Hello. I had my primary rhino done over 8 month's ago, and it apparent I definitely need a revision... I have lost most hope in my primary surgeon... So am on a mission to find the right revision surgeon. I live in cali, and primarly need bridge work and collumelar work (collumela's too low). I have consulted with many doctors, and have plenty more to go.

Here is my list of doctors which I have seen and am considering to see, and their prices (let me know if they are using me for the money)

1. Dr. Gerald minniti - open - advised to wait 1 year
2. Dr. David saadat ($8,000) - open - can already do surgery
3. Dr. Rollin daniel - not seen yet
4. Dr. Nassif - not seen yet
5. Dr. Babak azizzadeh - open - advised to wait 1 year
6. Dr. Steven svehlak ($6500) - he is in the same office as ellenbogen - advised to wait one year
7. Dr. Toby mayer ($9000) - open - advised to wait until january (10 months)
8. Dr. John shamoun ($12,000) - can u believe that price!! Ima be broke - can already do surgery
9. Dr. Ciano - not seen yet
10. Dr. Sanjay grover - ($8500) - open - advised to wait 1 year
11. Dr. Corbin - not seen yet
12. Dr. Clavin - not seen yet
13. Dr. G. Keyes - ($7500)-closed - can already do it now


dr. Shamoun was the only one who said he might use ear cartilage, but that he needs the operative report, but there is a possibility that he might use it to build up my bridge. All other doctors are going to work with what I got. Any way, all I know is that this is all i'm saving up for and i'm going to be broke as hell after this surgery :evil: ... I am planning on having it after my one year mark which will be march 2006... Any way any information/advice/suggestions/anything would truly be appreciated. Thanks!!!
