I had a rhinoplasty done with Dr.Samaha approximately 10 days ago and I am already happy with the result. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. During my decision process, what really set him apart for me was that he truly was an expert in facial surgeries and he is an ORL as well, so I knew that I couldn’t go wrong with someone with credentials such as his.
I am a VERY anxious person in general, and from the moment I had my consultation until the moment I took my cast off, both the doctor himself and the amazing nurses/staff put me at ease (which is not very easy to do with someone like myself). The doctor is realistic from the start and tells you what he can and cannot do to your nose and really tries to explain to you that he will not give you a perfect nose, but a nose that is perfect for your face. That’s exactly what I feel like I got, I have already seen friends (and I am still a bit swollen and bruised) and they are all so shocked at how much I still look like myself, just with a better nose.
The surgery itself was 1000% better than I thought it would be. The nurses and doctor all tell you that it will be painless, but you don’t really believe them until you experience it for yourself. It truly was painless, and you are completely dazed out and unaware of the whole process until it’s time to go home. The recovery process went very smoothly, I did not need or use the painkillers that were prescribed to me, and the more severe swelling and bruising lasted only about week. The doctor even called me (on a Saturday) the day after the surgery to check up on me and see how I was feeling, which really impressed me.
Overall, all I can say is that if you have been hesitating about getting it done, just DO IT! I regret waiting this long to have done mine, he is truly a fantastic doctor, you are in great hands.
