I had a bad experience with this surgeon. I did not do enough research. If you have a bony nose and no major top issues ( bulbous ethnic protrusion etc) I'm sure he will be fine. If you have an ethnic nose with a wide tip DO NOT SEE this doctor. Will he butcher you ? No. Will you have wasted $$ and be so unhappy that you still write reviews years later? Possible. The photos on his website are dated and old as are the ones in his office. I was lured in by these images.. And while I will not claim they are photoshopped you can tell done are edited after. His bed side manner is non existent and the day of surgery he was running late and all harrowed looking. Our first consult he promised the world and was kind and generous with his time. Our second consult he was short, obnoxious, and said it would barely be a difference. His office manger convinced me he was just having an off day. An off day has messed up my nose. It's not butchered. It's still FAT wide and its also uneven! I'm nervous to post images so he may know who I am and cause a problem? Mods please help me with this perhaps I can crop away so there's no identifiable issues but to be honest all his ethnic noses look alike anyway! He makes them all look like his nose! Long and now I have flared nostrils which I never had before!! One day hopefully I can get a revision and I will warn people against him. For those happy with his results.. Where are the photos??? Again if you have a simple bump on your nose I'm sure he will work wonders. Any tip work needed go elsewhere!!

O and in the photo you can also see the very visible scar at bottom of one nostril that doesn't even bother me as much as the overall horrible shape please just do your research I'm grateful I did not get an infection or have collapse issues or any other deformities that are possible. But what we want is an improvement! I will post photos of my old nose soon.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you're able to get good support from others in the rhinoplasty community.

I had my primary 12 yrs ago and less than a year ago I joined this forum. So I started to educate myself about revision. Next week I have my 10th consult w a doctor who specializes in ethnic rhinoplasty and african rhinoplasty. I hope he can fix my nose.

The problem us that few ps would ve frank ans say they won't operate on you if it's not their specialty. I had consult with an old ps. He took his time to examine my nose longer than any ps I consulted including those who charge for consult. In the end he told me he wouldn't operate on me b/c revision is not his specialty. He referred me to 2 other ps in the area. He didn't even charge me for the consult.

If it really bothers you I would start looking into revision. After more than 10 yrs my nose is still bugging me. I hate taking pictures. I hope I can do it soon.

Thanks to him, my nose is bulky and uneven, with uni tip on right side. Now I'm looking for a revision specialist to fix the mess.
