How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

horrible experience
Worst decision of my life. I should have listened to my mom and waited, or not done it at all. He ruined my nose, making it worse instead of better. I was super confident in choosing him at first, he had done things on family members of mine and I was excited to get it done by someone who was an "artist." I should have gone to someone who did computer imaging first of all, not a stupid drawing. He clearly didn't listen to what I wanted, instead he tried to make my nose "cuter" than the simple refinement I asked for. I wanted to change my nose so subtly, fixing a tiny bump that was getting worse from my deviated septum and injury. I didn't even know a closed procedure existed then and wish I was given that option. I will never understand his thinking after my mom told him to barely touch it. All I wanted was a straighter nose from my deviated septum. I specifically said, I just wanted my left side to look like my right because I aways favored that side due to the slight crookedness. I even liked my nose from the front. He took too much off my bridge, in-fractured my sidewalls too much, my bridge looked too thin and more crooked. He basically cut my nose in half, my tip was a hot mess. I always had more retracted nostrils, particularly on the left side and wanted that fixed slightly. He instead took half the cartilage out of my nose and sutured and narrowed the tip to be so pointy with no alar support so my nostrils on both sides ended up 10x bigger than before. I didn't even want a refined tip, I just wanted it more even as one side was more bulbous and it leaned left. Not only that, it was over-projected and he thinned out my skin so much that you could see the strut graft like a white square he put at the end. It was stiff for years, which no one told me. It didn't harmonize with my face at all. It was straight up UGLY. I went into a deep depression and I'm still to this day, 8 years later, trying to get over. I tried so many things to make the situation better like some lip fillers which I hated. He destroyed my confidence. I was 10x more photogenic before surgery and it still shocks me to this day he would ruin my natural beauty. I lost my self-identity and he ruined the things I loved about myself by changing what we didn't agree on. He took zero accountability. He suggested a therapist and also trying filler. Which, trust me, I did. I've been in therapy for years and still cry over what happened and the trauma and anger of it all. Fillers in my nose held me over a little until I got it fixed. I ended up getting a revision and even my surgeon was like, "he did a number on your nose." It's funny I remember Hidalgo saying, "it will be very subtly because you can always take more away but you can't put back." In seeing his other work now, he does the same thing to others and seemingly doesn't know how to individualize his tired techniques to make someone look like themselves. Not all noses fit one face. Do not let this man touch your face. He needs to retire. Pray he reads this! You're disgraceful for ruining my entire 20s and negatively affecting my life forever.
