"Review I went to the Petroff Center for a rhinoplasty. From the very first consultation, I felt very comfortable. Everyone there is amazing, they are all very knowledgeable and are there to answer any questions. I felt very confident going into my surgery and taken care of every step of the way. After surgery, they called to check in and make sure I was doing well. I love my results and couldn’t be happier that I finally did this, I have been wanting to fix my nose for a very long time and he gave me exactly what I was hoping for, I feel so amazing and confident now! Thank you Dr. Petroff!"
"I had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Petroff and everyone I met at the Petroff center! I had wanted a rhinoplasty for years and Dr. Petroff explained the whole process to me and listened to what I was hoping to get out of it. I felt completely informed and supported the entire time. Pre and post surgery I felt safe and taken care of. They also checked up on me constantly after surgery and made sure I was doing well. I am so happy with how my nose turned out and forever thankful to Dr. Petroff and his team!"
"Dr. Petroff did my daughter’s rhinoplasty about 3 months ago. Her nose had been an insecurity for most of her life. Along with the insecurity, breathing was difficult for her. Dr. Petroff fixed both problems beautifully. It looks so natural and has given her confidence to take pictures. I worked in the medical field 20 years ago for an old school doctor that taught exactly how excellent patient care needed to be done. The moment you walk in the door you will feel the excellent, old school patient care by his staff and the doctor. The way things should be done by every medical office."
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Straight from my consultation day to now (6 week post rhinoplasty) my experience at The Petroff Center was the best care I could have ever imagined. Every single staff member I encountered throughout my journey has been the absolute warmest, I believe that is vital when you’re dealing with something as nerve wracking as surgery. They did a phenomenal job at making sure I was being taken care of 100%. I appreciate everyone for making me feel at ease from the moment I walked in. The day of surgery I had both my parents join me- the center was just as kind, informative, and hospitable to my family as they were with me. They even went as far as offering a private room for them to wait and relax-this room included a comfy couch and a tv. 😆 The surgery itself was a breeze-the 2-3 hour surgery felt like 20 minutes. Happy to say I NEVER felt any pain, slight discomfort at its worst. Had a nurse check in on me that evening (much appreciated!) I always felt like I had someone from The Petroff Center holding my hand through the experience. Above all-of course, I want to give Dr.Petroff a huge thank you for making one of my long time dreams come true. The day the cast came off I cried happy tears on my drive back home. Despite the healing journey only beginning I could already see the results I always longed for. The best part is that I get to see my nose transition throughout the year and I only love it more and more. I am beyond thankful for having someone like Dr.Petroff near me but honestly I would have traveled anywhere to get the results I see today. He is truly passionate at what he does and I think his office and staff are a shining testament to this. If you’re doing your research on a top place to take your business look no further. This is the place for you! Thank SO much to everyone at the Petroff Cebter! ♥️"
"I had rhinoplasty surgery completed with Dr. Petroff, I really liked the result, it's so natural and beautiful. The Doctor really did what I wanted, and he was very patient and listened carefully to me, everyone was very kind and supportive, thank you so much."
"The nurses, support staff, and Dr. Petroff were amazing every step of the way, from my first appointment through facial surgery and beyond. Highly recommend The Petroff Center. In August of 2023, I had a brow lift with facelift done by Dr. Petroff. The outcome is fantastic. Not only am I a younger looking me, but the facelift reconstructed a scar on my face that I'd lived with for 10 years. In 2013, my ENT doctor discovered a tumor in my salivary gland. The tumor had to be surgically removed from my left parotid salivary gland. While the tumor removal was successful, it left a deep indentation on my face, just in front of my left ear; in addition, I developed a condition called Frey's Syndrome due to trauma to the auriculotemporal nerve. This means that when I ate, or even thought about food, I experienced intense gustatory sweating from the parotidectomy surgical scar. Basically, the nerve would produce moisture (sweat) on the facial scar when I was supposed to be salivating. Yikes! (Napkins came in very handy!) Well, the amazing miracle is that Dr. Petroff filled the scar indentation in front of my ear by recruting fat from my lower jawline. And, at the same time, he removed the area of skin and damagerd nerve that cause the Frey's Syndrome. I three months post facial surgery and I am so happy about having plastic surgery at the Petroff Center. I just wish I'd done it sooner!"
