Trying to Decide for Indian (ethnic) rhino - Pearlman, Pastorek, Any Other? - New York

Lol but its so hard to tell what he will do to me. I have hink thats he hard part. There r no pictures that u can inspect in ur own time, just the couple of minutes un his office and the noses are not like mine.
Are u happy with it? Did people notice? I think thats another thing im worrid about. I want to look like me ehen i look in mirror

Hi. It's funny I have been commenting on this a lot. No. Nobody noticed. Which kind off bothered me in a way. Though the change was substantial when compared to my before and after it was subtle. I agree that it is a gamble with him in terms of what you will get - and by that I mean - he is not cookie cutter. I believe he makes people look like themselves just better. If someone is looking for a big/change then I usually will direct them elsewhere.

you certainly look like you. and I think you look great. but what worried me is that a couple of people said that they feel like their nose was long and overprojected (even though the onlooker didn't think so).
it's a gamble for sure. even with imaging, it's a gamble. you don't know if you'll get what you so.
did you consult with any other docs before you chose him? which ones? do you know if pastorek used spreader grafts on your nose? have you heard of rizk? his cost is very close to pastorek's - so curious...

The two things you suggest as possible outcomes with pastorek ( long and over projected) are what naw at me, I bat around the idea of a revision with pastorek and talked with him about a tip lift which he had agreed I would benefit from. The overall of my rhino- I am very pleased and don't know that I care enough to go back in.. I also feel like pastorek will give a person the least problems since is so experienced and really a true master. I do, in my perfectionist way- toy with revision.
When choosing I didn't care about cost and I was willing to travel-I did consider rizk but never met with him. He was one that scared me a little because of the PR thing-- I couldn't tell what was real and what was fake. I do think his results are amazing!!! I also considered Babek Azzizedeh in Los Angeles based on feedback from friends there. Natural, beautiful results - real results from someone I trust and had seen his noses in person. I thought about the usuals pearlman, Tobias in NY but everyone scared me. I did meet with Phillip Miller who I thought was amazing but this was after my primary rhino - I went to get a second opinion on my healing...To whichMiller said " pastorek is world class- he did an amazing job"
So, I dunno. It's hard to choose. I just felt like pastorek was the hands down best for me because I gelled with him, love his passion for his work and the fact that he writes the textbooks that the others learn from. I kept landing on him and still do, even when thinking of revision.
To answer your question--He ( pastoral) was the only surgeon I ended up interviewing, I just knew when I met him.
Pastorek did not use spreader grafts on my nose- I don't think. I have to admit. I didn't ask a lot of questions about the actualities of the procedure.
Sorry to ramble!

I loved his personality. I really felt like i felled with him too. I go back and forth too about whether i should go with him. On one hand i do want a longish nose, my husband says that my nose will stay longish, but i worry about the over projection. My nose dips down right now, and if lifted it will become projected. He did tell me he will de project but i dont know by how much. Do u think if i take my own imaging, he will be willing to discuss whether its achievable or not? I already had two appointments with him, i dont think a third one will be covered in the initial consult fee.

why did you think that the other doc's morphs were not acievable? did he also suggest a ridge graft (?) that is near the forehead meets the nose? Curious about Pastorek's vs other's aesthetics....
thanks for your advice and support!

who in nj? i know the photo got put up incorrectly, and now i can't change it.

Hi there,

When you hover over your photo an option to "rotate" should come up. :) If that doesn't work, PM me and I will help.

I took the pics off,i didnt feel like they are needed to address my post concerns
