Rhinoplasty Patient Reviews
"I got rhinoplasty done by Dr. Shahar in December of 2021. I've always been insecure about my features, particularly my nose. When I went in for a consultation, Dr. Shahar knew exactly what needed to be done for me to end up with a natural look. He's had decades of experience and knows tried and true techniques for achieving the most natural looking nose. I had never had surgery before so I was of course scared of being put under anesthesia. He held my hand as I was being put under which helped me calm down. Afterwards, while I was recovering, I had a ton of questions. He had given me his phone number and assured me that I would not be annoying him by texting him with questions. Everything was answered in a timely manner. As for the end result, I'm still 3 weeks post-op, but even so, I am loving what I am seeing so far. The best part is that this new nose fits my face in the way that it is supposed to. It's not what you would call a "cookie cutter" nose job. If you are looking to get rhinoplasty, I would highly recommend Dr. Shahar. He knows what he is doing and you will know this as soon as you walk into the consultation room."
