Choosing the right plastic surgeon is one of the most important decisions I’ve had to make. It took me over 6 months of research before I found Dr. Pearlman. It was very important to me to find a surgeon highly skilled in performing ethnic rhinoplasties (specifically African American) which can be among the most complex of rhinoplasty surgeries. Dr. Pearlman is dual-board certified. He’s the only surgeon in my search who posts his Curriculum Vitae on his website. As someone who works in the medical profession as a DNP, I greatly appreciate the ability to see Dr. Pearlman’s educational background, where he trained (residency and fellowship), as well as his speaking and teaching events and awards, recognitions, and professional affiliations. The next thing I wanted to see prior to making my decision was before and after photos. Dr. Pearlman’s site was the only one where there were several pictures of my particular ethnicity. In addition to that, he has photos and bios of his staff who are also very ethnically diverse (which I love).

I scheduled my consultation and the second I met Dr. Pearlman I knew he was the surgeon for me. He’s very friendly and kind. It’s extremely important to have a good rapport with your surgeon. As soon as you walk in the door, you’re greeted with a smile and very friendly staff. I felt welcomed as if I were a family member. Everyone I met had a smile and a friendly disposition. That was a great experience. I told Dr. Pearlman what I didn’t like about my nose and what I wanted changed. He patiently explained anatomy, function, the surgical process, and outcome. Dr. Pearlman answered the few questions I had after his thorough explanation. We were both on the same page regarding maintaining my ethnic identity while achieving my desired goals. At that point I made the decision to have Dr. Pearlman perform my surgery.
The day of surgery everyone , especially Tiffany RN, made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. That morning when I saw Dr. Pearlman before surgery, he had a smile and a calming voice and I was instantly at ease and ready. After surgery I truly felt fine. I had no pain whatsoever. I felt a mild burning inside my nose similar to that of a paper cut. I had the cast on and a dressing under my nose above my upper lip. To my surprise I had no difficulty breathing at all. A testament to the great skills of Dr. Pearlman. Not once during my recovery did I have a problem breathing.

I had an open rhinoplasty where an incision is made on the underside of the nose between the nostrils (columella). The incision is done in somewhat of a z shaped pattern. My main concern was scarring and keloid formation. About 2 months post-op I couldn’t even see any sign of the incision. I’m constantly looking at my nose in a 10x magnification mirror and there’s no evidence of a scar at all. Again, attributing to Dr. Pearlman’s skills.

It’s been just about six months since my surgery and I can honestly say choosing Dr. Pearlman was the best decision. I still have a lot of swelling (ethnic rhinoplasty takes a little longer for the swelling to subside due to the thickness of our skin) and I like what I see so far. My nose is just going to get better and I’m going to love it. I’m truly thankful to Dr. Pearlman. If I had to do it over again, would I choose Dr. Pearlman? A thousand percent yes! He’s the best.

Dr Pearlman is an amazing doctor. I enjoyed my consultation with him. He has his patients best interest at heart. He is very knowledgeable and will recommend the best regimen for you. His nurse Christine and staff provide the best service. Thank you!!

Everything about my experience with Dr. Pearlman and his entire staff has been and continues to be amazing. Deciding on a facial surgical procedure can be overwhelming, but I was comfortable and confident from the start in Dr. Pearlman's hands. He addressed all my questions and concerns before and after the procedure. My results are incredible! I actually feel comfortable going without makeup and believe I look 10 years younger. Excellent experience with injectables as well. In addition to amazing results thanks to a very talented doctor, the friendly professionalism of Dr. Pearlman's staff made this experience so positive. They are genuinely kind and happy to see their patients!
