece of ear cartilage and fill in the dent below my bump - also office procedure! Scary right ? There is no way I would agree to this!!
For anyone considering rhinoplasty please please please rethink how much you dislike your nose. Don't take this decision lightly. If you really have to do it, please go to a facial plastic surgeon who is specialized in rhinoplasty and doesn't perform 50 other body procedures.
Physical part of rhinoplasty was not bad at all.. no pain for me and just a little discomfort since I had to breathe through my mouth. Emotional part is excruciating!! Sleepless nights, nightmares, anxiety attacks, sadness, crying ... the worst part is looking at the mirror and not being able to recognize myself .. so so sad :(
It's true how they say rhinoplasty can change your life and it did for me in a negative way. I really hope nobody goes through this :(

Sorry to hear about your bad outcome. Are you considering revision ?
Yeah I read some bad reviews about Naficy lately. It's unreal how they charge so much and deliver nothing. I said it in general that a person have a much better chances with doctor who only does noses compared to doctor who does noses, breasts, tommy tucks, s curves and all that. I know and I realized that nothing is guaranteed and no surgeon is perfect.
