Dr. Donath,

I just wanted to express my gratitude and let you know how much you have changed my life! After years wanting my nose done followed by years of contemplation and apprehension (and researching plenty of plastic surgeons) I was finally ready after seeing your rhinoplasty portfolio. I was very particular in what I was hoping for and would settle for nothing but the best. It is my face – after all!

Sure enough, almost a year after my surgery, my results are phenomenal and my confidence level has gone through the roof. I think the highest compliment came from an unsuspecting acquaintance in New York City. He could not believe that I had my nose done (something I am happily open about) and actually asked for your name and number to give it to his girlfriend who has been dying to get hers done! In what I like to think of as The City of Nose Jobs, mine was thought of as exceptional. What a great feeling. I was even comfortable being a last minute extra in a commercial where I would only be shown from my profile. I can assure you that 1 year ago that would’ve been one of my worst nightmares.

I couldn’t be happier and have absolutely no regrets about entrusting you with my surgery – the best decision I have ever made. Thank you again for ridding me of any and all insecurities I may have had and for replacing them with the utmost pride and confidence I could’ve ever hoped for.

Re: Bilateral Blepharoplasty
I am happily surprised at how my field of vision has improved. I can see much more of the world around me. My night vision has improved significantly especially while driving. My peripheral vision is also greatly improved. I have to remember to wear sunglasses more often, as there is a lot more light coming into my eyes. My family, friends, and co-workers look at me and notice a difference, but they can’t tell exactly what is different. I feel this procedure has not changed my appearance, it enhances it. People say I look like I did 10 or 15 years ago.

Thank you Dr. D for “opening my eyes.”

Thanks!

With a history of being unsatisfied with a previous rhinoplasty. I was looking for a plastic surgeon who I could trust to be professional, technically skilled, and compassionate to my situation. I found that Dr. Donath and the staff of Cincinnati Facial Plastic Surgery. My post-surgical recovery went so well and the results are wonderful! If you want to feel confident your Revision Rhinoplasty will be a success then Dr. Donath should be your surgeon! I’m grateful I found him and so happy with my results! Thank you Dr. Donath!

RE: Quicklift, Fat Transfer, Neck Subtuck, Liposuction

I love my new face. My only regret is that I waited so long! It’s a big decision to change your facial appearance. It all boils down to what you’re willing to do about the way you look. You have to weigh the difference between the fear of plastic surgery, versus the depression of looking old. For me, I got so I hated to look in the mirror. There are no creams or lotions that can hide the sagging and signs of aging. I felt like a young person trapped inside an old woman’s face.

Dr. Donath immediately made me feel at ease. I felt he understood exactly what I wanted. His sense of caring was genuine and personal. I sensed he was sure of himself and what he could do for me. His office staff was always warm and friendly and never too busy for me. I felt very comfortable with him and I am so thankful for what he has done for me. It is as if he turned back the clock for me. He has virtually given me a second chance. The level of confidence I now have has given me a whole new outlook on life. A more youthful appearance has affected my mental attitude. It has only been a few months and i can hardly believe the difference. The loose skin is gone!!! Furthermore, my face doesn’t have that “pulled tight” look which I have noticed on other women who have had face lifts from other doctors. I see pictures of myself before and I shake my head. Out with the old indeed!

Thank you Dr. Donath!

Re: Quiklift, Fat Transfer, Rhinoplasty

I’m a 65 year old man and I had great results! Dr. Donath is clearly talented, and between Dr. Donath and his staff, I couldn’t have been in a better place.

My procedures went smoothly and my results were perfect. My Rhinoplasty, instead of drawing attention to itself, made my nose fit my face perfectly. I worried about facelift scars, but the manner in which Dr. Donath hid my Quicklift incisions was truly remarkable.

I’ve only experienced on side effect as a result of my surgery and that’s been having to fight off the younger woman – HA!

Forever grateful,

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,

Hi Dr. Donath!

I just wanted to thank you for your fine surgical work performed on me on Sept.17th.The entire Quick Lift and results have been more than satisfactory, and I have received numerous compliments on my new face. The most important opinion is of course my own and my husband ‘ s and we are both very pleased.

Prior to committing to surgery I researched and visited several local plastic surgeons and was very disappointed with the manner in which their personnel handled prospective surgery candidates. My experience was much the same at each practice and included a very brief face to face meeting with a staff member (not an R. N. and never the surgeon), being asked what my interests were, and receiving brochures .

After my visit there were no follow-up phone calls or emails. Conversely, at my initial visit to your office I was given a very comprehensive description of the Quick Lift by Ellen Fox, who took her time and answered all of my questions. It was Ellen who allayed any fears I may have had about the surgery and results. She explained every detail from pre-surgery instructions to post-surgery care and final expectations. If I had not been able to see you personally my decision to have the surgery was made because
of Ellen, who also was very helpful with my pre-surgery phone questions. I of course was very glad to talk with you personally about the surgery and expectations at that first visit and you gave me added assurance about my decision to schedule the procedure. I am very grateful to both you and Ellen. I also reiterate my gratitude for the lovely flowers I received the day after surgery.

They were a lovely surprise that cheered me up. I believe the most compelling testimonial from a patient would be their response to t h e question, “knowing the experience would you do this again,” and my answer is definitely ” yes .” And I will definitely send my friends and acquaintances who seek facial enhancements to you. Thanks again for a very pleasant experience and excellent results. (I’m sure I’ll be back soon to get my puffy eyes fixed.)

Sincerely,

The doctor and entire staff at Cincinnati Facial Plastic Surgery were very considerate and caring during and after the procedure and the follow-ups. Dr. Donath called me on the night after surgery, just to make sure I was doing alright. I recommend them highly to anyone interested in facial plastic surgery.

The procedure was very easy, more than what I expected. There was no pain or discomfort for me after the procedure. The whole staff was great before, during and afterwards. I would recommend this doctor to anyone considering this procedure. I was very pleased with the outcome.

Dear Alex,

I forgot to thank you for the beautiful flowers you sent me! They are so cheery in their cure little smiley-face vase! And I want to thank you for your skillful work in removing awnings from my eyes. Even through the bruising I can see how good my eyes will be. I’m thrilled!

Thankfully
