Love Love His Ethnic Rhinoplasty

WORTH IT
I had my Rhino Plath surgery the second week of June 2019. I wasn't super nervous until I got on the 11th floor for the surgery. I have 2 small kids and I parent alone so every decision I make must be a smart one. I always knew I wanted Dr.Ghavmi since my first consult in 2012. Dr. Ghavmi work on rhinoplasty is just so much superior to all the surgeons who work I looked at. He's a pro at the tip and bottom have on the nose and bridge of course. Many other doctors don't really do much to the bottom half of the nose they just straighten the bridge and leave the person with their not so charming lower bottom half of their nose. Back in 2012, I just didn't have the money for the surgery, so I did other things with the 5-10k in I had saved. The next year I had got into a emotionally abusive relationship with a NPD, left that evil and had kids to raise. I spent most of the years trying to find me again and realizing my life can't just be only about my kids happiness. Fast forward better credit and happier in life I was able to afford paying for the surgery with Amex loan and Alphaeon.

What is his price range I love his work I think he will be my best bet but I’m like you I have to get my financial situation together to afford him but his work is well worth it

My nose job was $18k and some change. You should put aside $500 extra for your pain prescription pills, antibiotics, neck pillow, gauges, lab work etc. They gave me a RX discount card for the pharmacy to get my prescription. My prescription with the discount was $114. I brought $65 worth of supplies neck pillow, antibiotics, cough drops etc.

If you just have a hump on your nose, many qualified doctors can fix that. That's not complicated. If you want your bottom area of your nose he in my option is the Top choice. I didn't find anyone all over as good as him. He's probably the top or at least top 3 in the world. Yeah the price is high but he is The Best or one of the best. I used Amex loan and Alphaeon. I could have just used Alphaeon and added a 1,000 or used my Amex personal loan for the whole thing but I had other things I wanted to do so I used a little from each. My credit score was like 735-748 so Alphaeon approved me for $17,500, I only used 10,000 from them. In reality I shouldn't have used that much for them, only 30% or less because it dropped my score to like 670. Amex personal loan didn't even run my credit, I do have a credit card with them.

Thanks for the reply yes I was expecting his price range to be such mainly because of where he’s located and because his work is 100 percent on point. I have a ethnic nose the bridge is wide and thick bulbous tip as well hell im scared to get a quote

Hi how are you healing? I am considering Ghavami for a revision but I read so many bad reviews that I’m just confused! I have a Middle Eastern nose and I picked him because that’s a specialty of his. It’s been a few months for you now so I’m just wondering... Are you satisfied with your results?
October 13, 2019
I am very satisfied. I think the bad reviews come from ppl put off by his demeanor. I can see how some say he can come off as arrogant and dismissive. I have a best friend that if you don't know her you assume she's stuck up or mad dogging you. I almost got into a fight in middle school because someone thought she was mad dogging them but she really wasn't. To be truly honest with you, if your looking for someone who's warm and down to Earth, go straight to Chammy in the office. Chammy is invaluable to that office. Chammy is on her game, she stays on top of things and remembers details about ppl!
Dr. Ghavami gets you beautiful physically but Chammy makes you feel special like your in the room with family or a good friend. Chammy is beautiful inside and out. Chammy is behind the doors not in the front, so don't get put off by the receptionists in the front. The ppl in the front could be a tad nicer and friendlier , they can sometimes give the vibe like you are all at a open model call and competing for a few spots. The ladies in the front, could greet people more, smile more and stay on top of when ppl spots are over. However, Once you get behind the door, the two ladies in the back are were you feel like your chatting with good friends. If you like really friendly ppl just wait until you get behind the door to feel the warm welcoming vibe. I get the office is in Beverly Hills, (expensive parking) but one can still get warm feeling of everyone knows your name "Cheers" vibe minus the alcohol. Maybe some donuts or fruit snacks/ chocolates in the front for those who don't have surgery that day. I think having treats help ease ppl nerves and Usually put them in a good mood.

From looking at all the different before and after Rhinoplasty Dr. photos of Patients, Dr. Ghavami is the Best or at least one of the top five Best in the World for Ethnic noses. I am not a rich girl or close to it, the price was very hard for me to manage. I looked at hundreds of docs work online in state, And out of state and none matched his skill for Ethnic noses. I know some ppl are going to a Turkey doc out there, who work does look good but my instincts told me Dr. Ghavami. For 7 years, I still feel not many docs have taken the time to get as good as Dr. Ghavami for their Ethnic Rhino clients . Dr.Ghavami Does loves recreating noses, you can hear the passion in his voice, noses are his callin!. Dr.Ghavami is truly skilled! I do feel he could be more welcoming, more sweet and considerate with his words. If you want to feel compassion, go straight to Chammy. Go to Ghavami because he knows what he's doing but be prepared if he might come off as a little cold. No one is perfect. I think some ppl miss out on his Great work because they are little not sure about his tone and the price is not affordable for everyone even with payment plans. I think when it comes to the nose, it's worth the price because it last pretty close to forever unlike other procedures. I don't think any of those things should stop people for seeking out the best doc for the job, There's plenty of doctors that are very sweet, kind, charming personality but only deliver okay or crappy work. If you just need a bump removed from your nose, any trained rhino doc can do, but if you want good work done to your bottom of your nose, you have to go to one of the Best. Head over to Chammy's door to feel additional warmth and appreciation!

It would be nicer if Dr. Ghavami was more friendlier and down to Earth to strangers/ clients. I don't know why he appears cold at times. He's a Sagittarius, I read and I am one, and most Sagittarius or least November's are usually really cool and easy going. However, I know before my nose job, I looked mad most of the time. So ppl assumed I was mean until they talked to me and I realize how sweet and easy going I am. Luckily, I did smile a lot else the whole world would assume I have a attitude for no reason other than my nose shape . Go to Chammy, Chammy is the one who checked up on me, who said "Thank you" after the small gift I sent, Chammy is the one with always all the comforting words. I wish Dr. Ghavami would have personally called to check on me considering he had to leave before I woke up. I read he's married with kids, so maybe he's trying to keep distance so much because he's a man and they have to be extra professIonal when dealing with clients. But a call from him with his wife on the line, would have been nice. All in all, I would still chose him again and still refer him, I would suggest if you need extra comfort, go straight to Chammy. Go with the male to put you to sleep, he's so funny and caring. My nose looks great! The healing is great, no pain! I have a very tiny tiny scar but that's expected with open Rhino but my nose look natural and Beautiful. Dr. Ghavami was worth the wait, I knew since 2012 I wanted him and I am glad I was able to afford to go to his office.


Short Version, YES I WOULD GO TO DR. GHAVAMI AGAIN and chat with Chammy for additional support❤️.

I only have to tape at night for a week. I am going to tape at night more than that. Also, I was told a infrared red light wand can help with the swelling blood circulation. I will buy one later, I have a 10 watts one already at the house.

Hi!! I’m glad you’re happy. I’m considering him for a revision. How are your nostrils? Are they even now? Could you post an updated photo?
July 9, 2019
They are still uneven if you are looking all into my nostrils from upside down. That's normal swelling takes time especially on thick skin.
July 18, 2019
Hey glad you're happy how much did you pay
December 29, 2019
A little over 18k but worth it, cause it last longer than a new car does
