I had a very similar experience as the reviewer in 2011 who had a revision rhinoplasty by Naficy. I lived with the consequence of an overresected cartilege from a nose job I had when I was young for 15 years and finally decided to spend the time and money and energy on a revision. He was supposed to fix just this problem by rotating down the tip of my nose and not change anything else about my nose - because I had gotten used to it and I didn't want to change my look - but I have ended up with basically the similar nose except it is also extremely turned up and just unnatural looking, in a way that screams I had a nose job. I was told it would change as it heals, but it's been six months and it's still nothing at all like the much more natural looking simulation.
He seemed to have a good reputation but I think a lot of it is self-generated PR and from his army of injection staff, who might be very good. I don't know if he was once good and caring but has become jaded and out for money only, or whether he's always been like that, but I would not recommend him.

Since it hasn't been a full year, I am in the process of consulting with other surgeons about the possibility of another revision. It's so depressing. I regret the revision rhinoplasty even more than the botched primary rhinoplasty, and that's saying something - the original doctor I felt was caring, responsive, and was willing to do a revision for a minimal fee (anesthesiologist) which I thought was decent of him, but I think he was simply not very good and/or this was a common (and maybe easy?) rhinoplasty mistake in those days. I might have have gone with him if he didn't live on the other side of the country and I had a flexible life. So I chose someone who I thought would do at least a decent job - I am far from a perfectionist, I just wanted a normal, undeformed nose! - but nope. The whole process is so emotionally draining and time consuming and depressing.

My mouth is sagging lower on the right side after the facelift. Not sure what is going on yet and have a follow up appointment with a new doctor. My mouth wasn't that crooked before the surgery! Also discovered they misled me into believing on my first consult with them over a year prior, and learned from insurance that they were never contacted to ask about possible coverage for scar tissue. (which means Naficy can charge whatever they want, not a contracted rate). Go somewhere else.

I'd lived with a less than ideal rhinoplasty for more than 10 years. After moving and beginning a new life I was ready to have it revised and went to Dr. Naficy based on his reputation. My main concern was tip assymetry with nasal bossae which is a fairly common complication with primary rhinoplasty. After spending all that time and all that money the nasal bossae remains and is barely improved at all; what a complete waste. I ended up having to have a third revision (I flew to NYC) to correct the problem. Furthermore, I wasn't impressed with the level of care and concern by Dr. Naficy and his office. Although I live about 10 minutes from his office, nobody EVER followed through, they honestly didn't seem to care how it turned out in the end once they had the money. Bottom line, if you need a problem solved and are looking for someone with the skills necessary as well as a little bit of caring, LOOK ELSEWHEE; Naficy is a big waste of time and money.

I never got to see Dr. Nacify because of the women in charge of sceduling consultations:namely Julie Legman. Her and I had been emailing each other trying to get a sceduled time, she was being very accomidating at first. Then one day I called her because she didn't email me back with the final confirmation and another woman took my info, then she said,"It seems like you've been dealing with Julie Legman, let me put you on hold...." Well no one every came back! I called the next day to give them one more chance and they had booked my tenative appointment with someone else! I was shocked. Three things:1.not emailing me back.2.Making me hold till I had no choice but to hang up and 3.booking an appointment time that I had for someone else. I don't know why they were so unproffessional, but it sort of hurt my feelings! Anyway, bad bad front office!

Dr. Nacify is a wonderful caring doctor. I had a facelift done by him a year ago and I am thrilled with the results.

I managed a plastic surgery office for many years. When my Dr. closed I had to find a new place to keep up my appearance. I went to see Dr. Nacify convinced I needed a facelift. He said I just needed a fat grafting to my face instead to restore a more youthful appearance. He counseled me to avoid the ‘windswept’ look you see in Hollywood. I love the outcome; the grooves in my cheeks are gone. I get botox shots from Sharon. I am a ‘bleeder’ and she has never left a bruise on my face. Amazing. And I love their reward program. I would recommend Dr. Nacify and his team to anyone.

I felt like this doctor was only interested in money and not trying to help me. I paid $75 for a consultation and he only spent a few minutes with me. Furthermore, I felt condescended to by the tone he took with me. I told him I did not want botox and was interested in alternatives. He gave me a printed estimate for $12,000 and rushed me out the door. Then, his office continued to contact me by phone and email for months, trying to sell me stuff. I was disappointed and am looking for a different doctor now.

I highly recommend Dr. Naficy. 3 of my family members including myself have gone to him for a variety of surgery issues that were facial related. His abilities and professionalism make him top of the class. His office staff ensures the procedure is understood, is caring and follows up even for small items like a restalyne shot. Highly recommended to everyone needing a top notch surgeon.

Wow, what a wonderful surgeon.It was found that I had a skin cancer in my face and Dr. Naficy was to operate. I was very nervous and could feel my blood pressure rising. I was prepped for the surgery and the numming injection caused my heart to palpatate. When Dr. Naficy came in to start the proceedure, he noticed that I was whiter than usual and in distress. Right away he raised me up so I could sit up and put a fan on me and turned on music. The coolest thing was that he started singing along with the radio to calm me down and distract me. I was ready to run out the door but after a few minutes, we proceeded with the proceedure and I am cancer free. What a great human being and surgeon.
