Dr Kassir… don’t waste your money

FIRST AND LAST RHINOPLASTY BECAUSE OF THIS AMAZING SURGEON!!! ... So let me start off by telling you that I have been unhappy with my nose since I was 12 years old. As unusual as that may sound, I have been hit in the face in softball a few times when I was younger, and have had a deviated septum for as long as I can remember. I have always had this insecurity because of the deviation. My nose was noticeably crooked (well maybe in my eyes) but it really was obvious! I would constantly ask people to not take or post photos of me because I HATED the way I looked in them because I felt my side profile just did not look attractive being that it was long with a bump on the bridge. I would look at myself in the mirror and constantly push my nose straight with my fingers to see how it feels to actually breathe through the left side of my nose. I would even take a bobby pin and push it straight to see how I would actually look. This was always a struggle of mine.I would need to take pictures ONLY from my left side in group photos and in selfies but if they were close up I was never EVER happy with them. People would always say “You’re crazy”, “You don’t need a nose surgery” and “You’re pretty just the way you are”. While I sincerely appreciated their kind words, I also ignored them because I wasn’t wanting this surgery to please anyone but myself. My breathing problem was a confirmation that there was a legit problem with my nose! Coincidentally, in 2015, I first heard of Dr. Kassir from a girl I spoke to who I worked with and her nose was so petite and asymmetrical. It was (in my eyes) a perfect nose. Before remembering Dr. Kassir’s name from that girl, I had recently researched other surgeons and was considering Dr. Ghavami in California, who is also an amazing surgeon. The differences were that:
#1. I’m in NJ, so It was a TRIP and would not be ideal for a person like me (with kids) to spend atleast two weeks that far away. 
#2. I have looked at reviews/posts by people who went in for surgery with Dr. Ghavami and although the end result was amazing (Just like Dr. Kassir) they went through ALOT of pain and some even had blood inside their eyes, which I’m sure is a normal side effect among most rhinoplasty surgeries, but it freaked me out! 
... So one day, as I was trying to think of a closer surgeon once COVID hit and I wasn’t even thinking to enter California at its highest peak, I THANKFULLY remembered Dr. Kassir’s name out of the blue. It must’ve been God-sent! I would’ve NEVER expected my nose to turn out this good and with NO PAIN, minimal-no swelling/bruising and with NO pain medications! THIS SURGEON HAS EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS in more ways than one! To start; from his staff inside the office to the staff inside the operatory; every single person was so kind and had things running so organized which made this entire process so smooth and easy. They’ve shown genuine concern to any questions I’ve had and responded very quickly to any emails or calls I had left for them or the Doctor. I went to both the Ridgewood location and New York City location for my appointments and both locations are extremely clean. The anesthesiologist told me she has over 20 years experience while prepping me for surgery which made me feel confident that I’ve made the right choice in addition to the surgeon hisself. The nurse who put the IV in was gentle I didn’t even feel a pinch. As for Dr. Kassir, himself, he is a truly AMAZING surgeon! I am so incredibly thankful I had remembered him because he is a genuinely great person, has a great personality and treats patients as a person and not just a dollar sign. Although his office gets very busy, he NEVER rushed me through questions, he took his time to answer every question I had and engaged in conversation. So between that and the fact that he has changed so many lives (INCLUDING MY OWN!) with his painless, scarless, closed rhinoplasty technique... he deserves every penny because this surgery will last me a lifetime THANKS TO HIM!! THANK YOU DR KASSIR & TEAM!!! I am FOREVER GRATEFUL! FOR RESULTS GO ON HIS IG and you will see my before and afters. I was unable to upload my before photos because they were too big.
