Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

10 years late but I finally got an answer - should have went with a better surgeon
I just had my revision with Dr Athre. I noticed the incision for the osteotome at the top of my nose was in the center so the tool would be able access and shave the bone on either side.
When Dr Bressler did the primary rhinoplasty, he left 2 incisions for an osteotome, but they were both on the same side. He didn't have a good working angle to make cuts directly under the incision site, so he left a large bony hump on that side while cutting deep on the other side. At least that's how I imagine it went seeing as I couldn't Dr Bressler since he ghosted me once he got his money.

Could Have Been Better
Went to Dr. Bressler in 2012 because I saw SarahMac's review. She had a bony nose like mine so I was hoping for similar results. I asked for a slightly scooped nose, but Dr. Bressler discouraged me from getting too "feminine" a nose saying I, as a man, should have a "Strong Roman nose." I didn't push back. Poor results, but I still preferred the new asymmetric over what I had. When I asked about the bony hump on one side, Bressler just told me not to worry about it. Lost trust in him since he couldn't be honest about the outcome.
Just went to Dr Athre for a revision after 10 years. Athre said it probably came out asymmetric last time because the original cartilage was also asymmetric. Doesn't explain why Bressler left a bony hump on one side though.
Will post the revision results once the swelling goes down.
