I was just so desperate to get a perfect new nose—I should’ve trusted my gut

Botched nose job! Please be aware! I'm compelled to share my experience not to bash but to help others avoid exasperating & disappointing results
This is my experience...
If you’re not an influencer or a celeb you won’t be treated with the same care here, you won't get 100%. You’re just a dollar sign. 
Dr. Ghavami recently told me to “contour” my nose, for now, I didn’t pay $10k+ to contour. I’ve had depression and anxiety since my surgery, because of the results and the lack of care. The doctor never seemed to acknowledge my concerns but instead, dismiss them. He never spent more than 10min in a consultation with me. Always rushed & for what I paid I expected a doctor who maybe cared. 
The day after my surgery a nurse told me the doctor said my surgery was “hard”, does this explain the bad results? Why couldn’t he have been honest and said he couldn’t do a good job. I’ve gone to the doctor with my concerns and he’s dismissed them saying my nose looks “adorable.” read the yelp reviews. Read reviews on ratemds! Read the RealSelf reviews page. I wish I would’ve listened to those reviews but I never thought it’d happen to me. I came in with amazing expectations but also realistic ones.
My dream has always been to get my nose job, literally my biggest insecurity. Also getting this doctor was a dream come true for me. I admired this man, meeting him to me was like meeting a celebrity. His social media is just so deceiving. I was so desperate to get my nose done that I didn’t bother looking at any other surgeons. I saved my money being a college student for so long for this. 
From my initial consultation, I showed him my inspiration pictures and assured it would be so easy and that I came to the perfect place. Before surgery I had issues with a nurse who gave me wrong directions on which covid test I had to take, I should’ve taken that as the first red flag & ran. I was just so desperate to get a perfect new nose. I should’ve trusted my gut but I went along with it.
On the day of my surgery, I was supposed to have my surgery at 3pm and it didn’t even happen until 6pm-7pm. Ridiculous. The day after my surgery I ran into the doctor and he only said hello and quickly avoided me. Once again get a doctor who cares. Please save your money there are better Beverly Hills surgeons than him! From the moment my cast was taken off I knew I didn’t like my nose. It looked sloppy and not well done.
Now I’m 7 months post-op with uneven nostrils and I now have a dent on the side of my nose and a bump on the side grew. I went in for a 6 month consultation and he assured me my nose looked adorable and injected my nose with something that caused the dent. I’ve had very few personal contact with him only through chammy which honestly is amazing and the best part of my surgery. She’s great, she’s beautiful & has a pure heart.
Now I’m looking for a doctor to fix my nose. He’ll never admit he went in and put little effort in my nose but God sees all hearts & will handle people accordingly. I have faith, better days are coming in my life & I'm excited to put this behind me. Save yourself the trouble & go somewhere else.

I'm sorry this happened to you. It happened to me as well. Reading this review, I honestly thought maybe I had written it in my sleep. SAME EXACT EXPERIENCE. I'm finding out that there are MANY others that have had this experience with him as well: ruined face, ruined nose, nostril issues, indents, not what people asked for, not having a full and thorough consult, and worse. It's scary. Check your messages.

Go to Nassif, he will fix it.

I too am having the same exact exact experience and am waiting for 6 month follow up to see what to do about it :(

You had a rhinoplasty with Ghavami ? I’m so sorry ! I know how you’re feeling ! What exactly did he do to your nose?
February 27, 2021
Yea nose job with ghavami, he did a septorhino and I’m left with asymmetry in the nostrils that’s very apparent and I can’t breath at all from the left side and I had no breathing issues before. Super rushed consults and idk if I should have him fix it or go to another doctor? No idea! What are you planning to do?
February 27, 2021
You’re going to get through with this love! Better days are coming just please don’t let him touch your face again !! I’m looking for a Revision specialist and researching so much now not just looking at Instagram reviews! Keep me updated and message me whenever you want !

Good luck. I wouldn't let a surgeon that ruined your nose touch you again. That is frightening, if they ruined your nose they are not capable of fixing it. Every patient of his that I have talked to that allowed him to touch their nose a second time, have had outcomes that result in another surgeon fixing it once they've healed yet against. Also if you're having breathing issues go to an ENT, not someone who is a general surgeon.

Hi! I’m so sorry about your experience! Do you mind sharing pictures? Debating on whether or not to proceed with my surgery

Read his reviews on Rhinoplasty. Check the "recent reviews" and "lowest rating" tabs. Read his Yelp reviews, scroll to the bottom to find links for bad reviews that are hidden. Google his name and the words botched, bad, etc previous patients of his have created website dedicated to him ruining their noses. If that's not enough to convince you to cancel your appointment then I don't know what is. He has completely ruined my life in every single aspect, my nose is now deformed and I can't breathe. I used to love taking photos and was paid to take photos travelling. Now I can't even look in their mirror. I've seen other surgeons and they are in shock with the severe damage that this surgeon caused my previously perfectly functioning and cute nose. One surgeon asked me if I fell off of the OR table during surgery. That is how bad it is. If he does that to a previously nice nose, I can't imagine what he would do with someone else's. I've spoken to many other rhinoplasty patients of his, the stories of how he ruined their lives is sickening. Did he go over the risks of this surgery with you during your consult? Any doctor that truly cares about their patients will go over all of the risks and details so the patient can make an informed decision. If it felt like he was selling you a car, saying how great this will be for you... then it sounds like a salesman and not someone that has your best interest in mind. No rhinoplasty is perfect, an imperfect natural nose is better than a botched fake nose. Look in the mirror and remember that.

This was really helpful, thank you guys! I just cancelled my surgery with him

Best decision you ever made. I haven't had surgery with him thankfully but look at the pictures of his work. Atrocious. I can't understand how anybody can look at the photos of the people's noses he has destroyed and still book an appointment "hoping" their experience will be different. This guys practice is criminal. The number of faces he has and continues to ruin is ridiculous. I am sorry for all the people who have had the dishonor of allowing this monster to touch their faces or anywhere else to be frank. Run. Fast. And never ever look back.
