Lifesaver - the results truly speak for themselves

Dr. Gregory Dibelius is undoubtedly a life saver. Unlike many other surgeons who dismissed my concerns and questions about surgical techniques and anxiety related to revision rhinoplasty, Dr. Dibelius displayed exceptional care and confidence right from our initial consultation and continued to do so throughout subsequent follow-ups. He dedicated ample time to thoroughly address all my inquiries, providing unwavering assurance.

My journey with Dr. Dibelius began when I was emotionally struggling after a previous septorhinoplasty performed by another doctor. This procedure was intended to address severe breathing difficulties resulting from sports injuries and assault to the nose, but it left me feeling like my ethnic identity was erased and my nose was botched. The previous surgeon disregarded my worries and denied the evident outcome, offering a revision with ear cartilage as a remedy. However, I wasn't willing to take any further risks after experiencing an unusually lengthy surgery of almost 7 hours, followed by an extended duration of facial swelling (9 months), 7 months of bleeding, a hematoma, synechia, over-resection of the dorsum, a saddle nose deformity, an over-rotated tip, and other issues like asymmetrical alars and an exposed nostril. The aftermath of that traumatic experience led me to isolate myself from society like a clam. I closed my social media accounts, shifted to remote work, and haven't seen friends in over a year; it was a deeply devastating and traumatic period.

However, my life took a positive turn when I discovered Dr. Dibelius. His approach to patient care is unparalleled. He is willing to invest as much time as necessary for patients to comprehend the process, the complexities, and the reality of their situation. Moreover, he possesses an artist's touch. Observing how meticulously he works on his clients' noses to restore their confidence is truly remarkable. His training under the esteemed Dr. Dean Toriumi is evident in his work, which is characterized by a sense of realism and harmony, individually tailored to each person's face. Unlike other doctors who may aim for a manufactured look akin to anime characters, Dr. Dibelius focuses on achieving genuine, natural results.

I am currently just under two weeks post-op from my revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Dibelius, and the difference between my previous surgery and this one is nothing short of drastic. Last year, after my previous surgery, my face appeared swollen as if I had undergone a face transplant and rhinoplasty simultaneously, even though that wasn't the case. However, this time around, there is absolutely no swelling of the face! The contrast is like night and day, and there are no signs of bruising or bleeding; it's almost as if Dr. Dibelius performed a miracle. I had high expectations for the results, but what truly amazed me was the incredibly short downtime, even though I had a rib graft. The entire duration of both procedures was less than 4.5 hours, showcasing Dr. Dibelius's exceptional expertise. The results truly speak for themselves, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to choose Dr. Dibelius for my revision rhinoplasty.

For anyone considering a primary or revision rhinoplasty, stumbling upon Dr. Dibelius would be an incredible stroke of luck. He is super specialized in rhinoplasty, focusing exclusively on noses, and is truly a diamond in the field of surgery.
