Testimonials in Short:

I have never liked my nose. Thanks to genetics and a couple of direct hits a volleyball I disliked it even more. For years, I have wanted a “pretty” profile. To not have to be self-conscious and afraid of mean comments on a daily basis. I felt like I was a prisoner, forced to put up emotional walls for fear of being hurt, even by well intended peoples’ comments. I thought I would never be released from the burden of not only my nose, but my mind. One day, I was watching Dr.90210 and Dr. Nassif was on of the featured Rhino-plastic Surgeons. With complete attention, I watched in amazement at the latest techniques he had shown for a patient that had a particularly hard case…

Thank You:
To Jade, The Office, and Surgical Staff:

A Big Thank You for the loving care and patience I received from EVERYONE in the Office and Surgery Center. You always answered my questions with kindness and humor. I hope you know how many lives you touch in such a positive way, just by treating each person so wonderfully. What a Awesome Team!

To Dr. Pearson:

Thank You for calling me the night before and calming the little fear I had about anesthesia. It made a World of difference in facing the next day. Thank You also for your kindness and humor.

To Dr. Nassif:

I know there are surgeons who are “Good”, surgeons who are “Great” and the there are surgeons who are “Superior”. This is what you are to me.

May God bless you always.

"Dear Dr. Nassif

I wanted to thank you so much for everything you have done for me. I'm sending this letter to you a little later than I would have liked, but since my rhinoplasty, a lot has changed.

I have graduated from Chapman University. I have gotten engaged with my boyfriend and two months ago, we got married in orange Country. I'm also in the process of finishing law school within a year's time.

How are all these things related to my surgery? Well, I wanted to improve the appearance of my nose ever since I became a teenager. My surgery was my pre-graduation present. I wanted it so much, but I was scared to go through with it as i have never had surgery before.

With your confident and calm attitude, I was able to trust my doctor and let him do his beautiful work. My nose turned out to be EXACTLY how I wanted. It gave me the look I was hoping to achieve but more importantly, my nose looked natural. No one and I mean no one could tell that I had surgery, although everyone noticed that there was something that made me look different.

I got my self confidence and I was able to pose for my graduation, engagement and wedding pictures without worrying to see if my profile will show. And tha's the gift you have given me: the gift of NOT thinking about how I look, and just enjoying the moment.

As for the surgery itself, Ive healed in no time. I was able to walk around and do things after day two and i was able to get back to my classes after day 5. My bruises were gone in 2 weeks and I never had to take any pain medication. But most importantly, when my boyfriend (now my husband) paged you to ask a question, you have called us back within seconds!!

You care about your patients and you are there for them every step of the way. So a BIG THANKS from this patient. I have had the best experience and I would recommend your professionalism and care to anyone who thinks about having plastic surgery. You care about your patients and you are there for them every step of the way. So a BIG THANKS from this patient.

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

You recently performed my 4th and final rhinoplasty with excellent results. I came to you with a deformed nose, as well as nasal obstruction secondary to a deviated septum, following three previous surgeries. I was despondent because my nose was disfigured and felt that you understood my emotional pain. I am SO grateful to you for restoring my nose and my spirit.

You initially performed a careful assessment and then proposed a corrective plan tailored to my specific needs. You were extremely thorough in your evaluation, requiring all prior medical records and referral to several different specialists. What particularly impressed me was the fact that you took the time to read my medical history and proceeded with caution, thereby minimizing the chance of causing further damage. I am a highly anxious person, and both you and your staff were extremely patient with me. You were honest, yet kind, making certain that my expectations were realistic. You advised me that my breathing difficulties might not resolve with septoplasty. I was always aware that the goal was "improvement - not perfection."

I am still in the healing process, but it appears that the outcome of this last revision is positive and that I won’t require any further operations. You are a gifted surgeon and a wonderful human being. Thank you for making me whole again.

Sincerely,
Roxy"

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

I want to start by saying that you changed my life.  I am so happy with the results of my rhynoplasty. After years of contemplating my decision I could not be happier.  You are amazing and the work that you do is beautiful, natural and you completely understood what my goals were.  From the moment I walked into your office I had a good feeling.  Everyone was so professional yet still so warm and friendly which put me at such ease about the whole process.

Now 3 months post surgery I am still seeing the improvement.  The day you took the cast off I liked what I saw and I love it more each day as I continue to heal. Being that my nose was so difficult, every angle is improved and I still look like myself.

You treated me like such an important patient.  I can not thank you enough.  I would be honored to be able to tell other potential patients my feelings about the whole experience.  I look forward to my next follow up visit.

Sincerely,
Gina"

"I would like to thank you for my wonderful new nose.  It is odd to say "new” nose because, it looks like the nose I was born with. So, perhaps, I should say thank you for my "new”,”old, "nose.

As you know, I have been a registered nurse in the state of California, for twelve years. I have worked with many doctors and surgeons, as a traveling nurse, registry nurse and staff nurse, at some fine hospitals.

Dr. Nassif, you have a gift. Your hard work in your studies and hands-on clinical expertise is evident. In addition, your bed side manor is comforting.  You are a master at your craft. My case was challenging at best. I had broken my nose several times through out my life playing sports. Back in the mid 70’s my first broken nose was readjusted with what looked like a crow bar, (back to back trauma.)

