I was thinking of using Dr Tabbal until I read some terrible reviews about him. I thought he was considered one of the best. Is there anyone here who can give me some imput on him, whether bad or good ?
Honestly, i dare you to find a single doctor that doesnt have bad reviews.. rhinoplasty is a very hard procedure and in the last 10 years.. its no longer about having a big nose and making it smaller or a big bump and making the bump smaller..
were into certian specific noses shapes and angles etc.. etc.. poeple dont want to live with substandardard noses.. and if they dont get it..
then the doctors become monsters.. Kanodia does amazing noses but because he doesnt cuddle his patients the women say hes mean.. Toruimi likes bigger noses and so people call his noses potato noses.. its like.. comoe on..
tabbal is decent.. but theres diff better.. is this primary or revision? diff better revision doctors.
I consulted with Tabbal. He might be a good option for a primary or simple revision. I am not sure he is the right dr for a complicated revision. Just my opinion.

I had a revision rhinoplasty with Dr Tabbal about 7 years ago. I wasn't happy with what he did right away, as I was very specific with how my nose looked before. I brought tons of photos that he didn't care to pay attention to. He changed the shape of my nose, including the tip. When I asked if he could fix it, he said it would be close to impossible as I had too much scar tissue now, but he was "sorry"--, yes, he didn't copy the photos. (He shrugged) It's much wider too. But now, several years later, I can't breathe, and my nose has collapsed a bit too. I'm going to have to have my septum operated on soon, but at least that will be covered by insurance! I have a friend who had a great experience with her first rhinoplasty with Tabbal, so I can't say it's not for everyone.
But I would shop around, and go to someone who paid more attention, and also see who had a nose I liked by a doctor that did the surgery. That's the best way. I wish I had done that!! Good luck to you!
