I'm Pretty Now

WORTH IT
I have to say that it feels a little strange leaving a review for a surgeon, but I know how difficult it is to find a good plastic surgeon in a city of so many, so I believe the more information on the internet, the better. I have read a lot of the reviews here about Dr. Ghavami and on a few other sites. I understand people's issues and frustrations with the office, but to those reading this - let me ask you one question, What do you hope to get out of your procedure? I went for Rhinoplasty. My nose was big and I asked for button. No easy feat. And to say I'm fussy, is to put it mildly. I kept telling myself, "You're never gonna be 100% happy. You're not gonna *love* it, but it'll be an improvement." That is what I told myself for months before the surgery. I'm now 6 months post-surgery and I look F*ing amazing! When the cast came off, I just cried. I've never been happier in my life. I saw someone I hadn't seen in a year and she was like, "You look great. Did you get a haircut?" Nope. Haven't had a haircut for a year actually. She just couldn't tell that my nose was done because even though it's way smaller now, it in no way looks like I had surgery a few months ago.
As I said, my nose was big and it had a large bump in the bone. I showed him a photo of a tiny, sloped nose and he said it was going to be a challenge, but doable. Then, with a wave of his wand, I have a nose that is not only exactly what I wanted, but it fits my face perfectly. It's the nose I should have been born with.
Dr. Ghavami was recommended to me by someone, so I did my due diligence and looked at before and after photos, here and on his Instagram. I perused thousands of photos from hundreds of surgeons. His photos were far and away the best, so I knew I was in good hands.
So, yeah, the office is very busy. It is hard to get an appointment and sometimes you have to wait longer than you want to. But this is intricate and delicate surgery, the best is worth waiting for. Also worth noting that the girls in the office are kind and patient. Chammy is a rock star, Mirna, the nurse, is a Godsend and the Doctor is an artist and just a really good guy. So, again, what do you want out of your procedure? If you wanna to look good, if you wanna feel great - go see Ghavami.

don't waste your time. this post was half about defending bad reviews and bad experiences others had with this office and doctor. no person that cares about others would be like "oh yeah the office is frustrating, other peoples horror stories are bad butttt lemme ask you this" like no, all the horror stories and bad office experiences with the office and doctor are not to be looked over. this is not a real review, I think it's clearly a staff member. and if this is a real person, shame on you for sticking up for such poor care/outcomes others have experienced with this doctor and staff. my friend went to this doctor 9 months ago and she has been living through hell since. scary.

Hey Keyboard Coward, shame on you for making bald and baseless accusations about me when you 1) you're clueless and 2) it clearly says that I am a verified purchaser because I sent a copy of my receipt for surgery. You are the problem with this planet. Truly. Not only are you wrong, you'll never admit it. Stay cynical, stay miserable, stay cowardly. Me, I'll stay happy because I'm right and because I look amazing after my incredible surgery. It's not my review that should be removed. It's you and your nonsense reply. You're the one replying "for a friend." Now THAT is absolute b.s.

anyone can verify a receipt, especially if you work there............ let's see those before and afters. Yes I posted for her because she literally can't even look in the mirror without crying due to the irreversible damage caused by this monster that you're so aggressively defending (wonder why?....). If you don't work for him, you wouldn't be defending him so much, from your very first review you were defending him from others comments and personal reviews.. its sad you're so hateful that I would post for a friend like a caring friend would, because she has gone through so much damage from this, you really must not care about others..... sounds about right coming from his office staff, maybe I can meet you when I come with her for her appointment. also to be defending someone so much and saying how great you look because you're soproud, with zero photos...... yes I think its obvious. plus a huge point of this site is to show your progress, before, during, after. it's funny yet sad when you can spot a staff member posting reviews. you're clearly upset you got called out. get a real job rather than assist someone in ruining lives.

also, how do you know Ghavami is a "really good guy"? do you know him personally...? you did your research on Realself before surgery...... so you saw all of the horror photos of his surgeries that his patients posted and reviewed - and your saying those horrific photos and reviews are what sold you on getting surgery from him? and these horror photos were better than thousands of other photos you saw from surgeons....? his social media marketing girl called his staff members "superstars" in her non-reputable google review and you called them "rockstars" in this review. Coincidence?? I think not. she tagged herself in the last post she did of herself on his page, and her title is listed in her (*your*) bio. a child could put this together. Good luck scamming.

also .... you called me a "keyboard coward"... in what sense? commenting on a review form to help others or share someones experience makes me a "keyboard coward?"..... OK, because that makes zero sense. You know people that feel guilty and defensive often call others names without reason.

I agree. I was also botched by this doctor, and have found a lot more people who he’s botched. And that’s putting it lightly. These women are depressed and out a lot of money. They got their hopes up because this doctor promised them the moon and did not deliver. Not only that, but left us all worse than we started out. It’s completely unethical.

I'm hesitant to upload photos before I'm totally healed and all the swelling has gone down. I'm only at the 6th month mark, so still a ways to go. I was thinking of posting after my 1 year mark.

This post made me laugh out loud. This was written by a staff member obviously. if this person was actually that happy she would post photos and also wouldn't bring up other peoples reviews and the office staff so much praising it all. Realself should delete this.