It was in 2001 that I had "proper” Rhinoplasty. Much to my distain my nose started collapsing, slowly. I was told by my surgeon that there was nothing he or I could do; my nose was like an "eggshell!” I lived with declining functional ability and physical distortion for years.  Sometimes strangers would ask me what happened to my nose. One night, I was watching a show on cosmetic surgery. They were featuring a girl, (woman) that had Revision Rhinoplasty. She was your patient, Dr. Nassif. At this point, I could hardly breathe and looked awful. I felt, I needed help. I looked through your website and was reassured.

I took a calculated risk and had my revision with you. My surgery went well, healing was slow and steady.  I was anxious, nervous to see what I was going to look like. When you took the cast off, I read your eyes. I will never forget the look in your eyes, it was like Christmas morning. I knew my revision was a success!!!

Thank You, Bless You
Ann"

"Always the quest for beauty. Always the quest for the most perfect “ME.” In a world and a culture that is centered around beauty, it becomes increasingly difficult to become satisfied with “ourselves;” after all we are not responsible for what we look like. We did not choose our genes or our parents. So, when we are older, sometimes…sometimes there are things that nag at us about our physical appearance and we think…if only…if only…...we could just fix this ONE thing, then all will be well.

Well, that happened with me. I have a very handsome father and in my opinion, a not so handsome mother. They married at 15, quickly separated after having children and needless to say, I grew up with my handsome father in tow.

I somehow ended up with my mother's not so stunning features and waited until just before my 29th birthday, after years of yearning, contemplation and a couple of broken noses later,  to do something about it. I sought consultations with many plastic surgeons and one I came upon, Dr. Nassif,  had a three month waiting list just for a consultation. I was rude to the receptionist…”What do you mean, three months? And what do you mean I have to pay for a consult?????”…..but still, I saw the others at first, before I realized that they just wanted to make me into the mold of everyone else that they had performed on. So, I met with Dr. Nassif; a handsome, young vibrant doctor, who told me that I was beautiful and that IF I really wanted to make a change….he, would suggest "THIS." I was smitten!!!! Smitten, at the idea of A BRAND NEW ME. . I was just excited, to say the least. After our consult, he sent me a hand written letter, letting me know that he was happy to be my new doctor, if I chose so. It was a nice touch and it made me feel taken care of. Also, his assistant Jade…was like the absolute, most realest and down to earth person I could come in contact with. She put me at ease even more and gave me all of the in’s and out’s of the procedure. Honestly, she was a godsend, especially in a city of pretension and B.S., I happen to find some authenticity with every single staff member of Dr. Nassif’s office.

I was a little nervous and got especially nervous at the time of surgery, when Teresa, a nurse there, told me she was going to put a catheter in me. I got weak and almost fainted, but still….there was something about her demeanor, which relaxed me. I mean, if someone was gonna do THAT, she’d be the person to go to. On the same day of surgery, Dr. Nassif came in, bright and early…I mean…too early for anyone to work, but that was HIM. Come rain or come shine….he is THERE for you. So, he came in and said, “Where’s my girl?” I mean…at that point, I was at his mercy and his mercy was a great place to be at. I could not have felt SAFER…honestly. The anesthesiologist was a complete doll, even making me laugh enough to relieve my tension. I think I must have told her my whole life story…chattering away in my nervousness.  She’s a godsend as well. When I  awoke, I was throwing up….I am like that….but there was a nurse with me,  there the whole time, holding my hand, listening to my babble. I mean for hours, talking me down…relieving me.  I was 100% in the best hands possible…the whole way through.

When the bandages first came off, I almost fainted…my nose was swollen and I didn’t recognize myself. It was a bit intimidating. But after one month…it looked amazing…at certain angles…. and then the months went by and I started getting tons of compliments. “Your hair looks great…did you put on weight…you look so healthy….,” things like that, but never at any point did anyone notice that the something different was my nose.

Not only is that the first compliment to Dr. Nassif, but his work is as such, that nothing ever looks manufactured. He sizes up your complete facial symmetry and helps create something so in tune with the face you already have. So much so, that, no one would ever suspect a nose job. In a world of plastic surgeons who want to give you that standard button nose, that is where Dr. Nassif differs. The post consults were amazing as well. I was treated like royalty.

His work is like…..GOD….but, and I think this might be very important to note……

He will say NO. He is not a man after money or ego gratification. He is a man who is set on integrity. I came in months later and insisted my nose be yet….smaller. He flat out said NO. That, that was a surgery that HE would not perform and that he would advise no one else to perform. I went home later that day, looked at the darn thing and decided he was right. The ultimate challenge I had ahead of me was this….even though many people told me I looked Stunning…how could I, figure out a way to re-prioritize and not put my looks first? How could I…..who now looks stunning, reconcile with the old “ME,” who didn’t feel so stunning and learn to accept myself for who I really am, inside and outside of physical beauty? This is in fact the biggest compliment to Dr. Nassif, as he said, “NO.”

I think he somehow knows these things….he’s a bit of an astute psychologist.

And so I thought and cried and decided that if anyone, anywhere was ever going to consider surgery such as this that, THE ONLY HANDS YOU SHOULD BE IN, are that of Dr. Nassif’s and his staff, who continue to support and greet me with warm enthusiasm to this very day.  And….I should note…I have the most kick ass rockin’ nose EVER.

I do look beautiful and that has changed my life COMPLETELY. I wish I had more words to thank him, but the thing is…is that he really gets a kick out of this job. He derives his life’s joy from changing the lives of others…in a completely authentic and honest way.

My hat is off to you Dr Nassif…once again, as I am sure I am not your only fan.

