I'm considering Dr. Ghavami for a possible revision rhino to make my nose bigger. I had a very ethnic nose originally and my original surgeon completely altered it. I'm looking to make my nose 'stronger' overall- more structure, definition, and projection. If any of you have had a revision rhino with him and are willing to share your journey and pictures, I'd be SO SO SO thankful. You can inbox me through here and we can exchange emails. Thanks in advance. And good luck to everyone else receiving procedures. I hope you love your new look! <3

Have you considered having Dr. Paul Nassif perform your revision rhinoplasty? I chose him over every other doctor in Beverly Hills (I live in southern Arizona south of Tucson) because I have seen his work every week on the show Botched, and he is, without question, one of the very best rhino/septoplasty surgeons in southern Ca. I am 9 days out from my revision with Dr. Nassif, and my experience was truly amazing. I had cartilage taken from my ear and a rib because he needed to reconstruct the entire inside of my nose due to 3 previously botched rhinoplasties. My nose was way too short, my nostrils were embarrassingly uneven, the tip of my nose made a left turn, I couldn't breathe except through my mouth, my allergies were awful all the time, and over time I started to snore really badly. Dr. Nassif did an outstanding job without any pain whatsoever. Now my nostrils and tip are perfect, and he was able to lengthen my nose. I've had no allergy issues since the surgery, my breathing is much improved, and even though I have to sleep on my back for at least another week, my husband has not heard me snore at all. My nose not only functions better, but it is aesthetically & cosmetically beautiful. I haven't posted any photos yet, but will in a few more weeks. Dr. Nassif is expensive, but at the age of 69, I've learned that in this life you get what you pay for. I am a retired high school math teacher and my husband is retired military, so we are definitely not among his usual wealthy Beverly Hills clientele. We used credit cards to pay for my surgery. He is worth any amount of money he charges because he delivers what he promises, has an incredible office staff, and he is so personable, friendly, and adorable. I love Dr. Nassif and give him the highest rating possible. Just watch his work on Botched, and you can see for yourself what he does. By the way, he specializes in revision rhinoplasties and performs multiple procedures every week. He is a true artist and perfectionist. You owe it to yourself to check him out.

Thank you for taking the time to type a great recommendation! I've considered Dr. Nassif, his work is amazing and i love him on Botched. Unfortunately he is just WAY out of my price range. I'm leaning towards Dr. Davis I'm Miramar, FL. His work is outstanding and his prices are totally reasonable. I'm so glad you're happy with your nose. That gives me so much hope! Right now, I wonder if I'll ever be happy and not regret the decision to have my nose done in the first place. I pray I can get to the other side. Thanks again so much!

I have also read many wonderful reviews about Dr. Jason Hamilton in LA and Dr. Grigoryous (sp) in Glendale, Ca. There seem to be quite a few plastic surgeons throughout the country that have been given great reviews on RealSelf. Word of mouth is definitely the way to proceed in your search. Good luck and don't be afraid to go through with the surgery. You will be so much happier when you see the results.

Before you choose this doctor.. please read bunch of unsatisfied patients from realself (click lowest rating) and on yelp review (not recommended reviews). I heard he is very rude and wait times are long for consultation. Also there was a review for an ethnic nose patient but he messed her nose up saying "it is much I can do" when he told her he could do it confidently. I say research on other doctors as well as their lowest ratings (both on yelp, realself and other websites).

He also charge exorbitant fees for first time surgery and for revision that he messed up. He had many bad reviews and apparently he gets very upset when people gives him a honest and truthful reviews about him. I am planning for my nose revision as well but after reading similar and consistent complaint about him.. I found another doctor for my nose job revision.

Good luck and i hope you find your doctor that will give you satisfaction and good bedside manner/provide patent with great care!
July 21, 2016
Thank you! I'm mostly considering Dr. Davis in Miramar FL. His prices are doable and patients rave about his best side manner. I wish you the best of luck as well. May we finally be at peace with our noses.

Hey! I had a primary rhinoplasty with Ghavami over 3 months ago. I haven't written a review yet because I want to wait to be healed for longer, maybe at the 6 month mark. But if you do decide to go through with him I could answer some questions about him/what happens for the surgery/what you need to do :) Overall I'm very satisfied with the results. Dr. Davis' work looks excellent as well -good luck with whoever you end up going to! As for Dr. Nassif, idk, I'm not a big fan of his work. Look through his before and after photos on his official website. Many of his results only seem to mildly improve the aesthetics but still leave a large or strange looking nose similar to how it was before, like his patient number 3. I also find it weird how there is no zoom in or expand option at all. All of his photos are small squares and you can't see the exact details or scar work. Even the "enlarge photo" button just take you to a separate page with the small squares, still small as ever lmao. Just be careful, it's your FACE that's at risk after all, so you need to be 100% certain.

Hello! I'm glad you're happy so far with your result! That's so important, and it'll only get better as the swelling goes down :) Dr. Davis is my number 1 but I'm open to hear from patients of other doctors, so if you would like to send me your experience with Dr. G, you can private message me. And I agree with the Dr. Nassif comments. Also, his price is way too much, way overpriced. Other doctors do the same work and ask for much less. That to me, speaks volumes about the Dr's ethics and heart. Thanks so much for your input, I really appreciate it :)

Thank you! And yes, I'm very happy I finally decided to go through with it after contemplating for so many years! And totally agreed, definitely go for good experience and results and not the popularity of a doctor for sure. No worries! I would just like to warn you that your face will look super bloated for roughly 3-4 weeks post-op, so do not panic! That's honestly my biggest advice :) My face was like twice its size for that period lol, so just be prepared to handle that. Good luck to you, I hope everything goes well!

I'll be looking for your review! I scheduled a primary rhino with ghavami a couple months from now

I happen to be one of Dr. Nassif success stories and can't praise his expertise enough when it comes to revision rhiplasties/septoplasties. I, like many of his patients, need to have the inside of their nose rebuilt due to functional issues, while you're judging his results strictly on aesthetics. He believes in keeping the nose as natural looking as possible, rather than having every one of his patients walking around with the same redone nose. Dr. Nassiff is a highly qualified facial surgeon and among the best in Beverly Hills. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been selected to perform his surgeries on the show "Botched". Also, he can only show photos that patients allow via a signed consent, so you're only getting a very small sample of all the initial or revision rhinoplasties he performs almost daily.

^ That is true, but like functioning, aesthetics are an important part of rhinoplasties. I would say that the majority of patients even get rhinoplasties in the first place due to desiring an improved physical appearance. Also, it is great that Nassif believes in natural looking appearances, just like Ghavami, whose motto is "keep them guessing" aha my point is that there are tons of good doctors out there but beauty is subjective, so it's best to be very picky.

Did you schedule your consultation with Dr Davis? He is also my first choice now
August 7, 2016
Sorry I took so long to respond. Yes, I have a consult with him later this year!! I'll keep you all updated if possible!

I booked a year out. I knew I hated my nose, so when I found out about Dr. Davis, I secured an appt for after my one year mark. I know a lot of people are struggling to book him..

Hey, I'm in the same place as you two, I had a strong italian nose, sleek and slender (just the slightest drop and a bit of a hump) and wound up with a short upturned nose with a fat tip that is so piggy looking.... Davis is also the first on my radar.... we should swap information so we can support one another xx

Did you meet with Dr. Davis? I recently had a revision with him and so far am pleased. I'm only three weeks out and there is still a lot of swelling but I'm very hopeful. I'm super impressed with him as a person and the care he provides his patients.
