Patient Testimonials





Dear Dr. Donath,

I just wanted to write to thank you for everything. It has been one  year since my surgery and I continue to be so pleased with my  results. I spent years unhappy with the size and shape of my nose,  trying to convince myself that I should just "live" with it even  though it made me very unhappy. I got used to it, but even after it  no longer consciously bothered me, I would notice that upon meeting  new people or taking photographs I would make a big effort to keep my  profile out of view by looking at them head on, because inwardly I  really hated my profile because of my nose. I came to a place where I  felt I was an attractive person, but even though I was happy with  myself, my nose took away from the rest of my face rather than  complementing it. I finally got the nerve to see a couple of cosmetic  surgeons for consultations, but after leaving each consult I would  feel overwhelmed and pressured, and scared to go through with it. 

When I finally stumbled onto your services, I was impressed with the  confidence you had and the dedication you seemed to put into your  training and skills. After speaking with you for the first time you  immediately made me feel at ease, and not pressured in any way, while  at the same time letting me ask whatever questions I wanted without  feeling like you were getting "annoyed" with my million and a half  concerns like some other doctors had made me feel. You answered  everything knowledgeably and professionally, and you seemed like you  truly cared about me as a patient and as a person, which is what  finally made me decide to go through with the rhinoplasty in the end  with you as my surgeon.

Since my surgery I have noticed a whole new confidence that I never  had before! I was always a confidant person on the outside, but there  was that little nagging bit that wouldn't go away and I'd feel  disappointed when I'd catch a view of the side profile of my nose.  Now, I'm not worried about letting a date see me from the side, I  revel in it, because I now LOVE my profile. My nose looks great, and  it's amazing how just changing the size and shape of my nose helped  to make my eyes stand out more, balanced out my lips and made my chin  more prominent, whereas before it had seemed slightly receding. All  these other features were overpowered by my nose before, but not  anymore. Not only does my nose now look fantastic, you took into  account exactly how I wanted it to be and made it so natural looking  that friends I had known for over a decade didn't realize what I had  done at first. (And as a huge bonus, I can now breathe far easier  since you straightened out my deviated septum!) My friends would all  ask me if I had changed something about myself, because they thought  I looked fantastic, they just couldn't put their finger on what it  was. When I told them I got a "nose job", they all told me how  amazing it looked, and how natural! People that had previously told  me they thought plastic surgery was for insecure people were now  asking me for the name and number of my surgeon (you!) because it  didn't look like I had had anything "done"-- it looked fantastic,  beautiful, natural, and brought out the overall harmony of my face in  such a subtle, yet significant, way.  I am so happy with it that I tell everyone I know that I got a rhinoplasty done because I know they'd be so impressed with the before-and-after! I cannot thank you enough for everything, it is truly a gift that will be making me happy for the rest of my life!  Thanks again!

Yours Truly,
Jessica - New York City, NY