Xoxo

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK DR. PAUL S. NASSIF, M.D. HIS EXCEPTIONAL SKILLS

"First, I would like to thank Dr. Paul S. Nassif, M.D. for his exceptional skills on my rhinoplasty surgery. The benefit that I received from Dr. Nassif is incredible and I am more than delighted for the decision of choosing him, his staff and the Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery center.

Dr. Nassif continues to be welcoming and amicable which has made my experience extraordinary. As a result of Dr. Nassif’s expertise, I am overwhelmed by the results and my new profile. Dr. Nassif has exceeded my expectations and my results look so natural. Everyone compliments on the result, adding that it looks “perfect”.

The entire procedure went great, there was no pain, or bruising and I only had minimal swelling. My surgery went better than I could have imagined. I would also like to thank Claudia, registered nurse, for her welcomed energy and personality that made my experience memorable and exciting. I would also like to thank Jade Gerard, Patient Care Consultant for her personal testimonial and for help in answering any additional questions that I may have had. Dr. Pierson, the anesthesiologist was very detailed in explaining every step that would take place which actually helped me get some sleep that night. I would also like to thank her for informing my parents (whom were in the waiting room) of my surgery through out my procedure.

I feel that the attention I am receiving for the months following post surgery are just as important as the initial surgery. The Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery staff is very caring and attentive toward detail and making sure that they answer every question.

Dr Nassif and his staff are incredible personable, professional and friendly. I would like to thank everyone for making me feel comfortable, welcomed and for the amazing result.

With thanks,
Lorraine Delgado"

"I am so very happy with my surgery results! Everyone in Dr. Nassif's office has been wonderful. Jade is so nice and really made me feel at ease. Dr. Nassif made me feel as though I had nothing to worry about. He was right, too. Everything looks so great! I was so nervous not really knowing what to expect, and I just couldn't be happier! I have so much more confidence now! I think anyone who wants a procedure done should definately call Dr. Nassif!

Thank you so, so very much!

"I want to express a special thanks to Dr. Paul S. Nassif, M.D.; Dr. Guy G. Massry, M.D.; Dr. Martin L. Gordon, Anesthesiologist; Theresa Akbari, R.N.; Jade Gerard, Patient Care Consultant; and, the staff at Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology. In addition, I want to thank Caroline Shrednick and the staff of Tranquility, an outpatient care facility and private retreat, for my post surgery care and recovery following facial plastic surgery.

On September 25, 2006, I had about 9 hours of facial surgery and reconstructive plastic surgery.  This included Rhinoplasty and lower eye fat repositioning with Dr. Paul Nassif; and canthoplasty with Dr. Guy Massry. Results following surgery have been fantastic. I look and feel incredibly great. For the first time in years I can breathe through my nose, smell and taste food, and sleep much better at night. Also, I don’t have to strain to keep my eyes open to watch television, read, or drive. Furthermore, my friends love my new looks and say I look at least ten years younger I have had women tell  me that I look “great, “ handsome, “ and “beautiful.” Moreover, the flirting is unbelievable, and I have been dating women ten to fifteen years my junior. It’s a dream come true.

My ex-wife had told me about a show called Doctor 90210. One night, while watching an episode of Doctor 90210, I saw an episode featuring Dr. Nassif. I did my research and, after meeting with Dr. Nassif and Dr. Massry, I found them to be the right doctors for me. They took the time to hear what I had to say, and understood my concerns and wishes. They explained the risks and the procedures involved. Moreover, they were concerned with my post surgery care and follow up recovery treatment. Truly, they care.

Sincerely,
Philip"

"Dear Dr Nassif,

Historically, there have been a couple of things in life that I do not look forward too; surgery and secondly a haircut.
This letter is to tell you that because of the positive experience at Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, I’ve been re-thinking the surgery part.

The warmth I received from you and your staff was great, and the final result is fantastic! The process from beginning to end had me feeling well taken care of. I knew I was in great hands.

I recommend that anyone thinking about enhancing their appearance, and enriching their lives relax and know that they are going to be well taken care of by Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology.

Now, I’m, off to research and find a good place for a haircut!!!!

Thanks again!

Female patient with a chronic open wound with an exposed medpore implant performed elsewhere. Patient did have a rhinoplasty previous to placement of the implant.   Procedure: Tertiary rhinoplasty with removal of implant and harvest of bilateral ear cartilage, left deep temporalis fascia harvest and closure of wound.     Comment: Her 4 month postop photos reveal an improved, HEALING, nose. This nose will take approximately one year before the swelling to subside substantially. Her airway is also improved and she has had no problems with the chronic wound since removal of the medpore implant. You can see more pre/post operative photos in our photo gallery.

"Dr. Nassif,
I’m sorry I didn’t get this to you sooner. I just wanted to thank you and the entire staff for everything that you did for me while preparing for my revision rhinoplasty.  I just want to commend you for the caliber of surgeon that you are! I have never had a doctor spend so much time with me; explaining every aspect of the surgery. You made sure that you understood all of my needs and concerns, and that I understood in detail every part of the surgical process. I have never had a doctor that was so detailed in the pre and post care of surgery. I truly believe that it is what made the difference in my outcome.  I have had previous rhinoplasty surgeries and have never healed too quickly! I do attribute some of that to all the precautionary measures that you took (arnica, platelet gel, oral steroids, etc). And of course your stellar surgical skills that have given me this speedy recovery. I also want to thank your entire staff for their kindness and consideration through what was really quite an ordeal for me. (Dealing with my HMO for several months) Jade was really helpful and patient in explaining your billing process and any questions I had relating to the procedure. And last but no least, please thank your anesthesiologist; Dr. Pierson! I was quite nervous due to the projected length of my surgery (5+ hours). She really put my mind at ease. I had several conversations with her prior to my surgery. She didn’t end any conversation until I was completely satisfied with everything. She was also very comforting the day of surgery. Which I’m sure as you know is very stressful. Again I want to express my gratitude for all the care and concern that you took with me through the entire process! I will recommend you to ANYONE needing any facial plastic surgery, but especially one of the most difficult procedures, Revision Rhinoplasty

