Clavin Center

I was searching out a rhinoplasty nose expert for several years. I did not feel confident to have cosmetic surgery done to my nose until I met Dr. Clavin. I was very fortunate to find him. He spent one hour with me explaining the procedure to cosmetically transform my nose to enhance my facial features naturally. It has only been one month since the surgery and I am so pleased with the result. Thank you Dr. Clavin for making the whole experience so comfortable with no pain and fast recovery. Your anesthesiologist and the whole team where also terrific.

I had a rhinoplasty done with Dr. Clavin 4 days ago. I did a ton of online research and had 3 in office consults with doctors in the LA area before choosing him as my surgeon. He was the most attentive surgeon to my needs, the least pressuring and the one who made the most sense about how to go forward with my procedure. I obviously can not comment on the results yet as the splint is still on, but as far as everything up to this point Dr Clavin and his staff were great. More comments to come after results…
Ok so it’s now been enough time to comment on how it looks and it LOOKS GOOD! My procedure wasn’t a major one as almost nobody can tell I’ve had anything done except my best friend and boyfriend. I just wanted it a little straighter and a little less bulbous. Well the bulbousness (is that a word?) has been taken care of and it is straighter but it is not as straight as I think it could be. When I told Dr. Clavin about this he agreed that it wasn’t perfectly straight but was extremely adamant that even now I am still swollen and in another 6 mos or even a year I will still continue to see changes. Hmmm, I don’t know about that. Before my procedure we talked about adding cartilage to one side and rasping the other to achieve a straight nose but during surgery after adding cartilage he felt that the rasping would be too much and didn’t do it. I can’t fault the guy for doing «too little» rather than going to town on my nose. I really impressed upon him before the surgery that I did not want to look like I had a nose job however I keep thinking that a little bit of rasping would have been nice. I guess I will know for sure in a year. Overall though I am happy I had it done and I am happy with Dr. Clavin and his office. Feel free to im me thru Unilocal if you have questions about anything.

I love Dr. Clavin. I’ve had him do a couple of peels, some fat injections and belpharoplasty. I’ve referred a couple of friends who have also been happy. He is pretty conservative which is perfect for me because I don’t want to look «done». He also has the best anethesiologist on the the planet (Dr. Einstein… I’m serious… That is really his name). The only reason I didn’t give him 5 stars is because he is convinced that his fat injections are permanent and I am just as convinced that they are not.
