Do not go to Srour for anything above the neck-- you will regret It

ORIGINAL POST

Do not go to srour for your rhino of you're...

$4,000
Do NOT go to srour for your rhino of you're African American/ ethnic!!!!!!!You will have so many regrets and shame on me for not trusting my instincts. I'd been thinking about getting a nose job for a couple of years and finally was ready to go for it..I found a great promo for him on Groupon and wondered why if he was a great doctor was he promoting his practice on a discount website. I would say I did half my due diligence on yelp and real self but at the end of the day, I made a deal with the devil... Trying to save a few thousand dollars at the expense of my face...I emailed him pics, his office called me back a few days later and he explained what he wanted to do for me... As I'm not a surgeon it all sounded so good!! At that time, I also sent him picks of my wish nose which were very similar to my God given nose just smaller.... He was the first office I contacted and the first red flag was when I explained to his office person Alina when she was ready to book me after Srour talked to me that I wanted to look at other options, she said OK, I understand it's a big decision-- let me know if you have any other questions sweety'(she'll butter you up and call you SWEETY &HONEY while she's trying to close the sale and get you booked -- haha)Sadly, after I told her I was still shopping around that day, she thought she'd hung up the phone with me but didn't and she went on and on for a good five minutes talking to srour about how she couldn't believe that after all the time she'd spent with me that I still wanted to look at other places and how I was a waste of her and the doctors time.. I let her finish with her rant to him then called her back to call her unprofessional ass out, she felt stupid and apologized.. At that point I should have known better.I prayed and kept researching other options but something said go with him and things would work out...... NO NO NO---- I'm so mad at myself for letting him touch my face...I ended up going in a few months ago and the pics in his 'photo album' & that she emailed me are outdated and don't show good results...The day of the procedure I was so scared... The office had blood on the floor which totally freaked me out and it didn't feel right... Dirty, small, dark... He has a VERY POOR beside manner and no offense but he stinks -- try to shower at least once a day.... You're a doctor for Goodness sake!!!Considering it was the first time we met the day of my surgery, I was hoping we could spend at least 15 -25 minutes having him look at me in person and listening to what my goals were... But no...he was rushed, short and rude... Should have left!!!I turned to Alina with my fears & concerns before I got put under and she turned on the charm and reassured me I was in good hands... I don't know how she sleeps at night...He performed the surgery & I was in shock when he showed me the mirror afterwords... My previous nostrils that had a beautiful 'v' shape and just needed to be made smaller...now looked like the Jackson's/ Tamar..I was in total disbelief that he chopped my natural shape away and just threw my skin away without regard to maintaining the natural shape of my nostrils... SO DEVASTATED!!!Next day I go back and he's rough and rude to me.. I was in tears--- this man's lack of skill ruined my face and he had zero compassion towards me.. Do NOT let his cheesy artwork on the walls of his office fool you!!! Please---- unless you want a fake ugly looking nose--pay the little bit extra and go to a better doctor more importantly a better person... Not ethical as they didn't want me to purchase the groupon through the site.. Alina acted like she was doing me a favor by honoring the same price through them, but in all reality she was looking out for their bottom line bc they got out of paying groupon their fee and I'll be contacting them about the shady business practices and the botched job..I was more attractive before.. Will be attaching before and afters soon, let me know your thoughts..I'm four months post op, they gave me no post care info other than massaging, no follow up calls, no worries about my concerns. I met with him three months after and tried to express my concerns but he was too busy saying what a great job he did.. HaSaving for a revision... Even if he offered me a refund and offered to do a revision for free ==== Hell no!!!!!I hope this helps... I'm looking at other doctors for my revision which won't be for another 9 months... Oh well, gives me time to save..I hope this helps even at least one person out there from making the same mistake as me.

