    Protruding cartilage

    I had rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Vartanian approximately 6 years ago. At first, I loved the results. Few years down the road, a piece of cartilage began to protrude on the right side of my nose. My nose is now deformed, as you can see in the photo. I scheduled a follow-up appointment few years after my surgery just to let him know of the issue. He obviously pretended like nothing was wrong and recommended that I apply Vaseline to the tip of my nose. Really, Doc? Vaseline? I'm writing this review solely for the sake of those considering Dr. Vartanian. It's hit or miss. I have friends who got their noses done by him and are happy with the results. I, on the other hand, will need to get a revision.

The procedure was well worth it as my scarring completely disappeared! My skin was completely renewed and this lasted for many years.

The surgical center he works with was amazing. Its a major hospital affiliated surgical center in Glendale. Not some building floor with surgical equipment. Overall process was great. I was walking the next day. Now about the doctor. I am very pleased with the results. He is the type of a doctor, that doesn't like to push the envelope. Always educates you, what is dangerous, what is allowed to do. As a person with no medical background, we don't know, what is safe, what is yellow line and what is red line. He gives you natural results. If you looking for a doctor, to give you natural look, and perform your surgery with safe medical standards he is the one to choose. For example, during my consult he told me that he will not do "to the bone" lipo. Some fat must be left for protection. I know some doctors will do it, because that is the best results right and the patient is asking for it? Take as much fat as possible approach. But is it safe for your body? Is is medically accepted practice. Those are the questions I asked myself, and did a lot of research, when I chose to take the route of liposuction surgery. For me Safety is first during surgery, my health afterwards is second. Then followed by results and outcome. I also took into consideration his more than 30 years experience in plastic surgery. Hope this was helpful for someone who is in search of good plastic surgeon.
