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.

I know it's been a little while! I have been...
I know it's been a little while!
I have been pretty busy at work but I finally was able to schedule a consultation about two weeks ago for this afternoon. I went to see Dr. Andrew G. Pichler, and I'm not going to lie, I was a little nervous!! My husband and I drove about 20 minutes to my appointment in Carmichael. As soon as I walked into the office I knew I was actually moving forward!
I was greeted by two very nice women who were expecting me and had me fill out some papers. I waited for about 5 minutes and read some pamphlets about rhinoplasty. I was called into the Doctors office, my husband and I sat down and very soon afterwards we met Dr. Pichler. He is an extremely pleasant and professional older man, I right away felt very comfortable talking to him about what I was looking for. He asked me if I had any health and surgery history, if I was on medication, and if I could breath well through my nose. I explained to him that the only issue I had with my nose was appearance related. No prior surgery, no health problems, and no medications.
He has a separate room we walked to that had a chair in the middle and mirrors surrounding on all the walls. I could see myself at every angle :/
He continued to ask me what I didn't like about my nose and showed me what he could do to change it. He was very polite and confident. He explained the shape of my face and how my nose would effect or not effect my other features. He told me his plan for my surgery and how he can achieve a completely natural look and a nose that will compliment my face. My REAL nose.
I took a look at his portfolio and he has literally done thousands of rhinoplastic procedures. He then took pictures of my face... From front, slightly to each side, left and right profile, slightly looking up and down. He gave me some informative papers, payment options, and let me know not to rush my decision. He said if I decided to have him do my surgery to come back and see my edited pictures so I can have a better idea of what my nose will look like.
I left feeling very confident in Dr. Pichler, I can't wait to see what he shows me with my pictures. So next time will be updated soon!!!

I'm just going to start from . . . When I was...
I'm just going to start from . . .
When I was little, my nose looked completely fine. But as I started growing up, my nose started growing out!! In my junior high days all the boys would make fun of me and call me a "witch" and say mean things. For Halloween, all my friends thought I should be a witch cause I "looked the part". Then, later in high school, it was the cool thing to choose your friends' "spirit animal". Stupid, I know . . .but it's a big deal when you're younger! So everyone chose mine as: a Toucan.
I think I've done a pretty good job not letting these things destroy my life, but I have always had low self-esteem, hardly any confidence, and can be horribly shy sometimes. I hate having my picture taken because I never like what I look like! From the front I think I actually do look good. . . but I have a horrible profile and angles are not my friends at all!!!! I do have friends and family and an AMAZING husband who all love me and are always there for me, but I have decided that it's not for other people, whether they care about how I look or not, it's for ME!
So anyways, after I graduated high school I started really considering a nose job. I have been a tiny bit on the fence because I don't want to look like a completely different person. And any kind of surgery scares me a little! Recently I found this website and started looking at before and after pictures. They're amazing!!! And everyone's stories are so comforting, I have never met anyone who had the same insecurities as me and I already feel like I'm not alone!
Now I am saving up a little more, looking at different doctors in the Sacramento area, and mentally preparing myself for this step in my life.
I'm already nervous thinking about it! But also excited that I have finally decided to do this.
To be continued!!!
