I was a young person seeking a revision rhinoplasty. Encouraged by online feedback that came from one or two vocal patients at that time, I paid my deposit and traveled from out of state. After a face-to-face consultation, I was surprised to find other procedures we had not discussed had been marked out on my pre-surgery photos. I declined more than once. However, I came to feel under pressure by what I perceived as a strong insinuation that my revision would somehow be more difficult and less successful without these other, unrelated procedures being included.
Feeling desperate and under my misguided perception that fixing my nose was conditional on agreeing to these other procedures, I caved. This was a huge mistake on my part. Not only was I left with an overgrafted nose that was wide, prominent and misshapen, but a grossly elongated, warped and asymmetrical face from the chin surgery. This left me in constant pain, with significant functional issues. To add to all the above, the unnecessary add-on eyelid surgery gave my youthful eyes an asymmetrical a-frame deformity, making them look rounder and older.
After realising something was very wrong, I lobbied his gatekeeper nurse for a single follow up. Eventually, the doctor deigned to devote a precious portion of his time to see me before I traveled back home. There was zero discussion, as he insisted on total silence whilst he performed a so-called examination. This lasted less than a minute or two while he stared at me unnervingly and maintained his physical distance throughout. It ended when he suddenly declared I looked better and abruptly left the room, which also happened to be the last time I ever saw him.
Months later, after an initial unsuccessful revision by another doctor, I entered the consultation room of an experienced maxillofacial surgeon. On entry, his first remark was "oh my god". I was ashamed to admit that I had no pre-surgery scans to guide his efforts, because - as I explained - I'd been told by the original doctor's staff that taking a simple x-ray was not necessary for him in the same way it was for nearly all others, before having my bone aggressively sawed off the front of my face, a hairbreadth away from the sensory nerves, skewed asymmetrically somewhere between a 90 and 180 degree angle, and nailed back on with oversized metal plates to give me the appearance of someone with a severe underbite.
This painful experience left me incapacitated at the time. To this day, I have botox and filler injections to mask the soft tissue problems and mentalis muscle dysfunction that were only partly improved by a dedicated (third) resuspension surgery. This, in addition to the other lingering failures inflicted in the same session.
If I had my time again, I'd have chosen a doctor who made my concerns their concerns, who actually cared about my results, and who came to see me before surgery to review the plan (rather than a doctor who disappears and reappears for a brief silent staring competition after all is said and done - and only because I was lucky enough to get past the staff defence line).
This was a regrettable event that changed the course of my life and I only wish I’d never had to experience it.

Horrible experience. He seems indifferent or doesn’t care about my concern, horrible communication because he did surgery that I didn’t ask for, my nose became bigger, rounder, taller and crooked. He keeps saying that it’s still swollen but this big nose ain’t going nowhere. I’m highly upset and very dissatisfied. He doesn’t care about patients. He treats patients like nothing and doesn’t care about his patients feelings.

Dr. Guyuron saved my nose

I am eternally grateful to Dr. Guyuron for literally saving my nose. After a very bad accident with MRSA about ten years ago, several other surgeons had tried to salvage my nose, to no avail. A few of those surgeries (by doctors who claimed to know what they were doing, but in fact didn’t) made things worse. When I moved to New York, I consulted with a few top rated plastic surgeons who all said they did not dare to touch my nose which required extensive reconstruction, i.e. more than just cosmetic work. A couple of them honestly admitted that they did not have the skills and experience and highly recommended Dr. Guyuron. By the time I saw him, my nose was deformed and I had problems breathing. Dr. Guyuron was very patient in managing my expectations and in explaining the process of how he was going to salvage it (staggered surgeries). The internal bone structure and septum were badly damaged, he needed to use my own fat, ear and rib cartilages in several surgeries over two years. There was almost no pain and each surgery improved my nose. I love his staff - Doreen, Mary, Tracy and all others. They are very caring and professional. I had to fly in from NY for each surgery and was well taken care of with nursing care and logistical support. Undoubtedly, Dr. Guyuron is an extremely skilled surgeon, his knowledge and skills are unparallelled. Now, I have a nice nose; I love the structure of it, and I can properly breathe again. I don’t think any other doctor could have done what Dr. Guyuron did for my nose. Other doctors who have seen my current nose have said the same.

I had scar revision surgery to my chin and it is much worse than when it was started. I was told I would need more surgery's after the fact. I was told originally that I would only need one. This has been terrible. Dr. Guyuron does not care.

A magical experience with the best doctor in the world. I can't wait to have surgery again.

Mediocre surgery experience with this provider, but afraid to say to much due to his choice to sue a patient over $1M for writing a bad review about him.

Spent an abundant five figure amount on facial surgery with Dr. Bahman Guyuron. I had a satisfying discussion with him before surgery. My only reservation had been his age (he must be in his seventies). His experience was most important to me however. Months after surgery I had my reservations about the outcome. Eventually I revealed to Dr. Guyuron it looked not especially appealing and somewhat artificial in my estimation. After offering to charge me again for surgery to adjust the result, his further response seemed dismissive to me. I have since chosen another surgeon that has tried to enhance my outcome. I'm not sure if one day I will not feel remorseful about my choice to have the surgery with Dr. Guyuron anymore if I compare pictures. But I am well pleased with what my new (softspoken) surgeon was able to do as yet. And for a fraction of the fees I paid to Dr. Guyuron. But it has not been effortless or uncomplicated.
Taken as a whole: the surgery outcome of Dr. Guyuron made me feel unsettled and therefore I am having surgery to correct. Life is much too short for all that worry and all that time spent. I have some itching ear infections after the repeated antibiotics, I also seem to lack energy. Surgery is no walk in the park. Therefore I wished my surgeon would not take my commitment to have surgery with him lightly. Unfortunately I now question the latter. I could have done many things with that money spent on surgery with Dr. Guyuron. I feel a bit foolish. I'm not an opponent of cosmetic surgery but this result indisputably made me question my decisions. If you ask me: my result also deviated from the nice results Dr. Guyuron showcases on his webpage.

I've had years of migraines but the older I got the more frequent they became. They finally were coming three days a week. The pain was terrible and my quality of life was going to work and coming home to bed. I've missed weddings, birthdays and many other parties. I finally decided I was finish with these migraines. I went to see Dr. Guyeron, he preformed surgery on my temples and my eyelids. I am now down to 1 migraine a month but I'm still healing.