"Stunning results! Incredible experience! Painless facelift with amazing results. Best thing I’ve ever done. Thank you Dr Petroff and your amazing staff!"
"Staff at Petroff Center are very kind and ,professional. Dr Petroff answers all you're questions ,very calm and comforting demeanor and knowledgable..This place is great. I am age 54 and researched Dr Petroff many years ago and hoped one day to have Dr Petroff do my rhinoplasty , finally did it and I am very satisfied and happy with my new nose, pain was very minimal. His office clinic is beautiful and very clean , his anesthesiologist and nurse who assisted in the surgery ,were very courteous and kind.Thank you very much Dr Petroff , you made my dream come true, you are truly talented."
"I have only had a consultation but feel confident that this is where I will be wanting to have my rhinoplasty surgery. Dr Petroff comes very highly recommended by a group of women in my community and inner circle. I have seen the results of his procedures and I feel confident that he understands why I want this procedure done and what it will mean to me. He talked me through the process they perform day of surgery and after care healing processes and recommendations. I am so ready!"
"Dr. Petroff is an Artist! - Ever since I was a young girl, I had always been unhappy and insecure with nose. I didn’t like it’s shape and always knew I had a deviated septum which made it difficult for me to breath at the same time. I had always dreamed of a rhinoplasty and I am so glad that I did my research and put my faith in Dr. Petroff and his team. From the first phone call, they all made me feel so comfortable and reassured. I am only a week and a half post op and my nose looks incredible. I am brought to tears with what Dr. Petroff and his team have done for me, my life is changed because of this procedure and I am grateful! Thank you so much! "

"I recently (as in 8 days ago) had a rhinoplasty (technically a septumplasty) with Dr Petroff and his excellent team. I live in Denver and when I was looking for a high quality surgeon, I couldn't find one in my area. (Sorry Denver surgeons!) Based on family and friend recommendations I reached out to the Petroff Center and from the first call to the final removing of my bandages, I felt safe, I trusted the team and my outcome was FANTASTIC. I'm only one week in and already love the result and know it's only going to continue to get better as my swelling goes down. Thank you so much."
"The Petroff Center did an amazing job. I went In for a rhinoplasty and a otoplasty the same time. I was fairly nervous and excited to get the procedure 8 was having done since it was my very first surgery I’ve ever had. Everyone was so wonderful and comforting. They told me exactly what to expect before hand and reminded me multiple times before the surgery of the dos and dont’s to ensure best results. I especially had a great experience with Heidi, Christie and Tiffany the anesthesiologist. Of course Dr. Mark Petroff works wonders and listens to exactly what you’d like as an outcome and performs exquisitely to those standards. I highly recommend anyone who would like to get a procedure done to consider him."
"I recently underwent rhinoplasty (nose surgery) about 2 months ago in September. After over 5 years of research I finally decided to go for it after finding Dr. Petroff. He had so many before and after photos that showed he is more than experienced in rhinoplasty surgeries. I scheduled a consultation appointment and all the nurses were so nice and professional. When I met Dr. Petroff, he not only listened to what I had in mind and what changes I wanted to make to my nose, but he also made suggestions and talked me through the process. Him and his staff answered all the questions I had and I was ready for surgery in about a month after my consultation, which goes to show how comfortable they made me feel since I tend to be an over thinker. Surgery went great too! If you’re thinking about getting rhinoplasty I highly recommend Dr. Petroff and his team. They truly care about your wants and needs and will make sure you are 100% satisfied and comfortable. I love my new nose, and it gives me the confidence I’ve lacked for so long. Thank you Petroff center!"
"I had rhinoplasty with Dr Petroff in the summer of 2005. This many years on I can attest to the quality of his skill. Completely natural looking and absolutely improved my life."