You’re the Best
Christine"

"My experience with Dr. Nassif was a great one. I came to him for a Rhinoplasty knowing that he specialized in facial plastic surgery and I knew that what I wanted to modify was subtle. So I needed someone who could fulfill my requests. Dr. Nassif knew exactly what I wanted even before I went into detail about it. He even agreed on the very slight shortening of the tip of my nose which no one else but me could notice; but it bothered me. My nose turned out perfectly and I love that no one has noticed. People keep saying something is different; I look so great. Did I loose weight? This procedure has really helped my confidence and I love how I look in pictures now. Before I would dread being photographed.

Dr. Nassif and his staff are very professional, knowledgeable, and charismatic. I'm so happy with Dr. Nassif's work and have already recommended him to others."

Male hispanic patient desires a softer without a dramatic change. He also desires to have his nostrils narrowed.   Procedure: Septoplasty and open rhinoplasty.   Comment: The 3 month postop photos reveal a well-maintained masculine nose. The nose will heal up to a year and changes will still occur. You can see more pre/post operative photos in our photo gallery.

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

Thank you for keeping it real with me from the beginning. All of the other doctors I had seen before you were not very warm and caring. But you made me feel like I was not just another number.

I know that most doctors in your line of work including you are very busy. But you still showed that you CARED. I really appreciate that. Thank you for helping me loose the insecurity I had about my nose. I actually feel comfortable in my own skin, especially when I go out.

Your staff was very warm and helpful. Jade helped me feel more at ease with my surgery and answered all of my questions. All of the girls (Jaime, Patricia, Katherine, Claudia, etc.) they were all wonderful. I was confident but still nervous the day of my surgery. You and Dr. Pierson reassured me it would be fine and now I'm so happy that I went through with it. I feel better than I ever did.

Thank you Dr. Nassif and Staff
Mario"

"Dear Dr Nassif,

It took Ian and I a year of searching before we found you, yet only about an hour for you to give me the first genuine hope of having a normal nose for years.

I can't adequately put into words how you've changed my life, and a mere 'thank you' just doesn'http://www.rhinoplastyspecialist.com//t express my gratitude for the most amazing revision rhinoplasty that you carried out. For the record, I do thank you most sincerely.

After my first unsuccessful rhinoplasty twenty years ago, and the six further attempts at correction, i had practically given up all hope, but eventually decided if I could find a suitably skilled and experienced surgeon, it would be worth asking their opinion on what was possible. Having scoured the world, I am so thankful that we found you, and it was worth every penny to fly to California just for that consultation, when you created a little light at the end of a dark tunnel for me.

After taking our time over whether to proceed or not, given the complications of my previous surgeries, it was with a mixture of excitement and trepidation that we flew back in for the operation. Throughout the build up Jade and everyone else we spoke to at Spalding Drive were just so brilliant at knowing what I was going through and helping with the admin I definitely wouldn't have made it without them!

When you removed the bandages for the first time post-op I simply could not believe how straight and smooth you had made my nose compared to before, just incredible. I almost didn't want to believe it was that good in case it wasn't there in the morning! Nine months on and everything is going fine. I have a lovely nose that suits my face and every day I get to see your handiwork and it puts a big smile on my face!

You are a brilliant surgeon with an amazing talent, and I really can't thank you enough for what you have done for me, you have made my dream come true.

Thank you so much.
Sharon"

"Dr. Nassif,

Thank you for changing my life. This was my third and final nose surgery. I was a synchronized figure skater and broke it a couple times and was ready for a dramatic change. Thank you taking for taking your time (4 hours) and it turned out beautiful! Here a the comment I have received from people. Wow, Are you eyes really that blue? Yes, no colored contacts. And wow your hair looks beautiful. I believed in you and when the bandages came off tears rolled down without even looking into the mirror. I knew the results were going to be AMAZING!! You are a wonderful doctor and my results were natural and that’s what I loved! When I got back from California everyone said I looked well rested. My breathing is improved too!!! I thank Dr. Nassif, from the bottom of my heart. Your work is inspiring and there will never be an end to the effect your love of your work has on the world.

Best Wishes,
Laurie"

"Dr. Nassif and Staff,

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for finally giving me a normal nose. You and your staff are absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!! This being my 3rd rhinoplasty I was very leery about finally getting the last surgeon's mishaps taken care of. Until I met Dr. Nassif who immediately put me at ease and listened to my concerns. Then the actual surgery-WOW!- you did a great job. You truly are gifted and pay attention to details. Thank you for caring. It was a pleasant experience. Your staff at the office and the surgery center are all true professionals as well. All very patient, kind, and good at what they do. I am so thankful that I did my research for a specialized revision rhinoplasty surgeon and found Dr. Nassif and his staff.

