This woman wanted to correct the bump on the bridge of her nose, without changing any other aspect of her nose. Since the bump was her only concern she felt surgery was too invasive for a small correction, so she had non surgical rhinoplasty.

Hi everyone! I want to share my experience because, prior to my procedure, I got a lot of reassurance from reading reviews from his other patients. I’d like to do the same for anyone out there who needs it. It’s been almost two weeks since I had my rhinoplasty with Dr. Rivkin and I am really happy with the results so far. He listened attentively to my complaints while using his many years of experience to create the perfect nose for my face. One of the things I really loved was that he gets straight to the point. He explained everything to me without holding back. The time leading up to the surgery was really good. The staff members were really organized and fast when answering calls or emails. They showed great professionalism and made me feel valued. I’m really glad I chose Dr. Rivkin to handle my procedure though it’d be great if the parking problems at his office could be solved!