"Thank you so much Dr. Petroff. From the moment I walked into the Petroff Center I was so very completely taken care of by experienced, friendly, and competent staff. I found Dr. Petroff to be a very talented and brilliant plastic surgeon. The facelift I received made my kids say “Mom! You look 30 years younger!” (slight exaggeration). I received the best care and from the best doctor ever! Dr. Mark Petroff is a perfectionist. I look amazing and feel wonderful after only two weeks post surgery! The face and neck lift look very natural. Examples: Turkey neck – gone, I can feel my trachea; pixie ear gone, he gave me ear lobes; my high cheek bones are back along with my happy smile. After interviewing a number of surgeons Dr. Petroff was the only facial plastic surgeon would make an incision hidden inside the hairline. I was out in the public within four days when I was able to have dinner at a restaurant with my son. He listened to my concerns and preformed a scar revision from work left by another doctor years ago. I am so grateful to another plastic surgeon who recommended Dr. Petroff. He told me that Dr. Petroff is the best at facial surgery and would send his mother to him for a facelift. I took his advice and I am so thankful I did. Oh, and by the way, it was not that painful at all, just a bit uncomfortable. Go for it!"
"I am extremely satisfied with my rhinoplasty."
"I had been wanting to get a Rhinoplasty for many years and finally went for it. From the very beginning they were welcoming, clear about the process, and comforting. I had multiple calls up until my surgery to meet the nurse and anesthesiologist over the phone and ask any questions. I can’t describe what a relief it was. Surgery went super smooth as well as recovery! I would do it over again if I had to because my experience was nothing short of amazing. If you’re on the edge about whether or not to go to Dr. Petroff, I’m telling you, you have nothing to worry about. I’m in love with my results and it’s the best decision I have ever made! I now wish I would have done it sooner."
"Recently underwent rhinoplasty and Dr. Petroff and his team did a wonderful job!"
"Best Choice I Ever Made - I had always been self conscious about the appearance and shape of my nose and had previously looked into other surgeons in the New England area where I live. After hearing a great review from a family friend about Dr. Mark Petroff, I was convinced to take the trip to Portland for the procedure. The entire staff was extremely helpful and a delight to work with, making sure you are well informed at all stages. The results of the procedure left nothing more to be desired. Dr. Petroff takes a lot of consideration into making the results look as natural as possible and I am glad I chose to go to the Petroff Center for my rhinoplasty."
"Rhinoplasty - Excellent every step of the way!!! - The surgery and every single appointment before and after was conducted professionally and absolutely all of the staff were incredibly kind and empathetic. I really cannot say enough about the staff they were all very open and made me feel comfortable asking any questions and voicing any concerns. I was originally considering going to CA for surgery but am SO glad I didn't because my experience here could not be topped. The results of the surgery are exactly what I wanted and Dr Petroff was so diligent about making sure the results look natural that I never had to worry. The end results fit my face perfectly. I would recommend this practice to ANYONE - friends or family."
"Could not of had a better outcome! - I love my new nose and its all thanks to this Dr. I used to hate taking pictures because i would fixate on my nose (as a kid i was teased for having a big nose) but not anymore. I actually have a cute nose now and its only been 3 months (it will fully set within a year is what i was told. From the very beginning Dr Petroff was on the same page as me. Everyone at his office treated me kindly and with respect i was really really anxious. He even fixed my airway (one side was crooked)so i can breath better now. My sister loves my nose soooooo much that she is going to set an appointment with him as well."