Sincerely,
Dana"

Eastern Indian female desiring a softer, yet natural nose. She also complains of nasal obstruction and a "weak" chin. Procedure: Open rhinoplasty with reconstruction of the left middle vault of her nose with a spreader graft, bilateal lateral crural strut and rim grafts secondary to her vertically oriented lower lateral cartilages, columella strut, tip reduction, hump reduction, septoplasty, turbinoplasty and chin implant. Comment: The after photos were taken 5 months following her surgery. If tip reduction was performed alone without grafting, her external valve would collapse more and worsen her nasal obstruction. Her nose appears natural even though it still has more healing to do. The medium chin implant balanced her profile a bit more. You can see more pre/post operative photos in our photo gallery.

"Dear Dr. Nassif and staff,

You and your staff were very caring and addressed all of my concerns and questions in a professional manner. I felt very comfortable with my decision to have elective surgery with Dr. Nassif from the first consultation I had with him. He was very through and realistic about the outcomes of how my rhinoplasty and septoplasty procedure would improve my breathing and overall appearance.

Initially, I was a little scared about having surgery, but to my surprise there was very little physical pain, and although my surgery was a bit complicated the whole experience was easy for me, and my recovery was fast. I have o surgical scars and I love my profile when I look in a the mirror.

Everyone at the surgery center treated me wonderfully.

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

I'm writing this letter to thank you for the incredible job you did on both my nose and chin. I am truly grateful that I found you. I am even happier that I chose you as the surgeon to help me. It wasn't a hard decision. Your wonderful staff made me feel comfortable and confident from the very first consultation. Looking through the pictures of the past patients only made that security and confidence stronger. From the start I knew I didn't want to come out of this experience looking like someone else. I wanted to still look like myself only better. With that in mind I knew that I needed a doctor with an artistic eye that specialized in rhinoplasty who could give me the natural results I was searching for. When I met you, I knew you were that doctor.

Going into surgery, I was pretty nervous. The apprehension was mixed with a lot of excitement. After coming out of surgery, I was very relieved all the pain I imagined I would have wasn't there. I was told the procedure ran over an hurt later than expected because you are a perfectionist, and that nose had to be just right! The days following surgery I found to be the hardest. The trouble I was experiencing wasn't one of a physical nature but an emotional one. All my initial fears about coming out of this experience looking like someone else began to reemerge. I became so consumed with these doubts that I didn't even give myself time to fully heal before making up my mind on whether I liked the results or not.

I had never had any type of surgery before so I really didn't know what to expect other than what I had been told, and naturally I forgot all of that the minute I woke up from the procedure. Things like swelling affect the entire face after surgery. I remember looking in the mirror and thinking to myself Ah! My jaw looks huge. Is my nose going to stay in this strange upward position when the tape comes off? Where did my lips go? There to help me with all the fears I had Jade, Jaime, and the rest of the girls on your amazing staff. They were there to give me first hand experience which was a great relief to me through out the entire experience.

As I write this letter now I am fully healed and recovered. I am also very happy to report that when I look in the mirror I do not see all those fears staring back at me, a nose to small or to short or a chin too large. Instead I see harmony and proportion, something I never had. The lips have also returned I am glad to say! I honestly could not have imagined a better result. Side mirrors are no longer my arch nemesis, and my profile is not a constant source of embarrassment and insecurity any longer. The flaws I've spent years trying to get use to have become the strengths that bring out the positive elements in my face I could never really before fully see or appreciate. My breathing is also much better now which is essential to me as a vocalist. The tone and quality of my voice is the same as before, but the vocal power that comes with breath control has improved and helped me considerably. The best part of all is that I got what I had always wanted. I still look like me, only better. To finally feel comfortable in my own skin is such an amazing feeling, and it is a bit difficult to really express that in words. The best I can do is to give you a heartfelt thank you for what you have done for me. I could not have found a better doctor or better people.

"I was so delighted with the results of the work Dr. Nassif did on my face. Which included a lower face lift and a rhinoplasty. I have received so many compliments. However, since his work is so natural, everyone thinks I just got a new, great haircut that makes me look years younger. Dr. Nassif was so caring and patient with my thousands of questions. He always made me feel that I was very important and my concerns mattered. He is a great doctor and I highly recommend him."

Procedure: Septoplasty, bilateral turbinoplasty, open rhinoplasty with hump reduction, tip reduction, alar rim grafts, and a small radix graft.   Comments: The alar rim grafts were placed to prevent narrowing of the nostril following tip reduction.

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

I would like to thank you very much for all you have done for me. In the beginning, I was very nervous about getting my surgery done. But you and your wonderful staff gave me much courage and helped me throughout my whole experience. At first I thought I would regret this all but I'm so glad that I don't have to. I have so much confidence than before and life is more enjoyable for me. I didn't want to go through life being self- conscience of my appearance and now I don't have to. Thank you so much for everything.

"Dear Dr Nassif,

I have had the privilege of being your Patient Care Consultant since 2004. I quickly realized that your reputation and perfection of work, was indeed, beautiful. I got to see the transformation of many lives. I became one of the lives you touched and changed.

My ears and nose were far too big for my liking; I had never felt attractive and never wore my hair up. I'm 32 years old!

I now have the confidence to be proud of my profile. I look straight ahead when I drive. My husband is happy about that!!!! You have given me a dream I thought would never come true. Growing up in England one doesn't think it's a possibility. Perhaps, meant only for the rich and famous.

The best part about your work is your artistic ability - to give a natural looking nose that suits one's face.

I will treasure your work for the rest of my life. You have given me the strength to feel good about myself. You have freed me from my terrible insecurities and I thank you very much for it.

