Dr. Kotler and Silikon 1000. Perfect Combo for my Nose - Beverly Hills, CA

ORIGINAL POST

I will start off by critiquing Dr. Kotler's...

WORTH IT$750
I will start off by critiquing Dr. Kotler's office:
The office was clean, had nice decor, and very organized.
The front desk girl was nice and welcoming.
His nurse was attentive and very friendly.
The girl who collected my payment was also very nice and upbeat.
Also, Dolla has been so helpful and so kind to me since the first email I sent Dr. Kotler's office. We've exchanged more than 30 email's back and forth and she responds within 24 hours. She also helped squeeze me in to the schedule last minute which is a plus. Thank you Dolla!
Lastly, Dr. Kotler was everything a doctor should be. He delivered an outstanding bedside manner. He is smart, attentive, friendly, and compassionate. We discussed my rhinoplasty and revision history, what was bothering me and then he gave me his insight on what he recommends. I am so happy and lucky I found Dr. Kotler. I'm just sad I didn't find him sooner for my initial rhinoplasty.
My short history:
I wasn't happy with my primary rhinoplasty and fillers didn't work. My previous PS wanted me to have a revision, but it made it worse. When I expressed my concerns to the PS, he said " You're still healing and go see the office psychologist and that should make you feel better".

For 1 1/2 years, I have been dealing with depression, anxiety, and low self esteem due to my failed rhinoplasty and revision. If I could go back in time, I would have never gotten surgery. I had shut myself off from friends, relatives and social gatherings. I literally just go to work and school because I have to. If I didn't have to, I would just hide at home. I even stopped going to them gym. I was afraid to be around children because they say what ever is on their minds, so I kept away from them. I just wanted the stares to go away. People have no shame. They would stare at me like if I was some kind of freak.

My husband has been so supportive of this ongoing problem I put myself in. It's been hard for the both of us. He just want's the happy girl he married back and i think Dr. Kotler is making that happen for us. I'm not trying to make my nose perfect. I just want to look like a normal person and stop the stares.

I recently had my first round of shots and I already see a major improvement. It looks amazing. It was not painful. I felt little sharp pinches here and there, but nothing crazy. My confidence and self esteem had improved dramatically. Right after the procedure I went to lunch, a short hike at the Griffith Park, and the Griffith Observatory. And guess what? The stares stopped!!!! I probably got 90% less stares. If you are going through the same issues I am, I recommend Dr. Kotler. Do not waste your time and money with some inexperienced PS. Hope this helps someone.

Will post pictures when I get the chance.

I'm so glad to hear that the injections have helped shape your nose.  Looking forward to your pics!

Wait...so you paid $750 for a permanent non surgical nose job? (Or is is $750 per session) That seems way too good to be true! Definitely will check this out

It's actually $1000 per session, but if you mention you found out about him through real self you get 25% discount for the first visit only.

How did you learn about Silikon 1000? Or did your Dr. suggest using it?
November 24, 2015
I did my research here on realself and in YouTube.

3rd set of injections

gabbs
I just had my 3rd set of injections on my messed up nose on friday, 8/31/2015. Things are looking WAY better. So far, I think the appearance has improved approximately 85-90%. During my first 2 rounds, I have to admit I was going through an emotional roller coaster. I expressed all of these concerns and emotions with Dr. Kotler's staff. The nurse Mary responded to my emails in a timely manner and made sure Dr. Kotler was informed. Dr. Kotler was nice and actually called me and we spoke. This is so appreciated because I hate when Doctors only relay a message to the staff or send an email. He actually took time to speak to me. He said to return if I needed to "top it off". Me being me, I feel like I will need to "top it off". I promise I will post my pictures as soon as I can. I am an extremely busy individual and I rarely have time...So pictures will come soon.

Did you have any bruising or any side effects? Did you do the saline test first !? It looks great thanks
November 9, 2015
No side effects and no bruising. Only a little sore on site of injection. But it went away in like a couple if days. I did not do saline.

Dr. Kotler fixed my nose last year - which was similar to yours (I had three rhinoplasties). I have not posted my story yet as I still might get one more injection -- he is THE BEST!!!! And you are involved in how you want your nose to look with him the entire process. AND his injections are permanent, not temporary. And he does not stick it to you $ wise. Such a great value for the cost. I know how you feel, when you leave his office after an injection you are floating on air!!!

For Hypatia23 - there is no pain, bruising really. Just a little bit the first day, but no biggy. They numb you, and of course, needles do hurt a little bit, but for those of us who have botched nose jobs he is a gift from the angels above. Plus he's so nice and lovely man.
November 22, 2015
sorry, I shouldn't type so fast - just a little bit of pain that first day, but that is to be expected when you get needles. Absolutely no bruising whatsoever, can go during your lunch hour (I do) -- and the parking across the street is free - which is fantastic as all my other doctors I have to pay $8-$15 parking each visit.
