I wish I would've found out about this...

I wish I would've found out about this procedure sooner! I drove 3.5 hours from MD and left extremely happy.

I decided to go for the non-surgical rhinoplasty (Silikon-1000) to correct a previous rhinoplasty that I had back in 2006 performed by another doctor. I wasn't happy with the irregularities that appeared a few years later (indentations on both sides of my septum and a small bump in the center of my bridge).
After much research online I decided that Dr. Joseph's practice and procedure seemed promising. He and his staff were VERY fast in responding to my inquiries and thorough in their answers.

Pros:
-Competent doctor very passionate about his work
-Affordable
-Extremely quick
- No downtime: no need to ice or take any medicine afterward.

Cons:
-You'll want to avoid wearing heavy eyeglasses if you get injections done on the bridge of your nose (wait at least a month before wearing glasses again)
-I tend to bruise, swell and bleed easily but it was pretty minor with the injections. The doctor even told me exactly where I could expect to see tiny little bruises or redness. (I had a wedding to attend the next day and I looked perfectly fine with just a little makeup).

Still extremely happy with my results. My nose looks even better than before and apparently I had a bit more swelling than I had initially thought because now my nose looks like it has slimmed down in the bridge which is perfect! I had very slight bruising in one spot for about a week but it was easily covered with make up and I'm still avoiding wearing my heavy eyeglasses. I only wore my glasses instead of contacts to try to hide the irregularities I had on the bridge of my nose but now I have nothing to hide!

Hi! I am so happy to find reviews like yours. I have been looking into Dr. Joseph for quick sometime. I am now trying to be completely cautious because of my last botched nose job. I never want to go under the knife again because the outcome is too unpredictable. I am very scared but your feedback is very helpful. Now that you are two years post-op... how are you liking your new nose?

Hello, I'm still very happy with the outcome but I'm thinking of going back for a touch-up. Dr. Joseph predicted it would take two sessions to "perfect" the bridge of my nose but I was so happy with the results that I didn't even think to go back until a little more recently. I notice in some lighting that I still have a bit of a "dent" on my bridge but it is NOTHING like it was before. Pretty minor and I'm thinking my heavy eyeglasses might have something to do with it. The doctor told me the injections would take a little bit of time to settle as well as the swelling to see the true shape and he wouldn't consider injecting again until a few months after the initial injections but I didn't really notice the slight dent in my bridge again until roughly 6 months ago. so it's been a pretty long time! I highly recommend :-) Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

Are you still happy with your results ? I have had 2 revision rhinoplasty's and am considering silicon filler but I have read that over time it can cause some issues. Have you had any problems ?

Hi — I’m still happy with my results and didn’t end up going for a touch up. I will say that I noticed some slight changes on the bridge of my nose but I believe it’s entirely related to my heavy glasses (I have dry eye now so I haven’t been able to wear contacts in years). I haven’t had any problems. Let me know if you have any other questions.
