Amazing and Life Changing Experience - Beverly Hills, CA

I was dealing with severe insecurity as a result of my displeasure with my nose. My nose consisted of a long bridge and a bump that caused it to protrude from my small face. I avoided pictures and lacked confidence as well as being subjected to negative comments from other teens that were hurtful. I was about to enter my senior year of high school and desperately wanted to feel better about myself. Fortunately, a friend of the family referred us to Dr. Minniti.

I was very nervous, as well as my mom at the thought of undergoing any surgery, particularly to the area of my body that is initially the first that others see. It's not as if you can cover it with clothing or makeup. During my consultation, it took only a few moments with Dr. Minniti to know that in the event of a decision to proceed, he was my doctor of choice. He was kind, sensitive, and truly listened to my stories and the reasons for which I desired change. He shared some of his own personal stories and that of anonymous others.

I never felt pressured to make a decision regarding time frame or to choose him. He explained the pre/post-op procedure in detail and prepared me for not only the physical aspect, but of normal emotional concerns. Dr. Minniti had the technology to show me how my nose would look/resemble after a Rhinoplasty. When I saw the before/after photos I couldn't stop sobbing. Tears also filled my mom's eyes as well as Dr. Minniti's (sorry Doc, you’re a sensitive guy). It was emotional and life changing. His entire staff was very compassionate as well as the staff at the surgical center and the Anesthesiologist.

The follow-up phone calls and visits after my procedure were just as considerate. Lots of smiles and laughter all around. Lastly, my results were amazing. I smile all the time now and this experience has helped me project a spirit about myself that only those close to me experienced before the procedure. Thank you Dr. Minniti, you are a true artist. You and your entire staff are truly wonderful.