The nurses Dayana, Theresa and Mia were the absolute "Best"

Dr Pierson, my anesthesiologist, a very caring woman made me feel I was part of her family. The experience from employee to patient was of extreme importance. I got to see how they work and deal with patient's. This makes my job much easier. I know our patients are very well taken care of.

With compliments,
Jade Gerard "

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

I work as a receptionist for a surgeon who specializes in and is a master at rhinoplasty. It is my pride and privilege to work for you. Every day your work continues to amaze me.

I had always been insecure about my appearance due to the size and profile of my nose. Before my surgery, when I looked in the mirror or saw a picture of myself, all I could see was my nose. I had put much thought into getting rhinoplasty/ septoplasty surgery for years but was worried about not choosing the right doctor or how painful this procedure could be. Until I worked for you. I got to see patients the day after having rhinoplasty surgery. They would come smiling with absolutely no pain. That gave me so much confidence in your work. I realized that the person who could change my insecurities was right in front of me.

I consulted with you and realized that not only did I want to change the appearance of my nose and that I also had a deviated septum and you could fix my breathing problems. You did the morphing on the computer. My eyes welled up with tears of joy at seeing the amazing change rhinoplasty/ Septoplasty would do to my face.

And, of course, me.

The day of my surgery I was very comfortable and confident. My nurses (Dayana and Ann) and anesthesiologist (Dr. Pierson) soothed me and calmed my fears. I could not thank everyone enough for making that day come together so perfectly for me. When I woke up from my surgery, you told me immediately how perfect my nose looked. I remember being so excited and gave him a thumbs up! I wouldn't expect any less coming from such a perfectionist.

Thank you very much for changing my life, Dr. Nassif. You are truly amazing and bring a smile to my face every day. My new nose looks identical to the photo imaging you did and I can breathe so much better now. I am very thankful and at peace in knowing that I chose the best for my first and only rhinoplasty/ Septoplasty.

Sincerely,
Jaime Bangerter"

"I am deeply honored that you were my Doctor... I knew from the moment I walked in your office that you would be the one that would help me achieve on of my dreams. Being one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made, you made it easy for me. I am so happy with my nose!! It's made a world of difference in my life! I have this new confidence, and the will to do it all! It's amazing to see what feeling good about yourself can do for us! Not to mention how many people I'm attracting!!!! Ha-Ha!!! In all seriousness, I'm feeling confident, strong, smart, and very, very PRETTY!!!! This in one of my favorite comments I've heard so far: "You were beautiful before....But now... you are HOT!!!"

Thank you Dr. Nassif!

"I would first like to thank Dr. Nassif for doing a great job on my revision rhinoplasty. It has been four months since my surgery and my nose looks great. Everything that needed to be fixed was fixed and I am greatly satisfied for the way it has all turned out. Dr. Nassif is the best doctor I could have ever found. I especially loved the way Dr. Nassif had me take care of my self before and right after surgery. The staff was also so great and helpful, they are a group of friendly people. Dr. Nassif and his staff makes me feel comfortable anytime I go in. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that needs to get surgery. I wish I would have found them before my first rhinoplasty. I am very grateful to them and all am overall a happy patient.

Sincerely,
Judith Robles"

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

Thank you for the incredible job you did with my nose and chin. I love the results! It’s exactly what I wanted! You understood my needs perfectly! You are an amazing artist!

I am so glad I chose you to perform my surgery. Because I work for television news and have to be on-air in front of tens of thousands of people every day in my hometown, my face and appearance are especially important to me. I had certain criteria for a plastic surgeon: great reputation, confidence, great staff, professional office, and love for the art of the profession. I visited five plastic surgeons before I selected you! You were the only one who had it all! And now that I see my results, it’s clear that you are the best of the best!!!

From the first moment I found your website, everything fell into place. I sent Jade an email with a barrage of questions and she answered each one quickly and honestly. She is wonderful! We spoke on the phone several times and she always knew who I was and remembered my concerns and my situation. When I finally scheduled the consultation, the next day I had a Fed Ex package from Jade explaining the process and a letter from you saying how you were glad to be able to meet me.

The day of the consultation, I was thoroughly impressed with you, your staff, and your incredible facility. You understood exactly what I wanted and you told me things that none of the other surgeons I consulted with even mentioned. I was even also able to meet two of your other rhinoplasty patients who just happened to be in the office for their check-ups at the same time I was there. They agreed to talk to me about their positive experiences. My decision to choose you as my surgeon was easy.

The night before surgery, I appreciated you calling me to make sure I was okay. And the actual surgery went fine. I was uncomfortable with the packing for the first 24 hours, but otherwise not in a lot of pain from either the rhinoplasty or the chin implant. Over the next few days I ate a lot of pudding, blended fruit cups, and drank lots of water. But eventually, I was eating mashed potatoes and oatmeal. I was never in any major pain. I was back on television in two weeks, and every noticeable trace of black eyes and swelling were gone after three weeks. Everyone said I looked great and it was hard for anyone to pinpoint exactly what was different.

It has now been more than 3 months and I AM SO HAPPY! My profile is perfect. It’s exactly what I wanted! Your talent is amazing!!!! Thank you so much!

Sincerely,
Byron"

"Thank you for my new younger face. I love my eyes and for the first time in a long time, I am wearing eye shadow. I love my new chin. I no longer fear looking at my profile. My friends tell me that I still look like my self only better. That is how I feel too! The staff at Woodglen was wonderful. They made me feel comfortable each step through the process. Dr. Nassif made me feel special. He has that rare gift of making you fee that you are his most important patient. Tranquility was marvelous. I could have spent a week there. They know exactly what I needed.

