I was a victim of a bad surgeon and had 3 previous nose jobs. Thanks to Dr.Laufer all my nightmares are over. I love my new nose! He is such a great doctor and the nicest one I have ever been to. Great experience with the entire staff! They along with dr.L made the process very pleasant and worry free!

Looks very nice! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and photos. How was your recovery different this time than the first few?

Oh thank you. Well I had a LOT more swelling and bruising this time around. Dr. Laufer said with revisions it's common. I virtually had no pain and did not take any meds. It was an open procedure with packing. Very little bleeding and I could get some air through around the packing so I wasn't too claustrophobic feeling. I guess the hardest part was just getting antsy wanting to get out of the house but, of course not wanting to be seen. Also it took every bit of 2 weeks before I could hide the bruises. Wish I had invested in good cover up prior. I just had artefill done in my cheeks by dr. L also. He did a great job on that too.

Adding a few front view pictures. The before photos are fuzzy but, the gist is that my nose was a ball of unsupported tissue. I had been getting fillers in the area close to the right eye for years. The original bad surgeon, Dr. Sheinbaum in Brandon had destroyed that area. There was no bone or support on the inner corner of my eye. The lid was sagging into the corner and the feeling was a great annoyance. The whole nose was structurally a wreck according to Dr.Laufer and he had his work cut out for him. He successfully moved the bone close to my eye and it feels better. He also took cartilage from my ear and molded the tip so it had shape and support. He cleaned out old filler product and if after all is healed and I feel any tweaking needs to be done it will be a clean canvass and Dr. L is my guy! I have had 5 visits to him so far. Each one a pleasant experience. I'm just so impressed with him. He listens, is very patient and he has a great personality. I hope he never retires. If you need work done don't miss out on this guy!
Thank you so much for sharing your opinion about your doctor.
