 Posted: 06/16/08 - 01:15 Post subject: Recent got nose job |
  |
|
I recently got rhinoplasty with Dr. Kanodia and I'm asian. I did it as a graduate school gift to myself. I did not have a flat nose but I did have a bulbous tip. He narrowed the spine of my nose and thinned out the tip. I am absolutely ecstatic with my new nose. While the change is not drastic, it has made a huge difference in my life. Perhaps it's part mental but I feel so much more confident.
Yes, the cost is a bit steep - I paid $15K not including pre op lab work, and post op meds but it was well worth it. It is your face, not to mention the "center" of your face. You want to get it right the first time around.
My advice is to have realistic expectations. He is a miracle worker but he's not a magician. He can only make your nose into what it has the potential to be. I think he is great with making sure it's in harmony with the rest of your features.
He really means it when he says "I'm going to give you the nose you could have been born with," meaning don't expect to come out with a euro-centric nose if you don't have the nasal column for it because the results would be very unnatural looking.
With that said, I wish you all good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for. |

I've had my rhinoplasty two years ago. My nose was broken for awhile and after the surgery, at first my nose looked good but then the swelling went down and my nose was still crooked and the tip of my nose stuck out. I called and emailed Dr Kanodia about my nose and had gone to see him. When I mentioned that my nose still did not look right he showed me pictures of my nose previously saying that I cannot seek perfection. I went again a second time because I was fed up and in pictures you could clearly see my nose was not straight this time I emailed him and sent in pictures and also had to talk to a nurse over the phone, after I did all that he called me back and said he could do injections in my nose that a second surgery was not nessesary. He had put in three injections in my nose which hurt first of all and second made my nose look swollen. That was back in March and still to this day my nose now looks distorted and swollen when I wake up in the morning or when I excerise.
I saw another plastic surgeon for a second opinion and he had said I still had a deviated septum. I emailed Kanodia twice now with no response back...I paid 12K for my surgery and its frustrating when you pay for the best still end up with results you did not want and a doctor who won't admit it and correct the problem...my suggestion is go to another plastic surgeon who would is willing to make you happy and most importantly makes you feel comfortable |

Im asian too. Im interested in getting some work one by Dr. Kanodia. Just wondering if you negotiated the price that was quoted? ALso how long ago did you consult and how long did you have to wait for your surgery.