"I have spent most of my career in a helping profession and teaching others how to help. I teach the importance of self-care and the replenishing the mind, body, and spirit. Yet, I did not follow my own advice - for years - and it impacted my health and my appearance. I met Dr. Petroff when he performed the most beautiful rhinoplasty on my daughter and was immediately impressed with his professionalism, bedside manner, and skill. At the time, I was just so pleased my daughter was in safe hands. But he and his staff are infectious in their commitment to patients and to meaningful and thoughtful engagement with their patients. I took the plunge and decided, for my own wellbeing, I would invest in myself with the works - facelift, rhinoplasty, and whatever else Dr. Petroff would suggest. In our first meeting he listened with empathy, heard the meaning behind my words, and said no. He told me I didn't need "the works." He told me exactly what he would choose to help me look like a healthier, younger version of me. He told me he thought I looked sweet and he could make me look sweeter. It was not a line. He was turning down work to give me what I was really asking for. That is integrity. From the moment I said yes, his entire staff - from scheduling to nursing to accounting - were attentive, clear, informative, and thorough. I knew exactly what Dr. Petroff would do, how he would do it, and who would help him. His staff called regularly to schedule and confirm appointments. Those appointments were never cancelled and I was always seen on time. Even his anesthesiologist was sweet, well-informed, and pro-active. She called before surgery to review her plan, reiterated it the day of surgery, and followed it exactly. Surgery went perfectly and just as described. I followed their directions for my aftercare and relied on their workbook (yes, they give you a workbook to outline the surgery, procedures, recovery, and it even emphasize the emotional impact of the surgery and recovery process). I am two weeks out from surgery. I have had two ultrasound appointments to reduce swelling (heavenly), a makeup session to learn to cover bruising (licensed estheticians), my staples and stitches removed by two different nurses with the most steady and gentle hands ever, and regular check-ups with Dr. Petroff. I know that people who watch too much television about plastic surgery might think this is a vanity field. I know that for Dr. Petroff and his staff, this is not about vanity. They genuinely understand that how we look is a reflection of how we feel and how we feel is reflected in how we look. By honoring their clients, they honor the value of self care. And, I wish he was not so busy because, besides his surgical skills, if I could download his interviewing techniques and employee training and management principles, I would. The staff is remarkable - without exception. Thank you, thank you, thank you all!"
"So happy! - I did hours and hours of research before deciding on a surgeon for my rhinoplasty. I am so glad I chose Dr. Petroff. His work speaks for itself. I’m such a happy patient."
"Dr. Petroff is the BEST!!! - I chose Dr. Petroff first because he is double certified, so not only do I have a beautiful nose but also a functional nose. The second reason I chose him is, because he creates a nose that fits your face not just the same nose for everyone like I have seen with other surgeons portfolios! I love my new nose! I used to run away from getting my pictures taken because of my large hideous nose but not anymore! Dr. Petroff and his staff are top notch 100% the best and I recommend them to everyone!"
"Couldn’t have gone better! - My experience with the Petroff Center and Dr. Petroff couldn’t have gone smoother! Everyone was very professional, courteous, kind and knowledgeable. Dr. Petroff was cool, calm, and collected. I had full confidence in his skills and ability to care for me. My surgery ‘felt’ like 30 min, my anesthesiology provider made accommodations for all my concerns, and I had zero nausea, which I have had a A LOT of after anesthesia. I had basically no pain after my rhinoplasty, and bruising and swelling was super minimal! I was so surprised that after only 1 week post-op, that the tiny bit of bruising was virtually gone! No concealer needed! I’m happy to report that it was kind of a non-event, because the experience went so well. I wasn’t sure my nose could be straightened, but I’m thrilled with the results already! I highly recommend The Petroff Center!"

"Dr. Petroff is meticulous! - Four months ago Dr. Petroff performed my lower facelift and chin implant surgery and in my opinion the experience and results are the finest possible.I’ve had 3 prior plastic surgeries mostly on a congenital body issue. Two of the surgeries successful, and one, a very bad experience. I’m knowledgeable of what can go right, or wrong, with a surgeon. I spent two years researching physicians to perform my facial surgery, consulting with four. I was scared because of my prior bad experience and this surgery was on my face. All the quotes varied only by a few hundred bucks. Why am I so impressed with Dr. Petroff?1) He’s only performs surgery from the neck up. Why would one trust their face to someone who ‘specializes’ in the whole body? How can you ‘specialize’ in everything?2) Dr. Petroff is a serious guy. He isn’t the cheer leader type that’s going to convince you that surgery will change your life. He’s re-assuring about what can be done, but he is not going to convince you to do it. He’s patient, kind, quiet and gentle. I think he prefers to under promise and over deliver. 3) His approach to anesthesia. This is at the top of my list. Do not be afraid of the twilight anesthesia. When he says “at times you’ll be awake but you won’t care”, he means it. It was so much easier to get out of my system. I felt great after. Not one unpleasant painful moment during the whole thing. I loved Jeannie his anesthesiologist and wished I could take her home.4) He consulted with me twice. No Problem. It’s a good thing too, because we decided to change the chin implant type. A decision I absolutely love. Don’t be afraid to talk to him. You must communicate what you are thinking.5) Dr. Petroff is meticulous in every way.His sutures: Tiny, meticulous and invisible in a month.His staff: You find a team of beautiful, kind gals who operate that office and operating room like a fine tuned Swiss watch. It was quickly notable how Dr. Petroff and this staff had thought of absolutely everything. The experience was so meticulous I actually mentioned it. They were appreciative that I noticed and confirmed, it is in fact, intentional. I loved them all and actually miss them now that it’s over. His office building: It beautiful! The furnishings are stunning! He has a separate waiting room for surgery patients and their family. It really puts you at ease. It’s clear that Dr. Petroff is a successful surgeon and I love that he chooses to reinvest back into his practice and appreciates beautiful surroundings. It tells me, beauty, is a high priority for him.6) Dr. Petroff sends you home with roses. Who does that? Not one surgeon ever before. A detail and cost not required, but chooses to do it anyway. I can’t say enough about Dr. Petroff and his staff. They do not disappoint! The results are so good!"
