Just to let you know haw good is Dr. Gikas in what he do. We all have watched Extreme makeover , you know haw plastic surgeons take pictures of what they told your nose will look like and they draw lines of what they will cut. So, Dr. Gikas just came in preop. room, asked how am I, looked at my profile, said "Ok, we're good" and now 40 days after surgery I have the best outcome. Also, at the time of taking out stitches and splint etc. he was very careful and gentle, explained post operative care procedures, what should I be aware of, what should I expect etc.. Just go to his office , you won't make a mistake.

You look beautiful!
Thank you. It's all because of Dr. Elias Gikas. :)
Nah, it's because you have pretty eyes and beautiful hair.
This is insane, you look so gorgeous! I think I made up my mind to have it done here. Do you mind telling how much it cost?

How do you feel!?
When does the numbness wear off?!? I can't stand this runny nose.../:
I feel great. Numbness wears off really quickly only the tip takes longer to wear off. Mine is still numb but just a little bit. Give it a good 2 to 3 weeks and everything will be almost back to normal.

I had problems breathing since a was a child, it got worse lately, so I have decided to consult with a surgeon. So, I went to Dr. Gikas and no one else. He was very helpful, explained what the problem is, and what needs to be done to improve my breathing. I have decided to undergo Rhinoplasty too. And I love my new nose, it's just perfect, it fits my face and.... it's amazing. It has been only 40 days after surgery but I already have great results. I will recommend Dr. Gikas to everyone.

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

Our community members especially love seeing photos from before, during, and after — a realistic look at what they can expect. Photos grab the attention of the community and encourage more support for you.

As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.

Oh, yes I forgot to upload photos at the time I was submitting the review , I was waiting for it to be posted in order to update it. As I said I experienced difficulties breathing that is why I went to see Dr. Gikas.
Nice nose! How much was the procedure
How much was the nose job ?
