Best Decision Ever

I’m a guy that was unhappy with my nose and felt self-conscious about my appearance. Not only was my breathing obstructed with a deviated septum that impacted my daily life - leading to chronic sinus infections - but I had a nose that did not suit my face and deeply impacted my self-esteem.

I’m in my twenties now and have wanted a rhinoplasty ever since I was in high school - but the idea of surgery was terrifying. I finally began my search in 2023 and went to three different consultations in a couple different states. I knew I wanted the surgery - but was scared of an outcome that made me look unrecognizable.

I almost gave up on surgery because of my fears until I found Dr. Zimm’s Instagram, where I saw his work on male noses and immediately knew that he was the surgeon for me. And days after my consultation with him, I booked my surgery.

Dr. Zimm is not only a perfectionist but also a true artist.
His attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He made me feel comfortable and confident, addressing my fears even when I was terrified to go into surgery. I knew that I was in the right hands and after meeting with him again all my worries went away. I expressed that I wanted a nose that looked like “me”, kept the same shape from the front but smaller/removed dorsal hump from the side but still masculine.

I’ve read horror stories from strangers online about feeling unrecognizable and hating their rhinoplasty result from different surgeons. I was terrified of an outcome like this and was so scared of making a mistake. My old nose was too strong for my face, but I made it work! The last thing I wanted was a nose that was even worse.

In January of 2024 I finally had my surgery, Zimm and his crew stayed late to make sure my result was an improvement for the rest of my life, and the results have been life-changing. Not only has my breathing has improved, which has enhanced my overall quality of life - but I finally feel like myself. It’s so hard to articulate this feeling - but once initial swelling went down I didn’t for a second dislike my results or not feel like “me”. It feels like the nose I was supposed to be born with and completely transformed my life. I got exactly what I wanted - my front still looks like before with a masculine but refined/smaller side. The result is perfect and I have never once regretted going to Dr. Zimm. While recovering from a rhinoplasty/my first surgery was intense - Shelby, Mariela and Susie were amazing I would do it over and over again to have the nose that Dr. Zimm gave me.

I feel much more handsome, with a confidence I never thought possible. Dr. Zimm didn’t just improve my nose; he improved my self-esteem and well-being.
I am forever grateful to Dr. Zimm for his incredible work and the positive impact it has had on my life. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking both functional and aesthetic improvements. Dr. Zimm truly cares about his patients and their outcomes, and it shows in his exceptional work.