Thank you so much for the new me!"

"Dr. Nassif, Jade and staff....

I just wanted to say what a "terrific" staff and "wonderful" doctor, Dr. Nassif is!

First of all...you call the office and get "any" information you need right away...then you speak with his office assistant "Jade" and she makes you feel like her long lost friend, not "just" a patient!!!!!! (Terrific person!!!!!) Everyone bends over backwards to give you information and help you out in any way possible!!!!!!

Then you have the surgery.....you are scared, but their anesthesiologist makes you feel like you're on a tropical island
somewhere and you wake up and it's all over in a blink of an eye!!!!

I must say...I didn't expect the result I got from my surgery. Dr. Nassif said that he could only expect about 80% success, and he ended up with 100% success, and then some. I never wanted to go through another revision rhinoplasty again. Now...my nose looks better than my "original" nose ever looked!!!!!! I'm so very happy with the result. I can't say enough about the skill that went into this surgery!!!!!

Please give my name and phone number to "anyone" interested in this type of surgery, so I can tell them how good you are Dr. Nassif!!!!!!!!

What more can I say?

Thanks a "million" for transforming my nose into something I can actually "look" at, after waiting for 12 yrs to find the right doctor!!!!!!

Lot's of love to all of you,

Alex (40 yr old- female patient)"

"Dear Dr. Nassif & Staff,

This is a letter of thanks for taking such great care of me before, during, and after my rhinoplasty & turbinoplasty surgery. You and your incredible staff were so supportive and warm throughout this process. Thank you. It meant so much to me.

I only consulted with one doctor (Dr. Nassif) whom I found on the internet. There was no need to look further because I felt that he was an experienced rhinoplasty specialist, which turned out to be true. Dr. Nassif is a remarkable rhinoplasty surgeon, possibly the best in the world, and he made me look just like me, only better. I can honestly say now that I am beautiful, whereas before there was always the bump on my nose that I hated. He also reduced my turbinates which has helped me with my breathing problems. Giving me a better quality of life is priceless. After all, we breathe 24 hours a day. If I had to do it all over I would do it in a heartbeat. Anyone who is interested in rhinoplasty should feel so blessed that you found the right doctor. He is truly an expert.

A million thanks,
Renee"

Female patient complaining of the asymmetric deformity of her nasal bridge. She has had 2 other rhinoplasties elsewhere with placement of a cartilage graft onto the bridge. Procedure: Tertiary Revision Endonasal Rhinoplasty with Goretex Placement Comment: The cartilage graft was warped and replaced with 2 mm thick goretex sheeting. Placing septal or ear cartilage over the bony bridge can lead to results like these. Goretex placement is tolerated very well by patients with a pleasant, natural appearance.

"You truly are a highly skilled surgeon and artist. Before you, I thought my nose was a lot cause. You surpassed my expectations for my situation. I want to thank you for being so patient with me and for answering all my questions. In addition, I truly feel you genuinely care about me as a person, not just a patient. You made me feel very comfortable. You and your staff are highly professional and my experience could not have been any better!!

Thank you so much,

Dear Dr. Nassif,

"I just wanted to thank you for a job well done, you've changed my life. I had my nose done by a previous surgeon in 1996. I was so excited to have the procedure done but low and behold came to find out my dream became a nightmare. After about 5 years my nasal cavity started caving in and was very obvious. I did not want to go anywhere. Then one night I was watching T.V. and saw you. I rushed to get a pen and paper so I can call right away. As soon as I got the chance I scheduled a consultation with you, and was pleasantly surprised with the professionalism of your office. And the great news that you gave me, "Their was light at the end of the tunnel!!!"

I just wanted to tell you THANK YOU in a big way for repairing my nose and confidence. Should you have any patients that are thinking of using someone else but you, have them call me and I'd be happy to talk with them."

Thanks again,

With a great big grin,

Mitzi, (Happy Patient)

I also wanted to tell you how much better I feel about myself. This surgery has made me feel beautiful, I carry myself with confidence now, and I also take better care of myself. Well everything worked out and I have a great looking nose and chin, Dr. Nassif you are the best! If I decide to have another procedure I will come to you.

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

First off I want to start by saying that you are one of the best plastic surgeons that I have come across. Being that I work in the cosmetic surgery field I knew which doctors to look for and which ones to avoid. I didn't have to think about looking, your credentials and experience was indication enough that I would be in good hands.

I have always wanted to get my nose done. Ever since the sixth grade I have been self-conscious about the way my nose looked. I remember a tone point I was so frustrated with the way my nose looked that I begged my parents to get me glasses, thinking that if I had glasses they would hide the size of my nose. (I would have just looked worse!) Needless to say I never got the glasses. Instead, as the years went by I became more and more serious about having surgery. I knew without a doubt that if I was going to have a nose job Dr. Nassif was going to do it for me. So I stopped wasting time and booked my consultation. He was extremely thorough in his explanation about what to expect, what not to expect, pain and bruising. He made m feel completely at ease and after talking to him I went ahead and booked the surgery with no hesitations, I was ready. This is something I have wanted and now that i am this close to it why wait?

