Provider Review
As long as I can remember I’ve always been self-conscious about my nose. Something so simple such as wearing my hair up would make me feel insecure. After years of considering it, I decided to just go on with the procedure. I booked my appointment, gave my deposit and was all ready to go. I mentioned the procedure I was scheduled to get done to a close friend of mine and in our conversation she mentioned Dr. Shamouelian. My friend who works at UCI with many talented and experienced doctors spoke very highly of him. For this reason, although I already had a date set for my surgery with a different surgeon, I decided to go for a consultation with him. After some serious consideration, I decided to go with Dr. Shamouelian. Yes, this meant I would be loosing my deposit from the other location, but that wasn’t important to me. I went with the person I felt the most comfortable with. I also work with many talented and well-respected doctors at USC and all who I mentioned I was getting this procedure done advised me to go with someone who specialized in facial plastic surgery such as an ENT. Mostly because a rhinoplasty procedure can be complex, a general plastic surgeon may not be the best option. I thought to myself… This is my face, who knows the challenges the surgeon will face while I’m on the surgery table. After several conversations with Dr. Shamouelian, I felt he was the most suitable person to do my procedure and I couldn’t be happier. I made the right decision. I love my new natural looking nose!! I had a hump reduction, osteotomies, and a tip refinement procedure. The recovery process was not bad at all. I was really in no pain and having to breathe through my mouth was not bad at all. The day of the surgery I woke up feeling fine. I didn’t even feel sick or anything. The night of my surgery I had dinner with my family at the dinner table. I almost felt like I didn’t even have surgery that’s how fine I was feeling. The days after I just followed the doctor’s post-surgery instructions and I was fine. I had minor bruising and swollenness, you couldn’t even tell much. I am a month out since I had my surgery and I feel great. I am healing amazingly and it’s all thanks to Dr. Shamouelian and his team. They’ve taken such good care of me. They have been so attentive to my needs and always made sure I was well informed with what I needed to do before and after surgery.
