Beverly Hills in DC! - McLean, VA

While visiting family in LA last summer I had consults with 2 famous surgeons. The consult fee was $250 for one and the other was $500 so I didn’t see him. The surgeon I saw was highly recommended by friends in LA and I felt very comfortable with him. He was happy to do my surgery but suggested that since I live in DC he was comfortable referring me to his friend Dr. Mesbahi. I had my rhinoplasty with Dr. Mesbahi almost 9 months ago. I had a long nose with a large bump and wide tip. My biggest worry was having a fake looking nose after surgery. Immediately in the consultation I felt at ease with Dr. Mesbahi and his staff. His nurse Louisa helped me with my 3D pictures and Christine was very comforting during my consult and visit prior to surgery. I was shocked at first to see my morphed images. He explained to me that they were just to give me an idea and assured me that he does not do or like the fake look. I believed him based on the pictures I saw on his website. After I tried to convince him to make the nose look bigger on the computer he told me that if I did not like the images he changed then he may not be the best match for me as a surgeon. Right then I knew I wanted him to do my operation.
I was initially worried about how my nose looked when the splint came off. However he reassured me that it was very early and it would improve rapidly over the next few weeks. I had to tape my nose at night for about 4 weeks. By one month I could already tell I was going to love my nose but the tip stayed swollen for a long time and I was told that it may still take up to a year or longer to see the full change. Dr. Mesbahi explained that it was because of cartilage grafts he placed. But even if it stayed this way forever I could not be any happier. It looks natural and not pinched or upturned like so many of my friends that had nose jobs look like. He is very detail oriented and was patient with all of my questions before and after surgery. The cost was totally worth it and actually less than my quote in California. I feel like I got a Beverly Hills surgery here at home!
