Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Dr Trenite?
Anyone knows about dr Trenite? Still looking for a surgeon, and I've heard good things of this one, but sadly there are not many reviews about him. Anyone knows or have any experience with him?
I've also been told about Gubisch, in Germany. Still less info about him.
Thanks!

Consultation with dr Palma
I update the review to say that I finally went to see dr Palma all the way to Milano. Even though it was a really expensive flight+consultation (220E) I decided to give it a go since he's supposedly so famous about Rhinoplasty.
I couldn't be more disappointed. I was the first patient of the afternoon and the dr came 40 min late to the clinic, so I waited there while the patients after me started to come. After asking me some questions about my previous procedures he asked me what I wanted to be done, briefly explored my nose and then proceeded to take a lot of pictures of my nose. At the end he didn't say much, he only told me he would study them and get back to me via email, that my case was a really hard case and would only operate if there was a high probability of success.
The whole consultation didn't even reach 30 min, after paying a lot of money and flying to a different country. I was not expecting such a rushed thing, but I guess I should have expected it when I went in 40 min late. I did not expect to spend most of my consultation time getting pictures so he could analyze them later on. I won't criticise much about how he works, as he's the professional, but if the most important part of that important trip was only to get my pictures, why do I need to go over there, instead of just reviewing the pics I sent through the email?
It truly felt like I just wasted a lot of money, but I decided to wait for the email and see, maybe he would send me an outstanding analysis of my nose with morphs and such, and I'd be blown out by how meticulous he is, as other reviews point out.
A few weeks later the email came in, he briefly told me my case was too hard so he would not operate it. That's it. I have to say that he is polite and nice in the face to face communication, I don't inted to bring him down or anything, but I can't recommend anything else about it if anyone is lloking for reviews about him. Although I agree the honesty of saying he can't fix my case and not destroying my nose out of greed, it totally feels like completely wasted money.
Back to square one

Consuming surgeons
I've been consulting some surgeons for the revision and it's pretty discouraging. I've contacted the best Turkey ones and flew over there, and they lose interest in the surgery as soon as they see how complex my case is. My advice to anyone thinking about Turkey is just don't, unless you're an already pretty girl with a pretty straight forward rhinoplasty so they can upload it to their website. Really disappointed about the surgeons there
I've also contacted a couple of surgeons from netherlands, but they stopped replying too after seeing my photos.
I've consulted about a dozen of other less known surgeons in some countries, most of them willing to do the procedure, but I don't think they're among the best.
Also contacted some doctors from the US, like Toriumi, Lamperti... That tell me it would be a surgery with close to no warranties, but with quotes of 20-30k. Are we crazy? Are you going to charge me 30k for a couple of hours of surgery and don't even give me any hope about the procedure? This is what I call a Mafia. I think the US is out of the question with policies like these... I hope one day the laws will change and will make surgeons vulnerable so we can avoid the horrible stories of those botched or undergoing multiple revisions. It's disgusting.
Despite all I'm given my last chance to it, I'll be seeing a surgeon in Beverly hills this week, we'll see.
Also I'll be flying to Milano next week to have a consultation with Pietro Palma. I hope he's as great as they say he is.
I also update another pic about my nose deviation if anyone is interested.
Take care
