Looking for a Surgeon for Ethnic Rhinoplasty - Beverly Hills, CA
ORIGINAL POST
Very difficult looking for a great surgeon...
cannonmalibuNovember 23, 2016
very difficult looking for a great surgeon experienced in ethnic or Black or Asian rhinoplasty. Ive scoured through website after website and I think because Black clients are so discreet that they likely don't allow surgeons to use before and afters on their site. In any event, if you are Black or Asian and had a successful rhinoplasty and would like to recommend your surgeon AND if you can share your Before and after photos. Please reach out to me. So far, the only doc Im interested in seeing is Dr Grigoryants. I live in Los Angeles but will travel anywhere for the right surgeon. Thanks guys. xo

In the LA area I think Dr Hamilton is definitely someone to consider. I've seen him produce some great results. I will also say, there is a doctor in LA named Dr Frankel who actually did my revision and I hate my result. Seen a lot of unhappy patients from him on here.

Thanks for the feedback it's funny that you mention Frankel I actually canceled my consultation with him that was scheduled for last week because of amount of negative reviews that I found. He's one of the highest priced surgeons in LA and it's amazing that he's able to command such high prices considering he has such a high volume of negative and scathing review. Yes I am considering Dr. Frank Dr. Hamilton and I'm also considering Dr. Donald Yoo. Hamiltons aesthetic seems to be really really conservative but I'm willing to consult with him.

Not so much anymore after latest case posted by another member. I swear, the longer one sticks around here, the more awful things come to light about surgeons.
July 2, 2017
Yes... that's true. At this point I would not consider Hamilton. Read some pretty bad reviews on him. Even some of the people that have a Hamilton review on here that once seemed happy with their results don't see to be happy anymore. I liked my meeting with Dr. Yoo but I can't speak to how good or consistent his results are. I just have trust issues with LA / Bev Hills surgeons in general. Many of them seem arrogant and pretentious - and from the results and reviews I see on here, I think they are VERY overrated as well. Dr. David Kim in San Francisco seems like a very sincere doctor though. I met him and really liked him. He also has a really good reputation.

Dr. David Kim is good. I saw one of his revisions on a young guy here on rs and it was incredible. The guy's nose was twisted and collapsed and he lived with it for 10 years before seeking out help from Dr. Kim. I think he's very capable. His prices are about the same as Dr. Yoo. Not sure what you are seeking to do, but Dr. Yoo specializes in long and projected noses. It's a look that I don't like on his ethnic patients, but for a Caucasian patient, it would look appropriate.

Doctor Yapjuangco in the Phillipines (the Icon Clinic) I think is the master of ethnic rhinoplasty. I think I'm going to go to him for mine. You can find him on Instagram (Doc yappy).

Hi,
Thanks for your comment! I do like Dr Yapjuangco's aestethic. Problem is he uses a Goretex implant for rhinoplasties, a material that the body often rejects at some point. I'm not interested in Docs who use implants foreign to the body.

OMG do NOT go to Yajuangco. His noses look terrible in person. They are weirdly tall and unnatural looking. Plus the scarring is horrendous. Do not believe the fuzzy instagram pics.

Like your wish pics.. I consulted with Hamilton and loves his results. I'm AA female and this will be my 3 rd surgery. Choose wisely
February 16, 2017
OMG, what are you doing differently the time around? Aren't you worried about looking 'worked on'? Are you definitely choosing Hamilton?
February 16, 2017
Thank you! I plan on selecting the best Surgeon for me and will keep you all posted. Just two more Docs to consult with.
February 16, 2017
Right now Hamilton is my number 1 choice. Hamilton is not all that conservative. He gives you what you ask for. Some people want subtle and some want obvious change.. last surgery was 10 plus yrs ago and I have met with 3 top surgeons and had great consultations. Not worried about looking operated on. I have some mild deformities that need to be fixed and I am fixing it. As far as what I'm doing differently... I'm researching and taking my time. Last surgeries werent all cosmetic/aesthetically based. Wish you the best

Black Rhinoplasty

Hey you guys. I live in Los Angeles and looking for a surgeon. I have consulted with Dr Soleiman and Litner of BH profiles and have ruled them out. I have also ruled out Dr. Frankle. I am considering consulting with Dr Yoo. and Dr Hamilton because they come highly recommend but I have my reservations about both of them too. Dr. Yoo before and after images seem like the noses look more "bulky" after. and Dr Hamilton;s work seems more conservative. Another surgeon Im considering is Dr. Grigoryants in Glendale although his reviews are hit and miss. I want nose my nose to be more refined, the nostrils brought in, the flare of the nostrils taken in, the tip defined, and columella brought up a bit because it drops too much and an overall straight, refined nose. If you have any feedback let me know..Ill be sharing more journey with you so pull up a chair :)

Sounds good! I wish I would have ruled out Frankel as well, but too late now. Now I'm just suffering with the pain and disappointment of my Frankel-nose and preparing to go through the risk, cost, and recovery or another revision. For black rhinoplasty I'd definitely put Hamilton at the top of the list. He's black himself but is good at all ethnicities. But most importantly he understands what it means to keep the ethnic parts of your nose. Frankel stripped every bit of uniqueness out of my nose and left me with an over shortened pointy little Greek nose. Good on your for doing all the research and reaching out for help. That's puts the odds of a great result highly in your favor. All the best!!
February 15, 2017
Thanks! Will Dr Hamilton be doing your revision? When do you plan on having your procedure?
February 15, 2017
I haven't made my final decision, I have a couple more doctors to meet and talk to, but I have met with Dr. Hamilton and I really like him and his approach. There is a very good chance I'll choose Dr. Hamilton. I'm hoping to have my revision before summer!
February 15, 2017
That's awesome! Summer is just a few months away! Who else are you consulting with if you don't mind me asking?
May 7, 2017
What did you not like about Solieman and Litner? I'm interested in them, but curious as to why the consultation caused you to rule them out. Thank you.
May 7, 2017
I rolled them out based on my feelings that they just would not give me what I wanted I also didn't feel like either of them were on the same page with me in terms of my desired outcome

I rolled them out based on my feelings that they just were not the right doctors from me I just didn't feel like they would give me the outcome that I wanted also with two doctors got to make sure that all three of you are on the same page I did not feel that way . that on one of the doctors really understood the other did not and I need it I need my surgeon to be on the same page with me

Pics of type of noses
cannonmalibuFebruary 15, 2017
Pics of noses I love! Not saying I want any of these noses because of course I need the best nose for my own face however this gives a good sense of the type of nose I'm looking for i.e refined nose, defined tip, nostrils that are not wide etc

Yes, all of those noses are beautiful. How are you making out with your consultations?
February 23, 2017
Hi, my last and final consultation will be March 29th. After that I will be making a decision pretty much right away!
