Thank you Dr.Clavin for saving my life!
My two previous nose jobs which I had by another plastic surgeons were a disaster because too much bone was removed from my nose.
I didn't like my original nose but a nose that was too small was infinitely worse. I tried to change it and consulted several doctors in New Your and Los Angeles, however they refused to operate on me. Also I was afraid to put anything artificial in my nose. When I met Dr.Clavin, I immediately felt I could trust him and I was lucky because he agreed to operate on me. Also his staff was extremely helpful and they showed me photos of his other patients who visited him after 5 or more years and their noses stayed perfect all the time.
Dr Clavin took cartlidge from the septum of my nose to the
bridge of my nose to make my bones look bigger and also improved the
tip and the shape of my nose. This was my third nose job. It was six years ago. I am very happy with the results and I like my new nose very much.
Since then I have done other procedures with Dr. Clavin like fat transfer
and botox and I am very happy with the results. They are better than I expected, in fact.
Thank you very much!!!

"I am so happy with the Rhinoplasty Dr. Clavin did this past May!!! After 2 rhinoplasties with other doctors that did not come out right at all, and extensive research on my part that lead me to Dr. Clavin, Dr. Clavin fixed all the mistakes that the other doctor's made and I finally got the nose of my dreams-- in one procedure! In fact, Dr. Clavin is so good that despite the complications associated with my revision rhinoplasty, I was looking good enough to join my sister and mother for lunch in a restaurant just 2 days after the procedure! I had no pain, no bruising, and healed very quickly due to his rare skill at the "closed" type of rhinoplasty procedure. (Other plastic surgeons--even those that are famous for working on celebrities-- told me that they would have to do the procedure "open" to get the results that Dr. Clavin got--that would have cost me a lot of pain and scar tissue that I didn't have since Dr. Calvin used the "closed" procedure.) And I absolutely love my nose now! He truly is the best rhinoplasty surgeon there is!" Also, I would like to say that "The anesthesiologist that Dr. Clavin works with is really great and I never had to worry about any dangers associated with anesthesia, which was very comforting." I want to thank him so much for making my nose look so much better!!! Dr. Clavin, you truly are the best!!! . "

"Its now day 12 after upper eyes and facelift, and I have just returned from Dr. Clavins office after having the final sutures out. I am sooooo pleased its natural but has dealt with the gravity problem. I am 45 and am a nurse trained in both i.c.u and o.r so needless to say I have seen alot of this type of work, and to be very truthful........ this is the best. The staff were a+ and little to no pain. If you want to talk to someone, Dr. clavin can give you my number, as I said look no further - he's the best. "

"I found Dr. Clavin to be extraordinarily professional but warm, technically skilled but artistic, and attuned to what I wanted and what would best achieve that goal. He did a revision rhinoplasty that was top notch - my nose looks much better and more natural now. And there was no pain. None - before, during, or after the procedure. I also healed much more quickly than I did years ago, the first time. I would recommend Dr. Clavin to anyone."

"I was considering plastic surgery for the first time. I visited several surgeons among those on the ‘Best Plastic Surgeons list’, and I felt that Dr. Clavin gave me the most realistic picture of what could and could not be done for me, and why some of the procedures other surgeons suggested would not work for me. It is about 6 weeks since I had the surgery and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. ( I had a neck lift, the bags under my eyes removed, my nose modified and my upper lip enlarged.) I feel I look considerably younger and more attractive, and the improvements look completely natural. More importantly friends who know I had the surgery can see a big improvement, while those who don’t know I had the surgery have not made any comments. Thus I feel I significantly improved my appearance without letting everyone know that I had plastic surgery. I recommend Dr. Clavin and his staff in the strongest possible terms and without reservation. I also strongly recommend Halcyon, an after-care facility that Dr. Clavin's office recommended in Marina del Ray."

"This time it happened during my annual pap smear/gyn check up. My doctor exclaimed, "YOU LOOK YOUNGER!" He DIDN'T say that I looked like I had work done. That means a lot to me. I'm happy that people are confused and not sure how I managed to turn back the clock. That is a sign of very well done, subtle work and you should be very proud of all the compliments I'm getting. I have a very hectic, high stress life with tons of work and responsibilities. I am very grateful for the years you've taken from my looks and I especially enjoy that people, even doctors, can't tell work was done because it looks refreshed instead of stretched. Thanks again."

"I got asked to prove I was 21. I figured that waiter was messing with me. Then at the Armstrong Flower Nursery the clerk said I was NOT the lady on my Driver's license, that SHE was older than me. I insisted I was me and grinned like a fool to match my driver's license photo. He said, "I'm sorry, but you are more beautiful than her."
I have to hand it to you. The overall reaction is that people are calling me beautiful, kissing my hand and acting funny. I'm enjoying it. Its fun. Thank you. Weeks ago people thought I was Patricia Clarkson. Twice in recent weeks two different people mistook me for Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger's ex-wife. (I was in full make up and glamorous clothes). I'm going to some very glamorous movie premieres and after-parties and Christmas parties and a costume ball in the next few weeks. I have more poise and self-confidence because of your work. Thank you for that. I got more compliments in recent months than I have in YEARS. People especially like the lips. Me too. Life has so much hard work that needs doing that it sort of balances things when you spice it up and try to look pretty while you work your butt off! For a while I was all work and no play and starting to look like Oscar Madison, the character who plays the slob on the old TV show THE ODD COUPLE. Now I'm having more fun. Thanks again and Happy Holidays to everyone!"
Sincerely,
S.J.

"...........following removal of a recurrent basal cell cancer from my chin there remained a hole about the size of the tip of my baby finger. I consulted with other surgeons and was told that it was irreparable. Dr. Clavin managed to fill the hole using fat grafting. I cannot say enough about this remarkable physician. The procedure was highly successful. He used the same method to improve the appearance of my lips and the results are fantastic, natural, healthy, and permanent!"
Thank you Dr. Clavin!!

Dear Dr. Clavin:
"It's been a few weeks now since my rhinoplasty surgery with Dr. Clavin,and I'm very pleased with the result. It was my second rhinoplasty—the first was done by a different surgeon. I came to Dr. Clavin not at all happy with what the other surgeon had done. My nose was quite "scooped" when viewed from the side. I went to several surgeons after my first surgery, and each told me that he would use ear cartilage to lessen the scoop effect. Dr. Clavin considered this as well, but he also brainstormed other options, including using a silicone graft instead of ear cartilage. I appreciated the extra effort he made in searching for what would give me the best result, and I decided to trust my surgery to him.
We decided that a silicone graft would be the best option. Before the surgery, Dr. Clavin clearly explained the result that I could expect. The actual result exceeded my expectations, due in part, as I understand, to some innovation on Dr. Clavin's part during the surgery. My nose is much, much improved--I'm very pleased with Dr. Clavin's aesthetic sense. I'm so appreciative of his expertise, so grateful of the interest he took in my case, and so lucky that I found him!"

Dear Dr. Clavin:
"This was my first surgery I ever had and I was very concerned about the procedure, but you and your staff were very helpful in getting me prepared for the surgery. I consulted with several surgeons before, some felt that the refinements I was looking for were not easy to achieve. But I felt very comfortable talking with you about my concerns and you patiently answered all my questions. I also trusted your aesthetic sense completely, you have a great gift. The surgery was over before I knew it and now at two weeks post op I feel great. When you took off the cast I was amazed at the subtle changes and refinements I could see in my nose. I can's wait for the swelling to subside so I can see the beautiful nose you have given me."
Thanks for all your efforts,
Sonal P.