"I want to thank Dr. Petroff and his incredible staff for being so helpful and friendly throughout the entire process of my rhinoplasty surgery. Everything went smoother than I could have ever imagined and I would have done the surgery much sooner knowing what I do now. I did research on many cosmetic plastic surgeons in the Portland area and elsewhere. After hearing good things from friends and others who have had experience with Dr. Petroff I decided to schedule a consultation. When I met with Dr. Petroff he was very clear and confident about what he could do to improve the look of my nose as well as what to expect throughout the process. Now that the surgery is over I'm extremely satisfied with the result. I would recommend that anyone who is considering getting a rhinoplasty surgery go see Dr. Petroff."
"Dr. Petroff is amazing. He gave me an adorable little nose. surgery was a breeze I had minimal swelling and bruising and was able to be back at work in like a week. Definitely recommend!"
"Absolutely Excellent!Dr. Petroff is an artistic genius and his entire staff is fantastic. I had a Rhinoplasty surgery that completely changed my life for the better. I went from hating my nose and therefore face, to LOVING my nose and face!His skill and precision are unmatched. Do your research and you will quickly find, he is the best of the best. My new nose fits my features perfectly and brings out my more subtle feminine features that were completely overshadowed by my original monster of a nose!The entire process was smooth, professional, thorough and kind. I still keep in touch over a year later.One thing I would like to add about the Rhinoplasty procedure, in general, is that it can be devastating when you first see your new face. My nose is better than I could imagine and I was still horrified the first 48 hours after I saw the results. But that was it. After about 2 days I quickly went from "Oh my God..." to "Oh my God!!! --- this is GREAT!!!"HIGHLY recommend Dr. Petroff and team!"

"I have been searching for a plastic surgeon for a little over two years and I have been unhappy with my nose since i was 15 years old. i am so happy that I was referred to Dr. Petroff. My results are more than i expected and when my cast was removed I had told back tears and my nose was still so swollen but i could tell automatically how straight and perfect it was compared to what it was. I had a badly crooked septum and deviation. I also will say the staff is truly amazing and makes you feel special from the moment you walk in to when you leave. Brianna, Kelsey and Jeannie thank you for taking amazing care of me and Dr. Petroff, thank you for giving me the nose that i have been dreaming of."
"Love love love my nose!!!! It’s only been 6 weeks with a little bit of swelling still but I can tell it’s gonna be so cute & natural! Thanks Petroff center:) I have already referred a face lift client & Rhinoplasty to you guys because of your beautiful work!"
"Rhinoplasty + Septoplasty - Could not say enough great things about this place, the surgical team & Dr. Petroff! It has only been 9 days since my Rhinoplasty & Septoplasty... and I’m absolutely in love with it!! My surgical team was wonderful & made it so comfortable for me during my procedure. Dr. Petroff gave me the perfect nose for my face & I am forever grateful!!!"
"rhinoplasty - Saw Dr. Petroff for rhinoplasty. Service and care has been amazing. Highly recommend."
