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.

7 Months On....
So... 7 months is finally here!!!
I purpously have not written any reviews for a while, as I wanted to be patient and give my nose time to heal more. I thought 7 months is a good time to update my review.In terms of swelling and redness there has been a fair amount of improvement. However, I am very dissapointed with the overall outcome of my nose. Initially I was just unhappy with the columella, but loved the shape. It seems that I rushed into writing my review without really getting to see the true results. But I guess most people do the same. What I have experienced, is that my nose has constantly been changing. I noticed as swelling goes down, it then reveals the imperfections.The things I am unhappy with at this 7 month stage are:-The bump on bridge on my noseA dent on the tipUneven nostrilsBadly sewn overlapped collumellaIndented V starting to form on bridge (indent on one side visible)Lumps inside nostrilsStitches in nose getting infectedVisible scars at nostrilsStiches visible from nostrilsConstant runny nose 24/7Conjested noseVisible scarring from side profileNose bends to one sideOne nostril is more indented than the otherI am only 5 months away from the prime 12 month period of having the final result of rhinoplasty and I am really worried I will get even more problems as they swelling continues to go. I have been really depressed about everything so I have been keeping myself busy with the gym, since I cannot work.I will update again later down the line, but for now I have included some images as reference.Let me know your thoughts.Last updated by bness on November 26, 2016

5 Months Post Op
Hello to everyone who has been following my rhinoplasty journey.
I firstly wanted to tell you all how much I have really appreciated your support through this tough time, and sorry I have not been very active on here. It is now 5 months post op and I have noticed my nose changes all the time.
I also wanted to take the opportunity to let you know that everything I have posted in my reviews has been from my true experiences. My words are 100% honest, even though the truth may not be appreciated but some. I am not a spiteful person or part of a 'witch hunt'. I am just here to be real and tell it how it is to help others realise the reality of surgery.
No matter which surgeon you choose, there is always a risk. But, when patients have to delete bad reviews to keep a surgeons reputation, that is where the issue lies because we don't see a true representation of their work or potential complications that can occur.
Because of the negative reviews appearing and disappearing in a short space of time, this is what causes rumors, suspicion and mistrust amounts everyone. I will always be here to advise in any way I can and help those going through similar situations to me.
Now onto my update....
So my nose used to be really wide and swollen once the cast came off, but it's starting to slim down now and slowly get more definition. The columella swelling has improved a lot and it isn't so red as it was before, but unfortunately it still is not aligned properly and the scar is visible from the sides.
I was offered a revision back in May, but I told Lisa I wanted to wait and see how my nose healed first. I just felt it was way too soon for me to make any decisions or risk any further problems.
I won't be doing anything until the full year has passed, because I wont see the full results until then.
The shape of my nose I loved post op, and it was only really the columella that spoilt it.
At the moment I have an indent on my left nostril and my nose bends to one side with a slight bump. I also have an indent on the tip. I read a few other people had some of these issues too so it seems quite common??
I am hoping it is just swelling..... I will give you an update further down the line.
Well I look forward to catching up with you all and seeing some of your new noses ;-)
Lots of love [RS bleep]

3 months post - Deformed, dented, deviated & depressed!!
Well the title says it all. I have not posted on here as needed time to mentally get over the trauma of my nose and hoped Id heal better. I couldnt have been more wrong...
As time has gone on more packing has come out and still continues to, which I am sure has been disguising some of the badly done surgery.
My nose used to be a nice shape at the early stages as you can see from pics but its now curving from the front and dramatically changing shape looking bent. My collumella remains the same and no improvements there.
Nostril area seems to be collapsing so breathing is more difficult.
I have a deep dent forming on tip of nose. It randomly came out of nowhere. I noticed some other patients have the same.
I was offered an immediate revision 5 weeks post op (arent you meant to wait 8 months to a year)
Either way, I am so glad I did not say yes. Id never allow him to touch my nose again and create more damage that is already done.
I will not be posting images on here at this time due to numerous reasons.... however if you wish to get in touch please PM me.

Provider Review
I chose Dr Tahery based upon his 5* reviews and how lovely he was in person, as well as his staff. I've had a lot of up's and down throughout the procedure. I initially loved the shape of my nose, but over the months it has dramatically changed, as well as numerous other issues. I am now having to save for revision.