he is not good with facial enhancements for African American/Ethnic-- He's rude, uncaring and most of all not qualified to do certain procedures-- Alina will treat you like a queen/king until they get your money-- then her demeanor changes-- don't be fooled and don't depend on a discount for your face-- YOU WILL REGRET!! Ladies and Gentlemen (esp of ethnic races) PLS DO NOT GO TO THIS PERSON for any facial work! Take my experience to heart or you will regret going to him for a lifetime! I had my rhino done in Feb of this year and from start to now it has been a total nightmare-- a bad dream I wish I could wake up from! I found his so called practice on Groupon - that should have been my first clue-- Good doctors are not perfect, but they charge more and don't need a discount to gain new clients. It's your face and you owe it to yourself to get the best service possible! I called to ask if he was good with African American noses and Alina the office manager assured me he was amazing esp with that type of nose-- from that point I did my due diligence-- the yelp reviews were hit and miss and I have since come to realize that there are some fake reviews on there (and here-- BEWARE)!!!! I have so much info in this person and his practice that I could write a book! Instead of doing the entire review all at once, I'm going to break it down in segments. I don't believe in badmouthing anyone but I don't want anymore innocent people to go here without knowing the GOOD: Cheap (don't put a sale price on your face- you'll regret it) BAD: Not competent in ethnic nose jobs (or anything facial) UGLY: He is rude, has NO compassion, he is a narcissist - he has NO patience with his patients-- haaa NO follow up calls, NO after care tips (other than a rough massage he shows you how to do in 10 seconds before he sends you on your way, NO clean and relaxing OR-- It was dirty (had dirty mops and brooms in the room-- Blood on the floor) NO personal hygiene-- as a professional health care provider you owe it to your clients to be clean and have no odor and to not wear dirty scrubs! He stunk, the room was filthy (blood on the floor and on his scrubs as well), and did't use gloves when touching me(YUK)-- I went to see him for my first follow up visit in May and expressed my concerns to him-- he blew me off and tried to tell me how great my nose looked and how he wished everyone had the same wonderful result--- REALLY??? This is where I need your help Real Selfers!! I purposely didn't label my before and afters bc I need YOUR opinion as to which looks better-- I would really love your honest feedback. I have already convinced myself that I'll be getting a revision next year because I'm so devastated about the outcome. I waited 4 months to post because I wanted to be as fair to him as possible (even after the poor treatment I received) but at this point, I'm left with a crazy mess where my nose used to be-- Your input is greatly appreciated and I have MUCH more I'll be sharing about my experience-- stay tuned and stay positive! I will keep you guys posted on my revision

Wow, I'm so sorry . Your nose is just not the style you like . He gave you more of an ethnic type nose that a middle eastern person would have. Your wish pic is something ghavami does. He does that same exact style nose for African American women . Again, I'm so sorry for your dissatisfaction . It's painful, I know first hand . I hope you get this resolved to your liking when time allows it . Xx
Great review by the way.
You are only 4 months post Op. It really does take a year to see the final results. I felt the same way and thought I needed a revision too. Dr Srour did my nose job last summer. I'm African American too. At first my nose was very swollen and looked so ugly... but after like 6 months it started to look great and continued I improve and shrink. I love my new nose. It has now been like 18 months. I like how it's not a DRASTIC OBVIOUS nose job though. Who wants that obvious plastic muppet look? I will say It definitely was a gamble because the face is something serious but back then i just wanted a change asap. I feel super lucky that i really like it. My only concern is that it's slightly uneven, But my natural nose might've been uneven as well, who knows. It's not noticeable enough to warrant a revision
Thank you for your review . I went yesterday to with my husband and before I made that long drive to LA I should've checked the reviews first . Everything you said sounds right , what really caught my attention is how HIS HYGIENE IS HORRIBLE. Now I am terrified if I should even get my nose done at all . I was disappointed how the price is what caught my eye , but when I got there they changed up the price. It went from being a "March Special " $2,390 online to $5,000
As soon as my consultation finished the price went up out of nowhere , Alina said it was all of a sudden $5000?!? I don't have a lot of money & I have been wanting my nose done since I was a little girl (because I was teased about it so much) Anyways thank you again for your review , I will be saving myself a trip & dissappoinment ..I'll be shopping around else where. You are so right about not putting a price on my face . I'm sorry your nose didn't come out the way you expected , but believe me when I say you have saved me so much time & money to actually search elsewhere . Alina (receptionist) doesn't even seem sincere at all and she's just looking for a sale. She doesn't even care. I didn't get anything done there , but I went in for my consultation yesterday. I did NOT like how the doctor STINKS SO BAD. THAT WAS REALLY A RED FLAG . Again, thank you for your honesty .
Also, I am Samoan (different ethnicity ) so I would hate for him to F up on my nose as well. And in all honesty I was reviewing your pics of your nose , it's not bad but I honestly feel he could've evened out the bottom tip and smoothened it up (aligning it with your nostrils) that's exactly why I want to get my nose done ...to align the bottom tip with my nostrils.
