After years of feeling self-conscious about the prominent dorsal hump on my nose and an overall protruding nasal bridge, I finally made the decision to pursue rhinoplasty. I had spent countless hours researching the best plastic surgeons in the area, reading reviews, and looking at qualifications, What stood out immediately to me was Dr. Salvatore Pacella’s exceptional reputation, his education and consistent history of successful similar cases.
Since this was going to be my first surgery ever, I needed a plastic surgeon who was not only technically excellent but also compassionate, communicative, and patient-focused. From the moment I stepped into Dr. Pacella’s office for my initial consultation, I felt at ease. The environment is warm, welcoming, and impeccably clean, and his staff—from the front desk to the clinical nurses—treat you with the utmost kindness and professionalism.
During our first meeting, Dr. Pacella listened intently as I explained my concerns and goals. He took the time to thoroughly explain the rhinoplasty procedure, including what changes were possible, what the recovery process would look like, and realistic expectations for the final result. What I appreciated most was how confident yet respectful he was—he never pushed me, never rushed me, and truly wanted me to feel empowered and informed in my decision-making.
Leading up to the surgery, the team provided detailed pre-operative instructions, checked in regularly, and answered every single one of my questions. On the day of the procedure, I felt fully prepared and in incredibly safe hands.
The post-surgical care was excellent! .I had regular follow-ups, and Dr. Pacella monitored my healing closely, ensuring everything was progressing properly. He and his staff were attentive through the whole process!!
Now, several months later, I can confidently say that this procedure has changed my life. My nose looks exactly how I hoped it would— it balances my facial features, looks more refined but still natural.
I cannot recommend Dr. Pacella and his team highly enough. Thank you, Dr. Pacella!
UPDATE/FOLLOW UP: My nose is healing perfectly. I recently saw family who I haven't seen in a while and they commented on how great and natural my nose looks. They said, "It complimented my face structure" hearing this is the best feeling in the world. Thank you Dr. Pacella!!!
