I Had a Great Experience. 7 Yrs Post Op and Still Great

Thank you doctor ! I am 7 years post op and it’s still holding up great. I wanted to wait to review to see how my results lasted since rhinoplasty, especial revision, can take years to see the full result.
This was my 3rd rhinoplasty. Previously I went in for a dorsal hump removal with someone else. They over resected my nose and cut off my tip. It was way over shortened, upturned, and I had a big dent on one side of my tip with inverted V deformity. I needed a specialist to lengthen and restore my tip to a normal appearance which after many years of contemplating and researching I found Dr. Davis.
He spend 1.5-2 hours with me in consultation. Showing me many photos and lots of discussion. He made me feel seen, heard, and welcome.
Only after meeting with other surgeons did I realize how valuable and above and beyond this was. I met with many plastic surgeons in LA who charged $500-700 for a consult and spent less than 5 minutes talking to me, were rushed, and had bad bedside manner. And didn’t even answer all my questions. .
Dr. Davis goes above and beyond in bedside manner to get to know you and understand your aesthetic goals. And provide in length example photos of what’s achievable.
He came and visited me in the hospital post op to check in and spent much time with me during follow ups. I do agree with some on here that said he was shorter tempered and more dismissive during post op stuff but after healing thoroughly I understand more now why he may be dismissive of concerns. You swell enormously and looks insane for months. In my case many months. And he has worked with so many he knows swelling will resolve or go down and it comes off as dismissive. But when you’re healing you’re looking at these swollen results and panicking and his response can come off as abrasive when in reality it’s just experience and knowing time will resolve a lot of the panic. I’m sure he gets alot of panic and freaking out that you just have to dismiss knowing rhinoplasty takes so much time.
I used rib. Two weeks of rib pain were rough. My nose was lengthen. It was insanely swollen and I worried I had this huge blocky bulbous lump. It took 7+ months for my swelling to go down and start looking normal. And over a year to see real results. For how huge and swollen it was it’s now it’s so thin I actually get some filler sometimes ( which he advised against, but I wasn’t ready for a touch up surgery).
It’s not perfect but no revision will be. There still some small finesse things I’d like to do but overall I look normal and don’t have a cut off tip anymore. Dr. D cares about his patients and spends time with them, he remember them and personal details because he takes the time to get to know his patients. I got a breast aug with a different doctor who re-introduced himself to me at a post op because not only did not remember me but he not take the time to even glance at my chart to refresh who he was seeing. He didn’t even recognize someone he consulted with several times and performed surgery on. Caring about your patients it’s important. It means you care to do a good job and that they are happy with their results which is exactly what Dr. Davis goes. Even a a follow up several years after he remember a lot about me.