"DR PETROFF IS MY HERO! I got a nose job by him 5 months ago and it was amazing after the first week, by it literally just keeps getting cuter each month. I'm slightly ashamed about how many selfies I now take. My biggest insecurity for 20 years of my life is now something I'm SO confident about. Not to mention, the surgery was a breeze, my after bandage was cute and petite, my bruising was minimal and I basically went back to my life almost right away. One of best decisions I've ever made!"
"I want to thank Dr. Petroff and his incredible staff for being so helpful and friendly throughout the entire process of my rhinoplasty surgery. Everything went smoother than I could have ever imagined and I would have done the surgery much sooner knowing what I do now. I did research on many cosmetic plastic surgeons in the Portland area and elsewhere. After hearing good things from friends and others who have had experience with Dr. Petroff I decided to schedule a consultation. When I met with Dr. Petroff he was very clear and confident about what he could do to improve the look of my nose as well as what to expect throughout the process. Now that the surgery is over I'm extremely satisfied with the result. I would recommend that anyone who is considering getting a rhinoplasty surgery go see Dr. Petroff."

"I cannot say enough about the Petroff center and their entire staff! After a botched rhinoplasty, Petroff was able to transform my nose into a slim, sloped beautiful piece of art! Their entire staff works so well together and helped me feel comfortable and at home throughout the entire process. I can't imagine a better result, or having a better group of people to work with. Thank you Dr. Petroff and team! (Special shout out to the surgical coordinator Bri, nurses Heidi and Kelsey, anesthesiologist Geannie and of course Dr Petroff!)"

"Dr Petroff and his staff have exceeded my expectations and then some! Not only do they have a beautiful facility, they have some of the most helpful staff I've ever encountered. I had a VERY botched nose procedure out of the country years ago. I had heard great things about Dr. Petroff and decided to have my survery with him. He restored my nose to far beyond what I ever expected - my slope and tip are absolutely perfect, I always get compliments on my nose! I went in for a revision surgery and Petroff kindly didn't charge me his fee. I've been a repeat customer of the Petroff center and highly recommend them if you're considering rhinoplasty."
"Dr Petroff is absolutely amazing!!! I'm so happy with the way my nose healed. Looks so natural and normal."
"Dr. Petroff is an extremely good facial plastic surgeon. He performed a revision rhinoplasty and the experience I had here was incredible. The staff makes you feel comfortable and important. Dr. Petroff performed this surgery under local anesthesia (my first rhinoplasty used general anesthesia) and the recovery period was way quicker and easier to manage. He did a great job and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get a rhinoplasty done."
"Rhinoplasty - FL vs. OR - Has experience, is a facial surgeon, has a generally pleasant demeanor"
"Last doctor left my tip drooping without any support and it felt like my nose was hardly attached after 4.5 years. Consequently, I had a nice BEAK when previous to the tip rhinoplasty my profile was mostly straight.Now, after Dr. Petroff's artistry, my profile and tip are more refined, straight, perky, tip is supported, and IT FEELS ATTACHED quickly after surgery! What a blessing, and SO worth it! Dr. Petroff knows his craft!"
"I interviewed several doctors before selecting Dr. Petroff for my rhinoplasty, and I could not be happier. His staff was super professional and friendly, and he was the most knowledgeable and experienced of all. He did amazing work, and I have gotten many compliments! I could not be happier!"
"I really had no idea what to expect going into this, but my overall experience was AMAZING! Dr. P was very comforting and I felt confident all would be well. My nurses, Jessica and Kelsey, were awesome. I had no pain t/o the whole thing and now I have a very cute nose :) thank you all!! "

"I had a rhinoplasty done in Feb 2013 at the Petroff center. Dr. Petroff is a fantastic cosmetic surgeon. I could not believe the results. He did exactly what I wanted and I'd go back again when the need arises. His staff are all courteous and extremely helpful. And the facilities are spotless. Surgery is never... fun, but the Petroff center went out of their way to make it as painless as possible. Thank you Dr. Petroff and staff for a job, very, well done :o)"
"I'm so happy I chose The Petroff Center! Most amazing experience, staff, and rhinoplasty I could have ever imagined. Dr. Petroff changed my life for the better, I've never been happier in my life and truly am so amazing by his spectacular work, he is honestly an artist! I'm so happy with my results and recovery, absolutely amazing! :)"

"Dr. Petroff is known as the rhinoplasty expert. Not only is he an outstanding facial surgeon but also a creative artist who really listens to his clients and offers a unique and customized plan. Dr. Petroff and his team far exceeded my expectations."
