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.

Before and After Pics
Included are the before and after photos for my primary procedure. Only profile and oblique can be included for the after parts because there are no photos of the other angles.
Revision Required
The story behind my revision decision:
Nearly a year after the procedure, I was still trying to accept the results (as a college student, revision rhinoplasty is a distant dream). However, I was worried that more than just aesthetics were wrong with my nose. I made an appointment with my original surgeon and three others in the neighboring city. My original doctor confirmed that the results were indeed bad, but he did not fully examine it. He offered to do a "minor touch up" (which I now know would have worsened my condition). I was a little relieved after speaking with him; he said it was structurally secure, so what did I have to worry about?
Flash forward a few weeks, I am in the office of a facial reconstruction surgeon hearing what I thought was the worst news ever. I have a severe internal valve collapse. Shocking, but believable. Finally I had an explanation to my worsening breathing and amorphous nasal shape. The other doctors (an ENT and expert revision rhinoplasty surgeon confirmed this diagnoses.)
Now, after serious contemplation about how much I value my breathing, I have a revision rhinoplasty scheduled. Therefore, the rest of my "journey" will be documented in a revision rhinoplasty review.
All I have to say after spending as much time and money on my nose is be educated. Know the ends and outs of the procedure when interviewing potential surgeons. Also, it helps if he (or she) is specialized in rhinoplasty (so probably a facial plastic surgeon).

I still resent my procedure. However, like many of you lovely ladies have noticed, my nose is appreciably smaller. Unfortunately , just because my nose has a different size does not mean it looks good.
Luckily, I think I have found a way to disguise my dorsal hump for now. :) (Glasses!)

Provider Review
I chose this doctor due to my geographic and economic limitations. I understand my case was particularly challenging due to the nature of my natural nose; however, the fact still is he caused a major issue in my life. The warning signs I see clearly now about his practice are the following:no posted "Before and After" photos, no digital imaging, and not a member of ABFPRS. Aside from the surgery, he seemed like a pleasant person and I hope he continues to practice what he is skilled in.
