This will be a long review but I need to fully explain how much Dr. Reish changed my life.
Let’s begin in 2018 before I ever met or knew of Dr. Reish, I had another doctor fix my very very large bulbous nose which also had a slight deviation, nothing too bad to do in its own but in conjunction with cosmetic it made sense to do both at the same time. So this doctor did my nose in 2018 and I gave it a full year to see the results. After the year I still did not like my nose it was still very large, uneven, and not what we discussed at all. So I gave this doctor another chance to do a revision, of course trusting he knew what he was doing and able to give me the nose I always wanted. 2019 I had my 2nd surgery, a revision rhinoplasty. Again I gave this a full year to heal and see the results and lo and behold... I hated it. Again. I was so upset and now my septum was even MORE deviated than the first time! It was so bad I could see it sticking out on the left side. I had polyps/bumps inside my nose, I couldn’t breathe well, it was a nightmare. I was desperate to find a new doctor who could help me. Someone who would listen to me, tell me the truth of what’s doable and what’s not, someone to fix my breathing again but also give me this cute nose I’ve been after my whole life. I researched on RealSelf for months, I was looking at doctors all over, I emailed and spoke to others and I just still wasn’t “sold” I didn’t feel like I found “the one” I had lost all faith in doctors due to my previous surgeries and I was terrified to trust someone else. I came across Dr. Reish, he had a good amount of 5* reviews, actually all 5* reviews, no one had anything bad to say about him. His before and after photos looked great, I looked him up on Facebook and I saw actual patients that sent in their before and afters and selfie pictures not just the professional ones they take at the office. I saw so many people happy with their noses, I saw so many amazing nose profiles I thought to myself, let’s just do a consultation. Literally the next morning I had a text message from Dr. Reish himself and an email from his assistant. I was shocked. No one ever gets back to you this quickly. I texted him back and that same day I was able to do a FaceTime consultation! I spoke with him and I felt he actually listened to me, he let me ramble on and explain what I didn’t like and what I wanted changed. He explained in detail what he would do to address my concerns, he let me ask questions and I never felt rushed. I felt he truly and genuinely cared about helping me. I got off the FaceTime and I said to myself, this is the one. I scheduled an in person consult, was able to see him relatively quickly in the NYC office, and I was even more sure he was the doctor I had been searching for. I immediately scheduled my surgery for revision rhinoplasty and for a chin implant and didn’t think twice. Leading up to surgery whenever I had questions, I texted Dr. Reish and he answered the same day in between surgeries. I never had to do any follow up calls with his office, they always called me. Natalie was amazing she was my surgical coordinator and she is on top of everything. You never have to chase her down or call multiple times like other practices and offices. Natalie was super sweet, informative, and never bothered by my many questions and phone calls.The day of surgery I was extremely scared anxious nervous, everything. I wanted this to be my last revision rhinoplasty ever, I wanted to breathe and have a cute functioning nose. I was seen very quickly at MEET hospital in NYC, I wasn’t in the waiting room long at all. They checked me in, filled out paperwork and I was already going up to my room to wait for surgery. The nurses were very kind one in particular I believe her name was Kayla, she was making me laugh, keeping my mind off surgery while she got my medical history, signed some more forms, and got me ready for surgery.Next I saw Dr. Reish, we went over everything again I was so ocd I printed out pictures of what I wanted and angles of my nose and chin and what I didn’t like. Again he didn’t rush me he listened to everything I had to say he made me feel better going into surgery. Next I saw the anesthesiologist, Marc Tannenbaum. Marc is my absolute favorite and so so sweet and caring. I told him my issue of my last 2 surgeries how I got extremely sick and throwing up right after I woke up from the anesthesia, he made it his mission to not let that happen again to me. You can tell he loves what he does and he genuinely cares about the patients he’s treating. I am so grateful to him because I did not get sick!! Thank you Marc!!!When I woke up from surgery, I had the kindest, sweetest, angel of a nurse in the recovery room. I asked her to write her name down for me because I was out of it and wanted to remember, and I believe it says Liliya. She was checking on me constantly, whatever I needed she brought to me. She wheeled me to the bathroom and when I was afraid of being too weak to stand on my own she helped me and stayed with me. When I was laying in the recovery bed she held my hand she was telling me how great I looked and just making me feel so much better despite the little bit of pain i was in. She truly is an angel and the nicest person I have ever met. I will always remember how she took care of me. Fast forward to splint removal day (6 days post op) I was nervous and excited, I cried when I was getting the stitches taken out of my nose and my chin. Rachael was great, she wiped my tears and told me how amazing it came out and not to be nervous she was extremely patient with me bawling my eyes out. I then cried more when Dr. Reish walked into the room, it was just so overwhelming that today is the day my surgeries could be over, that my nose could actually look great instead of me being unhappy and unable to breathe. Dr. Reish and I looked in the mirror together and I was already pleased with it. I could breathe better than I ever could before, I finally had the potential for this already cute little nose, and my chin already looked great. Of course I was super swollen and I knew not to expect too much on the reveal day but I can already tell things are going in the right direction and once the swelling is down it will be perfect and exactly what I asked of him. Dr. Reish is honestly the best doctor, easy to get in touch with, approachable, understanding, caring, genuine, I just can’t say enough great things about him. I wish I found him sooner, he could have saved me from the multiple surgeries I needed. Thank you Dr. Reish and your entire team. Everyone you have in your practice are sincerely the best kind of people. So so so glad I had stumbled upon him. He changed so much for me by just changing my nose, I’m finally happy. Thank you so much!

Hello! The left is after, right is before. You can see the left is swollen but definitely smaller and the right side sticks out more and is larger :)

So as Dr. Reish said, my swelling went down significantly and I’m loving loving loving my new nose. It’s so cute and perfect and I swear to you it looks great in EVERY picture I’ve taken. No angle is a bad angle. My boyfriend has gotten tired of me saying “omg look how cute my nose looks in this picture” ???? he says it’s very cute and obviously smaller and better than before. I’m so so happy. I’ll continue to post updates ! Chin implant is doing well too! I noticed a lot of the swelling has gone down. The little lisp I had is getting much better with time. I still have some paralysis / numbness in my chin / lip on the right side but it’s getting better day by day and Dr. Reish said it will completely go away. I’m so happy with the profile my new chin has created for my face. It really balanced it out and I am obsessed.
