I had always been displeased with my nose...

I had always been displeased with my nose cosmetically; functionally, it was difficult to breathe (felt like breathing through two tiny cocktail straws). I had also considered a chin implant for some time. I'm so glad I did this; my results are wonderful and Dr. Chaboki is great! I didn't include the cost of fixing the deviated septum, nasal valves, or turbinates because those were covered by insurance and I don't remember how much that medical portion would have cost (I think around $6k). Now two weeks into recovery, my profile looks amazing even with the swelling, and I can breathe a million times better (the surgery was worth it for that alone!). I'm so glad I chose Dr. Chaboki; I have no regrets.

I had worried about changing my face and the potential impact, but Dr. Chaboki's approach made me feel at ease. I still look like myself, but better. My nose looks great; the hump was removed, the bridge slightly narrowed, and the tip slightly elevated. All done without external incisions! I have no scars, and my nose looks wonderful without having that fake 'clearly had work done' cookie cutter look. I credit this to Dr. Chaboki's wonderful advice and specific recommendations for me based on my concerns and my actual face (rather than generic approaches). For example, I had initially suggested refining my tip so it was less bulbous, but after a couple of discussions about the pros and cons, I agreed with Dr. Chaboki's approach in leaving the tip alone other than slightly elevating it so it was less droopy when I smiled. Seeing my results now, I'm glad I went that route. Doing anything more would have been overkill and would not have looked good on my face. It's hard to see that beforehand, when you've had these preconceived ideas in your head for years about what you think you want, but you have to trust that your doctor knows best, and Dr. Chaboki easily gave me that confidence to trust his recommendation.

My chin looks like a normal chin now, instead of a weak, recessed chin. I'm one of those people that even when I'm skinny, I have a neck lacking definition with a bit of a double chin. Now, my jaw line is very nicely defined after the liposuction and looks great with the chin.

My whole face looks much more proportional and balanced; love it. The change is very subtle to my friends and family because they don't obsess over these things like we do to ourselves, but once they see the before and after pictures, they really can see the difference and think my face and profile look much better.

Can't wait to see the end results over the next year. I highly recommend Dr. Chaboki; his skill on the functional and cosmetic side is spot on. Thanks Dr. Chaboki for making this surgery experience as easy, calm, and painless as possible!
