Very Happy with Dr. Rahban's Work! - Beverly Hills, CA

I had been thinking about getting a nose job for as long as I can remember. I always felt self-conscious about it and didn't like to be photographed. I had been saving for it since I was 18, so it was a HUGE decision deciding on a doctor. The procedure was done a month and a half ago (along with a chin implant), and I am extremely happy with the results.

When I first met with Dr. Rahban I was really intimidated by his demeanor. He is very matter-of-fact and told me my results might not be what I'm hoping for because of my ethnic nose and thick skin. I was really disappointed after my consultation, but I really liked the fact that he didn't sugar coat anything. He also recommended a chin implant to even out my profile (which I ended up adding onto the procedure). I consulted with two other doctors and did hours upon hours of research of other doctors in Los Angeles. His positive reviews, experience with ethnic noses, and great before/after photos led me to choose him for the surgery.

I had one more consultation before the surgery and his assistant led me through all pre/post-op instructions, and I spoke to the Dr. one more time. I was extremely nervous the day of surgery. I don't have any family in LA and hadn't told anyone I was going in that day. I cried and completely questioned my sanity for deciding to operate on my face!! The surgery went very smoothly and afterwards a friend drove me home (I was definitely super loopy on the pain meds). The recovery period was not as bad as I thought it would be! I took a week off of work (would definitely recommend that) and watched Netflix and drank smoothies. There was honestly no pain- just slight discomfort from my nose being blocked up with gauze!

I've had a few more appointments since my surgery. I didn't like the results after the first week when the bandages were taken off. My face was SO swollen, and I was not prepared for that! After two weeks, the majority of the swelling went down and now at 6 weeks, I LOVE my nose and chin. I'm so happy that Dr. Rahban recommended the chin implant. It looks great!

I think it's important for people to have realistic expectations about plastic surgery. If you want to look perfect, it's not for you. Dr. Rahban helped my set realistic expectations- I'll never have a tiny, cute nose but I do have a smaller nose that doesn't distract from my smile anymore. So grateful to Dr. Rahban and his staff! I feel so much happier with my appearance and my confidence has definitely increased.
