Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

3 Weeks - Before and After
Hi all,
I am posting full face photos today but will most likely remove in a few days. I just wanted to give you all a better idea of the results.
The healing journey continues. The scar is well hidden but still feels stiff, especially when I smile... and nose is still swollen. But I see small improvements every day. Probably the hardest thing for me is adjusting to the new look. When I look in the mirror, I don't recognize myself and I feel like I look strange! like a little animal or something?...I can't really explain it ;o). My surgeon says that is totally normal and my brain will adjust.
I have way more tooth show than I did before which I love. Obviously the philtrum distance is reduced quite a bit (18mm to 10mm) and I assume once I adjust to my new look, I will love it. In the meantime I let my body do the healing and try to take great care of the scar :o). Thanks all for sharing this journey and for all the encouraging words.

2 Weeks Post Op
Day 11 (yesterday) with make up
I'll post a photo of the scar with no make up later. It is a bit red but that is expected so early in the healing process. Dr. Samaha uses a single stitch that goes under the skin, so there is no pulling/scarring from individual stitches. I think that is a good thing.
I am very happy with the results, but one thing I did not expect is having difficulty adjusting to my new look....which is entirely psychological. Soon, it will become the new normal ;).

Provider Review
Dr. Samaha and his staff are very kind and professional and extremely skilled. They treated me like family on the day of the surgery. I would not hesitate to refer my greatest friends to Dr. Samaha, and I will return as the needs arise.
