Is Rhinoplasty Worth It?

Apr 24, 2023

If you have felt that the appearance of your nose doesn't quite fit with the rest of your face, you may have considered rhinoplasty. Plastic surgery is a big decision, which is why some people are apprehensive about committing to surgery. However, most who have had the procedure are thrilled with the results. For some individuals, it results in more confidence and others also gain the benefit of better breathing. Whether or not rhinoplasty is worth it can only be determined by you, but here is what our patients have had to say about their experience.


"I found Dr. Patel after doing LOTS of research trying to find the best ENT/rhinoplasty surgeon in my state. I am SO glad I found him. I waited a LONG time for this surgery, so I was afraid of making a mistake. The experience was outstanding from beginning to end. His nurse and office coordinator were super helpful and kind, and Dr. Patel was very clear and forthright. Don't expect him to sit there and babble about how great he is or make crazy promises. He listens to what your likes/dislikes are and is honest about what can be achieved. If you look at his website, his work speaks for itself! He delivers results that are natural looking and that fit your face in a way that looks like you now have the nose you should've been born with. I can breathe better now, and I look at myself in the mirror and still recognize who I see, only a MUCH better version. :)"


"I had a bike accident as a teen that left my nose crooked and I also had a hump on my bridge. Dr. Patel was wonderful, he fixed it, and it looks very close to the picture he took in his office that he computer generated for my goal results. His aftercare was exceptional too."


"For more than fifty years I struggled with the appearance of my nose. When I finally made the decision to confront my issues, I found Dr. Patel. I thought because of my age, my action would scream vanity. The staff at Visage understood where I was coming from. I LOVE my new nose and the confidence it has given me."


“I went to Dr. Patel for a rhinoplasty. I'm very happy with my results. Dr. Patel is caring, patient, experienced -- the real deal. I'd recommend him to anyone. My dad wants a nose job after seeing my results, and my friends tell me how natural it looks."


"5-star satisfied with my experience working with Dr. Patel!!! This was a BIG decision for me and I had a lot of questions/concerns because (of course) when doing research, you learn about all the things that can go wrong! From my first initial consultation through on-going email communications, Dr. Patel was always quick to respond and address my questions. Dr. Patel listened to my "outcome" wants and concerns, and helped to navigate me through the procedure experience, including the year-long "final results" process. Day-of-surgery was simple and the care-package I was sent home with provided some care-items that I didn't even know that I would need, based on all of my research! Everyone at the surgical center was amazing! Recovery was easier than expected (I did take 2 weeks off of work, but could have gone back a week later - desk job). I selected Dr. Patel because of the reviews written about him and that he spoke openly about maintaining face-appropriate outcomes. I was very specific about wanting to keep strength in my nose, while refining the tip and Dr. Patel does not just "copy/paste" the same outcome on his patients. His before/after images speak to his artistic ability and I am thrilled with the subtle refinement he provided for me. I highly value Dr. Patel's surgical skill and artistic abilities! He does have a bit of a wait to get into your initial consultation and I'll say: He is WORTH THE WAIT!!!"


"Doctor Patel gives honest and realistic feedback about the results his work can achieve. I felt his work was great because everything healed without issue or scarring. The whole process can be stressful, but I always felt I could get in touch with him or his staff with questions. [Single best thing is...] The results. Dr. Patel's work is like artwork, he is a skilled surgeon, and clearly has great talent. The cosmetic results were achieved, but also my breathing is much better too after years of other doctors telling me to “take allergy meds” daily. I no longer need them on a daily basis."


"Dr. Patel is the ABSOLUTE BEST facial plastic surgeon!! After doing tons of research, and several consultations, I decided to go with Dr. Patel, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my results. He took plenty of time talking to me about what I did and didn't want, and what I was hoping for in the end result. His communication was wonderful! Even in the hospital the day of my procedure, all the nurses and other doctors that I met with said how great Dr. Patel is, and they were all right!! I now have a nose that I am in LOVE with, and can't thank him enough!"