"I went to Dr. Petroff for a lower facelift. I live in Beverly Hills and Del Mar, CA. I could have gone local but selected Dr. Petroff for the procedure. I am very happy with the results and the entire process from the office setting, staff and Dr. Petroff himself. I recommend him 110%. I felt confident about every aspect. He and his staff are caring. The results look natural which is very important. I would do it again knowing what I know now !"
"I have hated my nose since I was a teenager. I have an fraternal twin sister who ended up with my mother's cute little nose, while I got my dad's schnoz (as he likes to call it). I always thought that someday I would do it and then, after series of life changing events, I decided that time was now at 28 years old. I began looking around for surgeons in the Portland area, reading reviews, etc, but was having trouble picking which one would be the best. Its hard to trust someone you don't know with your face, no matter how great their reviews may be. Then my long time childhood friend took the plunge and got the procedure done by one of the surgeons I had been looking at. Her results looked fantastic. Not too much, not too little, so I made the consultation appointment. My advice when going into a consult is to have as many questions as you can think of already written down. Make sure you know exactly what you want to be different about your nose so you can communicate that with your surgeon, so you get the best results. They will tell you if its doable or not. I went in wanting two things but after discussing the it with the doctor decided on three major changes: taking away the width from the bridge (my bridge was abnormally wide), making the bridge shorter and then my doctor suggested changing the tip so it wasn't pointed down so much, which I agreed with but not until he pointed it out. One good piece of advice he gave me to pass on is: almost always have an open procedure. If you don't the tip of your nose will not look right. Its very rare to change the bridge with out slightly altering the tip and having it look balanced. I scheduled the surgery for December 10th (just yesterday!) and even though I am still in the beginning stages of recovery I am so glad I did it. Here are some things to consider that I didn't at first: -Anesthesia: if they give you an option go for the twilight anesthesia, its less risky. I was scared to do it this way at first but actually preferred it to general. I didn't feel sick and I could leave 30min after my procedure was done. -Have someone that will take care of you for at least the first 24 if not 48 ( my twin sis was so helpful, I wouldn't have made it through that first day with out her). She changed all my nose "dressings," made me food and got me ice. - Make sure you get all your loose ends tied up before surgery: clean your house, pay bills, get tons of movies, easy to make food, etc. -Go into it knowing that having a couple days in which is feel depressed or regretful of your choice is totally normal. -Ice, ice, ice! I don't think my face would be so swollen had I iced more in the beginning. Its one of those things you have to stay ahead of Now that I am almost two days post surgery I am finally feeling a little less zombie like. My eyes are incredible black and swollen but I went in for my first post op visit and the doctor said that it was fine. He said that some people get all of their bleeding and swelling all at once, while other people have it come on later. Even though the cast is still on, I can tell its so much smaller!!! I am so excited and will post pictures when my face calms down.Updated on 12 Dec 2012:Also: My surgeon offered a vitamin program for surgery/trauma that helped so much. It was $100 but worth it! If yours does not the main two that helped were: Arnica Montana 30X HPUS and Bromelain w/ Quercetin"
"I went in for a rhinoplasty a couple of months ago. I showed Dr. Petroff photos of what I wanted my nose to look like. He did exactly that. He knows what he is doing. Apparently he does 30% more rhinoplasties than the average PS.I was very nervous, but the staff was very calming and welcoming. Would highly recommend!!"
"Dr. Petroff and his staff are all highly trained professionals. I was very comfortable throughout the entire rhinoplasty procedure and would recommend his office to anyone wishing to improve their looks. The level of attention given to my needs was unparalleled. Thank you Dr. Petroff and staff for a job well done!"
"Finally Did It! - Lake Oswego, OR - If you are in the Portland area and considering Rhinoplasty, Dr. Petroff and his staff are literally the best around. Everyone, from when you walk in the door until you leave, is so nice and courteous. And Dr. Petroff clearly knows what he is doing."

