Dr. Michael Zacharia

I had primary rhinoplasty with Medical professional Dr Zacharia one year ago. He solved many of my problems and also was very honest about the likelihood of success. He also supplied more cost-effective and also less high-risk choice techniques. Later on he promptly answered further queries I had sent through email. He is really a capable medical professional. The rating which rates him badly is wrong. I was treated with great care by him.

Having worked in the image-conscious airline industry, I can easily say that I have always been proud about looking after my skin and appearance.
No matter how much water I drank, or how much sleep I got, I just couldnt wipe the tired look off my face. That was five years ago when one of my colleagues told me You should go and see Dr Zacharia, and since then I have never looked back Dr Zacharia has become my go-to for fillers and injections to even out my complexion.
However, having suffered from chronic and painful conjunctivitis that makes me look like Ive been in the ring with Mike Tyson - even when I am well rested people would ask me why I look so tired - I decided it was time to step up my treatments to fix these issues for good.
I really want to come out of these procedures looking just that little bit fresher.

I was having some difficulty finding the right surgeon for rhinoplasty in New South Wales, Australia. I was overwhelmed from the research I was doing because there were so many available that I didn't know which one to choose. I found out about a particular surgeon and upon further research, I was happy to discover that the Dr Michael Zacharia surgeon had great reviews from his previous rhinoplasty patients which is exactly what I was looking for. Confidently professional in all aspects of his consultation & Rhinoplasty Surgery. I appreciated the honesty, and that is where I developed a sense of trust with this doctor. I was able to find my Clinic and surgeon faster instead of spending weeks doing research and more research.

Dr. Michael Zacharia performed a cosmetic rhinoplasty on my nose in July, 2015. I truthfully am more pleased with the outcomes. He eliminated some sort of lump through the link of the sinuses. The treatment made the sinuses more compact overall. Michael Zach along with the website made it possible to get response to all the inquiries along with considerations, thus I was completely prepared for both the surgery as well as the recovery process. It has been 4 months given that the surgical procedures along with I am over and above content when I look in the mirror. Michael Zacharia knowledge tise ensured my rhinoplasty was a great success in every way.

I would like to preface by clarifying that the following is a factual account of my experience and is not intended to defame the character or practice of Dr Zacharia. In 2021, I sought a consultation with Dr Zacharia to reduce the size of my nose and to slightly raise the tip. Subsequently, I sought a second consultation with Dr Zacharia to inquire about the necessity of waiting for threads to naturally dissolve in my nose before proceeding with the surgery, as advised by my cosmetic injector. During this consultation, I expressed my desire to make additional changes with the morph, including a very slight raising of the tip and eliminating any visible nostril show.

Prior to my primary rhinoplasty, I reiterated my desired outcomes to Dr Zacharia, emphasising that I wanted only a very slight raising of the tip and no visible nostrils. However, upon receiving the results of my surgery, I was shocked and extremely upset to find that my nose had been raised significantly higher than desired, my columella was removed and retracted, and that my nostrils were now extremely visible from the front. At my six-week post-op appointment, Dr Zacharia expressed uncertainty about whether the threads had caused these complications. Despite these concerns, Dr Zacharia proceeded with a revision and promised to lower my nose and reduce nostril visibility and to fix my retracted columella by adding ear cartilage to the columella.

Unfortunately, this revision did not yield the desired results (my columella is still retracted, I have an indent on my columella which is visible on frontal view, my nostrils are uneven, I have bumps on my nostrils that have lasted over a year and excessive nostril show), and Dr Zacharia subsequently resorted to injecting filler into my columella. However, this intervention did not resolve the issue, as a visible dent remained in the columella. Dr Zacharia also removed cartilage from my nose tip, despite the fact that we had not discussed this prior to the surgery. Ultimately, the results of both my primary and revision rhinoplasties left me feeling extremely disappointed and unhappy with my appearance.

I have since sought the opinions of other surgeons, all of whom have recommended further revision to address the remaining issues with my nose. Additionally, I experienced a concerning incident when Dr Zacharia injected filler into my columella, during which I experienced a vascular occlusion. Despite expressing my concerns to Dr Zacharia about the unusual symptoms I was experiencing, he dismissed my concerns and advised me to "monitor it". I was also advised to call back the next morning, as the office was only open for a limited time that day. I was dismayed to learn that Dr Zacharia would not have administered hyalase, the recommended treatment for a vascular occlusion, had I been not been in Sydney at the time.

I would like to reiterate that this account is not intended to disparage Dr Zacharia or his practice, but rather to provide an accurate record of my experiences and concerns.