When the big day finally came I was a ball of nerves, but the minute I stepped into the surgery center I was put at ease. The friendly staff members were amazing and were there from start to finish. I couldn't have been in better hands. After surgery I remember laying in the recovery room, the nurse had the radio on for me and I was literally dancing in the bed. I was so excited and I hadn't even gotten out of bed. I felt great, I had no pain whatsoever, and I was ready to take on the outside world with my new look.

It is now four months after my surgery and I couldn't be happier. Words cannot explain how happy I finally am with my new look. The best part of the whole surgery is that my new look in natural and that is a key factor i to a successful cosmetic procedure. Thank you Dr. Nassif for a job well done.

Sincerely,
Susan

P.S.: I don't want to get glasses anymore!"

"Dearest Dr. Nassif,

For the first time in over 16 years, I meet people without thinking about my face and without waiting for the questioning look in their eyes.

I thank you for the huge part that you have played in the Lord’s gift of restoration to me. I look back with some amazement when I think of how I found you, in a very chance conversation with a good friend, Jana, at a women’s Christmas dinner. That was the beginning of a most worthwhile journey. Thank you for helping me to be just me again.

The work that you did on my eyes really helped to lesson the lingering effects of the Bell’s Palsy. I don’t feel that I have to explain my face to people anymore. My broken nose looks close to what it looked like originally. Even my dad thought it looked good and was glad that I finally got the ‘dent fixed’! My healing continues, both inside and out!

I am so grateful for the dedication you show to your work, for the caring and professional attitude of you and your staff and for a job extremely well done!! In so many ways, I feel that I have my life back again and this feeling is due to my finding just the right physician for a complicated task.

I freely offer my recommendations for your services and would be more than happy to speak with any of your clients that would like to speak in person with me about my experience.

I count you not only as my physician, but also as a friend. Thank you again very much.

With warmest regards,

Laura"

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

This is a brief note to express my thanks for all that you have your fabulous team did for me.

I am still absolutely delighted with the results, and even now, experience many 'pinch me' moments. I really can't comprehend just how lucky and privileged I have been.

Dr. Nassif you truly are the best, thank you for your time, consideration and genius - I am very blest to have met you and your wonderful team.

I hope that we have the opportunity to cross each others paths in the future. Please take care, it was an honour, Dr. Nassif.

With Love and Blessings

Female patient desiring subtle rhinoplasty and chin implant. Procedure: Open Rhinoplasty, Septoplasty, Bilateral Turbinoplasty Other Procedure: Small Chin Implant You can see more pre/post operative photos of Dayana in our photo gallery.

After years of being afraid to undergo reconstructive nasal surgery, I gathered up the courage to finally do it. Having worked with Dr. Paul Nassif in the operating room as a nurse. I felt comfortable in knowing that I could trust him to do the best rhinoplasty as I had seen him do on all of him patients. And I was right!

For the first time in many years, I can look in the mirror and say that I love my new nose! I also had chin implant to compliment my new nose and profile. Besides all of the wonderful compliments I get from friends and strangers alike, I can breathe better than ever!! This is because I also had a nasal airway obstruction, which blocked the air passage going in and out of my nose. I feel confident and secure. I no longer fear being judged negatively by others! I’m more outgoing ad most importantly, I am happy!!

I must say that I love my results and I feel that having the surgery was on of the best decisions in my life!

Sincerely,

Dayana"

This whole process has been actually pretty easy. I had no pain after my surgery, believe it or not. Now it’s hard to believe I actually went through surgery. Dr. Nassif is an extremely talented surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone."

Female patient complaining of nasal obstruction and unhappy with her nasal hump. Procedure: Open Rhinoplasty with septoplasty. Comment: The 11 month post-operative photos demonstrate correction of the deviated septum on basal view. This patient also had vertically oriented alar cartilages. If tip reduction was performed without considering the location of her tip cartilage, her nasal obstruction would become worse post-operatively secondary to external valve collapse (nostril pinching). In this patients case, the alar cartilages were repositioned and strut grafts were placed. You can see more pre/post operative photos of Lorraine in our photo gallery.

"Dear Dr. Nassif and Staff,

Thank you so much for the difference you have made in my life. I spent 23 years unable to breathe well through my nose, and thus developed the habit of breathing through my mouth, because it was it was easier. I lived most of my life with very bad allergy problems, and took almost everything over-the-counter to remedy it. Unfortunately nothing worked, but I ended up with all the awful side effects, especially drowsiness. I remember my years in High School being the worst for my allergies. I was constantly in and out of different classrooms, and spending the time outdoors made it worse.

During my first couple years in high school I tried the different over-the-counter allergy pills, which caused me to fall asleep in class from the drowsy affects, and I still walked around with a box tissues all day. By my junior year, I tried different prescription medications and nasal sprays. The nasal sprays never worked, and I was only able to find one prescription allergy pill that helped a little with the allergies, but I was still unable to breathe comfortably through my nose. Aside from my breathing problems, I was also very unhappy with the cosmetic appearance of my nose. For nearly 10 years, I have been wanting to change the shape of it, but never had the courage. I actually began looking into it a year and a half ago. I did make an appointment at another plastic surgery center for a consultation, but after talking to a co-worker, I promptly canceled my appointment. She told me her friend had her nose done at the place I was going to, and it turned out really bad. Since this surgery would be on my face, I wanted to make sure I found a good surgeon.

I saw an advertisement for cosmetic surgery, and I decided to make an appointment for a consultation with you. After we met to discuss both the medical and cosmetic reconstruction, it wasn't long before I decided you would be the best surgeon for the job! I was a little nervous, but yo
