Just had the most lovely consult with Dr Hamilton. Iv'e had 5 consults with different surgeons all different price ranges and experience levels . I love Dr Hamilton's before and after photos on here and i felt like when speaking to him he wasn't trying to sell me on getting the surgery.. he felt authentic and I agreed with what he said technically in terms of what needs to be done to my nose. I booked surgery for August 26th and I am very excited! I will post before and after photos and note about progress.. ahhhh!

Can you reveal the total cost of your surgery, including Dr. Hamilton's fee, the Anesthesiologist, and the surgical center? I just had a revision septoplasty in Beverly Hills a month ago with a well-known facial plastic surgeon. My nose looks beautiful, but due to his fame, reputation, and expertise, he is very expensive (over $32,000).

wow that's crazy! Who was it? Nassif? I met with him.. wasn't into his vibe lol .. its around 11k.. got to pay for a hotel close by also as I don't live too close
July 24, 2016
My surgery involved ear and rib grafts and was a complex 6 hour procedure, so maybe all that added to his fee. He was the only plastic surgery in Beverly Hills I consulted, after 3 or 4 local plastic surgeons wouldn't touch me. I live near Tucson, Az., so maybe these local doctors weren't trained in revision rhinoplasties. I knew Dr. Nassif could fix my previously botched surgeries, so I never interviewed any other surgeons. His practice is huge, so evidently his prices don't scare away too many people. I've read many excellent reviews about Dr. Hamilton on this website, so I'm sure you will be in great hands. Let me know how it works out for you. Best of luck!

What was the extent of damage to your nose? Did you need grafts? Did you have any loss of septum cartilage?
July 28, 2016
As stated previously, rib and ear cartilage was used to rebuild and straighten my nose. I also have a huge perforation in my upper septum (probably a result of a previous rhinoplasty), however, Dr. Nassif was unable to close it because it was just too big. But he was also ably to straighten my asymmetrical nostrils and lengthen the tip. My allergies have not been a problem since my surgery June 30th, which is amazing to me since I lived on Benedryl and Flornase for years. I would love to post photos, but I need someone to explain how to do it.

ps to upload photos it just gives you the option when you write your own review , excited to hear your nose looks amazing can't wait to see!
July 23, 2016
Congratulations!! Can't wait to follow your journey

Are getting any grafts?
July 24, 2016
He said.. will try to use your own septum, or ear cartilage. In the unlikely chance that it's not sufficient or not apt for use, then the rib would be used. The rib is used as a last resort, but would like to have it available just in case it's needed
July 27, 2016
Hi, I have also read tons of amazing reviews on Dr.Hamilton. I am just curious as to what extent the damage of your nose is. I need rebuilding of my septum and am trying to figure out what the cost may be. I have read that for such repair with Dr.Hamilton it runs from $50,000-$65,000 US and I am from Canada so that would be close to $80,000. I understand if you don't wish to get into those details. Thank you...
August 29, 2016
Oh gosh I have no idea about 50-60 k ! Mine was around 11k and then had to pay for hotel etc.. I had a deviated septum and an inverted V deformity and just generally didn't like the tip etc.. I feel like there was a lot of work.. he did a rib graft but if someone quoted me 50 k i'd run for the hills lol.. is this accurate?! Right now I don't know if I like it yet and really can't comment on my nose because the bandages are all over it and my face looks SO swollen I don't even look like me literally I had grown cheeks on top of my cheeks but as soon as I can judge whether I like I will be posting pics and giving as much details as possible!

Day of surgery

water18
Hey! SO just finished surgery today I believe i went in there at around 10 am and it finished around 5pm ish? Before I went in I was so nervous and Dr Hamilton settled me and his team were very lovely and comforting . I feel completely comfortable in their hands even though this felt like the scariest day of my entire life.

When I woke i really out of it of course and clearly forgot horrible that was so strange that I couldn't even remember that feeling.. I felt so nauseous immediately I hate feeling nauseous so that was really hard for me, I couldn't stomach any food but new that , that was part of the reason why I felt sick. Anyway long story short the nurse took me back to my hotel and around 9pm i started to feel like i could eat or have whatever i eat stay down.. by eat I had a smoothie and toast i mean

My nose right now feels super sore and uncomfortable , there's A LOT of bleeding every time i eat strangely enough it runs with blood , going to call tomorrow and check in on that. A lady called Terry gave me a follow up call this evening which was cool to check in make sure I'm okay and said i can text her any time which I have asked her a couple of questions, i thought 2 am might be a bit extreme so going to text her in the AM about it . I am slightly scared / concerned about taking the thing that covers my nostrils off myself and cleaning that area.. i really am nervous about touching anything quite honestly! I just want everything to heal properly and not to touch anything i shouldn't hoping I can face time them and they can direct me how to do it.

I was told that Hamilton did a rib graft by a nurse, (from someone else's rib) and Hamilton told me that he felt everything went to his plan. He told me before he had already done the surgery in his head which i thought was a good sign that he had been thinking about it , therefore cares about the surgery. I still can not imagine how it's going to look and the before and after photos he showed me are incredible .. there were a lot of things wrong with my nose. I just posted one photo but going to post more befores tomorrow .. but from this one you can see how deviated the septum is , my nostrils are very visible I think and it's a very masculine nose .. the tip is broad and asymmetrical and from most angles it looks totally different... it also has an inverted V.. so quite a lot really...
in my head I am indeed hoping for a miracle but Hamilton feels confident.. so I guess time will tell.

With these bandages on I can see the tip a bit and my only worry is it seems a bit high , I am praying to god it doesn't look piggy like basically that's my idea of the worlds worst nose, but I can't imagine he would be giving me that.. I think if anything it could be something with the swelling? I'll ask tomorrow.

ill be posting more before photos and after every step of the way , I'm grateful for a safe surgery and that there was no complications during surgery.

I am excited to follow up your journey!! thank you for updating

:)
August 27, 2016
Excited for you.
August 27, 2016
The reason your tip may look high is the tape or cast
August 27, 2016
When do you get your cast off?
September 1, 2016
I will be praying so that everything goes well for you. The tip will go down a lot so don't worry about that! I had the same concern and it changed dramatically.

Visibility of nostrils?

water18
does anyone know whether it's normal that the nostrils and nose look upturned RIGHT after surgery? I am concerned the tip looks high and a bit piggy , i really doubt this is the end result but the part of me that had the worlds worst first experience makes me nervous about it : (

That is something I've seen many people report in their reviews - that their tip looks upturned and 'piggy' right after surgery. Seems like a typical stage of the earliest part of recovery. I think you're in the stage where swelling is increasing, then after a day or two you'll turn a corner and it starts to go down. Hang in there - the early stage right after surgery is especially tough. Congrats on making it through surgery - I hope you're able to get some rest.
August 27, 2016
Totally agree
August 28, 2016
Thank you!! Yeah I think it got to it's maximum last night my face is SO huge !
August 27, 2016
I am really interested in seeing your after picture.
August 28, 2016
Hope you're doing well!!! The upturned nose is normal and it definitely will drop! Could you please post pictures :)
August 28, 2016
I truly would love to know how everything turns out and see pics after as I am having surgery with him aswell but not for 6months bcuz am Canadian and need to go thru a bunch of steps to get coverage and such... I bet u will love your results!!
October 17, 2016
yes this is normal this will settle once the swelling goes down
