Hi RealSelf,
I am considering going with Edward Kwak for a rhinoplasty. i have met with him twice and he is excellent. He is extremely nice and took a lot of time with me to explain how the procedure will improve my looks. He clearly has a deep understanding of the nose and the procedure and I am confident that he will do an excellent job, but I'd just like to hear from the RealSelf community if there is anyone on here who has any advise.
Thanks in advance,
Charlotte

Hi Charlotte, I am also in Manhattan looking for a rhinoplasty doctor. I am between about three but I still have yet to meet any of them. Next week I am going to my first consult. I was thinking about consulting with Dr. Kwak as well because he has good reviews and 7,800 (which he quoted for you) seems like a great price. Although, I did just see that he got a negative review about rhinoplasty so now I am scared. How was your consult with him and what was the price of it? How did he get your quoted price - did that include the anesthesia and everything?
October 29, 2015
Yes, there was just a negative review, but I have a completely different nose and situation from that reviewer, so I am not swayed by that review. The price quoted included everything from pre-op to post-op. The price quoted is for an open approach. If I choose a closed approach (tip would not be rotated as much) the cost would be about $5,000. I was able to meet with the doctor free of charge for a 30 min consult. For imaging, it's $150. I hope this helps!

I also liked that he has trained with a famous surgeon in Texas and is on the "super doctors" list.

Thanks so much for answering! Helps so much! Yeah, I thought the same thing - mine is more like your noses and the image looks really amazing! It is such a scary process but it is a really good price... there are some that charge way more! He has so many good reviews and it seems like you really liked him during your consultation!

Have you met with any other doctors or did you just go see him?
October 29, 2015
Yes. I did like him! I met with Robert Morin who I also liked. I just submitted a review about him. Have you met with any drs?
October 29, 2015
Omg, I was thinking about morin too - I feel like I may like him better than kwak but he seems more expensive - I like his noses a bit more in his before and after - but that's all a matter of personal preference - I have to read your review on that - I also was seriously thinking about Dr. Tae Ho Kim - he has a lot of good reviews too - but I just don't know - I have to first meet with everyone but I'm so nervous about deciding!
October 29, 2015
I dont see your review on morin but did you like one better than the other - and if you dont mind me asking - what price did he quote you - b/c I know he has two offices - one in manhattan and one in nj and it is cheaper in nj so I thought about maybe going to the consultation in manhattan and then getting the surgery in nj

Morin's quote was $8,500

I too am considering Kwak for a rhino/septo plastic as I have a hole in my septum and am also considering cosmetic changes. Anyone have a direct experience with a Kwak rhino?

Leaders he is doing my nose at the end of January if you want to check in with me then

Hey...I'm so sorry you weren't happy with your results. I've been. I've been going back and forth on the rhino for years now and it's such a stressful process. What did he say about your surgery post op?

How did your nose turn out?

Hi all,

I'm partial to the first photo from the consult; with the minor tip rotation. It's a bit more feminine to me, but be sure to choose what's most comfortable to you!

Hi! Did you end up getting your surgery from Dr. Kwak? I am considering him for my revision.
December 14, 2016
I'm also considering Kwak for a rhino/septo however I haven't seen a lot of his work and I was worried he mainly worked with Asian onesies. Anyone have any additional feedback to share with me? -Adam-
