Silikon 1000 Removal from Nose and Rhinoplasty
I am so lucky I found Dr Karamanoukian! After two decent, but asymmetric rhinoplasties I tried silicone injections by a “top nose doctor” in Beverly Hills to avoid another revision and the final result (after three injections) left my once feminine, refined nose- bulky, more masculine, chronically inflamed (swollen), in pain, and discolored (purple) on one side. It was so depressing!! I was gutted and hopeless. What a stupid, expensive mistake! But what I didn’t know then, was that this horrific experience with silikon 1000 would be the blessing I needed to lead me to the surgeon who could get me the results I always wanted. That surgeon is Dr Raffy Karamanoukian. He was a godsend. A miracle worker.
Although I was hesitant at the thought of another surgery- I knew I needed to get the silicone out ASAP as it would only get worse with time. Finding an expert surgeon.. and an expert silicone removal specialist like Dr Karamanoukian was hard, and again, I’m so lucky I found him. He made me feel comfortable and confident about the procedure from the beginning. He is nothing short of genius. A whip-smart and master surgeon who is damn good at what he does. You can tell by his passion, warmth, sincerity and intelligence that he was born to be a surgeon. It’s almost effortless for him (he makes complicated surgeries look easy). Dr Raffy and his amazing staff always answered my hundreds of worrisome questions and anxieties with patience, support, and loving care. Yulia and Gwen were my emotional support team and scheduling rock stars. I have so much gratitude for everyone there. They were incredibly supportive before and after surgery.
Now for the actual results: so not only did Dr Raffy surgically remove the insane amount of liquid silicone from my nose (I’m so happy it’s out), but he also straightened my deviated septum (which I didn’t know I had) AND in his expert, artistic, subtle way, refined the asymmetries to look more balanced, feminine, and natural. AND to top it off yet again, I still look like myself- not a different person/nose. All of which I didn’t think was possible!! I’m still shocked I have such a beautiful nose now. Looking in the mirror is actually pleasurable. He gave me my life back. My mental health back. This saga is over (thank God).
I highly recommend Dr Raffy Karamanoukian. Go see him and change your life for the better!