"Long-lasting Resultswere Better Than I Could Have Imagined - Portland, OR - I had always hated my nose and my profile. When talking to someone in a car, I'd angle my body so that I was facing them so they couldn't see my profile. When in bed with a boyfriend, I'd always sleep facing away, so he couldn't see my profile. I avoided having my picture taken, and when I couldn't, I'd make goofy faces. The real turning point came when I was at a wedding with an (ex) boyfriend, and thought, "When I get married, how am I going to say my vows without people seeing my profile?" Three months later, I scheduled my rhinoplasty and chin implant. I had it done in Feb 2010. I was so excited that I didn't allow myself to be nervous. In fact, the first thing I said when I woke up after my surgery was, "That felt just like a spa day!" For a month before/after my surgery, I: took special surgery vitamins, extra vitamin C, cut out all blood thinning foods, most salt, and loaded up on protein shakes so my body could re build. I took a full two weeks off work. It has been two years since my surgery, and these have been the best two years of my life. My nose isn't perfect - there's a tiny bump on it still and it's not perfectly symmetrical, but I love it. People say you can't expect that plastic surgery will give you self esteem or confidence or dramatically change your life, but it did all of those for me. In the past two years, I've dated the most beautiful men, have had random people come up and tell me how pretty I am, and have had pictures taken of me from every angle, and guess what? They all look great! There is such a notable difference, but you know how many people from my "past" even noticed that I had some "work done"? One. That's it! Lots of people from high school who haven't seen me in years (and guys who never ever spoke to me before) have told me how beautiful I've become, but not even my close girl friends have guessed I've had surgery. I paid $10K for my nose job and chin implant, but you know what? If I had to do it all over again I'd happily pay twice that. If you're considering getting rhinoplasty, DO IT. I only had consultations with two doctors, and feel lucky that the surgery turned out so well. I'd recommend consulting with many doctors; look at all their before/after pictures; and don't be in a hurry. I think it took a good year + for all the swelling to go down. My nose now looks vastly different than the nose I saw when my cast was first removed - it looks better. If you're hesitating, don't. Just make sure that you pick a good doctor, and don't let the cost be a factor."
"Deep Plane Face Lift - Oregon - It has been 2 weeks after the face-lift. My face feels Pulled back,, & VERY TIGHT. Neck is tight. I actually looked pulled back, even though the doctor indicated that deep plane lift do not result in pulled back look. His before & after pictures looked good. He has had 20 years of experience. I don't look like myself, & can't sleep well at night. I am scared I will have a permanent pulled back look. The doctor stated everything should relax over the next 2 to 3 months. I am VERY DISSAPOINTED!! Updated on 8 Jan 2011:I will wait 3 to 4 months & post my results. Hopefully everything will settle with time as indicated by oldnew.Updated on 22 Jul 2011:Hello all: It has now been 7 months now since my face lift. I am sooo better. My face has settled, & doesn't look tight anymore. In fact I had to get some fillers under my eyes (restalane) & Radiasse for my cheeks/nasolabial folds...to give me that "youthful look". I am 52, and people think I am in my late 20's. early 30's. Everything has settled nicely. Now after 7 months..I am "loving it". Finally!!! It does take time for everything to settle.Updated on 19 Jan 2015:I had my facelift in 2011. Everything has settled. Now I go in regularly for sculptra, radiesse, Botox etc. To keep myself looking as young as I feel. I feel like I'm thirty something, but am 56.... Yikes!! Time flies fast! I hope to continue aging gracefully, although wanting a natural graceful aging vs "Joan Rivers" look (God rest her soul). You must do your homework and look for highly qualified plastic surgeons with excellent reputations when it comes to surgery, vs a doctor trying to make "a fast buck". I am pleased with my outcome. For my face I went with a facial plastic surgeon."
"I went to Dr. Petroff about a year ago for a nose job and chin implant - the cost was reasonable, but I'd gladly pay twice that. I'm so happy with it. Dr. Petroff is confident, straightforward, and incredible at what he does. I recently went back for filler. He's a plastic surgeon but still charges less than the cheapy med-spa I'd been going to. He's a perfectionist, and it shows."
